Idk about that, its been 3 Qs and it just seems like we came out with more energy as a team

Vando needed minutes in general

We are also 13/22 from 3.....

See what happens when you make 3s, we are great

And just like that, Bron sits and a 9-0 run by OKC.....pathetic

Yeah I actually don't think this lineup change is viable long term, and it's not like they're defending any better. :lol: Whatever works though.

:crazy: :noway: Yeah because it's common for LeBron to score 40 points on 19 shots lol. Bailing him out big time, everyone including you knew that was a bad lineup.

Imagine if LeBron got nine or 10 free throws every game like SGA, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, LILLARD, etc.

Ham isn’t the greatest coach, he’s objectively been fine

Peep the lebron thread in 2018 and you’ll see guys say lue is the worst too lmao, people suck at evaluating coaching, if a dude says Malone is mid and vogel and ham are the worst he’s ever seen he ain’t got a clue what he’s talking about lol

LA's best W of the season easily. While playing 5-on-8 most of the night to boot. They always look different when they make 3's like the rest of the league does.

I wouldn't want any part of that OKC team in the playoffs. Good lord are they relentless. Most other teams would've lost by 30 tonight.

LeBron with a flawless performance and you could tell he wanted it bad from get go. Continues to play his best ball since the 2020 bubble playoffs.

Great to see DLo finally on the bench. And hopefully not even there after the deadline.

This team still needs a proper wing that can score and isn't a liability defensively. Reddish/Prince/Vando are all too 1 dimensional.

Wow, interesting. Don't hear much of that.

How did you arrive there? Objectively, of course. :D

The Lakers just really need a backup big that can block/alter shots and rebound.

Yep they do.

It's become apparent that Reaves defense works with backup rim protection. Without that his tight defense leaves him open to guys driving past and getting a bucket. His style of defense needs it.

Wood works well with LeBron in a LeBron ball offense but that's about it. Unless they work out a rotation where Reaves always plays with Davis and LeBron always plays with Wood.
