Im a Lakers hater and i dont hide it, but i want to see Luka put up 60/15/15 tonight. It will be not as interesting as it would be in Dallas but still will be a nice game.

This game is going to be a rollercoaster of emotions. On one hand, I'm not ready for the cameras to zoom in on AD when the Lakers play a tribute video. But that felling will fade quick when the whole stadium inevitably erupts in a "Thank You Nico" chant while Luka delivers a royal ass whopping.

Won't be the same without AD, but I'm still hoping for a good game and it should if Kyrie plays a stellar game.

The scenes will probably rival the ones during the french revolution.

Luka massacre
Raul
“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

Going to be interested to see if they put Max Christie on Luka

I'll take the over on assists for Luka and the under for points tonight

Well, Luka could easily score +20pts in the first QT alone..
I am damn sure LBJ will come out and say this is your night Luka, we will feed you with the ball, go do your thing.
JJ Redick will make sure Lakers get W though, even if it will impact Doncic’s stat line.
Luka might try to hard and have sub-par game, but if i would have to be on one of two:
I would put my money on +40pts tripple double.
And Nico will be there tonight..POPCORN TIME BABY

Lakers/Nuggets saw a 29% increase in viewership compared to Celtics/Knicks in the same slot last year (Saturday Primetime on ABC). Lakers being good is good for the NBA, plain and simple.

Good luck either way. Cavs are living high on the hog, 7 game win streak, so now is the best time to strike, while they are fat & sassy.
