Being a 2 man team is not going to cut it for LA

We just got too many non shooters.

Goodwin is basically Vando.

It's so crazy that one angle can look like clearly NOT a goaltend, and another looks like clearly IS a goaltend. Imagine being an official trying to make that close call in real time.

I forgot Anthony Edwards is playing. He’s been a total no show like Tobias Harris in Philly

That’s funny cause lots of Lakers fans feel like she hates the Lakers cause of the way she glazes other teams.

Lebron James and Luka Doncic


With no center and no bench? Hard to imagine to be honest.

Is this going to be another Kyrie/Lebron CLE type performance from LA?
