Lakers look very bad. Luka can only do so much. Losing DFS and adding smart laravia and ayton is a downgrade.

[The Laker Kid]

Trade Ayton. Laker fans have no patience for this, he's sucked the last 20 minutes!

[___Rand___]

There's no hope for Lakers. I'm going back to watching Alien Earth.

Smart is just out there to hurt people.

DeAndre Ayton is no Rudy Gobert

[Maxthirty]

Imagine paying Marcus Smart to play basketball for your team lol

It's all he has left

Pelinka needs to find a way to Nico Bucks and trade Ayton for Giannis straight up

[blueberrysticky]

Get an actual rim running defensive big to go with Luka. What is Ayton doing outside of throwing the game.

Put an athletic defensive big with Luka and watch the wins come

[guynumber45]

Poor Luka. Bro spent years dragging garbage Mavs teams. He finally got a decent team and took them to the finals immediately, only to get traded less than a year later and being set back to square one

This Lakers team is bad and may take years to field a competitive roster around Luka

[Calinks]

Every year the Lakers get hyped to hell and every year they have struggled. Going to take 20 games like this for the media to start doubting them and only take a 3 game win streak for them to reve the hype train up for the next 20.

He is ass but he hasn't play for a while, I think the Blazers sat him the last 2 months or so and this is his first game with Luka and his new team. Give him some time. I don't think Lakers have much choice either, who wants him?

[Crazy-Canuck]

Lakers cant guard any perimeter player with a pulse. Kuminga, jimmy, and steph are killing them.

AJ is going to look good in a lakers jersey.

Why are they not giving Ayton the ball and let him be Dominayton? He's going to get a lot of hate and it isn't his fault because his teammates never gives him the ball and go to work.

[OldSchoolNoBull]

I'm not ready to write Ayton off after three quarters of one game. Obviously he has issues, and I was never overly hyped about the signing, but I was intrigued by the notion that Luka could conceivably unlock something in his game. I'll give it more than one game before I dismiss that notion.

I will say - and I've only watched this third quarter, I didn't watch the first half - Luka seems to be looking for his own shot every time, and not setting his teammates up enough. I know that's been a common criticism of him throughout his career.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Kuminga playing really well for the Dubs

[SlimShady83]

I just got home near end of 3rd now ...

Where the Fark is this so called "Angry Ayton" C'mon Ayton don't make start the early trade Ayton chant lol

[The4thHorseman]

Pretty dumb by Reaves

[TinmanZBoy]

lose weight or not... is it still the same old same old Luka Doncic, dominate every offensive possession, lazy on defense?

[DusterBuster]

Ayton experiment going about as I expected…
