This game has all the makings of a trap game. Hawks can lowkey fill it up, we better step up our defensive intensity.

Still shocked how absolutely terrible this team is on Defense with Lebron in and Ball out...

Part of that is also us getting worse the less time we play Tyson. Tyson needs to play double digit minutes too

If we lose this game we just need to cut luke loose and end it now. There is no point in keeping him if we are going to can him. If Lebron really wants and African American coach give him b Shaw until the offseason. We gotta make the playoffs. There is a slim chance we do that but we need all players and coaches on the same damn page

Trae Young may tear us a new one.

Rondo better not give zero points again. He was basically Lonzo without the defense against Philly

Tyson has been ruled out with a toe injury. Good thing we're deep, and have Zu....nevermind.

Are they giving up on modeling the game like the Dubs and following a big PG, big starting five ala Philly?

Lakers with the easy blowout victory. We begin our playoff surge tonight.

Watch us lose this game. This team is so poorly coached. Talk about defense.

This is painful to watch. Terrible defense.

The Hawks are 10-16 on 3 pointers...in the first quarter. Alex Len 3-3 from down town. This cannot be real...

38 points given up in the first quarter

Does luke teach defense

Another awful quarter. That's 5 straight quarters the Lakers have given up 33+ points per. Hawks shooting 10-17 from behind the arc. Seemingly every night the opposition hits threes against the Lakers :nonono:

Does this team have any idea what defense is ffs? We lose a guard and can no longer defend a cone. Tbh lbj kills any team defense cause he doesn’t help or rotate at all. He’s such a liability on that end

Solid coaching by Luke to regsin the lead. We have no clue what does it mean to play offense. Pathetic on that part

LeBron has 7 of the 8 team assists.

How's that roster of playmakers going?

He's a top 10 coach according to some here. Nvm the fact he's 89-131 over a 3 year span... this is enough to get most coaches canned by now.

Also not a fan of Shaw. I'm in favor of riding it out with Luke until the end of the season; then a major overhaul of the coaching staff in the offseason.
