This lakers team is good enough to get a top seed...in the East circa 2017.

I don't care about Embiid vs Jokic debates. Both of them are having awesome as hell seasons. Both had ridiculous games tonight too! Wow


Jokic may be the best player in the NBA. The bigger thing I take from this is a mostly healthy Nuggets team outside of Murray/MPJ struggled mightily to beat a Clippers team in OT who had Zubac as the leading scorer. While Jokic dropped 49/14/10. Why did Jokic have to put up that stat line to get the W vs very depleted Clippers?


LOL. Mostly healthy except missing their 2nd and 3rd best players. That isn't mostly healthy.


It’s relative when the Clippers are missing Kawhi, PG, Batum etc. Kennard’s out of protocol first time in weeks etc.

Russ was horrible all game. 1-11 from 2. Hit a few miracles threes. 3 rebs, 2 assists (but JUST 1 TURNOVER DOE).

Melo killed us late in the game. I don't blame him for missed 3s (**** happens) but the in the key stretch he gave up so many points. That one Levert 3 where Melo just backed off because **** knows what he's doing was so deflating.

Horrible, horrible game management. Need more Dwight, Stanley, Reaves - guys that actually play hard. There was stretch where our bench mob was actually building a lead. Just awful game.

Only positive is that we had the balls to bench Russ's broke ass towards the end.

Vogel needs to go.

How did the Pacers win that game lol. Lakers had just beaten the Jazz and looked like they had turned it around for the season.

The silver lining is the Lakers have a free win vs the Magic their next game, which should boost them back to contender status and save Vogels job.

Frankie’s coaching gig is probably done. Now he can go back to Impractical Jokers.

Melo is such a dumb player. He single handily lost that game. Horrible defense, constantly getting targeted, couldn’t make a shot in the fourth, and had a horrible turnover.

What was Vogel thinking playing him?

The magic are 1-9 over their last 10 and are by far the worst team in the league.

Lakers will look like world beaters against then and the media will be buzzing that they have "finally figured it out".

The test will be if they can beat the Heat the very next game after.
