The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

Zion Williamson is a beast.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Huge win against an improved N.O. team on the road, without AD and CaruShow. 

LBJ gets another triple double, Kuz had a strong game (20 pts), and Morris and KCP were solid off of the bench. 

46-13, with 14 of the remaining 23 games being at Staples Center and still being 6 up in the loss column on the Clippers and Nuggets

[Angel Oracle]

Ninth win in the past 10 games, 120-107 over Philly, as AD and LBJ do the usual (59 pts between them, 14 assists for LBJ)

Still 6 games up on the Clippers and now 7 games up on the Nuggets

Showdown #2 on Friday night with the Bucks, bringing back 1971-72 season memories

Like it was just yesterday.

"Veteran guard Dion Waiters has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium on Thursday afternoon."

[m0nkey]

Yes!!!

[Angel Oracle]

Good scorer off of the bench, decent passer

[Lou]

Playoff berth clinched

[Stradling]

Big frickin win last night. Really good defensively in the second half. 

[Angel Oracle]

LBJ once again does it all.  37/8/8

Clearly a two guy MVP race 

No better duo in the NBA than LBJ/AD

Defense was solid.   Offense in the second half was golden.  Scoring 65 pts in a half on the Bucks is no easy feat.

Staples was loud during the 18-0 run in the 3rd quarter.

Six games up on the Clippers with 21 to play

Staples Showdown tomorrow at 12:30!

Nice win for the Lakers on Friday night.

That will be a great NBA Finals if those two teams make it that far.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Lakers dominate the second half (63-50) just like Friday night, and beat the Clippers by 9.

SEVEN up on the Clippers with 20 to play

Also, back to back losses by Milwaukee and they lose Giannis for a few games.  We're only 2 games back of the best record in the league and home court advantage throughout the playoffs.  Felt great beating the Clippers, nice game by Avery Bradley especially!

[Angel Oracle]

Giannis' injury, for their sake, is hopefully not too serious.    It's like the Lakers not having LBJ.  

[beatlesrule]

What a pathetic game. Lakers once again played down to the level of their opponent. LOL at LeBron missing that easy layup.

[Angel Oracle]

I wouldn’t say once again.

How many games have they lost to under .500 teams?   Two or three tops?

Letdown game after two great and exhausting wins this weekend, that’s all it was.

[Tank]

one of the players on the Utah jazz tested positive for the cover-19 virus. not only is tonight's game canceled, but the NBA has also announced they are suspending the rest of the season while they evaluate what to do next.

this could end up being like the 1994 MLB season (it was lost to a strike, but you get the idea) where there was no champion team.

Bradley not coming to Orlando for the restart, big loss

Good decision.

Now sign JR Smith and let's get started.

[Angel Oracle]

Hoping Dion Waiters can help out a little in Johnson's absence

Time for Rondo to take the DeLorean back to 2008

Now on top of Bradley's opting out, Rondo is out 6-8 weeks (thumb fracture).   KCP is expected to be the starting PG, with Caruso backing him up.

Rondo will hopefully be back by late in the first round of the playoffs. 

[Angel Oracle]

Does anyone care about the playoffs?    I've kept up on the scores and box scores, but otherwise haven't watched.

Lakers up 3-1

I've watched all the games. I'm hoping tonight's game doesn't get canceled.
