Thank you for everything you did for this franchise,
@KingJames
we love you and you’re a Laker for life after that 2020 championship.
Demand that trade in April, man. Go somewhere you can play competitive basketball. We won’t be mad. 😪
Chris Paul starts making faces and it’s “Poor Suns”
Mike Conley hasn’t played a lick and I haven’t heard a word from analysts or commentators about him being out. Weird.
Said it before and I will say it again...
I couldn’t be more proud to have LeBron represent our Lakers. He’s just cut from that special cloth. This man belongs in the purple & gold 💜💛
If Kyrie demands a trade to the Lakers, leverage isn’t a thing for the Nets anymore. They’re gonna be held over a barrel.
Their Options?
1) Trade Kyrie to the Lakers for a substandard package
2) Pay Kyrie $36.5M to go home
If Pelinka can’t win that trade? I give up.
I’m not even joking, if the Lakers sign Mark Jackson or Doc Rivers as the next coach I’m completely giving up on the team next year.
It’s always gonna be Lakers for life but this shit is dangerously close to being a historic clown show.
Boycott time may be near.
In the worst way possible, this Lakers team is 100x different from the team I grew up watching. 0 similarities besides the name.
I want my team back. Please shake up management and operations this summer. Don’t blame everything on Luke and some 21 year olds. SMH.
The Toronto Raptors lost Kawhi to the Clippers in the 11th hour of Free Agency for NOTHING and have a better record than the Clips currently.
40-14. Clips won’t even get a shot at 40 wins till after the AS break.
What a story. Bravo, Toronto.
Anthony Davis' importance can't be understated when it comes to a matchup with the Clippers or Nets. He's really that one piece that changes the dynamic
LeBron created like 4 Wolves turnovers in that 4th Q. He may not have done it by scoring, but Bron still won us this game. Great close that we desperately needed.
Clippers have the easiest route in the entire Western Conference because they took the entire season off 🙃
Lakers play the game the right way all year and get completely fucked like this. Whatever man, I don't think any of those teams can beat the Lakers in a series anyways.
Are the Jazz, the team that the Lakers destroyed twice, the best team in the West now for making the Clippers look like scrubs?
Or are the Clippers still the best team because the Lakers blew a lead on Christmas?
Stop crowning people in December y’all
KCP, Markieff Morris, and Rondo have a better 3P% this postseason than anybody on the Heat. The Lakers also have a higher team 3P% than the Heat in the postseason.
I def get trusting Miami's shooting over LA's, but Lakers' depth isn't some trash. Everything suggests otherwise.
Just wanna say this before Kawhi news drops...
I truly love Lakers Twitter. It’s one of the coolest communities I’m a part of, and I’m so grateful to have awesome insightful followers on here to discuss the craziest franchise on earth with.
Y’all remain the best 💜💛
One of the breakout players of The Bubble – Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr., -- has signed with Klutch Sports, CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN. Paul and agent Lucas Newton will rep Trent Jr.
Austin Reaves is already a rotation player in the NBA. That changes a LOT of things for the Lakers.
He’s the only role player on the team other than Bazemore and Ariza who can guard bigger guards/wings. He prob has more to offer on offense than those 2 also.
@LakerFilmRoom
I bought tickets to this game because I wanted better seats at a less expensive game, and I wanted to see Trae Young.
The energy shift when Kobe walked in was one of the most special things I’ve ever seen. Still one of the best experiences in my life.
Only the Lakers, man 💜💛
Dwight comes off the bench. That’s that. Javale has earned that starting spot, and Dwight barely earned a roster spot.
I don’t wanna hear anything about a “position battle”. Period.
I can’t say enough about LeBron. This is just something we’ve never seen before.
The Lakers are where they’re at, but don’t get it twisted. LeBron has been insane every time he’s out there.
Shout out to Kyle Kuzma. Unsung hero tonight.
Timely shooting, and fantastic defense + effort all game. Kuz is really one of the most reliable guys on this team now
The Clippers may have traded their entire future draft capital for 1.5 healthy seasons of Paul George, and 2 (potentially) gimpy seasons from Kawhi Leonard.
Ballsy move.
@SamQuinnCBS
Duncan didn’t just lose to Kobe, he got his ass beat every time.
Only time the Spurs won, the Lakers were coming off 3 consecutive championships.
This was never a debate. The games are available for you to watch & educate yourself!
@kylekuzma
That award carries no weight. Half the guys in the Top 10 all time have like 1 or 2 MVPs 😂
Just a little something to make the media feel important
@PointForwardPro
Not a single person is gonna give you the answer you’re looking for, chief.
As soon as LBJ put that jersey on, he became one of our own.
The Lakers are bigger than any one player.
Kurt Rambis and Linda Rambis having any say in Lakers business is embarrassing and backwards.
They’re in the shadows too without any responsibility. So you have decision makers with no idea what the day to day actually looks like.
It’s as simple as this for me: the more shots Marcus Morris takes away from Paul George and the more shots Reggie Jackson takes away from Lou Will, the happier I am
Intuit Dome opening is a good thing for the SoCal community overall. Don’t have to be a Clippers fan to admit that.
Ballmer been doing good things in the LA community for a minute now. So great to have him here now rather than Sterling. Salute.
Lakers getting screwed out of the CP3 trade => League giving NOLA the 1st overall pick that year => Anthony Davis forcing his way out of NOLA anyways to come to the Lakers >>>>>>>>
If the Lakers surrounded LeBron and AD with Beverly, Green, and Zubac they’d be clowned by the whole league.
Flippers do it and it’s “such a good lineup” smh I’m sick 😷
@SportsCenter
@TimBontemps
Nice, so the Lakers are huge underdogs. Don’t wanna hear y’all complaining about all the help LeBron has, or how easy it is for the Lakers to get stars at ALL.
Y’all think we suck, so keep that same energy!
This dude Pat Bev does realize that talking shit on the Lakers is just universally not allowed in LA, right?
Accept the villain role, bruh. Stop crying when folks match your energy lol.

Kyle Kuzma's defensive development has been stunning. He went from a below average, to average, to a pretty damn good wing defender super quickly. This Lakers defense is goddamn suffocating, teams are going to go through hell to knock these boys out of the bubble.
Miami Heat 2010-2011
9-8 record through November 27th.
I get that we’re all pissed but let the Lakers get some rhythm before we bury them. This team remains insanely talented.
Let's not forget, this is what the Rockets wanted. This is what their fanbase, their players, and Daryl Morey wanted. They literally tanked seeding games to play the Lakers in the 2nd round.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Clippers benched Russ in the 4th Q. 0 minutes.
ESPN cameras have not shown him on the bench once, commentators have not brought it up at all.
Remember this. The media wants to instigate negative Lakers stories. They don’t cover other teams like they cover us.
Rewatching Game 4 of the 2000 Finals and this popped up on the NBC broadcast. Literally exactly what you were talking about on the podcast in terms of Robert Horry’s impact.

LA transplants can't use that "for now" BS. It was a Laker town when we 3peated and was a Laker town when we won 17 games. It's always a Laker town
