1. Very weird behavior from Luka to not take that 3.

2. I can't wait for the offseason dialogue of "we have to build around Luka like the Mavs did" LMFAO
   Iso Luka is not the formula to consistent winning basketball. Yes, the roster surrounding him kinda sucks but when your superstar dogs it on defense, whines all game long and doesn't cut, screen or relocate when he doesn't have the ball

3. Not even win the first round

4. LeCancer told you Sli this team is f’n terrible . LeBron is 41 and can’t impact winning anymore , reeves is a bench role player. This summer Luka needs to be LeCancer free and reeves free and build around him

5. Sli you know who did that closing out for LeBron since 2019?
   1. Dwight with big physical rebounds
   2. Kcp with the 3&d
   3. Caruso with the D
   4. Kuzma pushing Bron into position
   AD. The entire defense

   ALL TRADED

6. This game just proves how disjointed this team is . No chemistry, socially broken , ego problem of LeCancer . Nobody said a word to each other in the timeout .. no leadership . LeBron doesn’t gaf.

   Finishing line : Luka , smart, Laravia, the best 3 pt shooter in the league , Ayton

   YOU WERE DOWN 1 AND YOU HAVE A 7 FOOTER WHO HAS A HIGH PERCENTAGE AROUND THE RIM

7. trade luka for giannis and ar giannis tandem and sign elite defender lou dort payton watson kessler they are free agent this summer

8. Lebum has never been a killer on the court.

9. Luka has lost his athleticism so he can’t get to his spots like he once could, so it causes him to hesitate. He couldn’t get enough separation so he passed it.

10. AR didn't even touch the ball. 8/24 and you want the guy to shoot the last shot? Missed 5 FT's in this game This guy is trash. Should have let AR take the last shot.

11. Why do you still put Smart as a starter. Scored 3 pts again. AR should take the last shot!

12. Im. a Luka fan but does he play winning basketball? I would still made that trade100 times over but All the whining and Crying he does on every single play my god it needs to stop!

13. Luka was pump faking because he was trying to foul bait again and it didn’t work. Luka doesn’t play to score he plays to get fouled

14. Didn’t look like JJ drew any play up like every other possession

15. I've come to my conclusion..JJ Redick is absolutely ass as a coach doesn't belong near this organization anymore. Haven't seen any offensive sets, hustle is not there and there is no identity to the team. I turn most games off these days after a couple of quarters as it's a hard ass watch.

16. JJ run some plays for LUKA LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

17. Nothing's going to change until Laker Fans BOO every time a LeFlop family member steps on the court . Those Celebrity Sniffers there will never do that – so enjoy the losing .

18. CELTICS KILLED LAKERS season… time for jennie buss to get boned

19. there's no resistance particularly in the middle everyone trying to be cute

20. Luka hesitatated cuz he so use to pump faking and never shooting off the catch. Its like a yip he has. He rather shoot when hes ready or off the dribble. Thats exactly why he hesitated

21. It is time to start tanking. We might be the Mavs of last year's draft, how ironic would that be?

22. The Lakers next 4 games is against the Suns(no Brooks or Booker), Warriors(no Curry), Kings and NO. They will be fine.

23. sliwa, what you need to understand is there is no combination thats successful right now. we started off great, yes. but once the league figured us out it was downhill from there. we have to many ball handlers, no 3 and D players. what else did you expect?

24. There use to be chemistry!

25. Lakers fans/Lakers media don't understand how they talk about and blame LeBron is going to play right into the hand of players not wanting to come to LA after this season. How y'all have treated LeBron since he came has been disgusting, Carmelo Anthony has talked about it on his podcast and how y'all protect Luca and Austin instead of holding them accountable. LeBron will leave and y'all are not getting players because of y'all as a fan base and Lakers media have treated the guy who saved yall franchise

26. Unefficient shooting night was in Luka´s head when he had that shot. No short memory in that moment.

27. Lebron should just leave this summer. Period. He has a chemistry issues, and cannot subdue his own ego.

28. We're spending yet another season talking about the lineups being all over the place I remember when darvin ham was the coach This was the same conversation we had! what's the real issue here?!

29. Luka already declining as if he’s in his mid 30s 😂

30. Why is everyone blaming Luka , when LeBron had a great chance of taking over this game, when it should have been out of rech.

31. 1 point down and you have Luka passing up the open three to give it to LeBron. Get the ball in the paint!!!! Play the percentages, this team has a problem…it’s called common sense!
    This whole drawing up a play for a three point shot when you’re down by one drives me nuts!

32. LeBron has as much of a chance of making that shot as I have in getting a date with Sydney Sweeney!

33. What is wrong with Luka? It is now the second time he avoided the buzzer beater potent shot.

34. You’re on point 💯%

35. Ayton dominated the first half and then the lakers went away from him. Ayton was calling for the ball down low when he had one on ones in the third n fourth but they stopped going to him. Biggest mistake of the game imo.

36. I look forward to watching post-LeBron Lakers. Sli and the rest of Lakers fans pushing Bron out the door will get what they yearn for, and I cannot WAIT for a Luka-Austin led Lakers team to get nowhere near sniffing the Finals in Wemby, Shai, Ant & Jokic's western conference.

37. 2022-23 lakers beat this team by 30

38. I think the main problem is LeBron is a terrible shooter and plays no defense. Imagine if LeBron was good at anything. It would change everything.
