If AD leaving in the 1st quarter. He won’t be available tomorrow night. Siakam may have his way.


I’m surprised that the flu hasn’t hit the team harder.

But, I knew that when you needed those guys, and the team isn't playing "team" ball like they used to...that would be a problem. Here it is.

With AD and Wenyen being out for an unknown amount of time, you're going to need the role players to step up. It's on Ham to put them in a position to strp up. If it's going to be a LeBron/Russ show...


Props to Bryant. Glad to see Damion showing life. And, stop giving Pat Bev minutes that can be given to someone else, like JTA or Christie. Lakers!


imagine if they had Myles Turner out there instead with Bryant coming in as backup.


Bryant looked good

Outside of Russ…our guards are terrible passers

We only have 2 play makers in this team, Russ and Bron, both all time great passers and should be good enough. However, that’s another reason why trading Russ might be dangerous. (For those who thinks Reaves can make up the difference, I don’t know what to tell you)


Reaves is a good playmaker, when given the ball and opportunity. That has significantly diminished over the last few games, and I stated as such. Not sure why you would pick out the one subpar game, as evidence of Reaves being lacking...

I never said he is a bad player, just not the same passer Russ and Lebron are, if we trade Russ, our playmaking will be an issue.


The question shouldn't be if we should trade Russ. I believe we should keep him. And, I'm not trying to compare Reaves to either LeBron or Russ. Those guys are established veteran stars. Reaves is in his second year.

We have enough playmaking, with Russ, LeBron, Schroder, Lonnie, and Reaves. Of course, some of those guys are better than others. Down the stretch, the offense got disjointed, and stagnant, with players trying to force ill advised passes. That's to be expected when the cog of your offense disappears. And, LeBron can's single-handedly dominate teams anymore.

It'll be up to Ham to make the proper adjustments going forward. But, as much as I like him, this guy continues to play Bev. So, I'm a little skeptical.

if AD doesn’t play it has to be a team effort, what’s unfortunate is that the road trip is in the east coast so the flu might have hit AD hard

Per Trudell

Darvin Ham said Anthony Davis had a 101-degree fever. He tried to push through his illness, but left after 8 minutes.

The Lakers head straight to Toronto for the second of a B2B; we’ll get an update on AD’s status tomorrow.

Per Woike

Lakers say it's non-COVID illness for Anthony Davis.

Downside of the night, AD is sick.
Upside of the night, Thomas Bryant proves why he deserves more minutes.

he did but he is not the rim protector that Myles Turner is.

thats why i said imagine if Turner was there to take over for AD for this game with Bryant coming off the bench instead

Was hoping we could squeak out a W without our MVP candidate but apparently that was asking for too much.

This game shows the lack of size at guard line-ups... Lebron is no longer the guy when it comes to carrying a bad roster.

At this point everyone knows what the team needs and what needs to be done.

Really don't like the Schro/Bev/Walker starting guard line-up.

Schro/Bev guard combo just don't score enough. Specially in a guard driven league right now.

We was there until Mitchell went off in the 4th... Roster is just too unbalanced out there specially without AD.

Really missed your posts man. Good to see your return to LG 🙏🏀🙏🏀🙏

I’m not worried about Cleveland and their fans. Those people and that city suffered enough and tbh there’s no real animosity coming from them once Lebron decided to join the Lakers.

They got their one chip from him already and tbh I’ll root for the Cavs, Bucks, Heat, and hell even the 76ers and their toxic fans to hopefully beat the boston celdicks.

Unless LeBron is having an explosive shooting night, that's going to be hard for him. Mitchell is a better scorer than the current LeBron.


Crunch time, one of the max gotta come thru, AD or not, and none of that iso fade aways

I really don’t want to see what Twitter and LG looks like if we lose tomorrow against the Raptors, hopefully the Lakers come out and take care of business against a team that really hasn’t really been consistent

Please abbreviate LGSRS I keep forgetting lol
I know the meaning just forget the specifics lol

The Lakers continue to be the most popular team of all sports.I Don’t blame Allen for chasing some attention to his growth.

His play today makes me wish we had Javale still over Damian Jones. Not saying their on the same level atm , he just reminds me a lot of Javale lol

Stop judging our old players by their contract, judge them by their age. Lebron and Russ aren’t spring chickens anymore. Father Time doesn’t care how much you’re being paid.

Bad. It’s amazing he is even allowed to do it. If a player did it back to him after picking his pocket or swatting him it would be an automatic T.

This is funny. But both guys have to be held to their contract or at least that’s what’s been said since we got Russ.

Cavs beat us in la too. If we don’t come home from trip with winning record the excitement was fools gold
