    Incompetent ownership including the GM and head coach reflects on the team composition and the way the players play.

    Ime tinkering with the starting lineup just before the playoffs will be his downfall.

    Never change what works. 100% Lakers are going to continue to do that. I hope none of y'all get upset tonight.

    I’m expecting a win tonight

    Lakers are struggling to score over 100 points despite shooting 53% from the field and 49% from deep the 1st 2 games

    meanwhile, the Rockets have shot 39% from the field and 29% from deep the 1st 2 games

    something’s gotta change now that we’re at home

    I see your point, but screw that. If the Rockets win, I am happy. I don't care how they do it.

    KD sitting these next 2 games with a sprain is the best Stone & Ime could hope for. "Wasn't our year." Basically this year never happened and they got paid for a whole lot of nothing.

    All I said was that the Lakers would live with open threes from Amen and provided a real life playoff example of them doing it before. FYI, Amen shot 21.8% on his wide open threes during the regular season.

    Lol you sound like such a bish. Your dumbass cult hero went to war with Iran in the name of Israel and now the entire economy has been destroyed. Gas prices exploding, electricity bills through the roof, 25 million Americans getting kicked off health insurance, job market negative.

    It's sincerely hilarious how you dumbass keep pretending yalls cult hero hasn't destroyed the economy

    Be careful the Yankees are also in town so you'll have to deal with the biggest douchebags in the country all in one place
