Stop it. We already won one ring.

Hopefully they learn from that and just play straight up. No need to play the foul game when the other team isn’t going to make their shots anyway.

Much-needed win, though they made it so so harder than it needed to be.

Lakers lose tonight without that crazy 3 by Monk to end the 3rd quarter. I'll take it!

I was watching on mute, but did the Lakers really get that many techs during that one LaMelo FT trip?

The Lakers have to have more composure than that.

I'm so glad we won, but this was a bad win if there's such a thing.

When Westbrook came back in the 4th quarter, we increased our lead, then he started turning the ball over and we lost our lead.

When Westbrook is our only decision-maker out there, it's such a mixed bag. I see him often trying to be under control and turn down some quick shots, but he makes those impulsive passes that look like a good idea but bad execution.

This shows us how much we're missing Lebron's leadership and IQ. Westbrook brings several good things to the table, but when he starts getting impulsive, LeBron can take the ball out of his hands and restore order.

I shudder to think what our record would be if we wouldn't have had Carmelo Anthony.

AD with the long range contested jumpers, game on the line, are disheartening to watch.

It's annoying, and I would be okay with it if we try something else and then last seconds of possession you go for that when option A fails, but to set up for a AD long two contested fadeaway is terrible offense.


Good that we escape with the win, now let's focus on the next game

Lakers win 126-123 in OT

Melo came up huge, 29 points, 7-10 from 3.

AD had a solid all around game.

Russ almost cost the game in the 4th by broiling over, and turning the ball over.

Rondo was playing really solid, was a big reason the team, down by about 8 at one point, jumped back in front by running the offense efficiently.

At this point a win is a win, but...this squad minus LBJ, THT, Nunn etc...just isnt good.

So glad NBA has new rules preventing stupid fool calls on shooters or melo probably would've been whistled on that last possession.

We shot ourselves in the foot with the Rondo ejection and the tech extravaganza. Russ also went full Russ when we were up double digits and pushing to close them. Oh well, every game is a lesson for this team.

Davis is 11/15 inside the paint, and 2/10 outside it, so of course Vogel had to draw up plays for him outside the paint
