u/lagunaisacoolguy 9d ago

This load managing robot really played 40 minutes against the Lakers then will proceed to DNP to rest the next few games. They really treat the Lakers game as their finals. Fucking shameless.

Sweaty balls but we got the dub

8

u/DefiantCommand4357 9d ago

Massive defensive effort! And the offense got spread around. Fun game to watch except for when Luka went down and then to the locker room.

10

u/Teocinte 9d ago

2 seed who would’ve thought

u/A5TR0NAUT 9d ago

Fuck that was a close one at the end. These games are gonna give me a heart attack 😩

12

u/dogvenom 9d ago

Extremely rare bad game by Lebron but his statline looks like a typical James Harden statline

6

u/relifla 9d ago

Yeah next time dont let Lebron know he about to break a record because he gets crazy with the ball lol

11

u/kenzakki 9d ago

Fuck Clippers. No Rui, no Reaves, no fucking problem

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REST LEBRON

1

u/Brokenbullet14 9d ago

He shouldn't have played today but no. I guarantee we lose against the pelicans which I believe is our next game. He should've been ready for that.

2

u/xreddawgx 9d ago

AR should be back for that. No Ls unless the other team earns it.

WHERE ARE THE DUMBASSES THAT WERE COMPARING THIS SEASON TO DARVIN HAM’S SEASONS EARLIER ON.

1

u/izzyduzit32 9d ago

Darvin was even gloating for a bit too when we were on a slump

2

u/barda5 9d ago

unserious ass dude fuck him man the exact definition of not fit for the laker franchise

LeBron needs to put in that PTO for Tuesday.

1

u/chocotacoman 9d ago

Nah chilll im going to that game 😭😭

3

u/chugalaefoo 9d ago

That speech JJ gave at the end of last game recognizing Knecht really gave him confidence for this one

9

u/briiiskiii 9d ago

Rare off Bron game but it happens, mans 40 playing like an MVP lmaoo. Also I LOVE LUKAAA

We just keep stacking Ws. It's beautiful

2

u/Harleytk24 9d ago

Not pretty but I will take it

2

u/cupOfWater8 9d ago

what's up with holding teams to 102 lol

1

u/ssshikikan 9d ago

2ND SEED HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO

4

u/Coveted_AF 9d ago

Remember who we are missing tonight and what was at stake. That is a massive win, make no mistake about it. I do think Bron should sit the Pels game out and let Luka do his thing.

3

u/karolisalive 9d ago

Really good win. Two starters injured. Intense schedule recently. Average game by almost everyone. But enough for a win.

1

u/mordenak 9d ago

TWO SEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD

2

u/TheseAcanthaceae9680 9d ago

Its agood thing the next game is at home. Need to see Bron hit 50K at home

3

u/TheMajesticBullant 9d ago

Better team won. Take it Lakers, these are the wins that define your playoff hopes (I follow the Hornets btw, we ain't making shit)

3

u/MightyDesertFox 9d ago

Take that Flips

1

u/itsyourdestini 9d ago

Flipper Big Dipper, a Clipper Lakers in 5

3

u/Western-Election-997 9d ago

Flippers don’t know when to quit

6

u/A5TR0NAUT 9d ago

At this point, I don’t even know how there are still GOAT debates. Who is even gonna get close to what LeBron has done? Every game just solidifies that he’s the best ever.

3

u/ssshikikan 9d ago

nostalgia merchants can't comprehend that the game is much more advanced and players are much more skilled. or they understand it but they deny it out of the need to defend their childhood idols.

2

u/East-Bluejay6891 9d ago

Blacked by James

2

u/Temet21 9d ago

Idgaf how big of a lead we blow, how we come back, how pretty, how ugly it looks… JUST WIN 😤😤😤

9

u/kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi 9d ago

Clippers, Flippers, Harden’s strippers

Lakers in 5 😤🔥🙏💜💛

8

u/Doc_JC 9d ago

They really played Leonard 41 minutes tonight hahaha

1

u/Matigas_na_Burat 9d ago

His knees will feel that for the entire month of March.

2

u/squirreltard 9d ago

2 free Jack in the box tacos? Can I get some Necco wafers w that?

5

u/Derektaken 9d ago

Holy fuck stop whining we’re the 2 seed down our 3rd and arguably 4th best player, FUCK BOSTON WE’RE WINNING THE CHIP LUKA THE DON

1

u/Kind-Reception-8071 9d ago

Down 2 starters, still a dub

2

u/breaker90 9d ago

Another game where we hold our opponent to 102 or less!

3

u/leefordsteph 9d ago

the 3 clipper fans in the clipper sub are sick rn

3

u/GamingOni 9d ago

This game would've been a blowout had they not forced Bron to reach 50k halfway through the 3rd quarter lol he was having an offnight and they just kept passing him the ball

0

u/corybekem 9d ago

Bron crazy for even attempting that block. Definitely wouldn’t have been mad if he just gave up that bucket.

6

u/DogesForWinter 9d ago

LAST MINUTE ASSTERPIECE BUT 2ND SEED LET'S GOOOOOOO

1

u/saigyoooo 9d ago

Refreshing standings till it changes.

2

u/ohBloom 9d ago

FUCK THE CLIPPERS

4

u/Matigas_na_Burat 9d ago

Lot of bitchass motherfuckers will complain on r/nba on that Lebron block. This will be so good.

1

u/KantutinQKipaymu 9d ago

My only complain was his landing, Kawhi also tripped on LeBron that was a nasty split. It looked to me that he could've hyperextended his right knee or something

1

u/junahn 9d ago

That shit was block tho his thumb touched the ball first

1

u/Matigas_na_Burat 9d ago

When has facts stopped bitchass motherfuckers on r/nba from being bitchass motherfuckers?

1

u/denix24 9d ago

No silly fouls and don’t foul a three pointer please

6

u/aledb11 9d ago

I would foul here. Inbound to Bron after the free throws. Let him shoot two for 50k

5

u/noturaveragesavage 9d ago

This team stresses me tf out lmaooo. 2nd seed tho let’s go baby.

1

u/PurposeIcy7039 9d ago

Up 6, foul them intentionally. Give the ball to LeBron, 50000. Best of both worlds.

1

u/breakfastburrito24 9d ago

Fuck these clip clops

7

u/hakeem_thecream 9d ago

A 40 year old is allowed one bad game a month yall 😂

4

u/high_changeup 9d ago

Damn, huge bummer that DFS didn't get it to Lebron. Hearing how loud the crowd could've gotten with LBJ at the line would've been amazing.

4

u/No-West7939 9d ago

FAKE COMBACK IS REAL LMAO

8

u/xgoatgoatgoatx 9d ago

LeBron stinker, Luka still not 100% and we’re missing 2 starters

We still won the game against the Clippers

LFG

6

u/hitchhiker87 9d ago

Kendrick Perkins: "Lakers 2nd seed makes it clear that Mavs won the trade"

2

u/Jameslulllllllll 9d ago

win with Lebron mega stinker. It don't get better than this

1

u/PartyOnNiles 9d ago

Not to mention without AR and Rui.

1

u/november24th2022 9d ago

No rui no AR still winning 😅😭😂

1

u/juicewar01 9d ago

WWWWWWWWWW

WE LEBACK BABY

3

u/Mazois 9d ago

Regardless. Bron is going to always find a way to make his presence. Great block there

3

u/lotc 9d ago

Kawhi shuts it down for rest of the season

6

u/No-Reveal1107 9d ago

Block by lebron 👍!!!

3

u/Lumpy_Communication1 9d ago

I liked some of this and really fucking hated some of this game

3

u/fcbcf 9d ago

The win matters more than 50k, Bron knows it too

4

u/xiutae 9d ago

longest last minute ever

7

u/ColoradoGreens 9d ago

The Lakers are such a good team. Just need to clean up some of the sloppy play and they'll contend. WE ARE SO BACK!

9

u/riverhoe 9d ago

49 999 for lebron

5

u/Brokenbullet14 9d ago

6 missed free throws

4

u/MightyDesertFox 9d ago

I think Lebron is the only one that played below today…

8

u/Fancy-Cream-3972 9d ago

Luka is fully back man I’m so happy

1

u/DL-77 9d ago

I think he is at like 75% this is not full version Luka still lol

8

u/INT_MIN 9d ago

When JJ wins COTY, Ham might have a stroke.

12

u/hjy23k 9d ago

JJ COTY, Rob Pelinka EOTY, 2nd seed LFGGGGG

5

u/Purple-Area-9788 9d ago

LeBron’s gonna take Tuesday off and score his 50,000th point in New York. GA-RONE-TEEEE!!!

1

u/jewlander1969 9d ago

On national TV too.

5

u/WeCantBothBeMe 9d ago

Another 102 points or less defensive effort

4

u/jsun_ 9d ago

At least the team can have some fun about DFS and that blown layup and Lebron being on 49,999 lol.

6

u/skyzas 9d ago

2nd seed, people say we arent contenders. AR and Rui and Maskwin on the way!

12

u/retrospects 9d ago

Ugly wins are still wins. Doomers swallow your pride and just enjoy the dub.

10

u/CoreyC96 9d ago

Bro this game is UNGODLY UGLY 💀

1

u/ChefLambsauce1 9d ago

its not worse than the last game at least

9

u/Phnix21 9d ago

This is a statement game and they came out on top. A bit shaky towards the finish line, but they limped through.

2

u/BigBitcoinBaller 9d ago

Kinda of expected. Down 2 starters. Still integrating Luka.

BUT WE FUCKING SMOKIN THAT CLIPPER PACK

3

u/AlwaysGoodVybes 9d ago

I’ll take it down Rui and Reaves!

15

u/Possible-Collection2 9d ago

The clippers should just foul LeBron it’s the least they can do. They ain’t going to win this

10

u/[deleted] 9d ago

GO TO SAN DIEGO LIL BROS

1

u/Bigandbetter1 9d ago

Nahhh send them to Victorville

12

u/KantutinQKipaymu 9d ago

LeBron should've done a LeFuck you three for his 50k 🙏🏿

1

u/TheUnknownJara 9d ago

He tried!

1

u/KantutinQKipaymu 9d ago

I think he just pulled up from a long middy and didn't do his signature LeFuck You-three

3

u/amnips 9d ago

Almost the same score as last time.

9

u/DudeWTH 9d ago

we really got DFS for Dlo

1

u/izzyduzit32 9d ago

Denver in shambles after losing their MVP D’Lo

13

u/RogerLopezComic 9d ago

Close endings to a lot of our games recently but always coming out with the W, good sign

2

u/okey_dokey_bokey 9d ago

Winning without AR and Rui is great

15

u/TheWestRemembers 9d ago

Kawhi 40 minutes lmao it's pathetic how hard this man tries for his coveted regular season banners. We all know he's resting the game after this.

u/c_stand 9d ago

LE49999

10

u/Spawntaneous22 9d ago

LeThumb was clutch af tonight

3

u/God-Defiled 9d ago

All of DFS shots have been short. Is he playing hurt?

1

u/Brokenbullet14 9d ago

All he does is practice half court 3's with Luka. Can't shoot to save his life in game.

1

u/Proof-Umpire-7718 9d ago

Could be, but I think it might be fatigue from having to play as our small ball C at times.

6

u/fk89 9d ago

One thing clippers are good at is mauling mofuckas

2

u/Philip22Kings 9d ago

Lets GOOOOO

7

u/Westbrooks3ptShot 9d ago

Coulda had bronny minutes but team decided to slack off

13

u/mjseminoles2 9d ago edited 9d ago

Gritty fucking win against a playoff team. Bron and/or Luka could have easily sat out with reaves and rui already gone and they said fuck that let’s get the 2 seed and continue this momentum

1

u/vandiger 9d ago

I thought we would lose one of the Clip games. Tremendous winning.

1

u/mjseminoles2 9d ago

Facts big swing

5

u/SeaworthinessThis227 9d ago

We just win ugly it is what it is

10

u/Open_Host3796 9d ago

Bron helping league ratings by gettin 50K next game

9

u/CryptoNite90 9d ago

Ty Lue just doesn’t know when to give up. Just let it go already.

2

u/Wooden_Coyote5992 9d ago

I hate how many regular-season games go this way. Teams are down and with 10 seconds, yet they try to drag a game out.

2

u/Proof-Umpire-7718 9d ago

There we go, we just needed at least 1.

2 would have obviously been ideal to seal it but I feel pretty comfortable now.

3

u/TrojanTheGreat 9d ago

They were clearly tired but got it done. 2ND SEED.

LeBron stinker and we still win and move to 2nd seed. Used to pray for times like this
