Lakers fading in the 4th against a Mavs team that doesn't have a lot going for it. Still 10 mins left in the game but honestly, it looks like the Lakers just collectively stop trying. Its weird.

Common pattern with L.A. this season, they lose focus and go on long runs of turning the ball over and stagnating on offense. Has cost them so many games. They go zombie brain.

That was a sick come back though, Rui, Smart and LeBron went matrix. Lakers also played solid defense in the fourth, great first quarter by Luka.

Ayton is hopeless at generating alley opp opportunities, lakers would be so much better of they had a decent centre with Luka / LeBron.

Yea, its not a good sign. They trailed the Mavs by 14 with 8 minutes to go and needed last second heroics to beat a team that's been decimated by trades and injuries. As far as Ayton, everybody knew he was "soft" coming into this its just some L.A. fans that didn't want to hear it.

They lead most of the game, and it was an impressive come back.

Ive been more impressed with their play lately, they just need to trade 2-3 guys and get Austin back and they could be top 3 in the west.

Heat have to play 4 games in 5 days coming up. This is why we kneel.

Murray couldn’t handle the double team in the second half, he should have tried to draw more fouls.

Nuggets went freakishly hot from 3 in the first half, then missed a ton in the second.

That through the legs dunk by Hayes was epic!!



Luka is back.. 46 7 11.

Jeff Teague is such a moron (as is every dummy on his podcast) saying the lakers aren’t fun. Good or bad they’re easily one the most entertaining teams out there.
