Harden is probably getting a game off vs Chicago, but this was the more important game to win due to seeding implications. With Kawhi out as well, Ty might have to get creative with his lineups for tomorrow’s game.

Insufferable-Asshat | Rockets

Watching this game one thing was clear to me, they need a point guard badly lol. Unironically Harden would have been perfect for LAL

harden-back | LAC

29 | 3 days ago

Harden would be a great add for a lot of teams. I think in a few years he could be a really good bench point guard for a contender, when he’s more willing to come off the bench and play limited minutes but continue playmaking and scoring at a high level. Obviously this year he’s showing he still has it, but when he’s rested off 2-3 games you see Houston harden but on b2b he tends to be more inconsistent

TruWarierRecords | CHI

Honestly if I was San Antonio I’d be willing to give him the 2 year Van-Vleet overpay in free agency. An all time floor raiser and can still be a solid 2nd option.

CP3 is a great connector for them but Hardens scoring ability + a large contract makes him an expiring trade chip with picks for when a younger star is available.

longshots21 | NBA

37 | 3 days ago

also don’t mention to the fans, that the collective winning percentage of the teams they have beaten was around 41%.

(This includes 3 wins during that stretch that cost SAC coach)

Lakers have only ¹⁄₂ quality wins against the top tier teams. ( They beat Grizzlies and Suns game 2 of the season)

There were wins against the Wolves/Warriors and other teams above .500. But really, the Wolves were dealing with forming a new rhythm with Randle and the warriors on X-mas was the warriors having their implosion stretch as well.

Lakers beat Miami during the Butler mess and I am not sure if you consider the Hawks top-tier.

Lakers just beating up the bottom half of the league or struggling teams.

Chessh2036 | Hawks

I love the Hawks but we aren’t Top Tier. We’re Mid-Tier. Always and forever mid. Perfectly balanced.

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

5 | 3 days ago

None of this matters. Fans dont like to admit, but a 70 point win counts the same as a 1 point win.

A 22-18 record with four wins over the Kings is the same as 22-18 with 3 losses to them.

All that matters is being a top six team, and the lakers have the 15th most difficult strength of schedule left, putting them firmly in the middle.

The win against grizzlies was with half of the team in the hospital.

My fault here. I did not realized the Lakers won 2 games (1st win was the grizz injury plagued team)

On the 2nd win, The Lakers beat a Grizz team that had won 10 of 11 (with a grizzly win over the celtics) That team Ja Morant came back and their normal squad played.

CrackheadCreampie

majority of their wins been vs. below 0.500 teams while having one of the worst records vs. above 0.500 teams

they are not good as their 22-18 record implies

Ok_Possible_5702

30 | 3 days ago

Bron is too old to jump for any offensive rebound, and the other players are either not athletic enough (AR, Vincent) or not really smart enough to think about where the rebound is gonna go (Rui, Christie).

The comeback was sparked by DFS, who for unclear reasons did not start in place of Christie.

Basically this leaves only AD to do offensive rebounding, but that’s not easy vs. Zu, likely the most underrated center in the league.

Op3rat0rr | Lakers

9 | 3 days ago

Right. All of our money is in AD and LeBron. As you said LeBron is quite old now so it’s understandable. We know what we signed up for. But we’re basically a barely over .500 team right now and you’ll see games like this at times. We don’t have enough talent to consistently play well. We got our chip in 2020 and that’s good enough for me

Imkitoto | Lakers

28 | 3 days ago

Because there is no repercussions to our top two guys when they don’t so no one else is going to do it.

AD was just walking around this game Lebron is old as hell so at least that’s a sort of excuse but no one is going to try when your top two dont

You guys got Anthony Davass today.

The guy plays like he’s 65 years old a the top of the key, honestly he’s so scared of physicality some games it really makes me question his desire to win.

Slow footed, settling for shit shots, not getting into his offence fast enough. Expecting the team to do everything around him.

Some days he looks like a mould of prime Tim Duncan and KG.

I’m really hoping Kawhi only playing around 30 games this season will allow him to get into peak form while being able to hold up for the playoffs.

Last year he was peaking around 30 games and ended up playing over 65 games. If this season can go as last season did, then we’d have a healthy Kawhi for the playoffs.

But his knee is just so unpredictable.

Thought this was going to be the usual close finish for a Clippers-Lakers game, especially when Kawhi checked out for good. Great game from Zu and he was huge in closing it out.

will Lakers fans finally realize they need an actual C over a new guard. everyone is Jokic against this Lakers team from Zubac to Sabonis or any big.

This didn’t look close until the 3rd. But the Clippers were able to pull away.

Kawhi only played 24 min and was 9-13 with 4 assists. If he played more…it wouldn’t have ever gotten close again…

I’m not sure the Clippers have a better record against one opponent since 2014 than they have against the Lakers. Every season no matter what the rosters look like it’s total domination. Most one sided rivalry in the NBA for 10 straight years.

I’m fucking scared of the Clippers in the playoffs man. If Kawhi’s healthy, him and James could take em far. I could see them in the finals with a healthy roster

Didn’t Kawhi but saw them play the Rockets in Houston a month or so back. It’s true the Rockets just outpace them and with their wings make it hard on both ends of the floor.

People make a big deal about the Clippers making moves post PG, but the core of it was just retaining Harden and realizing the potential for Powell. And Zubac continuing his great work.

Without Kawhi Lakers and Clippers might be dead even which I guess explains why they’re so close in the standings

Double Center works in small doses so get Vucevic from the bulls or a center that can shoot. Lebron was tired, Ad was bricking and AR was guarded. At least Knecht got 2 threes.

How on earth do the Clippers have a better record than the Lakers?

TheRealPizvo

2 | 2 days ago

They are a better constructed and better coached team, now also with better facilities. The question you should be asking is how did the Lakers manage to get so many wins considering how flawed their team and game plan are.

The Los Angeles Clippers (24-17) defeat the Los Angeles Lakers (22-18), 116-102.
