11 straight losses for the Wizards.

Still can’t believe we lost to these guys

1manadeal2btw | Nuggets

18 | 13 hours ago

Our lowest point of the season

Lol69HaHaHa | Nuggets

Our lowest point since Jamal and MPJ came back from injury.

Even game 6 and 7 against the Timberwolves werent that brutal.

i still think they’ve been playing better the past few weeks than they have the rest of the season but it’s not exactly a high bar

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

december was definitely our best month. sarr was shooting 40% from 3, we somehow upset the nuggets, we almost beat the knicks, we beat the hornets twice.

then someone made the call and we lost to the pels twice and never won again lol

I don’t think you realize how badly I want to see a Sarr/Flagg/Coulibaly front court just for the defense alone. Sarr is still raw in quite a few areas but that’s perfectly normal as a rookie, his upside is extremely high.

WalrusInMySheets | LAL

16 | 13 hours ago

Sarr is still raw in quite a few areas but that’s perfectly normal as a rookie, his upside is extremely high.

Yeah this is exactly what I’m trying to say. I didn’t see much of him the first time we played, but his defensive instincts are great and his lateral movement is some of the best in the NBA among centers. Drew Gooden was saying on the Wizard’s broadcast that once he gets a full NBA offseason to train and grow, he could easily be a star. And I agree.

Reaves dropping 32 on the Celtics without Bron and AD at the Garden last year was one of the very few highlights from last season.

_Juntao | Celtics

15 | 13 hours ago

Demolished? Every time the celtics and lakers play it ends up being a pretty good game. Plus the celtics have been at like .500 for a month now. And it’ll be the second night of a back to back. And lebron james is not gonna get demolished by the celtics.

Should be a good matchup

Unethical basketball failing i hope they miss 27 straight 3s

_Juntao | Celtics

5 | 12 hours ago

I don’t want to turn a wizards vs lakers post game thread into a celtics discussion thread. But long story short what u/awntawn said is right the 3s haven’t been falling as much lately and also the celtics have just been terrible in the second half, especially 4th quarters.

I know that it’s against the Wizards, but that was DFS’s best game as a Laker so far. He looked settled and it is promising for the future.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

13 | 13 hours ago

I thought DFS was easily your 3rd best player tonight

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

1 | 13 hours ago

I missed a portion of the game, but I thought that he was the 4th best behind Bron, AD and Reaves.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

4 | 13 hours ago

I thought reaves kinda had a stinker tonight ngl, when he wasn’t blatantly angling for fouls he just could not get anything to fall. even including the FTs his efficiency was pretty bad.

Wide_Savings5410

6 | 12 hours ago

His AST to TO ratio was solid. And although the shots didnt go in, I liked his shot diet. Definitely wasnt an ideal game from em, but def not a stinker either.

Ok_Possible_5702

3 | 12 hours ago

Reaves couldn’t hit a shot tonight - he had an Embiid-like stats line with 16 points and ⁷⁄₇ FT.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

jordan poole in his revenge game against the warriors: 38 points

kyle kuzma in his revenage game against the lakers: 12 points

how the fuck did you guys win a ring with this guy

WalrusInMySheets | LAL

32 | 13 hours ago

Is this his revenge game against the Lakers? We traded him 4 years ago.

We’re really stretching “revenge game” to it’s limit here. He averaged 25+ against us before this.

I mean players definitely are capable of holding grudges. Jimmy held a grudge against the Sixers, at least for a while

I mean poole was traded 2 years ago, I just wanted to make a comparison

Ayjel89

Poole doesn’t wanna go back to the Warriors and Kuzma wants to go back to the Lakers.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

7 | 13 hours ago

kuzma keeps shitting the bed when playing against teams he theoretically would want to go to, he was chumming with kings gm then laid an egg

mrspear1995 | Yacht Club

4 | 10 hours ago

Kuzma was the defensive stalwart that grabbed many rebounds that year, i don’t even think his corner 3 rate was good

He was definitely good for the lakers title run but was under appreciated because he was the ‘leftovers’ nobody traded for out of that dlo lonzo ingram hart young laker core

IMadeThisOn6-28-2015 | Lakers

How did the Wizards not score for 4 minutes? They were at 88 points with 4 minutes still left

If Bronny went coast to coast for a dunk off his steal this sub would explode lmao

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

DFS has finally arrived as a Laker. I like his competitive spirit and commitment to the process. DFS relishes in making sure a team stays under a 100 points. Dude’s a winner.

nerdyykidd | Celtics

Complete 180° turn for Justin Champagnie these last 2 weeks. His usage has fallen off a cliff.

What happened?

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

11 | 13 hours ago

what being forced to shop kuzma’s bum ass before the tradeline does to you. it’s fucking awful

BrickySanchez

4 | 12 hours ago

Wiz not trading Kuzma last year because they wanted multiple firsts and then being desperate to unload him for a half eaten bag of Lays this year should be taught in all NBA GM 101 classes.

DoubleTTB22 | Hornets

6 | 11 hours ago

Lebron is now the second player in NBA history to have a triple-double after turning 40. The only other player to do it was Karl Malone in 2003 while also playing for the Lakers.

Lebron only needs one more triple-double to have the record for most triple-doubles past 40. However, he will still need to come back next season to get the record for the oldest triple-double of all time, since Karl Malone was over 100 days older than him when he had his.

Emotional-Chef-7601

2 | 13 hours ago

Do the Wizards got an actual ph because why Kuzma tied for the most assists?

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

5 | 13 hours ago

no. poole is our “point guard” but he’s not a great passer. bub is a much better passer but he’s forced to play offball the entire game.

Emotional-Chef-7601

2 | 13 hours ago

Yikes. How not to win but raise the Poole stock. Now is the time to move him. He’s at max value.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

1 | 13 hours ago

we’re probably looking to but his contract is quite hefty and a hard fit

Emotional-Chef-7601

1 | 13 hours ago

That means at least one more year of tanking

HypeeMe_Up

4 | 13 hours ago

I love this Wizards young squad. Y’all will be okay once Kuz and Poole are off the team.

Coolguynumber01 | Warriors

5 | 12 hours ago

Poole has been good this season

HypeeMe_Up

2 | 13 hours ago

At this point the Mavs did the right thing by trading for PJ Washington rather than Kuzma. I don’t see Kuz being a okc kryptonite.

AsianMexi

1 | 13 hours ago

Honestly… the least hope I’ve ever had in the lakers. They just look so bad at times. I know the past two years were rough with Ham, but honestly I had more hope for the team then than now

I know this also isn’t the right thread to voice this, but I feel like the NBA as a whole is less competitive than it was last year (obviously excluding cavs ,okc, Houston and Boston.)

WalrusInMySheets | LAL

2 | an hour ago

Yeah I’ve given up. Don’t make any trades, idt Lavine or Kessler or somehow both are enough to get us into contender range.

AsianMexi

1 | 41 minutes ago

Haha I do think both would be extremely interesting and would actually get them into contender range. I just don’t think it’d be possible to acquire even one though
