Ahhhhh, the Deandre Ayton Experience.

No dawg in him

Lakers just committed rebounding and defensive terrorism, no thanks to Ayton.

To be fair offensive rebounding is our shit

2 is vile tho 

Huh. If only there were warning signs that he would be a lazy player..

Bizarre player. Doesn’t even get a hand up to contest shots right in front of him

Lakers fans told me the Lakers Culture was just different though??

That’s who he is and always been. He’s an unserious player.

He scored a put back 2 FOR the rockets as well

Is literally anyone surprised? Did ppl delude themselves into thinking he’d even attempt to be physical?

Bruh that’s Ayton

Luka leads the team with 5 whole rebounds

Somebody tell JJ Reddit he should spend less time shitting on Bob Cousy and more time coaching defense.

And only 11 free throws. I did enjoy that they let them play, but I feel like the Lakers could have received more by staying on the attack throughout the game. Seemed like once the refs started holding their whistles both ways they stopped attacking while the Rockets kept the pressure up.

I’ve seen Joker do that

Wilt AVERAGED 25 rebounds one season…

Can’t let the Hawks and Thunders get a good lotto pick

I don’t understand the shit either bro, lol.

What having no true PG does to a mf

Oh boy just wait until they play us!

(It’ll be a 20 point blowout, just who knows which team will be on top lol)

Tbf they just got Finney-Smith and Eason back.  They’ll probably be a bit better going forward just because of that.

When the best defender is either super old LeBron or semi-washed Smart, this happened.

Fraud watch

They’re garbage.

The only difference between them and the Warriors is they have won 10 games in clutch with no losses while the Warriors have lost 10, won 6.

Their record will do down to where the Suns and Warriors are. 

Bailed out by refs in clutch games perhaps.

Let some lakers fans tell it, you’re a doomer and it’s only dec if you say the obvious!

They look gassed after 20 games.

/r/nba ¹²⁄₂₅

Knicks won tho 

-34 combined

is Lebron putting this Christmas loss in his documentary

Was watching this Wizards fan on TikTok who is running a lap for every point the Wizards lose by. Thought it might be fun to do for the Lakers. It’s no longer fun

There so terrible in transition, if you get a lead they any time they score they don’t get back fast enough to stop you 90% of the time so it’s basically impossible for them to go on any sort of run to cut into the lead. They lack players with any kind of athleticism. 41 year old LeBron is legit their fastest player and he can’t play fast all game

The actual answer is that they win those lol

Defense. If their offense can’t keep up, you can bet on it to get ugly

because they have the most clutch superstar on their team so any close game becomes a win

What if they traded for Anthony Davis

What’s the point of throwing shots when your defense is a house of cards.

Edit: I mean the lakers, rockets have a great defense.

JJ Redick and Lebron hated on Barkley for speaking the truth

I was hoping for a banger, that shit was boring AF to watch.

17 offensive rebounds to 5. That’s like 12 extra possessions right there. Hard to come back from that.

For JJ, Luka or Ayton?

They need a stopper like Russ

In competition with the nuggets.

Tari was everywhere. He’s a joy to watch

Even with his BBIQ shortcomings, he’s always such a joy to watch. I want him in Houston forever.

His contract extension is going to be quite the dilemma for the Rockets and other teams. If he is playing at his best, he’s easily worth \(25M if not \)30M. He’s already an impactful player and you can see signs that he can be even better.

But with his injury history, he could become an albatross contract for a team for years if he doesn’t stay healthy.

AR or LBJ should take turns playing off the bench

One playoff win last year. And this sub was crowning them contenders.

Luka alone is never winning shit, fat Harden 2.0

He deserves better

Just you wait, the next team he plays for he’s going to start trying.

He’ll stick around if it was a big game that they won, but win or lose he’s usually gone the second that buzzer sounds. Not too long ago he did it during a win and people were calling him a bad sport.

Does this every game

LeBadSportsmanship

on christmas even

It’s late he’s got Murder She Wrote reruns to watch

So nice watching him not give a flying fuck in a different jersey.

When he watches other people rebound instead of trying himself is the worst part.

Luka was their top rebounder today.

Sengun does this too and I fucking hate it

He averages 4 for his career. For reference Harden averages 3.7, Shai averages 2.3, and LeBron averages 3.5

Some of his lazy three pointers are basically turnovers too

Hilarious cause he was the Lakers best or 2nd best player tonight 😂 team is straight bbq chicken

And with old ass LeBron and DominAyton protecting the paint

We’re still doing the “Make a wish kid” narrative with him?

Not mine :)

The Mavericks let Texas down this Christmas

Submissayton

But he’s better than Jaxson Hayes!

They got him for cheap!

It’s just one game!

I think that covers most of the responses you’ll get.

Incarcerayton

They should bruh, Lakers don’t deserve Luka

Maybe he’s going get gifted Giannis this year.

To get waived and go win the chip with the Spurs yeah

He played fine just FYI if you didn’t actually watch

Def going out with a retirement tour
