The Lakers (23-13) have the same net rating as the Hornets (14-25) (-0.4)
Also net rating aside they have the exact same offensive and defensive rating. These teams are exact 1:1s on all rating stats.

The Hornets who dog walked the defending champs and MVP at home?
Those buzz buzz Hornets?
Just won by 55 points the other day too lol
Jesus wasn’t it yesterday?
Yeah, maybe the hornets are on a bit of a successful mid season turnaround
Not if they can’t stop losing games in the last 5 seconds
We either win by 50 or lose on a buzzer beater, there’s no in-between.
There’s a joke in here somewhere with a team called the Hornets and Buzzer Beaters.
Only Buzzer Beaters beat the Buzz.
what’s scary terry up too?
The reverse lakers
Buzz Buzz Mfer
Pretty sure there weren’t any games between the defending Champs and the Hornets in the past week.
No sir, nah uh.
My first thought
Version 192 of this fun fact.
Damn I thought it was version 892,547
Do you want to post free throw differential tomorrow or shall I? ESPN only talks about the lakers btw
I posted this one cause the offensive and defensive ratings are also the exact same which is kinda odd
Might have something to do with them smashing the Jazz and Thunder recently
Nah I choose to believe the Hornets are just as good a team with LeBron James and Luka Doncic, thank you very much
The game last night improved net rating by like 1.5 lol
You can always count on a daily Lakers net rating post
Anybody have an update on their free throw differential?
You’ll get updates whenever it serves the agenda best
See you in Valhalla or something.
Shockingly yes, they’re actually only tied for 1st in the league now, they’re really falling off.
yea still 1st for 4th straight year
Not even true lol they’re 2nd right now
Spurs are first right
yes. although Spurs and Lakers both have +4.8, so they’re roughly tied
as a side note the next-highest team is the Magic with +2.9, and Bucks are lowest with -4.9
From what I can see, though I don’t have a StatMuse subscription so 5 teams are omitted and idk where those teams fit in
So you’re just lying online for no reason other than because you’re pathetic?
they’re tied for 1st numbnuts stop being so sensitive
Nice edit kid. Btw when people call you out for lying, calling them sensitive makes you look even more pathetic ;)
Nuh uh, this sub hates the number of Lakers posts!
Here’s the 145th time Net rating of the Lakers has been brought up
I think it’s just so shocking to people how lucky they have been this year.
There’s nothing lucky about it we beat bad teams and get blown out by good teams because we’re mid lol
Is consistently doing the same thing luck?
What does this have to do with luck?
They win clutch games and get blown out too lol
Refs win this games
This isn’t the own you think it is. The Hornets have the highest ceiling in nba history.
now you make me wonder which nba arena has literally the highest ceiling
LMFAOOO
Discussions of the Lakers net rating are exciting and new! Thanks for bringing up their low net rating compared to some random team/average/arbitrary standard! This topic has definitely not been played out enough yet.
Fans “Why does the media focus on the lakers??”
Also Fans:
R/LakersNetRating
Hornets are the better team tbh
This sub will find a stat and absolutely pulverize it into the ground
Are the grizzlies better without Ja Morant has come full circle this season
I feel like Lamelo Ball anti clutch terrorism is a big reason for this. That alley oop the other day ☠️☠️.
The difference between the 2 franchises really is the FTs
from a thunder fan’s perspective, this means the lakers are insanely good
Have the Hornets tried winning games, or are they just playing for Net Rating?
They’re a bad team and Luka is a fraud.
“Lakers bad, give me upvotes!”
You should definitely get very mad at this; it’s a great look.
Lakers win by the skin of their teeth or are blown out, hornets lose by the skin of their teeth or blow out their opponents. Sadly clutch games are generally more common than doubling opponents by half, so the lakers winning scenario happens more often than the hornets.
The Lakers win all their games in the clutch and we lose all of ours
Are we gonna get a live in game net rating watch ala the Diff with the Cavs?
Does net rating incorporate the Lakers whistle?
People told me the West was tough.
Here come lakers fans to cry about a stat
For the 103882838th time this stats has been bought up again
This is like beating a dead horse because the Lakers net rating has been brought up over and over again the last week or so. The Lakers (Lebron and Luka) actually give a shit on defense the last few minutes, which is why they win close games. They also have Luka and Lebron on the the side of the court.
Refs making sure Lakers make the playoffs
Their fanbase drives a lot of engagement and their record is still respectable, so we have to keep pretending they’re a good team for a few more months even though this is Booker/Beal/Durant 2.0.
Nobody is pretending. Theyre not a contender, but they’re also not the hornets. Theyll be top 6 by the end in a tougher conference and might win the first round.
Thinking this group can win a series is definitely pretending They are generously the 7th-8th best team in the West. Who are they beating?
Literally anybody. Its 4 games.
“7th to 8th best”
Yeah no way you’re putting the real Beal/KD/booker 2.0 on the warriors above us 😂
Warriors won their first round series last year and were 1-0 against Minnesota when Steph got hurt.
Lakers lost 4-1 to the Wolves. Don’t stop believing though.
Their role players might be even worse than the Suns team hilariously enough
They have way more trade optionality than that Suns team ever did
Ayy the weekly fuck the Lakers hate thread! Fuck the Lakers I hate that fucking team, seriously fuck yall

(haven’t done jack…other than literally winning the chip in 2020 and making the conf finals a couple years later)
lol covid? and if “making” the conference is your goal, then congrats on that lol
again, haven’t won jack since 2010. they pay rent to play at their “home” and one of their best players in franchise history, raped a woman and died lol
Y….yeah winning the COVID year. Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s +1 championship. Same as it is in every other year
Making the conf finals is of course not as good as winning it all. But it’s absolutely more than “not doing anything”
Your final two points are I guess….good points if you huff paint?
yeah, I will correct you and yes you are wrong. since 2010, lakers have exact same chips as clippers ZERO. but the difference is, clippers actually own their arena and have also. made the conference finals.
they don’t have players who rape woman and die lol
happy to educate you. for the last time, haven’t won jack for 15 years and counting lol
2-12 last 14 playoff games. “but but but we won a title 80 years ago in Minnesota so we are elite” lmao
….wow
Folks this is a PSA, if you have severe mental illness please seek therapy!
Hi, are you doing okay?
Seems like you’re having a rough time and getting stressed over some stuff that really doesn’t matter much. NBA is supposed to be fun, not something to get upset about.
