[Highlight] Luka sinks the dagger 3 from deep
The only 3s he made today were the disrespectful ones
So typical Luka game then. His power increases proportionally to how much shit he can talk after the shot and/or how off balance he was when he took it
He’s the best 3% shooter when he can shit talk the defender guarding him
This is the same distance and probably more open then the game winner he passed up on.
Will never understand why he didn’t take that shot. Would love to see him pass up on a few more 3s but in game we’re winning I guess it’s good to get his reps up
Look at the gravity Luke Kennard brings in. He’s going to be an important piece for this team.
He looks like pre shave Caruso in this clip
A couple more years and hes gonna look like him post shave too.
Yeah he needs to shave and snap on a headband. Carauso 2.0 LFG!!!!!
He really should shoot more and I understand at this point in his career that’s not going to change. But your point guard gets you a great look, as you receive the ball, your defender is running from the paint. And the possesion ends with a tough end of the clock 3 for your point guard.
I was thinking the same. He should have shot that. He’s leading the league in 3%. When you get a look open like that, you have to shoot it.
He makes the pass and so blocks off bridges angle of defense as well. He’s a high IQ player
I’m looking at him and he hasn’t changed much– dude just will not take open threes lol… he has to be bullied into shooting open threes
I was told he was a bum though
No you weren’t.
Yeah we were lol
No one said he’s a bum. Just stop it
No. I don’t think I will.
Yeah people are saying the 6x first team guy is a bum lmao
It’s ridiculous I know
He gets criticized but no one serious says he’s a bum. Everyone knows he’s good and this victim complex is weird
Nah people definitely say he’s FAT. Bum idk, but they def call him FAT. A lot of this sub wants to call him a fucking loser FATBOY. Fucking fatso loser who loves in n out so much cuz guess what? HES FUCKING FAT
How short is everyone’s memory here it’s been like 2 weeks since there were takes that Luka was an overrated bum
❌ open 3 from your two best shooters
✅ deep 3 from Luka
I reread the title when Luke kennard got the ball I was like wait what…
Wow that audience is absolutely terrible
“Real” Lakers fans have been priced out for years now
Yeah LA definitely has proper fans, sad to see them getting priced out
Lakers away crowd also feels like one of the loudest away crowds too funny enough. Swear their home crowd is quieter than their crowd here (our crowd been pretty pathetic the past couple years fwiw)
It always is, because people who are true diehards can’t afford seats to Lakers home games. Lakers fans that live outside of LA will gladly take the opportunity to go to away games where they’re playing because they’ll usually be cheap compared to LA prices. I’m even sure that buying seats for an away game and paying travel expenses for some LA Laker fans is still cheaper than outright buying Lakers home game tickets.
I actually heard that corporations will buy out whole groups of seats for certain games and give the tickets to their employees.
Also, there’s the Hollywood crowd and their self-absorbed children who would rather treat the game as a way to boost their social accounts, rather than actually get absorbed in the game with what happens.
The crowd in the December game at Philly was crazy so many Lakers fans
Knicks got a bunch of fans in the game today as well. It felt like as the players got introduced the Knicks got louder cheers than the lakers lol
Only lakers players that got loud enough cheers to hear on the broadcast as they were introduced were Austin and Luka
Makes me think of Roaracle days…
knicks fans were deadass louder all game. just ban every single lakers ‘fan’ today from ever attending. prices up next season too btw
Way up and it fucking sucks. Probably going to have give up my grandpa’s seats that have been in the family since the Great Western Forum.
Worst arena audience in all of basketball. Going to only get worse with increased ticket prices.
Miami is actually the worst
Just influencers :-/
Lakers crowd has always been shit compared to other teams, but it has gotten increasingly awful in recent years
No. Always isn’t true at all.
Lakers games are trash, even the playoff games for the most part. No one wears the shirts, no one is paying attention.
I gotta check out different basketball arenas. I been to a couple Lakers in the last few years and the crowd was pretty meh most of the game
This Knicks offense in the 4th is disgusting against our trash defense
Our defense was actually pretty good this game
Yeah I watched like the last 6 minutes only but I liked what I saw from Lakesr for sure, all of the players did their best
Both teams in the 4th delivered some of the shittiest basketball this season
Both teams turned into LA fitness in the fourth quarter
Just like,
Lakers: “please come back, we’re allergic to being normal”
Knicks: “how about nah.”
That’s where LeBron is usually the most valuable to the team. He can muscle through a team like the Knicks and get to the rim very consistently when the Lakers go cold
They definitely gave up after the awful 3rd quarter. Doesn’t help they’re playing a back-to-back tomorrow night.
Nah would have pulled Branson if that was true. He played 42 minutes
Yeah I think they were banking on the clippers game being so winnable they could throw everything here and walk away with 2 wins. But now Kawhi is gunna drop like 30 in 18 minutes on their gassed asses and theyre losing both
The defense isn’t trash when Lebron is out. There’s a reason the record with Luka and Reaves is so good
Brunson had some elite tunnel vision and Mikal refused to shoot the ball.
How does this team own the Raptors?
The Raptors are tiny, Brunson hates dinosaurs, and KAT becomes a monster against them
You say that like that’s such a crazy thing… They are better than the Raptors and have been better the past few years
If you just watched this Lakers game and no others, you would think they have a great defense.
Lakers are now tied with the media darling Jokic led Nuggets while Luka is averaging 33-8-8 on great efficiency and played more games than Jokic yet he’s fighting for 1st team and Jokic is borderline MVP. Makes no sense especially since Jokic has almost all the same flaws as Luka. Obviously Jokic has better efficiency and rebounding / assists but the gap shouldn’t be as big as it is. Just like in 2024
Neither should be in Cade/Brown talks. SGA is the runaway IMO rn and then Jokic and Luka
[removed]
Jokic is going to go down as the most overrated player of this generation
Jokic is also not the point guard of the team, he has Jamal Murray help him with entry passes and bringing the ball up. Luka needs to bring the ball up 24⁄7 while getting blitzed by 2 guys by the half-court what feels like every game. Luka is without question the best self-creator in the league in terms of creating shots for himself. But yeah, Jokic is unbelievable and his size allows him to playmake better
bruh RUI, wtf?! lmao
if luka missed that, JJ woulda grilled him.
he missed the last two 3s, but yeah. you gotta shoot that shot
It’s actually crazy that a .525 and a .444 3p shooter gets 2 open looks in one possesion and somehow after all that, the possesion ends with a grenade on Doncic
Annoying game from this team
Y’all must really hate my Nuggets putting belt on us then letting the Lakers catch up to us in seeding
nuggets beat lakers, knicks beat nuggets, lakers beat knicks. full circle
The circle of life, only question is who is treated to long live the king
“Why would you do tha—- t’s my GOAT!”
What the hell is Jalen Brunson doing?
Statistically one of the 2 worst defensive players in the game for a reason lmao. Just walking around doing nothing.
Mike Brown not happy the assistant helped him up. Good sportsmanship 👍🏽
The same shot he passed up the other night
What’s his record against JB? lol
3-1 for Luka now, I believe
Last game brunson won I believe.
Knicks might be in trouble. When you can’t beat the team that can’t beat anyone above .500, you’re in trouble.
Open 3’s = no
Contested 3’s = yes
I wish he shot that against the magic :(
The same shot he refused to shoot at the end of the game when he hot potatoed LeBron.
Is that Johnny Depp next to Mike brown??
Kennard’s drive made this possible.
What a pickup lol
Looks like an open shot for Kennard but decides to drive baseline
We just call any shot in the 4th quarter a dagger now huh
It’s maybe slightly out of “dagger range” but 10 points with 1:05 is still a possible comeback if the leading team plays dumb
Sure if by “playing dumb” you mean trying to lose intentionally
“It was a little deep”
