Swapping a guy that provided negative value for Kennard was such a great maneuver

Been lights out since he joined the Lakers

Blow out the red hot spurs.

Annihilate the Denver Nuggets

One possession game vs OKC

Get completely shut down by the 2026 Lakers defense

A week of the 2026 NY Knicks

Smart 1-10 from the floor.
Game high +27

Lakers did everything in their power to give their momentum away to Knicks but they just bricked everything

First actually good team we’ve beat since like December

Marcus Smart went ¹⁄₁₀ and took a bunch of bad threes to let the Knicks back in this game but finished a +27 that’s my GOAT

The Knicks offense did the impossible and made our defense look good

This right here is how we lost to the Kings not too long ago. When the Knicks play bad, they play really really bad. I truly believe that if we play like this, we can lose to all 29 other teams in the league.

It’s a problem, and if this performance shows up in a critical playoff game, it will cause problems.

Brunson was truly disastrous. Just stank it up for the whole game apart from like 2 minutes in the 4th.

As a LeBron fan and someone who thinks he’s one of the most over criticized athletes of all time - the Lakers are legitimately better without him currently

With what LeBron currently provides he just isn’t that impactful on a team that already has Luka and Reaves.

Worst quarter of basketball I’ve seen this year

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

Luka going down in mvp ratings after this one

What a disgusting game of basketball

Max Kellerman just fell to his knees at a bodega

I think the lakers should move on from Bron this off-season but today was not the game to say they’re better without him. That was ugly basketball and the Knicks just played even worse

What a frustrating as hell loss. Especially when other teams in the East we’re competing against keep fucking winning with much less!

Doris Burke is the worst commentator of all time.

You could build a city with the amount of bricks ive seen in the 4th.

I can’t believe how long Brunson was forced to play even while he’s playing bad lmao, like he could’ve been sat for most of the 4th

Straight up terrorism from Knicks in 4th, lol. Once they comeback to 10 point deficit they just start taking absolutely dumbest possible shots

Good win for the lakers, happy they got this one

#LAKERS KNICKS FINALS!!!!

7 GAMES OF THIS. PPLEEEASEEEE

Seems like no one is talking about the Miles McBride injury enough. Jalen Brunson looks exhausted, this is where Deuce would help.

Lakers finally beat a good team since like November

First of all, happy international women’s day

Brunson sold. One of his worst games I’ve seen. Also bridges is a terrorist.

It’s not LeBrons fault. He’s 41 and didn’t ask for the trade but….

The big 3 just doesn’t work especially with this supporting cast. The big 3s flaws and strengths are the exact same while the role players strengths can’t cover those

Role players and stars look better, except Luka he’s always the same

Lukas D is really not as bad as this sub makes it out to be.

Is he Pippen? No

But he is decent. Very easy to find a lowlight highlight on any player if you try.

Marcus Smarts numbers for the Lakers never look great but he’s been really great for them

Lebron should come off the bench when he comes back

Another classic win for the Lakers, where they out hustle and out defend the other team, Luka plays lockdown defense, and the Lakers bench dominates in a game that was never close in the 4th. 

great game by the Lakers. hopefully they can build on from this

Brunson x bridges disaster class today

Clarkson played better than expected with the minutes he was given. Bridges basically just playing cardio out there. The last few plays by Brunson were a disaster, granted he was probably fouled by Reaves when they both went down. Unfortunate lost for the Knicks.

The Lakers also seem like they play better without LeBron.

can’t believe i’m saying this but the Lakers really helped us out with this one. gives us some buffer for the 2nd seed before we play the Spurs and Thunder back to back

JJ will never do it but the lakers would be more dangerous in the playoffs if lebron played less or none at all. Just say his sciatica flared up again lmao

Marcus Smart goes 1-10, scores 5 points, and is +27. Yowza…

ESPN going to declare that the Lakers can win the West Lol.

Grande vittoria per i lakers, finalmente battono un top team, la difesa anche è stata ottima

Well that was definitely a game 

The Lakers couldn’t hit anything for a bit, it’s just New York hit less than nothing

Love seeing salty Celtics fans rooting for Knicks because they hate Lakers and Luka so much have to eat their words

Very good win we almost through that shi away but I love it onto Minnesota

There’s a high percentage of people in the Lakers sub only talking about how we look without Bron rather than talking about the game itself lol

MORALE WILL SUFFER UNTIL MARCUS SMART HITS A WIDE OPEN 3

A guard has the same rebounds as a supposed to be dominant center

i hated when Smart used to flop a ton but man does he earn his paycheck nowadays

Knicks will have nights where they look like world beaters (San Antonio, Denver) and nights where they look like G-Leaguers (Cleveland, today in Los Angeles)

Horrendous game. Mikal deserves to get slapped and Brunson almost had a quadruple double with turnovers…

If they can’t hit the 3, they lose. Simple as that. Not some deep analysis I know but that tends to be the case in most of their losses.

Bipolar Knicks strike again. Completely outclassed by a good team with a strong one-two punch and a solid wing. We clearly have the better big and wing, but we played like a chicken with its head cut off the whole game

doing our part tomorrow by beating Denver so you guys can go up in the standings

Finally beat a good team, best win of season so far

Oh man y’all Knicks just had to make the gut punch I got Friday worse huh 

Bridges sold the game. LA was trying to hand them the win!

WESTBROOK MUST BE GLAD WITH ALL THAT BRICK!!!!

[removed]

A 🍩 is insane

5 firsts for bridges will always be insane. even the bane deal looks much better

One of the teams forgot their legs back home.

JJ didn’t seem to happy there at the end.

Lakers are so much better without Bron, quite sad. Gotta take the vet min or he needs to gtfo LA in order for Luka to win a chip.

Bridges is so frustrating. He has a front runner’s aura when things are going good doing his stupid pointing and bobbleheading, but crumbles up into a ball when there’s any adversity/he getting owned on the defensive end. Can’t think of a game where he shifts momentum mentally to makeup for what was to come big in what is.

bipolar ass team LOL. they’ll look competitive against the top of the west and then actively fight to lose agaisnt the lakers. is what it is

We need less natasha bedingfield and more onyx

Knick’s are suffering from the Mike Brown effect

Watched this game because I heard the Knicks were a finals team this year.

That squad looked more like a first round exit or a play-in team

Triple singles for smart and ayton, gotta love it
