Hijacking just to say someone who didn’t watch the game is also going to talk about the free throws, so here it is:

Basically, if our guys beat them off the dribble, Nets 1 2 or 3 stringers or whoever they be will more than likely foul.

It’s just such a joke that the media has Wemby as the only other contender for MVP

Just like 2024

Mysterii00 | Mavericks

36 | 8 hours ago

I remember the absolute maddening goalpost moving for his 2024. Really sucks. Really does feel like that again. Jokic still very much deserved it though, it just felt like Luka’s year and he still ended at 3rd and yet went on to the finals.

fake-tall-man

3 | 6 hours ago

I don’t think they do, Luka was considered second a literal week ago and everyone is talking about it being a 4 player race with sga leading

whatssenguntoagoblin | Alperen Sengun

2 | 4 hours ago

If Wemby wins MVP this season he’ll have the least minutes played out of any MVP in NBA history outside of Bill Walton who played 58 games in the 1970s (and he still might play less than him).

TheGamesGone_ | Celtics

-19 | 7 hours ago

Wemby is a better player. It makes sense.

correct. I’m on the Wemby/ SGA/ Luka/ Jokic bandwagon (in that order)

loyola-atherton | Lakers

68 | 8 hours ago

On another topic, felt like our guys were mentally and physically fatigued. The vibe wasn’t there tonight. Both in court and in the bench. A lack of the usual energy and focus. Teammates were barely cheering for highlight plays either.

CopperSleeve | Supersonics

Seasons long and they’re scrapping for that 3rd seed.

spicywardell | Lakers

was at the game tonight, they all just looked a little bored tbh. the road trip was a gauntlet of playoff teams and they finally come home and their first game is against a team thats literally been trying to lose

carlonia | Lakers

That was a really difficult and taxing roadtrip tbh

fake-tall-man

it’s gotta be annoying to have to expend energy to play the Nets

BigStrongPolarGuy

It’s crazy how good Reaves has gotten, to where a game like that doesn’t even really warrant any comments. Monster game from him on both ends. I really feel like he’s been defending well this entire stretch.

salcedoge | Lakers

12 | 7 hours ago

Really interesting to see how he and Luka goes post-Lebron.

They were already doing great earlier this year

Game was close in the 4th but then the Nets realized that the Jazz, Wizards and Pacers all lost today

samhit_n | Lakers

The game was closer than the final score suggests.

FunTailor794

The real MVP

schoolhater12 | Raptors

22 | 8 hours ago

where’s the other half of the lakers dynamic commentating duo?

Luka, Reaves, and Lebron are always going to give you a fighting chance but the other team had 26 more shot attempts, and that would lead to an automatic loss against any playoff opponent

jordi Fernandez is such a good coach. can’t wait for him to coach meaningful basketball sometime in the near future

joaolouro1967 | Lakers

17 | 8 hours ago

They also had 26 more shot attempts because free throws don’t count as attempts (they were better at getting offensive boards nontheless)

mkLOW | Lakers

Yeah where was Stu at? Billy mentioned he was out sick but is it anything worry some? My 🐐 commentator

aliao | Lakers

I truly love Stu so much

Apprehensive-Rain601 | Lakers

3 | 8 hours ago

He was sick. I’m willing to let this game slide I think they guys were rusty from their long ass road trip and I gotta credit Brooklyn they wanted it man

Idkwhyimhere420 | Nets

2 | 7 hours ago

Having a good coach like jordi can be frustrating at times (nets went 7-4 in December) when you’re tanking/rebuilding but they pay off if the nets get a top pick would be absolutely worth it

SwizzGod | Lakers

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

Strategic technical from Luka. Sits on the first night of a back to back

loyola-atherton | Lakers

10 | 8 hours ago

Nets need to be fined for tanking so damn obviously.

Claxton and Williams were doing well, just very active in the court, were like the battery of the team on the court, get pulled out and don’t see a second in the 4th. No injuries. Just pure tanking in our faces.

nixhomunculus

1 | 7 hours ago

So fines for all of them tankers?

Seany140000 | Lakers

9 | 8 hours ago

Haven’t been able to watch many games VS the supposed tanking teams.. but it was a close game then Nets pull all the hot players out and they don’t score again that’s got to be fineable right???

NewYearsD | Lakers

3 | 7 hours ago

i feel bad for those players. i’m pretty sure the front office tells them they need to tank even though the players want to win games

cool_coyote | Spurs

8 | 8 hours ago

These lottery teams are just “fuck you, Adam Silver we gonna tank anyway you bitch” mode these final games of the season.

Western-Election-997 | Lakers

5 | 8 hours ago

For every 40 point game Luka has he drops another spot in MVP

Not fair but thems the rules

hurtsbayar9

-5 | 7 hours ago

That was mainly due to Doncic shooting ¹¹⁄₂₉ and losing to Pistons without Cade and Wemby and Jokic going nuclear and on winstreak.

But that doesnt fit well with LOL’s

Ugly 17 point win

swift_air | Nets

5 | 8 hours ago

We got a well coached team that plays hard, we ain’t trash like most of the league think we are based on the start of the season.

Nets started the year with Cam Thomas doing nothing on defense and chucking up shots, five rookies and Terance Mann in the rotation-the washed vet we now use to “close” the games for the tank in the forth quarter.

Jordi is amazing. we play an enjoyable ³⁄₄ of a game of basketball then lose, give us AJ Dybantsa if this ain’t ethical tanking nothing is.

devotedhero | Wizards

1 | 14 minutes ago

How was this ethical tanking lol? Claxton and Williams randomly got pulled in the 4th when they were playing well the whole game

Apotheosis62 | Nuggets

3 | 8 hours ago

So people are definitely going to go after the Nets as hard as they went after the Jazz right? They both did the same thing

Vitex1988 | Thunder

-5 | 8 hours ago

nope, fuck you lol

Apotheosis62 | Nuggets

2 | 8 hours ago

I come off as having sour grapes because the Nuggets played the Jazz tonight and benefited, but the amount of people who go after the Jazz and then let it slide from other teams is just ridiculous at this point.

Funyarinpa-13 | Nets

2 | 7 hours ago

It’s because the Jazz have more or less a competent roster, same with the Pacers. Now who on our roster except MPJ would you be willing to go after?

I know this is moving the goal post, but this is the only justification I can think. We really needed the highest pick, along with the Kings I guess, than any other tanking teams.

Idkwhyimhere420 | Nets

1 | 7 hours ago

Obv biased but imo the nets and kings are the two teams that need a top pick cus of roster construction, the other teams are doing it cus of circumstance, understandably so

Vitex1988 | Thunder

I mean, I swear the Nets were just told by their coach to hack at the Lakers instead of trying to defend. He kinda isn’t wrong though. Lakers suck at free throws
