[Highlight] Luke Kennard stops on a dime to hit a 3 and get a 13 pt Laker lead
Amen Thompson airballed an open 3. It was so open no lakers player was even coming close to him.
What is this rockets performance
Amen can’t shoot lol
They’re a young team but I genuinely see no contending future for a core duo of Amen and Sengun that’s never going to work in the playoffs with how awful both are at shooting
Only hope is that Reed Sheppard somehow turns into Curry
There is none. Sengun is useless as a playoff player and only decent in regular season.
Sengun is literally just a terrible archetype of player. Not especially efficient anywhere and can’t shoot with bad to mid defense. People compare him to Jokic cause he’s a big who can pass but Jokic has godlike touch and can shoot.
Also kinda out of pocket but that’s why I can never give a shit about Derik Queen. None of these guys are good at the rim.
To be honest, Jokic is the only particularly good player of his “archetype”. That he’s so good he’s the best player in the league has made people overrate guys like Sabonis and Sengun and Queen a lot. All of those guys are missing some key strengths he has though (and for many they’re gigantic weaknesses) and Jokic’s weaknesses are even worse weak spots for them all.
Yup “unathletic center who doesn’t protect the rim” is the worst archetype
Jokic is just 9⁄10 or 10⁄10 at everything but rim protection and athleticism so he gets away with it but generally this is the last kind of big man you want
Unathletic center who doesn’t protect the rim, has average touch, and can’t even be a stretch big because they have poor shooting.
Sengun is 23, Curry was averaging 14 points, had never made the playoffs, and was getting debated against Montae Ellis at that time
He’s clearly got great vision, some flair, and is virtually 7 feet which are things you cant teach. He’s a promising player with a lot of room to grow. He’s clearly not Jokic yet and may never be but he’s clearly got some upside. The roster construction he’s got to work with doesn’t do him any favors and the team has a bunch of young players learning alongside him which is always going to slow things down.
Sengun is a bad center yeah
His offense isn’t good and his defense sucks
He can do stuff in the regular season fine enough but the second a team plans for him, he becomes very useless
That shot was so bad for even a non shooter.
With how open he was, I feel like quite a high percentage of the people in this thread coulda gotten closer to making it than Amen
Amen is sooooo bad at anything to do with shooting
vando with good pr
Looked like they didn’t even see where it went for a second lol
Off-brand Steph castle. Only delusional rockets fans think he’s better
If I saw a Laker play up on Amen I would hope JJ benches him
The team is ass without Durant. Him being out kills the little spacing they have.
Luke Kennard: Look at me. I’m the Snowtime now.
Luka and Austin must have given this man some of their power
What power?
I’m imagining you said that in a country accent
I can hear it lmao
Cold white boy power. You gotta make sure you don’t just say white power, or it sounds crazy
Sneaky athletic power
Non-melanin type of power
[deleted]
That could come off as racist
we got this man for the corpse of gabe
That crossover was so smooth it should come with a warning label.
Lakers be giving some racial buff like its WoW
Exalted with whites
Given to them by Arthas, the LeCh King
They really do have that “activate clutch gene” perk unlocked for random role players
Lonnie’s G4 4th quarter takeover … 👌🏿
Can’t believe we got Kennard for Gabe Vincent
Kennard’s shooting has been such a perfect fit, while Vincent barely saw the floor. That trade looks like a steal now.
Bro just take more lol even if he shots 33%-35%
I swear if he had Westbrook’s confidence he’d be a 20ppg and 5apg type guy he can handle too
If he had AR’s confidence, he’d be AR
Stan Van Gundy completely exonerated, Luke Kennard has arrived
Kennard’s been balling out lately, SVG definitely saw something in him that’s finally clicking.
Entire Houston rockets young core getting out scored by luke kennard I don’t think FVV is saving them
Laker legend
Saw “stops on a dime” and expected to see Luke running full speed down the court and do some crazy deceleration. Not just kind of casually come off a screen and shoot a 3.
I was wondering if “stops on a dime” was a joke about how he took like 3 steps after the handoff to set his feet
bro literally took like 4 steps after the handoff lmfao
Lakers gonna eliminate the Rockets without Luka. Perfect time to be back in the second round.

My GOAT
LUKE SKYWALKER
Luka Kennard
I don’t think the Lakers have a bad team. I just think they depended on certain players more and didn’t allow the rest to “play”. 😩
The two Ohio Mr. Basketball’s owned this game tonight.
Fuck the Fakers can’t wait till they play a real team and refball can’t save them 🤣
Keep crying hater🤣
You can count on that. Just like you can count on refs saving the Fakers
Mfs will always find a way to hate 😂
If I’m not hating the Fakers I’m dead
I respect it
cope lmao lmao also ur mom gay
My mom is no longer with us. RIP mom
RIP 🙏 still gay tho
Thank you 🙏
