LeBron was hot in that first quarter, unfortunately, it ended up being meaningless because Reaves went 3-16 from the field…the pieces are there for my Lakers to be good, but they can never all be playing great at the same time against tough teams like okc. Hopefully we get a game

Is it time to fake another injury for the king? Or just later declare that he was enduring another injury all these time again after the series?

Austin Reaves what an awful showing, can’t do that in the playoffs. And JJ stayed with him when it didn’t work, I would’ve pulled him after going 1-9. JJ has no other plans or solutions and never puts in young fresh guys in. Kennard went off a cliff since the 2 good games he had and now shows why teams were not playing him. Only LeBron, Rui and Ayton showed up while OKC got their usual production from a lot of players. OKC is a team the Lakers have to deal with for the next 5 years or so to get anywhere and Reaves is easy picking for them. Doesn’t fit in, needs to go in the off season, him and Luka is too much a defensive handicap. JJ too scared to gamble and just plays easy safe lineups.

LeBron James was really a one man army out there. Reaves disappointed.

Females should never be allowed in males team meetings practices or workouts or locker rooms
A court A field A ring are sacred places for men
Places for men to learn.
Place for competition is for men to prepare, focus mentally, physically with no distractions.
Established hierarchy. Limitations, Comradery
A place to compete

The Thunder are getting more rebounds which results in more chances to score and they don’t miss as much as Lakers Reaves did 🤦🏻♂️ theyre also starting 2 Centers. Lakers should try to do the same. Has Reddick tried it?!!? This is terrible coaching. Lakers got whooped!!

Painful to watch the Lakers junk defense double and triple the best player the entire game! Scared to guard him one on one😂 OKC is not one dimensional! 18 and down 0-1! Great strategy

This won’t last long. They let LA stay around to shake rust off and to make them feel good about themselves

JJ should’ve given Luke Kennard more minutes than Reaves. AR was strugglin bigtime yet JJ still let him stay on the court for nothin. My goodness
