The Clippers are the hot topic 15 out of 18. When Lakers lost to the Clippers, they talked about the Lakers SMH.

Reaves, Ayton, and picks for Giannis.

There’s this good take I saw the other day, I just can’t remember which pod was it: Lakers are not a contender until they become a 48-minute defensive team, which they aren’t currently. They can show flashes of defensive brilliance, but only for 3-5 minutes at a time. And in between those times that they suck in defense, they absolutely must outshoot their opponent just to say in the game.

25th in defense and 8th in offense. They won’t be real contenders until they’re closer to 10th in defense. It’s just what it is.

No way LeBron James is going to win another championship in LA 😊😊 Luka ain’t winning championship either 😅

Unless Bron starts playing defense, Ayton wont matter. Unless they plan on winning without Bron?

When lakers do something good they bring up a topic to bring them down.
