the lesson to be learned here is very simple… Laker Nation is a very passionate fan base but as a whole they don’t know shit about basketball outside of the Lakers and that’s why the fan base is usually wrong about players whenever they join the Lakers.
They are Highlight…

We will never see another Lebron

On a night the Lakers’ two superstars had to be special, they were absolutely dynamic! LeBron James led the team with 35 points and 12 rebounds, and Anthony Davis added 27 points and 10 rebounds.

Bottom line, down the stretch the Clippers couldn’t defend without fouling. The Lakers took 17 free throws in the last 15 minutes.

This was such a team win, every single player made impactful plays that contributed to winning tonight. There’s a very clear direction on both ends schematically for this team to be at its peak.
Lakers Win. Let’s. Freaking. Go.

The Lakers have a lot of problems, but they’re 3-2 against a really hard opening schedule.
There’s good stuff happening here. Definitely a lot to work on, but the doom and gloom of the Kings game should be in the rearview mirror for now.

That’s right no one, and I mean NO ONE, beats the Lakers 12 times in a row on their homecourt

So glad the Lakers fought back after that poor start to get the win.

The Lakers were playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, down 3 front court rotation, players by the way. So miss me with the “Back to back” shit.

For the Lakers to do this with basically no wings, yes, I am thoroughly impressed.

Westbrook finally helped the Lakers win a game!!

The key to victory for the Lakers: Austin Reaves snapped out of his early-season, new-contract slump and was instrumental in closing.

That’s cute how the Lakers really thought they’d be restricting LeBron’s minutes this season
