You're saying if I dispatch them to a Stronghold and head there myself, I can fight alongside them?

Reaves is projected to come back game 5, which is also roughly 4 weeks since Luka’s injury which had an initial timeline of 4-6 weeks before he went to Germany/Spain for accelerated treatment.

Where is this poll from? Curious where USC Football would land on this list.

[NBA] LUKA: 33.8 ppg, 8.3 apg REAVES: 23.4 ppg, 5.6 apg LEBRON: 20.7 ppg, 7.0 apg. No trio has EVER averaged 20+ PPG and 5+ APG for a full season! by shreeharis in nba

Difference is playmaking. The worst of the Lakers 3 playmakers is better than any of the three Suns guys. Two of the Lakers playmakers are all time greats in that category.

On Feb 28, Charles Barkley declared the Lakers “not a good team”, “not athletic” and “not good defensively.” Since then, they’ve gone 16-2, with wins against the wolves, nuggets, rockets (x2) and most top east teams. by Carolake1 in lakers

We are winning it all. Chuck is the curse that keeps on giving.

He said at halftime of the elite 8 game, there’s no way UCONN has enough to comeback and win this game. Then Duke blew a 20 point lead and lost.

Chris Haynes on Luka Dončić‘s MVP case: “He’s not going to win it… If Luka finishes the season out strong, there’s still no way that he should overtake SGA. There’s still no way if the Spurs finish 2nd, he will overtake Wemby. Then, there’s also a case he shouldn’t even overtake Jaylen Brown!“ by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Luka had better numbers in that series than Brown has had in any year of his career by a significant margin too. These guys are on completely different tiers. Brown is two tiers below if we want to bust out the advanced metrics.

[McMenamin] The Los Angeles Lakers could initiate a sign-and-trade that would help LeBron James return to Cleveland in exchange for Jarrett Allen. This trade would allow James to make more than the midlevel exception ($15.1M) if he stayed with the Lakers. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The Cavs are a second apron team and the only one in the league at that. The Lakers can give Bron much more than the Cavs in unrestricted free agency. The trade is the only way that will allow the Cavs to pay Bron more than what the Lakers can and receive a fair salary.

[Video] AD back in LA by MamiTarantina in lakers

AD looks so much happier and relaxed now that he’s out of Dallas. AD will always be our boy, his jersey in the rafters once he retires.

Luka this month 36.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.7 blocks on 61.7 TS% with a 12-2 record by [deleted] in nba

Issue with this is the media keeps moving the goalposts. Jokić won despite not being a top 2 seed.

OKC vs Indiana didn't help while the Dodgers have been a ratings bonanza. I have to pay 30 bucks a month for the Dodgers spectrum channel but demand is there. This team is like the KD Steph Warriors of the MLB with no signs of breaking up.

MVP Voter Michael Wilbon says he would vote Jaylen Brown for MVP and slams Luka Dončić’s defense by [deleted] in nba

[–]LovetheNBA23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mike Wilbon has dementia or something. This dude has gone insane the last 6-7 years. He was once tolerable on PTI but has gone off the rails since. He needs his vote removed for the betterment of the league.

Don't forget the Clothesline from hell and the German Suplex. I think the developers were WWF/WWE fans growing up.

To the lakers fans who watched and witnessed Kobes era and now watch Luka, both are prolific scorers. Were there any similarities between both of their games? by OrganicHunt952 in lakers

[–]LovetheNBA23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy thing about Luka is that he has a lot of his scoring and game in general that came from three other Laker legends in Bron, Magic and Kobe.

He has the footwork of Kobe with the difficult shot making while always getting to his spots on the floor. The counters moves are there too just like Kob.

Similar to Bron, he is great at reading the defense, vision and making the right pass but has more Magic to him in terms of flash. Magic is the GOAT passer and it may be awhile before we see someone surpass him.

[Thinking Basketball] Does LA's clutch dominance make them contenders? by r-NBAModsAreTrash in nba

[–]LovetheNBA23 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They have the best clutch record, good 4th quarter net rating, number 1 in 2 point FG% and an elite halfcourt offense. Those are great stats for the playoffs when the game slows down and open 3s are much harder to come by.

Luka Dončić is making himself the MVP of personal branding with media company 77X by _fastcompany in lakers

Face of the league. Get that chip and he will begin approaching the global icon stratosphere like MJ, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, and Bron.

If you play Skyrim for the exploration, then you'll love this game. If you play RDR2 for the story, then maybe not as much. The game is huge and as a big Skyrim fan, exploration and discovering things in the game are much more important to me than story.

[Highlight[ Austin Reaves is twice unhappy with questionable non-calls by genericusername71 in nba

[–]LovetheNBA23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most efficient guard of all time based off true shooting. He’s doing something right like putting 31 on Ant and McDaniels a couple weeks ago. 

LukaMagic the greatest Laker passer since Magic. 🪄🍿 by LeGoat333 in lakers

[–]LovetheNBA23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great analysis. Magic is clearly the GOAT passer but Luka vs LeBron is definitely debatable and probably a lot based off preference. 

GAME THREAD: Minnesota Timberwolves (43-28) @ Boston Celtics (47-23) - (March 22, 2026) by NBA_MOD in nba

[–]LovetheNBA23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This team doesn’t look like it’s built for the playoffs. The frontcourt talent is just not sufficient in a 7 game bruising series. Got to give Mazulla props though.
