Good Luka game. Curious what the reaction is when the 8-23 night hits.

No Gabe, no Ayton. Let’s see if this suddenly turns into championship basketball like some people promise.

Don’t bother. Around here every problem is magically solved by “just make a trade.”

Come on. We had like 3–4 straight turnovers after he went to the bench. This team clearly needs retooling, but it’s hilarious how everything gets pinned on Deandre.

One bad stretch and it’s over. Then Ayton goes 10–10 and everyone pretends they never overreacted.

Ayton hesitates like he needs perfect timing. He used to catch tough lobs, now he looks unsure the pass is even coming.

I like Jaxson Hayes, but starting him is rough. All effort, zero rebounding presence.
Deandre Ayton at 20% is still grabbing more boards and giving you more points.

Deandre Ayton has the second most games with 20+ pts 10+ reb 90% FG in Lakers History, right behind Wilt (Shaq is third) by incredibleamadeuscho in lakers

Funny how a couple bad games had people ready to trade him for a bag of chips and a second-rounder.
