It's the coach's fault if they can't figure out how to utilize him... geez guys.

Chuck was right. No idea what Kenny was trying to say. Shaq is out of his mind if he thinks that roster can win it all.

The only way a team like the Lakers could win it all is if multiple other teams get major injuries and/or all the other teams happen to beat each other up so much that the Lakers have an easy path. Like, what if the Nuggets beat OKC in a brutal series, but then Jokic gets hurt, so the Lakers get to beat a Jokic-less Nugs team? Or something silly like that. That's the only way they go deep in this playoffs; they are not better than OKC, DEN, or SAS, and probably not better than other teams like MIN. Heck, they may not even be better than we are (when healthy).

The body language from LeBron and Luka..

Jeremy come back and defend him pleaseeee.

Dude got out at the right time... lol

If only had a few more shots he would've tried harder on defense. Shame.

Lakers are getting the full DA experience. Didn't want to post this stuff and pile on but...well....

Spoiler: show/hide

It's not his fault he has tiny...brains.

So much wasted potential. It’s sad really. All the physical tools, just no drive.

JeremyGeandre was better at defending Ayton than Ayton is at defending the paint.

I'm actually really curious to see whether the Lakers try to keep DA for next season. They seem frustrated with him, but if he would take a cheap contract, would they let him stay?

Don't think they'll have an option... He's on a 2 year contract with the second year being a player option and don't see him walking away from easy money.

What's gotten into Ayton lately to actually play good basketball?!

18 points, 17 boards, and 2 blocks tonight.

And he showed good effort throughout.

Ah.

Doesn't hurt that Sengun is a fucking awful defensive player.
