Lakers-Warriors Postgame Reaction: LeBron, Austin Reaves Lead LA Without AD In Christmas Classic

[@sydneydance]

Max Christie and Austin Reaves with the nerves of steel free throws 😤

[@fullspectrum1209]

Ok. Have to admit it: Reaves kicked butt! 😂

[@DanielLeightonArt]

Love your content, Jovan! Happy holidays!

[@jenisia3600]

Love the red light. Bron, Reaves & Max pulled through for the W without AD. Don't ever want to see Rui at the 5 🤢 Rob do something!!

[@dmitryowens]

It was fine this game because the Warriors don't have any true centers.

[@jorgeayala3980]

Curry and Bron must see TV 🙌

[@icecoldac3]

Always!!! These 2 stars are special man. Always a show down when they meet

[@dax8]

Great Christmas day game, reminded me of when Lakers used to make a point of giving fans a big W as a gift.

[@ytdgreat]

whoever watches this will have a blessed 2025...

[@am3818]

Not at all how blessings work lol get real

[@joeloluyole3198]

Amen! You too!

[@tylercastanedaiii5651]

I only came here to be blessed🙏

[@LCG3003]

It's hard to believe how amicable Bron and Steph are, given their battles when Bron was with the Cavs. Year after year, Cavs vs GS.

[@loverboy4671]

More Impressive is How Amicable Bron is With KD

[@Haveadoomsday]

I’m interested in keeping up with Rui at the front court positions. I know he has trouble with screens and faster competition but if he can hold his own on the block he might be able to be a good small ball option for us if we can get a “starting” level center. 6 or 7th man is perfect for Rui

[@Alex-k3g7r]

Missed opportunity to start the video with “ho hoooooooo”

[@icecoldac3]

Lmao 😂

[@kwesip6267]

Next year

[@kuyab9122]

Give my regards to Helena, Jovan!

[@NotebookLives]

I didn’t even realize D’Lo was out. This was a more unbelievable win than I thought. Bron, Max, Austin, and Rui truly carried this home.

[@ChosenOne1111]

I forgot about DLo frfr. Everybody was so locked in!

[@jeremyjazwinski6349]

Our boy JB went with the red lightning in the background. Not bad my friend not bad. I swear your due for a haircut every 3 days haha

[@georgefehr624]

When are Hayes and Woods coming back to play.

[@georgefehr624]

Dlo Russell Hopefully can comeback soon sprained thumb

[@oommaarriiss]

U know ADs history of being injured and you would think pelinka and jeanie would want to invest in a big men : ( the negligence of the front office is crazy! They cant go past this trade deadline without improving this team! They need a big men ! They need 2 way players

[@loverboy4671]

KD had his best days playing alongside Boogie / Won a Chip playing with 2 other Bigs / he openly Admitted his Preference for playing With Another Big / He’s The Lakers Biggest Investment/// Butt Rob And Jeannie Are Sleeping and Dreaming About The Future 😢

[@Xray__12]

Jovan, would you rather DLo or Derozan off the bench? I could see 3 team trade that sends DLo & JHS out and brings Derozan in. He would need to serve as 6th man though

[@YouReallyDontKnow]

I love dlo, but if we’re going all in to win now, derozan might be the better option for scoring off the bench. He also can be very good in the clutch (when not playing a lebron team lol)

[@georgefehr624]

We rank high in injuries. Guys just cant back on the court. I like Vanderbilt. He is young still had surgery still trying to recover. January possibility he can play. I hope Pelinka isnt resting saying Jeanie i dont need to improve the team we just beat the Warriors. Solid Lakers win. Reaves won it bank shot layup 1 second left. 115-113 vs. Warriors. Rob whether we win or lose needs to be looking to make smart trades.

[@danleftwich5911]

Walker Kessler and Malcolm Brogdon? I'd take it and hope JV comes back.

[@emalali9447]

Max Christie more clutch at free throw line than AD

[@SumitHariawala]

Jovan - great episode brother. Something to flag from the lebron POV: Lebrons last 7 games: 28 ppg 7.3 rpg 8.7apg ~2.5 Steal + blocks Shooting 53 / 39 / 82 I mention this because the biggest thing for the lakers is the question of lebron’s ceiling / where he’s at. He’s squarely a T10 player (imo he’s proving it’s higher)….just calling it out given the “washed” allegations prior to his rest Importantly, though, he should NOT play b2bs

[@gaberox1]

My only complaint with AR is as a primary ball handeler vs athletic defenders and his unrealistic passes. He tries to be clever and makes some crazy passes that lead to turnovers. Overall hes great but even in this game he only shot 40% from the field. Hard to beat his production based on his contract though.

[@ulicortez228]

My boi

[@robertwilliams-np6wb]

Austin grabbed the ball. He said he gave it to Russell to hold for him. The ball is going to Arkansas.

[@gregpollard7158]

Great Game LAke 🟣🟡 Show!!! • LBJ is Ballin’ within the Flow of Our Movement Offense & He’s Playing Solid Defense!!! • AR Balled with a 26 Point TD!!! His Agent’s Comments are preparing US for Him to leave with LBJ after the 25/26 Season to get A💰Bag!!! • Our Coaches are doing a Good Job Developing MaxC-W/S Knecht-Koloko!!!

[@charismaticcharacter6529]

How do you think Christian Wood would fare against Nikola Jokic? I’m curious how he would perform? I feel like Christian can do something against Jokic. Him and Anthony Davis.

[@mescudi971]

Jokic would crucify Christian wood

[@charismaticcharacter6529]

@ you guessing or you know for sure

[@mescudi971]

@@charismaticcharacter6529I kno for sure. Jokic would back him down and bully him every single possession. Hes got almost 80 lbs on him

[@Truthstter]

@@charismaticcharacter6529if he cooks AD and rui, he’s 100% cooking wood

[@georgefehr624]

Ad being questionable a certainty of life

[@loverboy4671]

Why do they keep asking “ if the Team has shown enough for a trade /// They have 2 Allstars , one of the best Duo . They wouldn’t give 2 first for Kyrie / Only to Draft Guys like JHS Lewis etc .

[@smurrayenterprises]

Analytics is meant to help you find an opportunity, strength , or weakness . The nba is using it to judge and determine a players worth and what style of basketball to play that’s not a good formula for success

[@LN-Lifer]

GS is like 3-11 in last 14 The only thing that makes the win impressive is that we did it without AD

[@YouReallyDontKnow]

Without AD and Dlo. GS might not be having a great stretch, but they’re still good team.

[@LN-Lifer]

@YouReallyDontKnow Don't get me wrong I still screamed like we just won game 7 when Austin got that layup

[@Haveadoomsday]

Ok hear me out, high post LeBron can be a fix if ad is out. Think pre Laker bron in Cleveland. A objectively worse roster . (Kevin love was second best player in points per game at 17.6ppg) this will only work when ad is out and the guards are struggling with the physical match up so it’s not a cure all. But with the philosophy of constant screen and cuts from the supporting cast, LeBron can work in his triple threat for slower pace, taking physical play away from guards and getting them open whether it’s kicking out as a double counter or using more post moves that gives him his “chess” advantage (shump saying LeBron uses movement from the natural mindset of the defender “take him with you” he can be QBron and jj gets his flare screens and inverted pick and rolls.) this is when “lebron needs shooters” comes from the misconception of bron has always been drive kick, I feel like it depends on the roster and this roster definitely needs slow pace and counter to the physical backcourt scouting report.

[@LN-Lifer]

I called the Detroit game a scheduled loss. Their strengths vs our weaknesses makes it one of the worst matchups in the league

[@andreasmakoben2455]

Jovan BUHA BUHA

[@chasestorer4282]

They definitely can't run the rui LeBron big lineup against teams with true centers, for instance clippers would have destroyed that lineup

[@_WEsTWooD]

Let’s stop the 🧢 Pelinka gave AD an extension so they should be investing in the team around him regardless of record. Attack every opportunity to improve for the next 4 years.

[@Johndanforth1]

Not sure I found this useful

[@Creamcity414]

Rui gives up too much, he gave Steph 4 threes 12 points soft hedges drop cover open 3 every time. His Decision making is bad defensively but he’s solid.

[@rob3h]

Rui was good offensively but awful defensively.

[@YouReallyDontKnow]

Statistically sure, but he was hustling and keeping his hands active for deflections and staying in passing lanes. He’s been doing great on defense in the areas that don’t show up in the box score

[@Courtcredbanks]

Johan. You’re a credible source. But for you to say LeBron don’t have the green light like Steph. You lose all your credibility. Lebron don’t have any lights. He’s a reckless driver lol

[@YouReallyDontKnow]

Yeah that was a weird thing to say lol lebron might not be a great shooter this season so far, but his decision making should be trusted by everyone and if he takes any shot, I have a good feeling about it

[@georgefehr624]

Ad is fragile injury prone its very difficult for him to stay healthy

[@icecoldac3]

💜💛🍻 If AR is realistically the 4th option on a Championship team, Lakers need to make a trade for the 3rd option while keeping AR. Zach Lavine is legitimately the only player that will move the gauge towards a Lakers championship. Reason being, his play making ability and shot creation. Honorable mention Cameron Johnson. 📌 PELINKA WATCH 👀

[@JourneytoJustice2024]

We need defense and Lavine doesn't provide Any!
