I have never seen such a relief from Lebrons shoulder. All his team mates are contributing and in rhythm.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

@@vaggelisdam1069 Lebron didn't have to do anything to win the game. Sure he had a casual 21, but all in the flow of the offense. I'm not saying he played badly, he was just seeing the young guys go and have a great night.

Rui and Reaves need to be Lakers for life. I hope Pelinka keeps both and also Vanderbilt because of his defense

[@jaycee3487]

Vanderbilt needs to take more charges , he needs to understand he can't block everything, also he needs to preserve energy he wastes too much hustling for nothing at times, I understand that's his character but the lakers are gonna need his off ball scoring more than anything

Hachimura and Reaves were on fire today. Finally the Lakers are playing as a real team. AD and Lebron were great defensively. With a game like this, I believe the Lakers can go very far and even claim the title. This could be the greatest comeback during the season in history. Let's go LAL!!!

I haven’t seen lebron standing in 3pt line with his hands ready to catch and shoot in multiple possesions ever in my life.

Lakers should depend more on Reaves than on D'Lo. He is really young and sturdy and always seems to really come alive in clutch time. D'Lo, while a good shooter and solid playmaker, is more like a supporting player.

We would really miss LeBron when He retires.

[@eivarlothbrok459]

it's a 50/50 look at what they did to the 19-20 lakers after winning a chip

[@ChennyBritt]

@@eivarlothbrok459 that was because they needed more offense. Making a trade was the right move but they traded for the wrong guy (Russ). But offensively they NEEDED to upgrade their ballhandling and shotmaking on the perimeter. Bron is 38 and AD is 30 with lots of injuries. People forget the generational offensive carry job those two did in 19/20. Relying on them to do it against is asking for them to get hurt.

[@CarlN-uw3hz]

There have been certain role players in the history of the NBA that you could count on to not mishandle the ball and odds favor them directly or assisting a score in the clutch...B Shaw, Ron Harper, A. Iguadala, etc. Reaves is one of those type of players. The guy just has ice water in his veins and ultimate confidence in himself. Lakers need to get a multi-year deal going with that guy before some other team recognizes he has that certain something many players don't.
