WIN OR MY GRANDMA STAYS IN THE CAGE



Jazz is one of the teams I've always hated since I started watching basketball in the mid 90s.



Its become painful to see Pat Bev in this lineup ngl



Lakers vs. Jazz spread: Lakers -2.5

Jazz have been doing quite well for a team that is supposedly tanking. Markannen has been putting up all star level numbers.

Easy dub



As a team (6-3), they have been quite formidable. Ex-Laker Jordan Clarkson has played well also.
This should be an exciting fast paced game. The Jazz are 2nd in three pointers made therefore our perimeter defense has to be extra sharp tonight.
Utah has been a big surprise so far this season
The Jazz (6-3) has victories Denver, Minnesota, New Orleans and Memphis (twice).
The Jazz lead the league in points off turnovers and rank in the top five in made three-pointers, assists, and offensive rebounds.



Defense needs to encourage clarkson to shoot as much as possible



They should start Kendrick Nunn over Pat Bev



Needs to give Bron and AD rest nat game. Unlikely to win so they can recover better.



Win to save starving families



This jazz team is the epitome of mediocrity, we should walk this ****



If we can't beat Utah with no true Superstar, something is wrong this can't be Lakers basketball



We need to continue to win games like this. 3-5 if we win 2-6 if we lose. It doesn't seem like a big deal right now, but these easier home games now will not be so easy late in the season.

We're also healthy right now. Utah has a decent record, but we should be beating teams like this at home with Lebron/AD and WB as 6th man. Getting some solid team D. At some point we'll start to have situations where we won't have the same health from the stars. So we need to take advantage and win the games we should be at home.




i fully expect us to blow them out tonight
i know they are 6-3, but i don't think they are that good, in fact they were just 3-3 in their last 6.

probably the easiest or the 2nd easiest game so far. they gotta to win.




1st Half





Hate to see the lack of focus. Is Lebron tryin to lower the value of the team so he can buy it on the cheap?



Dropping 3s for days



Westbrook playing like prime Magic



I hate to say it but at this point in his career LeBron is literally a cone on defense



Nice seeing Bev hit a three. Anyone for that matter. TROY!



All this to beat Lauri Markkanen



HOLY**** man play some defense morons



THT STILL BRICKING I SEE



Put another Big please, Utah is destroying Lakers in the paint



**** going on with Bron?



The **** jazz coach looks like a little boy damn



Damn jazz have some length



This Utah team is incredibly annoying for being this good with the players they have



Utah absolutely finessed Minnesota



Does anyone still believe that

@KingJames

is still “the best player on the planet.” He’s kidding himself. Can’t shoot for s@#t. Not even the best player in LA.



Bruh that matt ryan 3 was insane until lebron fouled lmao



Bro JC is cooking us



Get LeBum off this team



Defense? You fools gave up 70 plus points in one half to this sorry *** jazz team lmao



The Lakers gave up 75 points in the 1st half. Tell me more about this "defense".



Brother the jazz can’t quite literally not miss a shot, nothing the lakers can do imo



WHY IS REAVES PLAYING SO MANY MINUTES. PAT BEV SHOULDNT EVEN SEE THE FLOOR. PELINKA REALLY TRADED FOR A BAG OF CHIPS BUT IS SCARED TO MAKE A TRADE THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP THE TEAM



Westbrook is just making things happen man. This is the Russ I think we were all hoping would show up last year. You love to see it.



Vanderbilt passing up a wide open layup for a 3 is what’s wrong with the 2022 NBA lmao



Honestly don’t know who to blame. Lebrón needs to do better tho



40 point 1st Q for the Jazz.



Just came in and all I see Is Bron complaining non stop ... Why the Fook do players do this? already at other end and he still complaining, what you think the Ref gonna change the call? F'ing hell!



LBJ near his twilight,should be in 2nd unit and let WestBro on starting unit with AD



Bruh why they hitting every three and what is up with these refs they giving the werid calls



Lebron looks awful to start the game. Seems like im saying that every game now.



These jazz are playing loose, they not scared at all



They just attack us inside, we are undersized



Oh that guy... on the jazz. I can't think of his name but he's been around forever I didn't know he was still in the league.



Damn, lebron hasn’t made a jump shot in 2 games now



Tonight’s Jazz team would sweep prime Golden State.



Russ playing well and Bron ain’t. Send Bron home for a week, he’s 37.



Lakers can't stop Jazz when enter to paint (speed), Lakers are losing the paints and again are failing to score from 2 & 3 field goals throws; team needs to improve defense if want to win this game, there is still time



I can't believe Cleveland let Sexton get away from them



This is such a bs start to the season for the Jazz. Very clearly anomalous shooting



Um...what percentage are the Jazz shooting, right now. Cause, I've never seen a team this hot, other than an on fire Warriors team...



They just running the same stuff against us over and over. We need to start switching.



Jazz clearly looking like the better team lol. It's not even close it feels like. We cant stop them.



Utah runs their offense so well



just spamming the same exact play and the Lakers still don't notice




Jazz just don’t miss. This is absolutely ridiculous.

If they are actually this consistent, then they deserve to be the best team in the league. This is absolute insanity.




Jazz is this good?



Man didn’t Rudy Gay play with Wilt…. man he’s been in the league forever



Of course Lakers letting Sexton look like the next coming of MJ out there



75 points in a half? Are they all doing lay up drills?



Well winning streak was good but now we’re back being bad



Jazz having a fluke shooting night at our expense.



I’m not having fun anymore



Utahs Mickey Mouse streak will end we got this



These mfers don’t miss



L. Markkanen is pretty good!



We are too small. They are running twin tower and olynx at the 3



Aww. They gave THT a little video screen tribute.



Utah just dropped 75 on us on our own home court. That is ridiculous. What a horrible half of basketball.

Lebron looks beyond cooked lately. Might be injuries and still feeling ill but it doesn't look good either way.



Lebron is full complain mode.



They’re shooting 60%, no ****ing way they can sustain those numbers. I ain’t worried. They’ll cool down.



Imagine scoring 62 in the half and still being down by 13...



Felt like Utah was shooting 80% from the field



Good lord. Hope they go cold after the half cause wtf



Utah spooky as ****. Someone hold me.



I hate when teams never miss, but to do for a whole half is just not fair.



“Whoever shoots below 70% pays for drinks”



Nah drug test the whole team wtf



Bro, we are going to lose by 50 at this point, I swear I can’t remember the last time a team shot this well. They could put a blind nun in the game with a jazz jersey and they would be 3/3 from 3



Clarkson always looks like he's on some kinda drug that puts him in a zone dancing to his own music.















2nd Half



Am I crazy to think eventually the Jazz shooting will come back to earth and we'll pull this off?



The way Lebron has been, dude looks like he needs to retire after this season.




Jazz exposing the living hell out of us. Olynyk of all people dominating.


Utah winning the pinball game. The scoring for Utah is like, ding, ding, ding...



Collin sexton annoys the crap out of me. Haha



Well, let’s hope they cool off, otherwise no one is beating them tonight



LeBron probably needs to take a nap after that move that took whatever little energy he had left



We have no idea of how to defend this team lol. Awful.



They are just better than us.

Easy to see why they have a great record.

The ball movement is just unstoppable.



Finally a call, and that was a bad call



WHY DO WE KEEP LEAVING KELLY OPEN!!??



No (bleep) they wont miss when they're getting practice shot 3s in the corner. Wtf kind of defense is that on Olynyk.




The Lakers are getting whatever they want on offense. Once the Jazz stop making their open shots the Lakers are going to blow this open.


Lakers playing great ball, Utah just making some tough *** shots god damn.



Lakers shooting 55% FGs, 43% from 3, 88% FT, and down double digits. :::sigh::::



So annoying. The first half effort beats like 20 teams



This starting lineup is so **** lmao. Pat Bev just out there doing choreo, hasn’t done **** all season. Trash *** mfer.



A team with no stars blowing the Lakers out, even though the layers are playing fairly well. It's just odd.



Joseph Smith be in these players



bruh i saw the score 95-89 and thought the game was almost over but we're still in the 3rd!



Well, this is the best game Russ has played in a Lakers jersey



22 second chance points because they're ****ing trees and they're hitting 46% from 3. Like how do you play against a team like this?



damn, Lauri's clamping everyone on defense



That Conley ******** 3 sealed it



You stare too long at this fool Markkanen, it’s a automatic foul smh



so are the Jazz just basically like 1 superstar away from winning multiple titles or something?



Another one, these guys ate something right tonight, that was contested too



no miss November



Russ is going Steph tonight and we are still down




key to the game is sitting Lebron


I couldn't tell you about one positive play from AD this half.



Lakers are in full control of this game now.



We ain't getting tacos



Brown can’t get beat off the dribble by NAW. You dare that guy to jack up step backs and jumpers because he loves them so much and he sucks at them even more than he loves them.



Alright only down 5 going in to 4th. Please come out with fire.



I don't get how we are losing to this team.

Dream team or this jazz team? Who wins?



Jazz must be wearing that mormon magic underwear or some **** to be shooting this well.



Man. Jazz have these jabroni chuckers who just chuck shots unconsciously.



They are making some wild out of control plays



Jazz have players who were selected based on the needs of the 2022 NBA.



All of a sudden THT is a 3 point sniper. Give me a fckn break



The annoying part about this game is that this is our best offensive performance of the year and yet the Jazz decide to just make every shot



Jazz playing very well, such a smooth offense. Good test for the defense because there is no one to really key on



Lakers are really about to waste their best 3pt shooting game and Westbrooks excellent game



Laker girls need a better dance choreographer. That's some basic ****



Jazz selling their souls. Making every shot for a game in November

Sounds about a small market team playing in LA





This jazz team looks so good tonight not gonna lie, it feels like we have absolutely no room for error or else they burn us



Dang it, we don't need Former Laker Syndrome showing up. First Clarkson, then THT



THT and NAW hitting threes is super irritating



1 guy getting the rebound against 3 lakers.



Ok, this is depressing as (bleep), they just hit 3 after 3



We really need this game. Russell not gonna be happy coming off the bench and we’re still losing. Lebron needs to figure his (bleep) out because this L is on him. He plays halfway decent and we win easily



Father Time seems to be beating up Lebron this year.




Russell looks like OKC Russ tonight and Lebron regresses. Bad luck.

Can’t have both of them go off together???


You just made my point. Lebron is having if not the worst, one of the baddest game in his life and we are in game despite that 3 pt shooting. Even THT has a 3.



So is Lauri just the best player in the league right now?



What can we do?

This can’t be fixed.




If only LeBron got the same whistle as Alexander- Walker..

These 7 fters aren't just 7 feet. They move well and have some touch.
Jazz made off like bandits this last offseason.


I could be convinced to trade both picks for Markkanen and Clarkson lol

No more ball hogging or ego from Donovan Mitchell.

3 level scores at all 5 positions plus the offensive movement/moments keeps team on there heels. Really good regular season team. I can see them winning 45 plus

Lebron has been unplayable today. He’s been mediocre by his standards all season, but today is really, really bad.




Seems like no Laker can score from in close and the Jazz on a layup drill.



Someone got pissed when I pointed out how CJ blocked LBJ but now Lauri blocked him.



I actually thought we turned the corner after the last couple of wins. Jokes on me.



Jazz offense is good though, ball movement is great, they just keep passing until someone is open



Lol of course Conley kills us



Russ single handedly gets the lead down to 2.

Then we let a scrub like Walker Alexander come in and instantly drop 8-10 points on us.



Pat Bev is a liability to the team...have to play exceptional defense with rebounds or assists close to double digits to cover for no offense.

Trade him and Nunn for Turner...include 1FRP



130 points on the no. 2 defense in the league. Wtf Utah



Lauri Bird whispered in LeBron's ear "I'm going to make my way to the left elbow and make a step back J in your face." He did it like the gigachad he is and then followed it up w/ "It's my time now, bitch"



**** Olynyk long haired bitch mfer



This isn’t even terrible defense, they just literally aren’t missing



So ****ing annoying when clowns get hot against us



never seen a team make so many ******** shots



jazz lineup is way too big. lakers need another big that can play



This **** isnt fair the Jazz are just stacking 7 footers t every position



Jazz are like, if your white and 7 feet tall you’re playing for us, any position Idgaf

The Ivory Connection



These mother****ers just dont miss man

Its like Linsanity but its an entire team, **** the jazz man



What the **** are these shooting numbers? Christ they aren't missing a ****ing thing.



We played so good but the Jazz just don’t miss



Utah is ****ing good. Goddamnit.

We’re not even playing bad defense. They’re all just playing full out and moving. LeBron is not good to start this year either.



Im not even mad if we lose. Dirk nowitzki and dirk nowitzki cant ****ing miss tonkght



Gotta give it to the Jazz, they are offensively unreal.



that's it! im watching ancient aliens


How is mike Conley blowing by defenders



Lmao they were getting held off by Rudy and Mitchell this is the best team ever



Mike Conley has played like a pensioner but suddenly looks like Memphis Mike Conley today lol.



How the heck have they taken 22 more field goals than the lakers????



We disrespected the jazz. They killed us with 3 point shots and literally got into the paint at will.



**** it. Trade lebron + Ad + Russ + jeanie + that guy that took the half court shot during the break



AD can't score over Utah's bigs...how sad



I say this every time we play him but I saw Colin sexton almost beat a division 1 ncaa team 3v5 live

It was so crazy



They should suck why are they good?



This Jazz team beat Memphis 2x back to back this season. They're that good while coming out of the offseason with all those picks lmao.



This Jazz team don’t make sense being this good



Damn the jazz are annoyingly efficient on offense



BRUH. Clarkson playing like his life on the line



Every team needs a guy who's strictly just buckets and Clarkson is him



NO SHOT AD CANT GUARD THE CORPSE OF MIKE CONLEY. THE DUDE IS 6ft tall AD BRUH



Why are the Jazz always so organized, cohesive and play so hard and efficient?? Its not talent. Its coaching and putting the right pieces together. Salt Lake City, Utah. A ****** little city better run than the LA Lakers. Who woulda thought



It's weird watching a team of basically nobodies playing this well together.



jazz have missed like maybe 5 shots so far. How tf this team doing this



Jazz have worst team hairstyles in the West.



Jazz players are literally robotic. Just automatic with every shot :(



50 year old Mike Conley out there looking like the flash bruh



Entire Jazz team should be in the 3 point contest/s



The jazz head coach looks like on of those dudes who go door to door in a jacket and tie spreading the word of god



The jazz head coach looks like on of those dudes who go door to door in a jacket and tie spreading the word of god



Even olyniks bum *** can’t miss

And we can’t even find ONE shooter , and these teams have multiple shooters



OMGG. SEXTON GIVING IT TO US HARD



We could basically have a lot of what this 7-3 Jazz team has plus AD and LeBron James….but Rob and Jeanie wouldn’t do it….what nonsense.



Why did we trade Clarkson again?



I’m not even mad. I just don’t understand lol



What is going on? Every time Jazz miss, they get their own rebound and score anyway. Impossible to catch up.



Why is Vanderbilt constantly crashing on the floor



Getting blown out on our best 3 point percentage night.



Jazz might **** around and be a first seed since they have the best offense in the league it seems



THT just driving the dagger into my heart, kill me.



Yep that’s game.. they haven’t missed and we have no one that can guard Sexton



CAN THEY ****ING MISS HOLY ****



Dude they are not ****ing missing, wtf! If they even have an average night, Lakers would be pulling away right now. Oh well, Lakers playing amazing though



Utah, you gonna embrace the tank or what?



**** bro this jazz team is good



How is Rudy Gay still in the league bro



Always great to see Westbrook leading the +/- for the lakers at -1. Mvp of the team, while he plays, his team barely loses.



Sometimes you play good but the other team plays better. Happens but I like what we're seeing from the Lakers. Team is buying into Ham's way and they loo much better.
 
“This jazz team is the epitome of mediocrity, we should walk this ****”

If we’re mediocre, what does that make you?

“If we can't beat Utah with no true Superstar, something is wrong this can't be Lakers basketball”

We got Superstars in the making, you got living legends that are resting on their laurels.
 
This jazz team is the epitome of mediocrity, we should walk this ****
What does that make the Lakers?
Finally a call, and that was a bad call
Your crappy team shot 18 mor ft’s than us!! The hell you talking about?
22 second chance points because they're ****ing trees and they're hitting 46% from 3. Like how do you play against a team like this?
Lay down and die!!
So ****ing annoying when clowns get hot against us
Lakers have been the clowns the last two years and playing like it now.
Its like Linsanity but its an entire team, **** the jazz man
Just awesome!!!!!
 
Why are fans still surprised that our offense is killing it? Our offense has been great for at least 3 years now. Probably longer tbh. The issue in the Spida era was never the offense. It’s always been the perimeter defense. In this post Spida era, we may lack a superstar but the offense is just as crisp and sharpshooting as Q’s offense ever was. Do Lakers fans watch any basketball?
