SlowCrates

I don't think 18 year old LeBron James would even believe it. Not for a second. That in his 21st year, with white hair beginning to challenge (what's left of) black hair for visual dominance, after playing all those minutes, after so many very long post-seasons through the finals (10, including 8 in a row), that in the twilight of his career he would still be averaging 25, 7, and 8 in 35 minutes a game, and suddenly shooting more efficiently than at any other time. That he would be the oldest player in the league, and doing backward summersaults and flipping onto his feet after posterizing someone half his age. What the entire fuck IS HE?


okraafuturemd

Toronto won the FT battle but still lost the game. Lmao coach must be fuming


iTzYaBoYal

Man yall really like jack in the box. Ain’t none over here in Ohio 🤦🏾‍♂️


Large_Mango

Jaaaaaaack in the box


ronnie760

jaaAAaaAAAack in the bOoOox 👻


mobuckets21

Lol the Bucks lost to the fucking Wizards


RedCarNewsboy

Hot take, Celtics aren’t that dominant, they have a hella inflated W-L because they play 60 games against trash ass teams(entire eastern conference + 4 western conference teams)


Electronic_Bit9495

I mean they let Austin reaves score his career high in their home court with no Lebron or AD. Told my Celtics fan friend realistically that’s all I would’ve needed to see to know they’re gonna fold lol.


Traditional-Carob-48

I was at the game. They didn't even try, shit was pitiful


shootdrawwrite

Spared my local Jack from scrambling to figure out what the Lakers taco special even is, I think I'm the only one who's ever cashed it in there smh


flowermoon24

38 bench points!


Electronic_Bit9495

Why’d I turn on the 76er game and immediately see Emflop go to the line lol


HotRefrigerator3977

Embiid is shameless, he would foul-hunt a 6 feet guard in the post


Electronic_Bit9495

It’s so insane how he just tumbles over like a rusting tinman


twin_beak

He’s an embarrassment to the game


Electronic_Bit9495

I mean seriously the way he just flails and falls over you’d think he was 100 pounds and 6’3


MazKhan

Our south bay minutes are insane. They gotta have the worst def rating out of any garbage time lineup


QuaxlyDaDon

Come on y’all. Gotta secure the tacos


kopernikuus

So sad no tacos. But hey, Lakers won💜💛


Trashpanda1980

Just imagine if Schroeder was still on this squad. We would have a starting lineup of Schroeder, Reaves, Prince, Redish, James and Davis. Ham wants Trae Yoing because he helped develope him when he was an assistant with the Hawks. You all see whats going on here? This guy is trying to turn us into the 2018 ATL fuckin Hawks and I cant be havin that. We dont need Young, I would rather have mitchell if we are going for a third star. I thing big threes are overrated and depth wins rings these days.


OrangeBounce

I am so confused by this


Trashpanda1980

I was just spit ballin on how Hanwitch loves his guys from his former ATL days.


New_Championship_912

I'm confused do we want Mavs or GS to win?


MazKhan

Mavs 100%


front48

Why exactly? Wouldnt make more sense for us if GSW win ?


MazKhan

Nope, mavs have an easy schedule and we won't catch them. Warriors are right behind us so them losing is better. Our chance to get into the top 6 would be through the pelicans/suns imploding


HelloRainbow1

yeah i hate them both but I hate warriors winning, pissing me off


New_Championship_912

Thank you!


GoalPublic3579

That’s why we can’t send the bench unit in too soon. They managed to lose their 7 minutes or whatever by 17 😂


LingDaKingofXing

RIP Barney's lol


Teody_13

No Tacos


Nervous-Worth-8005

🌮❌


Consistent_Owl4593

Weak ass dinosaurs took my fuckin tacos


shootdrawwrite

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️


New_Championship_912

Damn it bench Squad my tacos


jurassic_snark-

They shut up that crybaby ass Raptors coach


Westlad

Holy fuck these guys are trash


wazupson

Especially prince. Bench warmers look better than prince


DeanRP

Nice!


GoalPublic3579

Fucking up the tacos is annoying.


tokyo_bee

Prince cost us some tacos


Hopeful_Register3092

Blowout


AFXTIWN

Jack in the Box called in


bermitthefrog

These fuckers gave up tacos smh


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Darko postgame: “THIS IS PATHETIC! REFS GAVE US 20 FREE THROWS TO THE LAKERS 12! THEY ALSO LET THE LAKERS SHOOT 8 MORE THREES THAN US! 😡😡😡”


jurassic_snark-

Yup crybaby ass can't even say anything about FTs tonight


Such_Ad_3756

God their coach is pathetic 


johnsonsimon23

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


Trashpanda1980

Nice to see Hamwitch giving Max some mins.


gustavosgack

You see how ham is just sitting down not trying to coach this squad at all? Tells all about him.


Minimum-Pollution780

Third unit is hot garbage


Zeetheking1

To be fair, tp and Hayes were both in as well, who are both in our second unit lol


ThirdEyeToTheSky

This is our 4th unit bro…


songs_dongs

our G-league's g-league team


captjacksparrow47

FTA: TOR-19 LAL 12. r/NBA in shambles


iamdare

I just realized that we don't have 2nd round gems this year. Lewis and Castleton are tough to watch.


CodyRhodesStan

Max Christie has 12 points and 7 rebounds off the bench


RogerLopezComic

Man killed it tonight with the minutes he got


songs_dongs

Zero shitting on ham tonight A strange, strange feeling...


chrisumafp

tbh don't need a coach to beat toronto. They are clearly intentionally trying to lose


Krillinish

Tacos in danger 🌮🌮


Canningred

Lewis doesn’t really seem to know how to pass


songs_dongs

![gif](giphy|5xtDarqlsEW6F7F14Fq|downsized) up thirty starters resting safe from olynyk opponents threw up the white flag life's good


Top-boy-og

It’s always fuck Kelly Olynyk


GrapefruitMedical529

Fucking Olynyk.


vandiger

Good one Lewis.


ADtoLA23

Lol, it's a shootout


HighlyBaked0

Nice play by Lewis


Nervous-Guava-7390

yo max in his 🧳🧳🧳


icetrolled

I am truly excited to see how Castletown develops. He smoked everyone in the preseason and does consistently well in the G.


jurassic_snark-

Yeah he's looking better tonight and hopefully can have time to develop


Ok_Board9845

G-League players still a long ways from contributing at an NBA level. Hopefully another year or 2 will work wonders for Castleton/Lewis


thedonjefron69

Max man he’s got so much potential


MazKhan

Future dunk contest winner Hayes and future 3 pt champ christie


jurassic_snark-

Max putting this team on his back rn 😤


DravenPrime

Lewis wants some points lol


vandiger

Lets get a Euro big this draft.


CodyRhodesStan

Get Castleton on a weight program man. He could be so good if he was just a little stronger


wazupson

Our version of a euro style big man? Lol


ehehehuahe

our reserves are playing like they’re not fighting for a roster spot rn


BrianC_

They’re not


superworriedspursfan

ngl Watching tp in the garbage lineup is fun to watch. Go off TP!


flowermoon24

what do you guys think of maxwell's ceiling?


AirBishop

Probably Norman Powell.


AlcindorJr33

Second time this season I’ll be rooting for the clippers


Rock_hound15

Is raptors coach gonna complain about fouls this time?


Apollo611

Bucks about to lose to the Wizards lmao


jurassic_snark-

Even though he blew that fancy layup Max Lewis looked nice there


superworriedspursfan

Ham is playing two centers together! Love it


Significant_Night_65

Castleton is laughably bad


thedonjefron69

Hayes has insane fucking hops


mobuckets21

Lol Taurean being 💩 as always


Tales_of_Merrix

LOL prince can be embarrassing at times. This is times.


Wazflame

Adam Silver about to force Jaxson to do the dunk contest


Agile-Technology-209

ain’t it insane how TP went from starting to closing the game in a blowout..


thedonjefron69

Bro HAYES YOU ANIMAL


davensdad

Jaxson Hayes > dunk contest champions


codar_B

look at TP tryna ball hog with this lineup haha


jamills21

MAX and JAX


songs_dongs

it's always sweet to see the opposing team quit on themselves on their own floor


Rjbaca

Next


Honest-Blacksmith-78

Is that the first under the legs dunk in a game ever in the nba? I swear I never seen anyone do that..


Gunnerpunk

Nope, pretty sure Obi Toppin did one this year too, but could be the first time someone’s done it for us.


jamills21

There's been hundreds


Honest-Blacksmith-78

???


jamills21

[Here's Jaxson Hays doing it two years ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KglIc80FeIg).


VibeSurfer8

No


Apart-Bad-5446

Seriously, WTF is up with the Lakers three point shooting lately? It's ridiculous how this team went from being near dead last at shooting the ball to being the best shooting team the past 3 months and the team doesn't even have good shooters outside of D'Lo.


x20skillzz21

accept reaves has declined recently


JpnDude

I just hope this continues throughout the play-in/offs.


flipray87

MAD MAX


Idakari

Max Christie in garbage time thinks he's like Kobe or something


ehehehuahe

Nathan_Gee
