Dwight said he was told he wasnโt going to playโฆ said he was down but stayed readyโฆ he played 35 minutes and went for 12/13 with 2 blocks thatโs a pro
Avery Bradley battled injuries after his strong year in 16 heโs now in shape and shed the 40 extra pounds he had w Clipps...he has a lot to prove at 28 he said..I will post later Laker fans will love his attitude...btw off camera he said Boogie is in shape been texting him a lot
Lakers Celtics rivalry head to head belonged to Lakers over the last 4 Decades
80s Lakers 22-17
90s Lakers 10-8
2000s Lakers 14-11
2010s Lakers 15-12
Lakers have won last 3/4 matchups NBA Finals as well
Wanted to say congrats to all Celtics fans on 23-18 in the 70s
@NBAonTNT
Lebron speaking with media said he saw THT play about 4 years ago, caught one of his games in high school and told Rich Paul his agent you need to take a look at this kid he can play
This is the best news Laker fans can ever get..... it means the Lakers are really good again...... when you suck nobody cares about you or thinks about you... actually when the Lakers were down everyone still obsessed over them... thats respect earned tho over time and titles
I would put Caruso in right now if he was available to play for the Dodgers.... I just assume he would do something positive and it would equate to a Win

โฆour favorite โฆ Thanks for being a Twitter hero, leading the Lakers to summer league title, being a great story on a 2 way contract, becoming a key role player on championship team & just being awesome โฆ now youโre getting rewarded!! LA always got your back
Laker fans at 33-7 and on a 9 game win streak do these games
1- entertain the sh*# out of you
2-make you panic and miserable
3-make you angry
4-chill af cuz itโs the NBA and this is January
Week after Kobe passed... my daughter playing VB tourney.. wearing

Feels really good... i have been alive for 11 of them..... so Iโm up 11-1 on you in terms of watching and raging after my team wins a title.... but i know those 11 you had before 1969 are near and dear to your heart even tho you werenโt born yet
Beyond devastated.... on air with James, Rob, and Allie... you donโt ever Practice these days or ever want to think of them... especially when itโs someone you know and love ... appreciate all the tweets and for going through this with us

Last year Lakers lost 4 in a row and ended the skid against Portland late December of โ19..... tonight they did the same thing
A win for the legend

@Lakers
Marc Gasol playing great tonight... heโs a pro, and understands where he is in his career... picked up the phone tonight and answered the call
5 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1/1 from 3
Alex Caruso is a winner .... if you donโt see it I canโt help you... there is a reason you never even won a little league title at Reseda Park or wherever you grew up
Some of you were maybe too young and others may have forgotten and itโs now coming back to you...that exciting, die on every possession excruciating feeling, frustration, yelling with joy and anger...yeah thatโs an NBA Finals feeling
So strap in, hold on, donโt panic and letโs go
Never forget this night.... one of the best of my professional career and the most insane performances I ever saw in person.... this hug is still in my twitter wallpaper and itโs staying forever
Iโve often said for you younger fans who didnโt see the 3 Peat era that the Lakers Portland WC Finals series should be a 30 for 30...Tonight Game 7....the 15 point 4th Q comeback is on ...its cut down to an hour version โTimeless Lakers Compactoโ at 730 on

WATCH IT!
Love the way
@kylekuzma
has looked this preseason.... so under control, feet set on the 3โs making 8/15... also his decision making, he had 4 assists game 1 then 5 assists on Sunday
Kobe was ours...he came to us at 17 and left dropping 60 20 years later... for 20 years we knew he would bring it every night, through triumphs and failures, from air balls to scoring 81....the legacy is all around us.... he was ours ...here is our tribute

@ACFresh21
.. youโre seeing it... 3/3 in his first ever Finals... including a 3 and a ๐จ.. playing D causing havoc, setting screens, cutting... making winning plays...come on now, the bald ๐ฆ born for this sh%# so donโt ask no more
Kuz putting the crown back on
@KingJames
head..... if I had a vote he would be the MVP, whatโs heโs doing in year 17 is a joke.... Giannis, Harden, Kawhi, AD all in the convo but nobody impacts a team like LBJ .... itโs insane to watch on a nightly basis
Lot of people asking about Boogie looking slim.... no doubt ๐ฏ% it was the first thing I noticed.... lean and in shape... I know some peops in his camp, former point guard of mine, told me heโs been grinding and is motivated big time.... Big year for Boogie
Marc Gasol was the 11th man off the bench tonight for the Lakers... came in late 2nd quarter... thatโs the definition of โstay ready so i donโt gotta get readyโ
Thatโs a pro
When KCP plays well this Laker team just looks different... Itโs not all on him to be clear .... but the difference in this team when he plays fast, efficient, hits a couple 3s is crazy .... when heโs confident in his game it just changes things
Hereโs the thing about
@Dame_Lillard
.. I say it on our shows.. Everyone wishes he was on their team, love him to be a Laker ...1 of my favs to watch, and from his 1st preseason game vs LA his rookie year you saw it in him...so did Kobe.. baller, killer, loyal donโt take no sh%t
Man Iโm having fun.... Lakers are must see tv again!!! We are going nuts in studio like never before... easy to root for this team... i should host the sh#% out of this tonight
I have no pull with the league or really anything for that matter.... but if I did...
#LakeShow
would be rolling Mamba Jerseys on Friday
I know
@OsheaJacksonJr
