White was there

Jak needs to quit being such a big pussy.

DeRozan got lucky that KCP twisted his ankle there, he was getting burnt for the 3rd straight possession. We really need to trade his ass before his shitty habits translate to the young cubs.

He will be fine.

I’d rather see White or Devin guard AD. Someone needs to save Poetl from himself. He’s absolute dogshit on both ends of the floor.

Man Keldon is gonna be a damn good player once he adds to his offense a little bit. Poetl a complete disaster today. Fucking up left and right lol. Our bigs sucks big time.

Tied for leading scorer against the defending champs... Not bad for the 29th pick

Is KCP a Klutch client? Just wondering why Murray would be over there.

KCP and Dejounte are both part of Klutch sports. So I'm sure they know each other and are probably acquaintances.

Its his Klutch brother :cry

Can someone explain to me why Luka was drafted before Keldon?

Schroeder dieded too.

Keldon's 3 ball looks so smooth.

KJ and Demar onfire

2006 Michael Finley does it again.

because his name is Luka.

KJ is such a confident, young gay man. Love it.

Surprised that Hack a Jak isn’t a thing yet. That guy’s free throws are abysmal.

I mean, I'm glad DDR is hitting threes, but damn what took him this long to become a gunner? Those makes have looked very clean.

Because he's supposed to have a higher ceiling.

Keldon matches well against LeBron. Too bad no one left to guard AD.

Lakers whine a lot

Signature White Charge baby!!

But even watching the video out there of their pre-draft game, it seemed quite clear Keldon had more talent and upside. Every mock had Keldon going before him.

Matches well against the best player in the league??? WHAT

Davis tripped on his own. Entitled maggot. Right in front of the ref.

He just tripped.

Contract year.

Refs realize they need to start helping the Lakers again...

We have the most offensively inept bigs in the league.

Playoff atmosphere right now...

Eubanks sucks so bad. :lol

Gay (Rudy) is the best David defender

Eubanks and Poeltl = sad

Not the SpursTalk mock.

Luka Samanic Best Case: Athletic Hedo Turkoglu
Keldon Johnson Best Case: 2006 Michael Finley

:lol Lakerfan hyping up Horton-Tucker

Even their little guys can guard our bigs lol

Damn, it's hard to score much when the Spurs seem like they're playing 4 on 5 on offense. Poeltl and Eubanks have been so useless on that end.

4 on 8 actually as the Lakers have the refs as well lol

I don't understand why LMA can't just play similar to how Rudy plays...moves around enough to find shots on the court...gets into open spaces in the defense...makes a decent attempt to post smaller players...

If LMA could just play this way the Spurs would be so much better...I wouldn't even care if he shot poorly at least he would be moving and making the other team defend him all over the floor, which would generate offense for others

He lives upstairs from you.

:lol jesus christ, it's an absolute miracle that the Spurs are in it with Eubanks seeing these many minutes.

But I was told it was so obvious that Poetl has worked hard on his offensive game :lol

9 million a year for a back up center :lol

Spurs’ offense has stagnated. Really ugly right now.

The way Johnson plays, he should be shooting 13 fits a game.

Contract year :makemyday

Gay is horrible tonight.

eubanks playing well defensively

I like Eubanks. I think he's playing hard and doing his best.

Eubanks is playing well for what he is (3rd stringer). He's doing good things on D.

Wow. Murray shades of Parker :wow

LONNIE

DEJOUNTE

LONNIE

DEJOUNTE AGAIN

HYDRA ATTACK BABY
Chinook

They're showing heart out there.

Another moral victory incoming?

For what he's paid, you can't complain too much. Poeltl makes almost 10 mil a year. No excuse to be shooting 0% from the free throw line.

+1

Poeltl is an elite defensive presence. Focus on what he's there for, not his FTs.

KELDON FUCKING JOHNSON!

Drew fell and he was the one charged with the foul? :lol

Harrell through Eubanks down and they called it a foul the other way. Lol

That was a foul? I guess you can no longer establish position against the Lakers

Big Body :cry

I would have been okay with a no-call there, but offensive foul on Eubanks? Good lord.

Lakerrefs not fucking around again.

How can anyone be upset with this team win or lose???

Both Jak and Drew are great on D and even setting screens on O, but they are putrid with the ball in their hands.

This is KELDON'S BREAKOUT GAME BABY

I'M HERE FOR IT

impressive stuff

His coming out of the closet game, imo.

NBA TV interrupting the game to show Wizards highlights...

Its 5 on 8 but fk it lets get this!!!

Is Jakob gonna play again tonight lol

Gay at center. Let's see how it goes. I'm not feeling confident, tbh.

This would be a huge W for the young guys confidence and swagger.

damn we needed that 3

Did Lonnie just turn down a wide open layup.

White should be closing this game, not Patty.

Boneheaded defensive play by DeMar.. even he knew it. Damnit

David dominating th offensive glass, as expected.

Shit, thought this game was in LA since the last one was here and just switched the game on thinking I would catch a few minutes of pregame :lol

Lmao come on Rudy!

Lonnie can be really low IQ at times, which is why I'm not too high on him.
