Orlando beats Bucks, 110-94.

Led by as much as 22 points.

Solid effort across the board. Everyone was producing. Many had double figures.

Great game. Good win.

Lakers win 103-95 😊

Led by Pau Gasol's 36 points. He's awesome. Lamar made some key rebounds down the stretch

Kobe tweaked his ankle

two good victories

Indeed

Problem is, I bet Cleveland will go undefeated the rest of the year and Lakers will finish at most a game behind giving Cavs homecourt throughout.

It was good to see LeBron get dropped last night. He's had it too easy. Teams need to stop giving him points and make him earn them.

The Lakers shouldn't have lost the game vs Philly. That's the game they trail Cleveland. Every team that beats the Lakers lose two or three in a row

Cleveland has a back to back coming up so for Lakers fans; Maybe they will lose

Good win last nite. Pau was incredible. D-Fish was on fire. Lamar...great down the stretch. Trevor was his usual...tough defense and made some jumpers

The highlights didn't show Lebron get smacked

When is it ever good to see a player get dropped? I understand why they did it but not sure I can condone it.

Only game I see Cavs losing is one they have in Orlando coming up. The rest look like wins.

I'll be pissed if Kobe doesn't play Sunday against the Hawks. I'm going to that game.

Kobe is a warrior

He should play

Kobe will play..

I agree with you and the Cavs possibly losing to the Magic

Kobe's "gametime decision" which probably means he'll play.

Lakers lose 🙁

Totally disgusted at the way they played. 3 pointer after 3 pointer

Pau is goin well(58% FG) and he gets less than 10 touches. That's terrrible. Kobe and Lamar cold

Bout the bench. Luke is the only one playing well. Jordan made a dumb play on a fast break. And 🤨 is Sasha still playing constantly missing shots. I don't get it

Year after Year they get players and don't use em. Give Morrison a god damm chance

Tuesday vs Bobcats. Hopefully, someone guards Rad. Look at wat former Laker Mo did today. Geez

Im with ya bro, the Lakers sucked the big one today. They just dont look like a team that is hungry and thats disturbing for this time of the season. No matter how badly we might play offensively we have enough talent on this team to be a dominant defensive team, unfortunately that takes more effort than we seem willing to put forth.
Why we continue to ignore Gasol when he is shooting such a high percentage is beyond me, not only is he converting at a high clip he finds the open man when he is doubled every time.
Kobe looks gassed, but he needs to realise that and play off of others. If he works off the ball then not only is he conserving energy, but everyone is touching the ball and the defense has to constantly shift and open up gaps. Lamar was terrible as well, that 3 he missed when we were making a run in the 4th was a real momentum swing.
We need to shake the bench up, Sasha and Farmar need to know that if they keep stinking up the joint then they will have their minutes cut. Seriously can Brown and Morrison be any worse? I'd like to at least see for myself. So what if they dont know the offense that well, Sasha and Farmar aren't running it anyway and Brown is a hell of a lot better on defense.
Its a shame we can find so many faults with a team with such a great record and the fact is we have won the big games when we have needed to. But we still have yet to find a killer instinct and we need to stop playing down to our competition.

Ditto.

Doesn't matter, we're not catching Cleveland thanks to Sunday's loss.
