This pretty perfectly sums up the game

Had this DM'ed to me. Can't help but wonder what was up with AD tonight.

I still haven’t stopped thinking about this play. Great pass from D’lo and then what in the world from Austin lmao

Listen to this. Incredible.

Standing ovation for Luka as his night is probably done. 45 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists on a night he began wiping tears from his face. Unbelievable performance.

In other news, I'm told Dalton Knecht approached the Lakers front office recently and has asked to be traded. It's expected they'll grant his wish. More here, for Offside:

OKC didn't come through, but if the Lakers handle business against Utah and Denver loses, they get the three seed. Still, give me the Rockets over the Wolves any day—chaos in Houston is LA's best path forward! 🏀🔥 (for Offside)

I'm told the Lakers feel like their chances at landing Giannis are being discounted. I try to explain why, including the tidbit that Giannis has them on his list of teams he'd like to play for and extend with. My latest, for JoinOffside:

But like… this isn’t X’s and O’s, lol

So I recorded today's show with my office door cracked open because my kids were eating in the next room and I wanted to make sure they were safe. My son then literally crashed through said door and it led to all of this.

Every game has become a referendum on Luka Doncic. I asked Daman Rangoola about whether #NicoWasRight, for JoinOffside

Sources: Austin Reaves underwent an MRI on his groin Wednesday that didn’t reveal significant damage. The Lakers are playing this situation safe and there’s optimism he’ll be good to play Monday in Charlotte. My JoinOffside report:

Jake LaRavia can. Shoot. Some questions about the athleticism and defense, but he could be a fire alarm shooter.

Made this because I miss these commercials

The Lakers traded Gabe Vincent for Luka Kennard and now all I can think about is them putting together the funniest lineup in quite some time. My Offside recap:

I have no clue how the Lakers pulled off that miracle comeback, but I’ll take a fun, stupid win to go up 3-0 any day! 💜🏀💛

Here's a question I have for the Lakers: Would you be this focused on the future if it was Kobe in this spot and not LeBron?

Based on what I'm hearing, here is the Lakers' to-do list for the deadline: 1. Pray Giannis isn't traded. 2. Line up Plan B options. 3. Shed salary/open a roster spot for the buyout market. My JoinOffside breakdown:

I legitimately feel like the league should make Ballmer sell the Clippers. There's no punishment he'll actually feel and he clearly doesn't care about cap rules.

Fireside chat time… Mark Walter is applying pressure to Rob Pelinka by way of success with the Dodgers, who just signed Kyle Tucker after winning two straight World Series. My latest, for JoinOffside:

Man. (via AD’s IG)

The update on Luka isn't worst-case scenario but it's damn near, and the ripple effects from it stretch incredibly far. My latest, for Offside:

JJ Redick on Luka being able to set aside the emotions and have the game he did. Suffice it to say he was impressed.

The other day, Hardwood Paroxysm and I tried to figure out how to actually punish the Clippers and I came up with an idea. What if they lower their cap numbers by $30M? (on top of the other stuff Matt mentions)
