What are your predictions? Go Lakers!

No Booker and perhaps no Green...

They will be lucky to score more than 100 against any team give that due is out...

Lakers up by nine thanks to LeBron and Kennard. They both have played really good. But I hate to complain so much about LaRavia, but he is doing it again tonight's game. He has scored zero for the first half. He does not even attempt to set himself to make a play.

Glad Smart is back playing tonight.

Need some offense from Bronny and Smith Jr, help the older folks a little.

Lakers have done a good job in the second half limiting second chance points. Up comfortably now 79-60.

Great game by LeBron and the rest of the players. Lakers win big. I really liked the way LeBron was getting everybody involved on driving and dunking the ball. JJ finally played Knecht 4 minutes and he played real good on defense and scored five points. Hit a three and a made both of his shots when they fouled him.

One more game with the Jazz for the final game of the regular season. But I think they said that the Lakers clinched home court for the first game of the playoffs.

Bufkin waived to ready the team to bring in a scorer.

That must hurt. Bufkin was averaging 27ppg in the G League and 3ppg in the NBA.

That's gonna sting for the rest of his life... He had his chance but was never given the opportunity to remain in the flow of any of the games which is essential for some players to play well.

I'm terrified they might bring in Chris Paul!

If all they need is offense, get Cam Thomas...

I’ve read that Jrue Holiday is a possibility? We may be overthinking this and they purely did this for money reason, but I have been reading a lot of names. Yes, Paul is one of them.
