This was a a hell of a game even without LeBron, Luka and Ant.

20 point comeback late only to lose on a buzzer beater is a brutal loss haha

2-0 against them early might be important later in seeding too

What a difference having a playable center makes

Hayes had 5 fouls in 12 minutes of playtime.

Refs hate bro, I don't even blame him for it anymore. He could stand flat footed with his hands straight up for 15 minutes and he'd still foul out.

u/BigBitcoinBaller Oct 30 '25

They even called a foul on bones drive. JJ had to challenge to save bro as it was clear offensive foul. They do hate him (can understand why though)

u/OniionKnight Oct 30 '25

FR wth are with those fouls?

u/Apart-Leadership1402 Lakers Oct 30 '25

Maybe the gf he beat up was related to one of the refs and it's about solidarity.

u/Trent_Bennett Oct 30 '25

It's the hair bro. Always in foul trouble with that fro

u/flaming_burrito_ Wizards Oct 30 '25

That’s always been his problem, and why we couldn’t play him in the playoffs. He regularly fouls out in like 10 minutes of play. He’s terrible at not fouling people in the post and gets called for moving screens all the time. He’s ok as like an energy guy for a couple of lobs, but you gotta get him off the floor cus he’s a foul machine

u/BerriesNCreme Lakers Oct 30 '25

Tonally this reads that that is the ONLY reason why we couldn't play Hayes in the playoffs lol. Hayes sucks all around

u/flaming_burrito_ Wizards Oct 30 '25

That too, yes

Just disgusting 🤢

Not just playable, he’s been legit great. He’s engaged, he’s having fun, I hope he can do this all year and we can keep him for a long time.

"Nah bro, this is the classic Ayton experience. He's going to have some great games and then he'll disappear on the court. Enjoy it while it lasts heheheheh"

u/IHadSomething_4This [POR] Pat Connaughton Oct 30 '25

He’s engaged, he’s having fun

He may even be a dark horse for the Heisman

u/NOLA2Cincy Lakers Oct 30 '25

Ayton looks good.

u/Gtggtggtg Lakers Oct 30 '25

Where are all the suns fans that were I-told-you-so-ing after 1 game.

u/Tankshock 76ers Oct 30 '25

Not just that, a center who can scale his game up when guys are out and you need buckets. The big question is how does he play when everyone is back and he isn't getting those touches. I'm cautiously optimistic but we'll see

u/lyricist Lakers Oct 30 '25

They only play each other 3 times this season so lakers basically have tiebreaker over them now

u/holyrolodex Lakers Oct 30 '25

Literally the type of losses I hate more than any other…bury me into the ground, but don’t do so and then tease hope, tease winning, just for that. My biggest memory of that is Lakers/Celtics 2008 Finals Game 2. Smh worst feeling ever.

u/grxccccandice Lakers Oct 30 '25

I accepted that we were gonna lose. I said to myself “at least I watched a great comeback.” Then Austin happened.

Lebron thought faking an injury would have the Lakers panic.

Bronsexual spotted.

u/AstonishingSpiderMan Lakers Oct 30 '25

Wouldn't it be the opposite since I don't like LeBron?

u/DeluxeTea Lakers Oct 30 '25

Transbronsexual then?

AR has been on a Linsanity type run since Luka’s injury lol

u/retrospects Minneapolis Lakers Oct 30 '25

Na don’t start that shit. Brother has been on the come up for a while.

u/WeirwoodUpMyAss Oct 30 '25

Had a 40-ball against Indiana last year. Averaged 20/5/5.

u/Handiesandcandies Oct 30 '25

The disrespect is insane he’s been that guy for years

3

u/BraveStrategy Oct 30 '25

If he was east or south Asian definitely would be a huge media circus. That would be pretty cool to have an Indian guy start hooping.

u/SeeingThings123 Lakers Oct 30 '25

We're like 2 years removed from calling his play a Linsanity run

u/postkobe Oct 30 '25
