The Lakers entered play with a 230-0 record (including playoffs) when leading by at least 25 points in a game over the last 25 seasons.
They led by 26 tonight, their largest blown lead over that span. pic.twitter.com/2fd5GdH5Dd

That is my fundamental issue with this roster. Building any sort of Westbrook team, especially one with another high-usage ball-handler, is about finding specific sorts of players that work with him.
The Lakers, in part because of salary constraints, stacked redundant scorers. https://t.co/8zevU2QYae

They don’t. This Lakers roster as currently constructed is a bottom third defense https://t.co/KE0tuNV3J0

Great start to the season for Lakers rookie Austin Reaves. Proving he belongs on an NBA floor. Confidence has always been his best attribute. Didn't shy away vs Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament (27 PTS). Once went for 72 in a high school game. Film Session: https://t.co/hY0JWOUXLv pic.twitter.com/HWMdXDHhM8

🚨 Breaking: The NBA is preparing for a massive story accusing #Suns owner Robert Sarver of racism, sexism and sexual harassment in a series of incidents, sources say. With enough evidence to support such claims, there’s a real chance the league would forcibly remove Sarver.

Sixers President Daryl Morey to @MikeMiss25 on Ben Simmons
“You’re gonna think I’m kidding. I’m not. This could be four years”
Daryl says they are willing to put up with all of drama. They will either have Ben playing for Sixers or get a difference maker back in a trade pic.twitter.com/yDS9KPSrrD

Backstory: I remember this day so vividly. One of those Sunday matinee games at the garden. It was electric in there, he was putting on a show!! This was the first time he ever said anything to me on court. Felt I got his respect that day. There’s only one Mamba. 🙌🏾🙏🏾 https://t.co/XAJqN4b3zP

Kyrie Irving purportedly wants to be a “voice for the voiceless” – so why does this Athletic story fail to quote him and instead rely on anonymous sources who claim to know his thinking?
Did the Athletic even try for an interview with Kyrie, to pressure-test these claims? pic.twitter.com/j6kwElL8Z1
