While the competition was terrible, it was still good to see the Lakers’ starting lineup for the fist round of the playoffs get off to a sizzling start. The way the Lakers played these last three games is encouraging. It would be a shame if we actually win the first round but Luka and Austin can’t come back for second round. Just happy to have hope still alive. Yes, I believe in miracles.

Good to see 4 of the 5 starters as the best players the last 3 games. The other starter, Smart, looked good last night and should solidify what’s been an excellent defensive team the last 3 games. It will be tough but I think we can beat the Rockets if we can just score enough points to support our defense.

Investing in assistant coaches to work five days a week 8 hours a day with Dalton Knecht and Adou Thiero would be a smart move by Lakers. It’s where Mark Walter’s money can make a difference.
I would like to see an effort to rehabilitate Dalton Knecht. What he went through was hell and obviously affected his confidence. But we saw a shooting talent that could be a valuable rotation player in this league if he couldn’t improve on defense. And if he could get his confidence back and improve on defense, he would be an excellent rotation player or trading chip.
Every young player on the Lakers )except for Luka and LeBron) should get their own summer coach and schedule to make sure they’re investing in their own and their team’s future.

JJ Redick has done a great job getting the Lakers without Luka and Austin ready to go into the playoffs with a LeBron James centric offense and defense that’s playing extremely well the last 3 games although against spotty competition.
Most impressed with how the defense has looked, which could even be better without Luka and Austin, who were two of the team’s weakest defenders. We lucked out and now face the Rockets, which gives us a better shot at winning first round and buying time for Luka and Austin to get healthy.

I really like this lineup and think they have a good long shot chance of upsetting the Rockets in the first round. Would be great if Luka and/or Austin could make it back for the second half of the first round. Lakers will need a miracle to go deep into the playoffs but maybe that’s just what the basketball gods have ordered.

Glad we are playing the Rockets in the first round. Much better opponent for us than the Timberwolves, who have Ant Man and two elite defenders in Gobert and McDaniels. Lakers are 5.5 underdogs in Game 1 and 2.5 underdogs for series. NY Times writers for Lakers predict Rockets in 6 while Houston writer predicts gentlemen’s sweep Rockets in 5.

SMART MOVE BY LAKERS TO ADD NICK SMITH JR!This not only gives the Lakers another guard but also another high percentage 3-point shooter. Like Luke Kennard, Nick Smith Jr should bolster the Lakers' improved 3-point shooting attack and give them another guard for their backcourt… https://t.co/bmPXHrcp1T pic.twitter.com/l5ffS7G3VJ— LakerTom (@LakerTom) April 12, 2026

The Lakers appreciate the Nuggets taking care of business.
Good luck against the Timberwolves.
