@AnthonyIrwinLA @joinoffside What’s your goal Anthony? To win the 1st round or Win the 🏆? Best 1st round opponent is the Rockets. Best route to a 🏆 is the 3 seed.

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 @joinoffside)

@DMAC_LA Mick will blame boosters and his players. It’s never him. And that’s why he’s not embarrassed.

Aday Mara left UCLA and is helping Michigan win a National Championship. Arizona is in the Final Four. UCLA got bounced in the second round. That's got to be pretty embarrassing for Mick Cronin and the Bruins.

@WestwoodBruins Has he even heard of them ?

And Mick has signed........ 0 of them

@drewandersonn3 @SteveFryer @JoeTipton @StanfordMBB @pnwsportsgroup @Brandon___Davis @AJG_20 @SMCHSBasketball Congratulations Drew.

Committed! #gocard

@ESabro3 Jaylen Clark vibes

Damn. Eric Freeny might start next season

@Tim_NBA The Bench is the greatest teacher

More in Q4. LA's P&R -> post up (hoping for a switch) followed by a corner flash (LaRavia) & Flare combo. DA forgets to set the flare and Bron stares at him a few seconds waiting for him to realize. Kennard is pointing, trying to tell him where to be.

DA forgot the play like 3 times in 5 possessions in Q2. This is hard to watch.

@usdmbbguy Ask UCLA permission to interview Cronin

University of San Diego has fired Steve Lavin Brand new practice facility, recent renovations to Jenny Craig Pavilion, one of the most beautiful schools in the nation, new look WCC next year With the right hire, USD has no excuse to not be in the top half of WCC #GoToreros

@uclambb1 5 of the top 10 players in class of 2026 from SoCal. Not one is considering UCLA. But he just got a massive extension. Bruins are stuck.

Cronin will never score a HS recruit ever again in his career being known as the guy that kicks his own players out of games

@MirjamSwanson @IraGorawara @krisjohnsonlive Agree w that. Mick is crazy and would probably have lit him up for conceding to your point. Let the ref police the ejection. And he could have just benched him.

@tbarto3 @IraGorawara @krisjohnsonlive The announcers going on about, “in a 27-point blowout you don’t challenge that and just let that go …” as if that’s what Cronin would want, A. And B, should Michigan State also stop trying to play then? Why are the Spartans fast-breaking in a blowout? Weird stuff.

Watch: UCLA HC Mick Cronin appeared to eject his own player, Steven Jamerson II, after he committed a foul on Carson Cooper on the fast break. Jamerson squared up with Cooper, was assessed a technical before Cronin signaled for him to get off the floor.

@IraGorawara @krisjohnsonlive It’s always the Mick show.

@IraGorawara @krisjohnsonlive Stood there w his hands at his side is not Squared Up. Hard flagrant foul. But he did go for ball and probably would have been screamed at by Mick if he didn’t challenge. Bench him ? sure. Eject your own player when the ref doesn’t is making it about Mick. Whats new.

@ECreates88 Imagine saying that and putting up 99 in today’s game. Whats that say about them

Draymond Green talking smack during a Marcus Smart free throw during the third quarter last night: "They don't even play defense... they just stand there and point and switch."

@Scaryp23 @LakeShowYo How about a terrible game plan and another L

@tbarto3 @LakeShowYo 40 plus 3's is a lot of 3's and the Lakers do that sht all the time and still get bailed out by the refs.

DAWG WTF IS DRAYMOND DOING??? REFS DIDN’T EVEN REVIEW IT 😭😭😭

@Scaryp23 @LakeShowYo Keep shooting 51 3s you won’t ever go to the line.

@LakeShowYo Still got carried by the refs!!

@RajChipalu We got a gift so I’m not complaining. But I really bet Nico asked for DK and we said Max instead. Man would be amazing if Lakers still had.

So clear Max Christie was going to be good. Turned into an elite role player.

@deadboylyfee @Lakers Because your GM values late 1st round picks so he can draft guys that are out of the NBA 3 years later instead

Why is he not on my basketball team right now @Lakers

@timmytramp69 @latbbolch That’s not accountability. Only blame he’s taking is that he recruited bad players That’s what he’s saying.

@latbbolch Finally he takes some accountability my god. Cant wait til the day him and Jarmond are gone. Jarmond should be fired for even giving out that stupid extension

Mick Cronin: “I offer no excuses. Blame me. I recruited ‘em, I signed them as free agents. We’re not going to win meaningful games if we can’t stop the other team.”

@OleTimeHardball Balco Barry George Brett Freddie Freeman

Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded, 2 outs, and your team is down by 1 Nolan Ryan is on the mound. You have your choice of any hitter, of any era in his prime. Who gets the call?

@LakersDailyCom Mark Walter knows this. Tick tock…

A former Lakers scout who worked with Pelinka doesn't trust him to build a contender in the Luka era “He doesn’t know what a difference maker is. If he did, [they] would have had Myles and Buddy next to LeBron and AD in 2023 and probably won the title.” lakersdaily.com/former-lakers-…

@uclambb1 Takes zero accountability when they lose. Blames players. 5 of the top 25 HS players in nation are from LA not one is considering UCLA. Bye Bye Mick

this is a fucking awful team and mick’s days in Westwood are numbered… Who should be the next basketball coach at ucla?
