    No Luka, no luck... Lakers need Luka to advance...
    Think LA can beat OKC even with a healthy Donic?
    They would have a better shot.  They'd hit a brick wall when they reach the next round if San Antonio is their next opponent.  

    So no.  It's a pipe dream.

    If Adam Silver really thinks I'm logging onto some app to watch Detroit vs. Cleveland he's fucking delusional.

    There was a game on the other night on just Peacock.  We do not subscribe to Peacock...

    We do have Prime though.

    It's fun to see the Pistons back in contention. Cade is playing like he belongs on that stage. I'm in on him.
    That being said- are we going to pretend like anyone can beat OKC?

    Only Wemby and company.  That is the only roadblock I see.

    Same, here, maybe. If Wemby can prove that he can stay healthy, I could be convinced. 
    I say this about a team that still won 62 games this year though.

    I’m so excited to watch Spurs vs OKC next round. Pistons Knicks will also be a very good series. 

    We just need this second round to be over with already!!

    Was hoping Lakers could get at least 1 if my squad is fortunate enough to advance 

    looks like tee times and travel agent time

    Valiant effort by the Spurs after Wemby looked like Macrons wife and elbowed that dude.. that’s on me, I joked about it other day…. 

    Billions of dollars for me… let’s see if I can be 2 for 2

    Ant is that dude… great game

    Good on Wemby for not taking any shit and retaliating but come on man, you have to make it look less obvious,  lol.

    That was one hell of an elbow.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he got another game for it.

    Could this be LeBron's last game?

    I would bet money on “no.” I’m hearing rumors of him going back to Cleveland but I’m not seeing it.

    I see NBA pushing Giannis to Lakers… they don’t like them mediocre for too long

    Still need to clean up some inconsistency, but they are very young so you have to expect that… The dog in Wemby is great.. you can see he’s not satisfied 

    Golbert is such a nothing… soft as charmin 

    they gotta close them out in MN imo to have a good shot at OKC… don’t play with your food on Friday

    go Spurs go !

    I doubt it, he still craves attention and being talked about. You don't get that as much after you retire.

    I'd like the team to be healthy for the playoffs one last time.

    My poor Lakers.

    I think LeBron comes back, if for no other reason, to get the retirement tour treatment.

    To do what he did this year, at his age, is pretty wild. Not enough superlatives, IMO.

    He'll always be 2 to MJ, but maybe there should be a different title for him.

    Maybe MJ is the B.O.A.T., and LBJ is the G.O.A.T.? I don't know.

    Lakers were also probably fool's gold towards the end of the year. Yeah, they won a lot, and were close to the top in offensive and defensive metrics, but I don't know how sustainable that run would have been in the playoffs.

    LeBron has been swept how many times? His crying, his brick shooting… he was the most physically imposing player in nba history who wasn’t a BIG… yea he’s great. I take a bunch of guys over him ( too many) and him chasing super teams… Jordan would never.

    the kids today who forgot the greatness of Michael… they can start only fans but can’t figure out to work a YouTube of Michael to really see before they even say LeBron is in his realm. 

    He can also thank Ray Allen for a title, Covid as his Laker title.. looked like a HS championship 

    I will give him credit for searingly being a decent person from all accounts.. not easy with the $$ n fame 

    I never once watch him and said how do you stop this?  Kawhi 2 runs were more Jordan esque than LeBron in his best dream 

    Dwayne Wade 100x more clutch 

    Steph is better im

    Huge Lebron fan here.  

    This has waned over the years though.  When he blocked that shot for the chasedown that saved the game and the championship was the last time he really played defense.

    Nobody could stop him if he willed his ability some more.  He never had the killer instinct and it bugged the hell out of me.

    Statistically he will be the best ever,  He is not better than Jordan though.

    I never get the "chasing rings" angle.  It's ok to go to a different team.  Do people give Garnett shit for leaving Minnesota?  

    Todays players are built different.  Wemby looks like he is cut from an old cloth.  Like Giannis was when he first came in.  Hungry.

    I'd like to see more of that from Pablo, Cade and Antman.  Cade has it turned up the most right not.  Lets see if Antman can do the same.
