Celtics did exactly what I said they would. Took 2 games off to play the Lakers then rested the game afterwards. Championship teams don't approach basketball like that. We expect sorry teams like the Hornets to do it, but when Boston gets knocked off this year, we'll come back and point to this as to part of the reason why.

Silver really has to do something about this shit. Fans are paying for these expensive ass tickets and the coaches are laughing in their faces.

Kendrick Lamar does the same thing. Rarely does interviews so his fans mythologize his music.

Dame is not a Top 75 player. None of the top 15 look up to MJ like that. I bet the top 50 don't immortalize him like that.

Imagine being told to stop being a bitch from a closet homosexual and a G league talent bum ass nigga from Alaska. Both whose only success in their careers came from riding your coattail.

Another shitty shooting nite from Luka but he cant hide behind LeBrons hero routine this evening.

Dwight is capping.

He was getting DNPs his whole last season with the Lakers and was clearly washed. That's why he was let go and hasn't played in the NBA again. He's spent the last 3 years begging to come back and pretending that season never happened and centering his Lakers experience to the 2020 season cuz he doesn't want people to remember how washed he was. Dudes get on these podcasts and say whatever.

 

[Costanza]

Hes sad because his teams best players were injured in that Finals
Steph almost had you ringless
Better thank Draymond for that one

Sad but true.

Nobody has ever reaped more from a kick in the nuts than he did.

His statue in Cleveland ought to look like this:

The guys entire life is a lie.. Literally. A sick reckless faggit who has been accused of man rape and engaging in sodomite behavior with sex workers while his minor children were under the same roof.

How many minutes did Porzingas play against the Lakers before resting because nobody cares about playing any other team?

Is Kobe top 50?

That was a 7 game series and game 7 was in Draymond house and he played in it.

What's funny is, in 2022, Dwight and AD got into it early in the season.



And after that his minutes and role went down tremendously. Vogel barely played the dude. His burst and lift were gone. I remember they played the Clippers that year and Zubac was working his ass in the paint and overpowering him. That's when I knew it was over.

And yes, his baby mama exposed that dude lives a facade and even with how he pretends that sexual assault investigation never came out, you can tell he's full of shit and got some demons.

He actually played the game of his life and had 35 and they still lost. Bron haters can't admit Golden State simply wore down as the series went on and they choked. Bron had 3 straight all time performances to close that out. It's always gotta be some catch to his titles. But now that all this info bout MJ is coming out, nobody really cares about it or even titles anymore. I know I dont.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Because they lost 3 games dumbass. 7 games played. Welvin played in 6 including game 7 at home. YOU lost. Get over it.

Absent that suspension, the best team would have won the series in 5 games. Simple as that.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Since Bron didn't play, no one wants to troll the Lakers for losing. Or promote Mike or Kobe via Luka's poor performance. It's understood that Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant aren't really Black people, they are WHITE!!! Which is why white people on this board like beeiii, jawnswoop, jondoe, and MHC are so emotionally attached to them. They don't use those white guys legacies to trash other white guys. They use them to trash niggas, undesirables. The darker the skin the better. Even on X, none of the Kobetard or Bron hater pages are trashing Luka. Or using his story to promote their crushes Mikey and Kobe. There's no AI or memes being curated depicting Luka as a bufoon or saying "Kobe would've did it like this...", it's just a loss.

The irony to that, is that it's going to allow Luka's Lakers legacy to eventually surpass Kobe's when he wins A championship in LA. His whiteness will elevate him over him with fans, it's only a matter of time. Especially since they're never going to go at him like they do a Black person.

Based on what exactly? They lost 4 games... 3 with Welvin on the court.. not to mention a crucial heavily favored game 7 at home. Sorry, facts say otherwise. Fuck speculation.

If every other team down 3-0 was comped a game and only had to win two more to get to a game 7, a lot more teams would come back from down 3-0.

The facts absolutely support that, without that unjust interference, the Cavs would have been swept or otherwise quickly dispensed with.

Do you believe 10 years from now Lakers fans will love and still talk about Kobe more than Luka? In 2035, almost 20 years from Kobe's last game. Luka will be 36 and have a decade of Lakers basketball under his belt.

Why were they not swept then young man? Welvin played game 4. And why did they not ultimately win a home game 7 fully staffed?

It was a 3-1 deficit not 3-0, you know what I meant.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Luka is going to be the biggest Lakers star since Magic. All he needs is one chip like Jerry West, and it's over.

Next year the Buss family is going to offer him a $300 mill contract and really make him the face. He's only signed thru 2026 so this is definitely the courting stage of this marriage.

 

[Goingmark40]

nuggets just were smoking hot from the field tonight. on a back to back i was kinda figuring they would win. still was a good game i'm just glad it was on tv and okc getting a lot of games televised now. thunder up

 

[dtownsfinest]

To the fucking Nets? Really?

 

[Costanza]

Players who have the most to gain from another title…



^^^ He’s pretty high on the list.

 

[M.H.C.]

I can't'

After that Pacers game, I did my own research and yeah if we’re being consistent, a lot of these questionable assists are legit. They shouldn’t be in my opinion but other players have received assists off the same shit. It is what it is

I think it’s funny how folks questioning Jokic’s assists but fail to realize LeBron has very similar type of assists over his illustrious career.

 

[M.H.C.]

Who the hell is making this schedule

Oh you didn’t know they were playing again today?


That’s what I said.

12-1 record in the 2nd game of a back-2-back tho.

 

[Costanza]

I was looking over Finals MVPs— didn’t remember Tony Parker winning one.

NBA Finals MVP Award Winners

Since 1969, the NBA has honored the NBA Finals' best performer.

www.nba.com

Repeat Finals MVPs:

KD, LeBron, Kobe.

Shaq x 3.

Jordan x 3, Olajuwon, Jordan x 3.

Jordan winning 3 straight twice is much heralded but probably still underappreciated.
