shey we can all agree now that its still lebron's team

Good to see the Suns fight this one through. The Lakers made some good adjustments in the 4th to slow the pace because they were going to be ran out of the gym by these cats.

Now, over to you Awon highlight watchers who rely on Twitter for stats/ live updates and TV analysts for narratives.. Na una get page.. We know say una no watch am.

AD struggles and the Lakers don't win. Color me perplexed.

Haters pulling up in 0 1 2 3.........

I see everybody got their d*cks out tonight. It's wanking time.

The thread complete bro. No absentee

My analysis of the game.

This game had "blowout" written all over it. We attempted 10 fewer shots than Phoenix. We shot the ball poorly and weren't aggressive
LeBron attempted only 13 shots. For comparison, Booker attempted 26. LeBron and AD combined to shoot 38% from the field. And we couldn't take advantage from the free throw line. We literally could have won the game from there. We missed a whooping 11 free throws, shooting just 60%. Plus Booker and Ayton had the games of their lives.

And yet we lost by only 9. That's the reason I'm optimistic moving forward. I'd be more worried if we shot and played well and lost. There's ample room for improvement. At times it looked like we could claw our way back into the game, but poor decisions at crucial moments cost us. This game has last year Portland game 1 written all over it.

It's a long series. Many things for Vogel and LeBron to work out. We'll watch films and adjust. We might have to use Gasol in this series to drag Ayton out of that paint.

I change my mind. Lakers in 5.

etidy:
If the lakers fail to repeat. One of the key reasons will be letting Dwight Howard and javale go and replacing him with Gasol this dude is outright useless at this stage in his career

Watching Drummond stink the joint today brings me back to this post.

I expect the lakers to make adjustments but losing athletic bigs like Howard and javale, and the genius of Rondo will hurt them in this playoffs.

AND PLEASE ANTHONY DAVIS WAS NEVER THE SECOND BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE.

Lol. So many conclusions after just one game. Na so e dey do you?

Roland17:


Was it a foul? Yes because CP3 undercut him and pulled his hand but once again we are seeing players flop excessively. LeBum had no business exaggerating with the very obvious flop. This is the same crap I talked about yesterday when Robinson was hit with a flagrant for at a simple foul against Middleton.

I will say it again, I don’t care if it makes anyone cry, NO PLAYER IN THIS ERA IS WORTH A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE GOAT!

You're correct. And Monty is seasoned. Sad I didn't watch this Suns team enough. I thought the league used to send warnings for flopping

Double down.. I like your style jare. I trust Bron and your coaching team to come up with an adjustment. It's not that hard.

I never got the feel lakers could win this game. It felt like they were down 20 even when they were down 10. I agree its a plus it was so close with Lakers playing badly. If they play with better energy and AD gets going, they should be able to steal one in phoenix. but make no mistake, the suns are very well coached, and they all carry that cp3 poise. you have to beat them to win this series, they aint making any mistakes.

lakers in 5 ke? This is going to game 7 optimistically. I worry about Lebron reinjuring

To be honest, none of those things lost them the game today. They really didnt come to play. Other than Lebron, the team stunk. Drummond was more valuable than AD in this game. At least he played like he wanted to be there. I feel like AD is sorta intimidated by a skilled big like Ayton.

We all know AD was never the second best player in the league. Its just a way for lebron haters to diminish his accomplishments. So they will wait until the day AD drops 40 to say, see, we told you its AD's team! Its ok, make dem dey hate dey go

where is a40 btw. havent seen any of his posts lately

Nobody's fault that AD is not taking the next leap. This should be his team by now

E don tey wey I don dey question him mentality not today. Now I see you guys are already downgrading him to embellish LeNomad's status. Not so fast!

AD's skill set has never been in doubt his skillset is elite and is a top 3 defender and top 10 scorer in this league but right he looks and is playing compromised. DeAndre Ayton had more offensive Rebounds than AD had rebounds. Let that sink in

We will know what to expect from the Lakers game 2 but I guarantee you one thing. This Lakers will not go anywhere if a much better version of AD doesn't show up, no matter what LeNomad plays

A 260 pound diva. So embarrassing. Btw Adam Silver was too spineless to suspend him.

some days he plays like a beast, looking like the best big in the game. Other days, he plays quiet. Like his mind is not there. Looks are deceiving for sure, because he doesnt look like that sort of chap. Like you said, they need him to snap out of it, otherwise they going home. Lebron is clearly trying not to re-injure anything, even his drives into the paint are like "no one step on my ankle abeg".

this is how the jazz are playing when rusty? lmao . flogging loading. obviously warriors would have been a better matchup

Ok Dillon Brooks.. I see you!!

I would have taken my chances against this Utah team without D Mitch.

Yea, they seem a well-rounded team. But if the Lakers can just turn it up one or two notches it could turn into a fairly easy series. We need to play like we're in the playoffs already.

The Jazz are beatable. At least teams know what they're going to do, which is shoot a lot of threes. If you can match them 3 for 3 then you have a chance. And having a guy like Valancuinis that can drag Gobert out of the paint is valuable.
