In one breath they say LeBron has a bad plus minus which means he's dropping empty calorie stats, and in the same breath they say the Lakers have Luka and LEBRON and so they have to win the championship.

They're shamelessly showing us their inconsistencies as usual. But hey, you do you, I'm just watching from the sidelines

The warriors should win the Grizzlies. But...

But...

It's the play-in.

I guessing we'll all be watching Warriors vs Clippers on Sunday

It's good to be safe o

When any of them "old heads" ask you why players today load manage, show them this graph

Congrats to steady986 on carrying the championship this year. I had nothing for all that firepower!! Is this a sign of a 5th Lebron ring?

Honorable mention to KNIGHTBlaed, SmooshCHN , Hohenheim and killrhymz01 !!

The way NBA is hot this year, maybe we add one more week next season. Teams are actually balling at the end of the season unlike before.

larride try small, but the viciousness was too much joephemzyz, aliondo, I hope you enjoyed the flogging sha

Yezzur!!!

After last year's cruel loss in the final, it was only right that I got it this year Nice game

Abeg o, that final week na wash. A lot of teams are resting players. Cavs, Houston, OKC, Boston. Abeg o

larride:
It’s unacceptable the rooster that the GM has surrounded Jokic after their championship win.

Who tf lose Bruce Brown, KCP and fill them up with Zeke, Vancar and the likes.

Mike Malone has also lost some games this season that they have no business losing due to some head scratching decisions. Na collateral damage.

The more important thing is who they hire.

I sha know that if this was LeBron's team, the blame would be on LeBron Even as great as Jokic is, he still gets a pass. But not LeBron. Never

Hey, I'm just a messenger

It's over for the Nuggets. I haven't seen a case where a team loses a coach who has brought them a championship and recovers from it. At least not until a rebuilding has taken place with fresh legs injected into the team.

OKC still remain the favorite to emerge Western Conference Champions.

Oh, not the Lakers anymore? Or your head is still touching

I can't even fathom what Jokic would be without Malone. Because Jokic is Malone and Malone is Jokic. Unless the next coach would come in and just continue what Malone was doing, which would make the sacking and hiring meaningless.

birdman:
Truthfully, yall cant bank on this win. One game at the end of the season does not count much imo

That's what I'm saying o. Playing a team that is 13 games clear at the summit with 4 games to go is not a good litmut test.

When Houston beat the Thunder 2 days ago, we didn't hear this kind of analysis o, but wait till the Lakers do so

If there's any set of fans that make excuses for their team, it's Warriors fans. I've never seen such type of fans before. Even when they're on a 20-2 run since trading for Jimmy. Even when they have Steph who just dropped 53. Even when they have a HOF coach who has won 4 championships. Even when half of their roster has been to at least one NBA finals. Even when their team is top 10 in defensive ratings. Even when they have Draymond Green who is a former DPOY and is a leading candidate to win it this year. It's not enough for them.

To them, the team that should win it is the one with a 40 year old LeBron whom they have openly criticized for being a liability on defense. The team whose co star is also a liability on defense and has been shooting 41% from the field since being traded. The team that has no legit center. The team that has a rookie head coach.

Is it not ment?

But last last, this was a game of pride for the Warriors. They couldn't have allowed the Lakers to sweep them 4-0 this season. And when your entire bench scores 7 points, you're going to lose.

By and large, I still think the two teams are evenly matched. I felt that way before the trade deadline, and I feel that way after the trade deadline. It will all come down to coaching and who wants it more.

Nico Harrison, come and carry your Luka abeg. We don't want again

birdman:
I managed injuries all year long. I always found a way to edge a win. Alas, time for flogging has come ooo

It was a close game though. It could've gone either way. Second leg dey come. Make we see wetin Villain Brooks go cook this time.

Typical Westbrook: smokes an open layup that could have sealed the game, then moments later fouls a 3-pt shooter which essentially lost them the game

greypencils:
I honestly don't mind if the losing streak continues.

Of course you don't

greypencils:
Battle for 6th position. Grizzlies done loose guard.

I dey vex anytime I look this table. We had a healthy lead in 2nd just 3 weeks ago. Then we had a 4-game and 3-game losing streaks.

birdman:
bros why na

One down, one to go

Birdman fall out

birdman:
The way they play without Lebron leaves much to be desired. Lebron takes a break, and yall go from like 7 game winning streak to 3,4 game skid. Lebron should really be the third option on this team, not because he is not skilled, but because he should be on a minutes restriction. like 25 to 30 per night. The fact that he still has to play full throttle is trouble for you guys, because he cannot play 40+ minutes come playoffs, I dont care how good his conditioning is. So yes, your team is not old, but apparently you still need the old man. This means young teams will feast on you, once your old man gasses out

Remember we lost Rui too during that stretch. So it could be because of Rui

This regular season has been a rollercoaster. Let it end abeg lemme rest.

LeBuzzerBeater James

I can't even breath on these streets without someone telling me I'm making excuses that the Lakers aren't contenders.

benji93:
It has become first nature for una to find excuses. I don't even think you are doing this intentionally. You have Lebron and Luka with a decent supporting cast. We are all definitely on the same level. As usual Le(4-6) fans.

Stfu jare. You're sounding boring at this point

birdman:
oga, you are not on our level. dont deceive yourself. shey na luka una dey depend on? you better not meet any of the young teams, we gon retire popsy quick

Lol, why do people think our team is old. Na only LeBron old for there. We have young cats too

birdman:
I like it. Na only nuggets fit comot us from #2 seed. WC playoffs go bloody o, for seed 3 to 8

Lol. #2 o, #6 o. It's all the same to me. I feel every team from 2 to 6 is on the same level and can beat each other. You can even add the Clippers and Wolves to that mix. My own be say make we avoid play-in, because e no too far like this

Championship team don collect 146. O pari

greypencils:
Yippee! He scored 17, Still a nepo baby.

Meanwhile, Cavs have lost 4 in a row. Wetin dey occur?

He's not the first, and won't be the last

Who watched Stephen A's take on Bronny on First Take? That man is a bloody chameleon

Bronny James tonight 17pts on 7/10 shooting. Watch how everywhere will be quiet.

greypencils:
Even If AD remained on the team with Lebron and a newly acquired Luka, they will still be underdogs to you. Una go done look for one excuse. Lebron always need help and more help to win. That being said, give some credit to his teammates. But no! Teammates are always the reason he loses. When/If he wins, give credit to his teammates because they are the reason he wins. But will that happen? No! You dick riders go carry one stat use am as point.
Lebron won in 2016, give Kyrie credit. Mba! Lebron did it all by himself. Kyrie leaves in 2018. Lebron didn't win because he had no help. Fuckin acknowledge that Lebron ain't shit without help, more help and yet more help.

Even when he had help in 2011 with Miami, still lost. After they had cracked the code to winning in 12 & 13, he jumped ship as soon as they lost instead of staying to grind it out. Is that your goat? No loyalty to anybody or any team. When we point this out, you call us haters. Even with the jump shipping, hustling, disloyalty and shit, he still doesn't have as many rings as Kobe, MJ, Kareem, Magic, Pippen.

Añd you call him king, king of what? Longevity stats? Because that is all I see.

You sound like the typical LeBron hater. All of you have one script that you read from. None of you have an opinion of your own.

benji93:
LeBron said this himself. Are you ok? Do you realize that Lebron is a defendant here?

If your question is who I should listen to between you and LeBron, it's LeBron because he clearly knows ball better than you do.
