Who cares what this stephen a fool thinks? He is no different than skip. Utter garbage commentators. Neither have ever played a competitive sport, but yet their thoughts are suppose to have any weight on a subject. The quicker we start disregarding these fools, the quicker they will disappear in the cracks they crawled out of.

The Lakers are ridiculous. You have zero effort from these guys. Austin Reaves leaving Kyrie open? AD acting like he’s sleepwalking throughout the entire game.

LBJ is 6β8 260 and had Kyrie 6β2 190 guarding him twice down the stretch. LBJ shot a long 3 and βmade the right playβ which was a TO. Kyrie shouldβve been (Shaqβs voice) BBQ chicken.

Well if you know anything about the NBA script he wasn’t going to do that. No need to get upset or read too much into it. Lakers gotta lose certain games just like every team so the coding by the numbers stay intact

Lakers must immediately get And develop young center player to their future of Lakers

Lakers the key of champion is center player like Kay sotto and Howard as the twin towers of Lakers center

It’s so hard to win without center player 7,3 height and young player like Kay sotto,the key of champion of Lakers is big man,tbey must immediately get young big center, to their future of Lakers,and it’s easy to Davis and lebron James to penetrate inside and outside with center player 7,3 height and young as the Ring protector and can’t depend Victor wenbanyama and jokic and others player,they must immediately get Kay sotto and Howard,to be champion of Lakers

Scapegoats once again. Why is there no mention if the final play of the game, when LEBRON turned the ball over?

You have to learn to think big picture Mr. Smith. Lakers will win the inaugural in-season tournament. They are integrating a lot of new players into their system, while picking up wins. And, they are the preferred trade destination of superstars again. Plus, they have the assets to improve their team via trade if necessary. Lakers are trending up regardless of the outcome of the Mavericks game.

Lebron has a WEAK mind in dying pressure packed situations

Just appreciate the greatness of Lebronβs consistency while we can, hero ball, missing crucial free throws, costly turnover and a game tying brick π§±
