Lebron putting on one hell of a show.

Getting flashbacks of the ECF game where he went off back in 2012 or whatever it was.

Old man but hes still got it and I hate him for that.

Alright celtics. Your turn to make it there as well. Win tomorrow. Let's do this.

Look at these career losers sucking LeBron James dick for carrrying their asses to the finals. This Lakers roster is despicable, from top to bottom. Not a single likeable dude on there..

Remember when Lebron was only getting to the finals because of the East? Pathetic by the West this year.

Isn't it amazing how that happens? Suddenly the Western Conference playoffs are a walkthrough, and the East are a bloodbath.

It's almost as if the narrative of vast Western Conference superiority was overstated or something.

The east started to catchup as early as last year.

Keeping LA from 17* is too import to entrust to the Heat. No disrespect to them, but this isn't their fight.

It falls to us. We must find a way.

I **** hate the Lakers. Crap management, crap players, crap team since Kobe tore his Achilles. For years, they win 20 games and draft lottery busts then all of a sudden one summer Lebron James decides he wants to do movies and then joins the Lakers when they were ass. Anthony Davis gets on his knees to join Lebron the following year and now they’re in the finals. So **** wack.

LeBron doesn't want that smoke. He knows what baby JT and JB put him through a few years ago.

That would be a problem. We all know the nba does what lebron wants. They know they could easily beat the Heat compared to us.

Read on Twitter

"...why I brought him here."

**** Klutch Sports. **** Lebron. **** the Lakers.

Lol at all the Lebron thread popping out in GB. Just imagine if they win the chip.lol

Triple7 · Post #1377 » by **Triple7** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 10:22 am

Lebron fanboys in full bloom in GB. Some of the takes are cringe worthy. Some are saying if Lebron wins 2 more rings, he’ll be the undisputed GOAT. Wtf! I have him around 6-9th right now. If he wins two more, then probably crack top 5. That still depends if he wins both fmvp’s. We need to win against the Heat. We need to ruin Lebron’s party!

What’s your definition of career loser?

Lebron is a 3x champ, played in 10 finals, gold medalist, top all time scorer, all nba, all defensive guy

AD is a college champ, gold medalist, all nba, all defense, perennial all star

Rondo is a former champ, played in 2 finals before this one, all nba, all defense, all time assist leader, and one of a handful who has raised his numbers in the playoffs

Dwight has won the east before by beating Boston, multiple time all star, multiple time dpoy, and hof lock

Green is a former all defensive player, 2 time champ, set a record for threes made in the finals, and won a ncaa title

KCP has been a career double digit scorer who has been in the playoffs before. Caruso worked his way to the g league and then nba and had some of the best defensive metrics of all Guards. Kuzma is a career double digit guy, got selected for team USA and pop praised him before he got hurt, and of the Ingram/Ball/Hart bunch he was the only one kobe actually sought out and took to dinner and watched film with. JR Smith is on the bench as a former 6moy, champion, and one of the all time three makers. McGee is a 2x champ and guy who started with the KD warriors. Markieff is a starter for most his career and double digit scorer with playoff experience. Cook is a champion in the nba and played for coach K. Waiters is a knucklehead with playoff experience, a guy who Riley liked enough to pay at one point, and was double digit guy his whole career. And Dudley has been on many playoff rotations.

By all accounts of all the teams who are in the conference finals and everyone in the playoffs, the lakers are career winners whereas the others were career losers. Boston and Miami have no one who has won at a high level. The Clips only had Kawhi. Harden is known for his failures. Dame has the worst win percentage in the playoffs of any star. Denver has no experience. I mean aside from Toronto, who had the experience of playing together but lack green and kawhi, no one can say the lakers players were losers or not equipped for the moment

Haha. That would most definitely happen, too. Not that it needs to be stated, but...

Too bad you only have 11 championships

There weren't two Lakers teams in the NBA. Only one continuous one. KC Kings became Sac Kings, same thing.

AgentGreen · Post #1380 » by **AgentGreen** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 3:11 pm

Hard to win a game against a team who gets no calls against them. Jokic got in foul trouble, but Lebron can charge his opponent anytime he wants. Just pathetic. This is why the NBA in the end is losing their credit and the front office isn't ashamed at all because of these horrible reffs antics.

We fall for it every year during the regular season and the start of the postseason. But when it comes to the conference finals and finals the reffs will take all your excitement and joy away, such an anti climax league for the last decade.

This is one of the main reasons why i prefer the NFL postseason much more.
