They already had a contender

That team was not contending this year.

Neither is this one if we're being honest. I'd still take about 4 teams ahead of them for the title even with AD healthy. Unless we're using the word contender loosely.

Where are the people saying LeBron wouldn’t allow Luka to handle the ball or play off ball? Haven’t seen a lick of that at all

Can’t take Dallas lightly man. They’re a competitive group with winning pedigree. Team is going to be an extremely tough out once they’re healthy.

No idea how any coach can gameplan their defense around Luka just giving up on the perimeter POA defensive assignments.

Luka played amazing defense tonight. He was staying with and bothered Kyrie all night.

Even if you thought trading Luka was a good idea, how f#$%king dense do you have to be to think that pairing him with LeBron James in your own Conference was a good idea?

That’s actually one less than Ham would prefer

Has everybody apologized to Darvin Ham yet?

Lol

Lebron still plays like he is in his early 30s, it's just crazy.

Good point

Lebron's gotta clean it up. 6 TOs is unacceptable.

Why is Reaves handling the ball

The Lakers are officially The Greatest Show on Hardwood.

Suck it, Nico

XTC · Post #494 » by **XTC** » Wed Feb 26, 2025 5:23 am

The fact Lebron is still this good at 40 is just scary

rockmanslim · Post #495 » by **rockmanslim** » Wed Feb 26, 2025 5:24 am

Lebron diarrhea alert, made a beeline to the locker room

Is an NBA foul just whatever gets the score closest enough to the betting line? Because I have no idea either and I'm not sure NBA refs do either. 25 year fan of the league btw.

Lol, their offense is garbage now even with AD. Don't have the playmaking to be any real threat now. Couldn't even take advantage of a terrible night from deep by the Lakers

Rainwater · Post #498 » by **Rainwater** » Wed Feb 26, 2025 5:24 am

Lol, game is not even over and LBJ just heads to the locker him. Maybe he just wants Luka to be interviewed.

Mamba Mentality · Post #499 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Wed Feb 26, 2025 5:25 am

LeBron 4th quarter masterclass and Luka triple double, but an extremely sloppy win. This team is bipolar asf.

I actually think he may be moving better than in the last couple years.
Even on defense he's pretty quick laterally, which isn't something I remember him being for a while now.

Who wins?
