I think I'm done with the NBA. We had refs fixing games players fixing games, and then I watched this Lakers game and the ref just give it to him. I've watched so many questionable games.I'm honestly losing interest.

When Bron comes back, Bron just needs to sit on the 3 point line and let the rest of the team do their thing.

This team ain't doing jack **** if we're not getting Lebron to produce at an elite level lol.

I wonder if he's even part of Grizz future core. I think they'll move on from him.


I'm telling Y'all trade Trae for Ja.

Trae and JA both just a fake star can't take the team to another level

Both those bums just camped outside the three point line the whole quarter and watched Spencer and Wells take turns going 1v1. Something is really off about this team.

It's actually going to be interesting to see how it affects the Lakers when he comes back. He had a more negative effect on the +/- last season. There will have to be an adjustment

Luka only had 44 so his PPG dropped to a mere 45.3

To be fair defense on both sides sucked, that said what beats a good offense, more offense

Luka is MVP, STill like the ball to be run through Reaves more

Always great to see Lakers win.

I predicted 7-3 first 10 games, let's see.

Luka didn't even have a great game. Not sure if it's this awful Amazon broadcast but the whole building was deflated
