I don’t think so. I cannot picture the cavs giving up anything other than Salary filler to get Lebron back.

Wagner is the biggest flop artist in the league. dude needs to quit it. nba refs stupidly fall for his dumb head-snapping antics.
Did i mention that he acts like a little bitch?

Going to be? Have you missed the tik Tok zoomers going crazy on the LeBrOn SmAsHeS jOrDaN posts or the other 100 Lebron fap posts every week.

This has become the worst place to discuss basketball in the last 12 months


Lebron stans are AWFUL. Losses only give them energy. They'll be another "Lebron GOAT" thread along with some extremely arbitrary stats/accomplishments. Again, it's a BIZARRE stanbase that's toxic for basketball.

Luckily, it's almost over.

Lebron staying in LA for Business. Rich is going to work overtime to get another Klutch Client to him. Too bad Ben Simmons failed to cry his way to there

Best game the Nuggets have played all season. Conversely, it's probably the worst game the Lakers have played.

Seriously though, how’s that ‘Trae can do anything he wants’ culture going in Atlanta.

Vogel's probably getting fired if they allow another performance like this. I'm not sure how much more of this they can take.

They're in a slump. You would be right if you were talking about the Wiz or Knicks.

Knicks are 8-3 since Christmas ( 11-4 in their last 15) and they've turned it around without the services of their starting and backup point guards. They were also in protocol hell at the time. Nice try though.

Biggest Lakers loss to the Nuggets in Franchise history.

Can't imagine what the Nuggets record would be if they could consistently close out third and fourth quarters like that. Was really fun to see. Until a couple minutes left when Bones went full ball hog mode.

Do you same about all the other teams with tons of injuries?

No, just the pretenders. Knicks have been without the services of their starting and backup PGs for most of the season and they were ravaged by covid protocols. Nobody gave them the benefit of the doubt. Why should the Bulls get that benefit?

you care more about the Bulls then people care about your knicks. I honestly have no idea where you guys are in the standings. and everyone has had covid and injury impacts this season.

We need to temper our excitement here, It's the Lakers, they're a really pathetic team. Even worse than I thought. Tonight was more of an aberration type performance, it's a nice win but not something to get overly excited about. Now, If they do something like this to the Jazz tomorrow, then we're talking.

How many of those teams are playing without a starting or backup PG?

Still not over Lebron subbing himself back in the game while down 30 points to pick up some more stats while the other starters were on the bench. Lol. Just to make it look like he had a better game than his teammates according to the stat-sheet.

But he's "injured", "gassed", and "tired".

Gotta suck to be a teammate and watch that happen.
