Y'all can't be serious :lol: .... The only reason this game is even remotely close is because KD is carrying this squad of G-Leaguers. Leading all scorers with 37 points and he's being doubled every time he touches the ball. "No impact" though lmao. Y'all are hilarious on this forum.

Might as well let KD and LeBron play 1-on-1.

I don't see how Sun can survive long-term with Nurkic defensively. He's beyond awful

He’s a one read passer. Doesn’t really pass people open.


Look at the stacked teams he's been on... has he ever had to learn that skill? Lol

oh theres impact, its just he doesn't have his pulse on the game. He won't dictate how it goes or try to control it. He needs a guard with him which is his only knock as a player.

How do Booker and Beal go a full off-season and they are still not healthy?

A 35 year old who has suffered multiple career threatening injuries is out here playing 40 minutes, having a team of scrubs competitive in a marque matchup. But sure, no impact.

Nurk is so laughably slow footed. Only person slower is Steven Adams.

LeBron mean mugging after taking Nurkic off the dribble haha. I think I could blow by Nurkic.

Eh I expected an L after hearing book and beal were out, pretty rough to be up all game and to have an absolute offensive collapse in the 4th.

Oh well

LeGoat!

This is truly pathetic a 39 year old Lebron is still toying with this league.


Yall congratulating KD for passing Hakeem for 12th all time scoring. Lebron is #1 all time and still going strong.


Lebron is the GOAT just end the fake debates.

The Suns need a leader badly if they plan on tryna win it all.

I find it insane that Lebron has so much more of an impact on the game right now.

Good game! Congrats to the winners!
