      @@Cluadeing The Mavs when healthy is the better team, that’s where they at. The Lakers going home next season again because to really be championship material they need a complete rebuild. LeBron needs to retire and they need to overhaul their roster. They will make small changes and be right back at the house next year playoffs because they Dumb and stubborn like their arrogant coach.

    LeBron had an ok series but his demeanor didn’t seem the same. He was laughing and Joking a lot. 2012 LeBron had a completely different demeanor. I guess you can’t blame him because he’s getting old

    We get it y’all retards hate Luka have been discrediting him his entire career bc y’all can’t stand his greatness so y’all are desperately searching for the next great American hope. Ant will never be better than Luka & hasn’t outplayed him in the series not even close. Ant & Luka are at opposite ends of the media-love spectrum. They’re trying to push one dude as the face of the nba and they’re trying to diminish and disrespect the other dude 24/7.
    He never even been first team all-nba and Luka would’ve had 6 if he didn’t get injured

    As someone who has watched Luka’s entire career, I stand firm on it, if Luka stays on the Lakers, Ant Man will probably win a championship before him. Luka WILL need to move from Los Angeles to win a championship.

    The objective difference is, Luka needs a Better Team, guys like Ant Man, Prime Lebron, Jordan, etc they ARE the Team, bc they are ELITE BOTH ends of the floor.
