    Lakers are special on offense and spurs are special on defense.

    None of this matters now. Top teams can and have been bounced in rd 1. Let’s get to the playoffs first

    San Antonio hasn’t proven nothing. They will lose first round. Now OKC is the team to beat

    In my opinion Luke Kinard and a slim Luka may win the Lakers a ring this Season. LeBron is using Defe se in a Complimentary style. He can get a few stops when it counts.

    Stephen A. is absolutely correct!!!

    Lakers are up there with Thunder in Spurs when it comes to clutch moments.

    OKC are the defending champs so I’ll agree on that. But this Spurs glazing has to stop until they win something

    Lakers casuals were saying they were contenders because they were the 3rd seed last year and look what happened. They’re no better than last year. They still have no chance against Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Wolves as usual.

    Why do we have to listen to former NBA player who ain’t a winner not even made an impact to a team 😂😂😂

  14. @RhysCampbell-d6q

    March 23, 2026 at 7:52 pm

    Why can’t we just talk about what the lakers are doing right not if we gonna win or not yall can’t because you don’t know basketball

    The gap between OKC/Spurs and the rest of the West is huge. They are young, plays both sides of the court and will continue to improve. Those 2 teams will terrorize the West for a very long time.

    This NBA season proves that people in the media are truly clueless, and have no idea what they are talking about.
