    How in the world does the lakers have the same amount of losses as houston and Minnesota lmaooo. And they dont face the spurs anymore. Dude just yapping. And lakers won 50 games

    This is going to be an entertaining postseason

    Mad Dog clearly isn’t watching the Lakers. Since Luka joined them, they have only lost once to Denver with him playing, while winning 4 times. Clearly LA owns Denver. 😂

    Yet ESPN moves the knicks up in your power rankings and the Lakers move down a spot.

    ESPN is clowns.

    For the final time. LUKA DOES PLAY DEFENSE. Steals. Taking charges, rebounds. Give the guy his props.

    The spurs and thunder might not play their player’s against the nuggets if the playoff seeds are already locked in. Nuggets might get those teams resting their players for the playoffs

    Should’ve never got rid of Thibs, bulls fans still miss the winning, and defensive minded culture he brought

    Luka Doncic is now on pace for winning his first NBA MVP and NBA CHAMPIONSHIP🚨🏆
    – More PPG than SGA
    – More RPG than LeBron James
    – More APG than James Harden
    – Same SPG as OG Anunoby
    – Better FG% than Cade Cunningham
    – Better 3PT% than Donovan Mitchell
    Luka doing it all for the Lakers🙌🏻🪄

    The reason the hawks are surging this season isn’t the fact that they got rid of Trae Young it’s more about the fact of all the talent they added..multiple players including Nikiel Alexander-Walker and McCollum ntm Jalen Johnson is finally healthy..now imagine all that with Trae

    The New York Knicks about to lose in the first round against Josh Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks

    I feel like losing in the playoffs this season would be more impressive than playing another year and winning a chip.

    Stephen a says it’s not personal, then proceeds to make it personal and talk about Josh Hart for 10 minutes. Grow thicker skin Stephen a Mr sensitive!
