I have been a Nets fan since November of 2020. However after witnessing LeGoat James drain a clutch three to beat the Warriors I have now seen the light and have become a James and Lakers fan. I encourage all Nets fans to come to their senses, abandon this poverty franchise and root for the God of basketball, LeGoat James, and the royalty of the NBA, the Los รngeles Lakers.

Remember in 2011? Lakers were supposed to walk all over the Mavericks and got swept instead.
Now thatโs not what Iโm predicting, but itโs very hard to repeat in this league and I feel Suns can definitely win this series if they hit their open shots and refrain from sending the Lakers to the line a bunch.

I truly believe that this current Suns is much better than the 05-06 Suns. Just because this Suns’ defense is significantly better compare to 05-06 Suns.
Offense wins games but Defense wins Championships!
