It’s actually pathetic how many excuses guys like Perk are making for Lebron. The man can’t play defence, got out played and wasn’t good enough to adjust.

Utterly disgusting Knowing d*** well JJ Riddick don’t know what he’s doing. But yall gonna stick up for him because he was once your colleague JJ don’t care he don’t like yall anyway!

Perk is right. JJ could’ve given them a rest by going to the bench and at least fouling players.

STOP talking about the Lakers’ lost and START talking about the Wolves’ win.

They don’t have anything to talk about, but the Lakers.this is getting old.

The Lakers have 4 centers on their roster but are “devoid of a big” per Smith. Austin Reaves is not big enough or quick enough to be the same in the playoffs when the intensity goes up.

Give the Timberwolves credit. Folks are only crying the roster issue because of the results. This is the same team they were praising 4 weeks ago.

Just stupid about these debates on the team that lost. Talk more about teams that are playing. Everyone knew Lakers were not a legit 3 seed team

I’m positive LeBron could murder someone right in front of folks from espn and he still wouldn’t catch any blame.
