    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.

    ESPN always blaming somebody else but washed up Lebron🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Gotta blame the players sometimes

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

    Perk sounds like a po dunk clown, that can’t read or write. Green mile DEI hire 100/ fax

    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.

    May 1, 2025 at 11:12 pm

    I was waiting on them to “get into it”

    Jj has no experience as a coach what do you expect

    May 1, 2025 at 11:16 pm

    We had to listen for 3 minutes of stephan a talking “holda holda holdaaaaup” and this other bafoon perk talk about how much money they got for jewelry. But blacks have it so bad in racist America I thought??

  16. @trainbobber03

    May 1, 2025 at 11:16 pm

    Didn’t have the players? Ya’ll do know you picked the Lakers to go all the way, and we heard you, right?

  17. @garyjones8289

    May 1, 2025 at 11:18 pm

    Perk would struggle with green eggs and ham. Clown

  18. @waynewilliams22

    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.

    Perk sweating hard lol 😡

    Maybe just Le🥉 and Fluka couldn’t close. Accountability

  21. @markunderwood8468

    May 1, 2025 at 11:24 pm

    Who’s to blame? Lebron. Easy

  22. @relaxingwaves361

    May 1, 2025 at 11:25 pm

    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

  23. @michaelduquette87

    May 1, 2025 at 11:25 pm

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

  24. @alexanderthegreat3

    ESPN been riding LeBron and never learn. Lakers have been overrated for years
