    Jalen Green is exploding in Phoenix.

    Brooks was the spine of this team.


    Winning this series is not a flex, it's the bare minimum. Time to boycott and start cheering for the Spurs.

    Yup, no moral victories.

    So many “I’m happy to only be down 2/5/8 points” in the first half.

    Lakers C team

    but “we” will not be rooting for the Spurs or the Thunder.

    “We” will be rooting for the real Jokic. No baby sht. And Rockets legend™ Jim Harden’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

    It’s sad. But true. Rooting for Jalen and James is actually more captivating and fun.

    You act like Jalen and Brooks didnt just lose to GSW without Butler last year. Coaching is the difference Ott knows how to run an offense and Ime doesn't..

    Luka > KD
    They still have Reaves out.

    We should have won the game without KD.
