@PlayoffDude Someone’s getting exposed when the refs are not there to cover… 😆

OKC fans ranking SGA over Kobe and Curry is comedy at this point.

@LakersSpin Robbed!

Giving SGA the MVP trophy in front of Wemby was a BAD IDEA.

@PlayoffDude 😆

Lakers nation, are we all on the same page here rooting for the Spurs to beat OKC or not?

@PlayoffDude Rui Hachimura, no. I like Adou too…

Lakers Receive Anthony Davis: Wizards Receive: Rui Hachimura, DeAndre Ayton, Jarrod Vanderbilt, Aduo Thiero + 1st rouns pick Who says no?

@deecee190 @Shane00 You are weakening Shai’s talents w/ your comparison of these players. I’m not a fan of Shai, but I acknowledge he is great. No way will I put him in the sentence as Knecht, Kolek or Hyland, that’s disrespect. Saying Shai is skilled enough, no need for the theatrics!

listen, I hear ya but if Dalton Knecht could do it, he would- if Tyler Kolek could do it, he would- if Bones Hyland could do it, he would- yeah its annoying but Shai is awesome hoops player- gotta live with it and appreciate- hopefully NBA experiments with something again to get rid of flopping- Shais numbers would slightly do down- still great player without it

Shai is literally the only NBA star I don't like Possibly the most unlikeable, unwatchable star in NBA history

@deecee190 @Shane00 I’ll give you that. I won’t - especially if he continues to capitalize on his “body-maneuvering” to get favorable whistles and not simply to score.

@Natz__O @Shane00 I will remember him for the basketball- best mid range in the game and great teammate

@b1anc4r No self-awareness…

LMAOOOO ain’t no way this mf just said that shit

@LakersEmpire An angry crowd at that!

Y’all think we getting a loud Lakers crowd tonight at Crypto Arena?

@Jonny03749878 @Shane00 Because he and OKC are the only ones who seem to be greatly favored and it’s already becoming a consistent brand of basketball. Yes, maybe the other does it occasionally. But Shai and OKC’s identify is getting marred by it, it is becoming it.

@Natz__O @Shane00 Ok, can you also tell that to almost every premier scorer in the league as well? This is simply being mad at someone for mastering a technique in a game that allows for such moves. Every. Player. Does. It. The question is why does Shai take all the blame for it?

@deecee190 @Shane00 This is more than extra- advantage. He does it to the point where his supposed greatness is marred by the “extra”. You don’t want to remember him as the Superstar who was helped by the refs. You want to remember him for the basketball, not the acting skill.

@Natz__O @Shane00 cuz gives him extra advantage- not everyone can do it- if they could they would

@deecee190 @Shane00 I disagree. You don’t have to master flopping and foul-baiting to be considered great at basketball. You’re only strengthening the narrative that he is not great at it when you keep justifying his on court acting skills and embellishments.

@Natz__O @Shane00 hes mastered it to become great nba player

@FTFonFS1 @Chris_Broussard The refs overcompensated the entire OKC team with those early fouls called on Shai. They let the others go away with And-1s and some obvious fouls.

“I think JJ Redick’s comments, and maybe even Austin Reaves talking with the refs, will backfire. I think they ticked off OKC. I think OKC just feels like we’re better, give us the credit.” @Chris_Broussard doesn’t know if the Lakers can pull off the upset tomorrow night 👀

@FTFonFS1 @Chris_Broussard You know how frustrating it is to play and you know calls are not being fairly called?

@PlayoffDude Reminds me of this… :)

Good morning, Lakers nation! Here’s something to cleanse your timeline.

@MRSOONER75 @jmorton78 Hated these teams or personalities but you can’t say there’s no respect for their game. I can’t say the same for OKC.

@jmorton78 The Thunder aren't the first, and they won't be the last. It's just magnified by social media! The entire league hated the bad boy Pistons. Non Jordan fans, hated the Bulls. Non Kobe fans hated the Lakers. It's a tale as old as time. Haters hate winners!🤷🏻‍♂️

@TrollSportsFan @jmorton78 😆

@jmorton78 Just wait until a knicks thunder finals and you'll see people unite against the whole league after having to watch the SGA-Brunson flop contest

@andy__mick @jmorton78 Yeah, they punch you, and when you punch back, they run crying to mom for doing so.

@jmorton78 It’s not even just the officiating. It’s the fact they want to act tough while flopping all around when anyone is physical with them. Own it if you want to be respected

@jmorton78 @CB_25m Some teams you hate because they beat your team but still highly respect their game - Pistons Bad Boys, LakeShow, Celtics, MJ’s Chicago Bulls, GSW Splash Brothers. But OKC has the hate with zero respect except from their own fan base.

@ThePettiestLA AI is getting so dangerous and intrusive if used the wrong way. Also, now, everybody can write better with AI. You don’t know anymore who can write a good position paper without the internet and just rely on pure skill. 😄

Man outlaw AI

@LakeShowYo Funny but not advocating for a bit of violence… 😄😆

what Austin Reaves should’ve done to the ref 💀
