Tony

@DamienPetersNBA Before this season he never missed a game from a hamstring. This season before the all star break he hurt his hamstring and said himself it's the first time he ever injured his hamstring but sure u know better then him.

@Tony082423 No it’s not

I keep telling people this - Doncic’s persistent hamstring injuries, Giannis’ persistent calf strains, soft tissue injuries aren’t good signs. The window to win with them is smaller than people realize.

@HughMungous120 @LakeShowYo U would have shit your pants if that were you.

@LakeShowYo If I was that fan I would have said “that’s some tough talk with your father standing next to you ready to change your tampon”

OKC fan: “Now you don’t have to play defense” Reaves: “Shut the f*ck up! He’s hurt!” OKC fan: “F*ck you” Reaves: “F*CK YOU!” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@Jacobtheclipper @SloHoopsFan Is Bronny good there? No.Mac wouldn't have got 3 dribbles off on Cason Wallace tho lol.

Somehow Bronny has a guaranteed NBA contract but Mac McClung cant make a roster?? 3 turnovers in less than a minute, this is not a NBA player (@SloHoopsFan)

@CuffsTheLegend 2 weeks from now this game won't mean anything.Besides if Luka is hurt for the playoffs.Shit happens sometimes.

@Tony082423 you actually typed that lol

this is exactly why i didn’t get my hopes up like these delusional Laker fans that really think these Lakers are championship contenders this season these Lakers cannot beat OKC or San Antonio in a 7 game series. You can stop lying to yourselves now lol

@Raphael77960106 @_JasonLT We actually don't know for sure. He had a bad series last year but the prior years he actually played better in the playoffs.

@_JasonLT He’s a regular season player the playoffs are different but we have a whole bunch of regular season dick riders that can’t see it

Austin’s 12th turnover against OKC this year leads to a 9-2 Thunder start. He has to make a huge adjustment in his approach against this level of defensive pressure.

@KendrickPerkins Maybe don't speak about a coach losing team if u don't actually know🫡

Gotta give 💐 to JJ Reddick for turning this team around… because before the All-Star break I thought they were Dead Bird Tall Grass!!!

@BeardDaDon ?

Bro the Lakers are not beating the Cavs 😭

@RealSkipBayless Under performing contract? Embid, Paul George, Anthony Davis,Trae Young, Ja,Zion,are all under performing there contracts alot more then LeBron.

Just saw the list in which LeBron is leading the NBA in underperforming his contract. Duh. He's making 52.6 mil to often stand in the corner and watch Luka and AR create shots.

@Rachel__Nichols As a Lakers fan I agree with you. He's having a good enough year to be MVP but some years there's 3 or 4 guys who are having mvp years. Once the Lakers build a team of defense around him his mvp will come.

1) I still think Luka's in the conversation and in fact have him ranked higher on my current MVP ballot than the majority of my peers (including my co-host 😂). In fact, I have him ranked higher on my current ballot than the NBA's own website does on theirs. 2) as I said on our most recent pod, I think Luka's defense is annually underrated in the playoffs. Preseason, I also picked the Lakers to finish at No. 3 in the West because of the sheer force of Luka, a take that was not exactly the most popular at the time. 3) As I've said for YEARS, MVP voting can be frustrating because the criteria is so broad that what gets a guy elected one year wouldn't get him elected another year. I've lobbied for a long time for the NBA to overhaul it's award system the way, say, the NFL has. 4) Fan bases can get crazy sometimes over players they love, and I actually really dig that. Passion is what makes sports fun.

@TheTruth8240 We're u not watching the games vs the nets and other horrible teams. This is how the Lakers play then they go on a run at some point.

@TheHulchal She's literally done that on any fued she had heading into a title match.

Okay, so Stephanie Vaquer is 100% retaining the title now. Liv Morgan did what is considered as 'PROHIBITED' in the wrestling , specially before a title match.. She touched the belt, kissed the belt & cursed her chances of winning it at WrestleMania. #WWERAW

@camilliapasagui @Lakers @SpectrumSN Same

Uh.. anyone else who’s watching the @Lakers game on @SpectrumSN missing the scoreboard on screen or is it just me?

@MIK3MCDANIEL They have a top 3 guy almost every year they will be fine.

Duke as a program can’t comeback from this man you had Cam Boozer and Cooper Flagg b2b years and couldn’t win a natty

@_JasonLT Who misses on purpose with 10 seconds left? Yeah not fouling right away was gutsy for sure.

How about Dan Hurley not intentionally missing that second free throw AND not fouling right away? That was crazy. It’s all good, that side of the bracket was playing for 2nd place anyway. That Michigan/Arizona game is going to be an absolute war.

@blueyodel1976 @Roundearththeo1 @bballbreakdown Why the defense could just play defense and the clock would start.

@Roundearththeo1 @bballbreakdown Yeah it’s embarrassing. Ten second count and shot clock should start as soon as the ball touches anything in play including the ground.

I love Steve Lappas, he's great at his job. It's problematic that he's unaware why Michigan just let the ball roll for a while. Nothing to do with getting full 30 sec shot clock as much as the game clock continues to run, and when you're up big, clock running is your friend.

@iam_johnw One can compete on defense in the league the other can not it's pretty simple.

Bronny James scores 30 in a g league game and it’s “ he deserves real minutes on the lakers “ Mac Mcclung drops 50 pts and triple doubles in the same league and it’s “ it’s the g league lmao “

@TheNBABase Boston Guy just had to find a reason to boost up Brown.

SI’s Chris Mannix Snubs Luka Dončić from Top 4 MVP Candidates, Calls His Defense ‘One of the Worst in the League’ "I’ve got Luca Dončić in my second tier. Now, I know there’s going to be some criticism about Luka being on the second tier—he’s been outstanding offensively—I just can’t get past the defensive numbers for Luca Dončić. The defensive numbers have just been they’ve been bad. I want to read some of this: Luka has an individual defensive rating this year of 115.6. That would rank 119th among the 180 players with 25-plus starts this season. So he has been, in any measurable statistic, one of the worst defensive players in the league. And when the competition is this close, I’ve got to factor that in. I’ve got to include what you’re bringing to the table defensively. He’s the best offensive player in the game, the best offensive weapon in the game, but defensively he’s coming up short. My first tier is the group of players that we’ve been talking about: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, Jaylen Brown. Those four guys are in my first tier and those are the four guys that I am considering casting my MVP vote for." (Via @SInow )

@jeff_on_sports Why cause Prince who can't drive tried to drive on him?

yeah wemby never averaging 3.8 blocks a game again
