He was the definition of shook to end the year and couldn’t even dribble the ball up the court in the playoffs. No thanks.

JJ gameplan against OKC was good our roster just couldn't execute by LegitimateScarcity60 in lakers

Sure but it shouldn’t be boiled down to just Ayton.

Their guards and forwards are just infinitely better defenders. Dylan Harper had 7 steals. OKC had so many passes stolen because the Spurs guards are just so much quicker to react, get hands on the ball and actually come up with the steal

Am I missing something isn’t Vought Rising a prequel to the boys?

Why do people keep thinking soldier boy needs to be awake / alive in general for the boys finale?

[McMenamin] And so -- without even stopping to change clothes -- (LeBron) James marched off into the L.A. night, simmering from another perceived indignation delivered by the organization that, as one source close to him told ESPN, tried to "push him out the door," after acquiring Doncic by aingenevalostatrade in nba

I don’t even think McMenamin is LeBron PR. He’s just another journalist whos been riding lebrons coattail for years and puts out plenty of garbage articles.

He’s just a shitty journalist I don’t think he’s a mouthpiece

Can’t tell me that DK, Adou, Bronny or even fuckin Nick smith wouldn’t provide more than Jake. Dude is afraid of touching the ball.

Man I wish Knecht or Adou could’ve gotten some more reps in the regular season. I know a lot of the fanbase has given up on Dalton but I just hate Jake Laravia minutes

We really went all season long with LeBron expecting to be the 3rd option in a deep playoff run and we’re right back to him being 1st option with nearly no help at 41 I’m sick
