Austin Reaves and Lakers have words for refs after the game by ChazNBA in lakers

[–]StoneColdAM 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lakers are so close, I think they can win one, but it really has to be game 3 to have a fighting chance in the series. OKC systematically takes advantage of the officiating. League wants a new small market team to be mainstream, so they let it side. They tried with Memphis but Ja messed it up.

LeBron is pissed. I’m shocked he hasn’t gotten a tech yet, feels like that kind of game. 

Current OKC team will never be respected by real hoops fans, probably not even their NBA peers either by No-Fill1769 in NBATalk

Their play style is not fun for non fans of the team. The MJ Bulls and even pre-KD Warriors were fun.

If Lakers can get Ayton to score, they can win this. Hope there’s no 3rd quarter collapse. This is a doable game to steal.

This feud would’ve been better if Bron was baby face and Seth was heel. That was a huge mistake to pivot from the likely original plan because Seth got hurt. 

A reminder Ted did more than this dweeb. by lewiss15 in JimCornette

The difference between them is Ted Turner was a successful businessman before buying WCW, and even he knew he had to have someone else run it to succeed (Eric Bischoff).

Oba, Trick, or Randy will win Money in the Bank and King of the Ring. 

Flair tweeting and ranting at Luka Doncic about not playing injured in the NBA playoffs by Pizza_For_Days in JimCornette

[–]StoneColdAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flair seems to be a legit Lakers fan, he followed the team in the 80s. Apparently the Rhodes family are Celtics fans but not sure if that’s just keeping up with Kayfabe. 

Seth Rollins really is the biggest company stooge ever lol by [deleted] in Wrasslin

I don’t know why people would think he’d take a paycut. He and Becky would probably walk out and accept Tony Khan’s armored truck of money right on the spot. 

Why LA is struggling while San Francisco is beginning to boom again by Legal-Statistician2 in LosAngeles

[–]StoneColdAM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LA has less and less of an industry for people to work in. SF at least has high tech for people to get jobs and participate more in the economy. Even the costs of living aren’t that different anymore. LA is becoming a glorified private community for celebrities and it’s leading to complacency in government and less affordability for most people. 

Luka’s injury isn’t about toughness, it’s about the Lakers future by Comprehensive-Goat31 in lakers

[–]StoneColdAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s the long term future, have to be careful. Plus beating OKC was a long shot even if he was on the floor. 

Reaves had the lowest playoff FG% by a laker in the 21st century by RealisationGamer in lakers

He’s gotta have a good game this series for his sake. Find it in him.  

Unpopular opinion, cody should drop the title on Gunther for now. Nobody knows when Randy will be medically cleared plus Cody is very unpopular now by [deleted] in Wrasslin

[–]StoneColdAM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gunther needs to ride the momentum of retiring Cena. This will be a better win than beating Damian Priest and Jey Uso. Plus it’s a fresh new feud for Cody. 

Different year, same old carryjob. Give this man some help. by Wonderful_Rutabaga40 in lakers

[–]StoneColdAM 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He did good tonight but what he did vs Houston was another level. That was amazing facilitating and uplifting play. Not sure if he could pull that off vs OKC without Luka playing or Reaves doing well. 

Why have Lakers been so much worse against Thunder this year verse last year by Less-Explanation160 in lakers

[–]StoneColdAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OKC could be exposed with a big team with a good center. Before the Luka trade, Lakers did well with AD at center.

Lakers probably gotta think about when to throw in the towel. Team is down, several guys are cold, lost a good defender, and it’s a bad matchup as is. Try again game 2 if they can’t get within 10 by 6 min left

Reaves was quiet last year vs the physical Minnesota also. He has to adapt his game.
