    It felt like the score was stuck at 87-84 Suns for an eternity. and the Suns stayed stuck at 87 points for another eternity. Bron still being money driving to the rack late in Year #21 is crazy.

  3. iRockaflame

    That game was awful, but good at the same time lmao.

  4. Im__Ron__Burgundy

    Suns not named Kevin Durant were 20/53 in this game.

  5. OblivionNA

    Just wanna say Kevin Harlan is the best announcer of all time

  6. MediocreTake

    It’s honestly incredible that the first time that Kevin Durant and Lebron matched up was in 2008. And now we’re here in 2023 and these two are still going at it.

    They were both putting up 20+ back then and nothing has changed.

  7. Jayson1222

    Wow I’ve missed Lebron vs KD match ups. The two best forwards of their generation head to head, yet have such different play styles that they both mastered

  8. alex_zz9

    What a game. So glad basketball is back

  9. LeBrown_James666

    Holy carry by kd💀
    Great to see LeBron still playing at that level

  10. jokull1234

    Darvin Ham is a basketball terrorist on half court offense.

  12. KeithKlossGOAT

    RIP Lebron James Minute Restriction

    10/24/23-10/26/23

  13. ahr3410

    Turns out only showing up for two quarters is fine as long as it’s 2 and 4

  15. sbenfsonw

    Lebron +22 in a 5 point win. Played the entire 4th

    Poor dude

  16. cs_grad_2023

    AD dropped 30-13, and down the stretch guarded KD as a center…he doesn’t have the fanbase to ever get the props he deserves but that’s who AD is.

  17. WhatTheRickIsDoin

    LeBron doesn’t give a shit that they’re on live

  18. nutelamitbutter

    Nurk is not a good defender vs LeBron, who knew

  20. Elitealice

    The fact we struggling to beat a suns team without Beal and Book is alarming

    Wood needs to start

  21. daveed1297

    Moments like these LeBron shows he’s still got it. Playoff time without a torn tendon in his foot, he can still do some real damage, especially without a minutes restriction.

    KD remains an absolute sniper, but can he and Vogel lift up the roster around him?

  23. LanceTheKnapper

    So LeBron has been +7 in a 12 point loss (29 minutes) and +22 in a 5 point win (35 minutes).

    So if my math is right they’re -37 in 32 minutes with him off through two games. The Lakers really need to figure out their depth that was supposed to be a strength this season.

  24. AnkitPancakes

    Suns just desperately needed just 1 more competent playmaker. They honestly were doing fine (given their roster tn) for the first 40 mins.

    Suns didn’t score from 8:53 -> 1:55 in the 4th quarter lol and must have had turnovers on like 10 plays lol. They either tried to force the ball to KD and turned it over, or KD tried to force a ball out of a double and turned it over in that span.

    I think if either of Booker or Beal was in, this is a blowout tbh. KD just needed one more outlet to take over some playmaking responsibility in the fourth as well as limit Eric Gordon mins lol (probably needs to see 15mpg instead of 30).

    Honestly not a bad loss for Phoenix, despite how ugly that fourth quarter looked. Eubanks, Grayson, Goodwin and Allen were pretty solid alongside Nurk for most of the game.

  25. BubbleGumGuy94

    Even though the lakers won, you gotta be concerned that they struggled against KD and a bunch of bench players
