You know Laker players dont give a sh** what SAS saying on tv. Cuz they know he is a bone of fide scrub
Anthony “6 Flags” Davis doing what he does best. Up & Down like the roller coasters
Kobe would have hit the buzzer 😒
the mavs won the brooklyn trade in the long run , brunson good but he isn't kyrie
This Lakers team only shows to when there is extra money on the line. 😐 That's whack..
Anthony Davis has to be traded. Cause the inconsistency is getting ridiculous at this point .
Le queen should of closed that game with kyrie on him smh le queen will never be a closer
AD dropping 10 points 4-10 from the field in 36 min insane numbers after coming off a 26 point performance… Tim Duncan wish’s he was half the PF as AD
What do you mean? They're perfect. Perfectly mediocre 🤣 that's that LeBron effect.
Why they make first take work on Thanksgiving. Got Damien Woody thinking about Yams and Turkey.
Make 4q free throws and lakers win. Lebron was out of gas and missed a bad 3 and made a critical turnover. Thats all coachable.
39 and in better shape than anyone on his team?! Hmmm, how is it possible he’s still managing to play like he’s in his 20’s…curious how much does he spend on his “diet”?
The lakers cant be elite consistently cuz ad is inconsistent. As a lakers fan you just wish ad had a motor like embiid or giannis.
I thought the lakers won the offseason, isn’t that what perk and Stephen a said?
Lakers are not winning a championship this season and people need to accept it
Lakers are certainly a much better team this year than years prior. When fully healthy and if they can find some consistency, they are one of the best teams in the west. It really on depends on AD. Same story over and over again. He needs to be the best player on the floor
You see how Stephen conveniently skipped over LeBrons 2 late missed free throws, costly turnover to AD and missed 3 to tie the game but he's their goat!
Anthony "Always Disappointing" Davis
Lebron is fault also 40 shots and turnover machine
Self proclaimed goat gettin paid 50mil with 21 years in the league and still can't create a shot over a smaller defender. Lmao embarassing af.
AD is issue! Lakers didn’t just pay for his defense. His offense is way to inconsistent to be the guy next to almost 40 year old Lebron.
AD needs to request a trade go full Harden. So sick of this
Darvin Scam plain & simple
As long as Lebron is playing, there wont be any cohesion. Lebron literally takes away playing time from others when he feels like the spotlight aint on him. Mans expects his whole team to become defenders + catch n shoot so he can play "point guard". EVERYTIME Bron is out, the pace/ballmovement/defense skyrocket.
drop that awful outro
AD RUINED MY 23 LEG PROP PARLAY. 10 PTS??? 22/23 SMH.
The lakers have no offense set they run @ 5 wide out also 4 wide out does not work cheap offense for a weak coach fire Darvon ham
Honestly lebron should have pass the ball back 2 AR for the winning shot when they were only down 1 point😂
Wow SAS such a profound opinion… it's not like the Lakers erased a 20 point lead while AD only had 10 points… and Kyrie hit a game-winner.
Stephen A working on Thanksgiving day 😂
LeTurnover back at it again LeChoking in the Final seconds and REFUSING to take the Final shot
Bron was awful in the clutch. He missed two fts, bricked a stupid 3, then turned the ballover on a stupid pass to AD, followed by clanking the game tying 3. Oh, but it's just everyone else. I hate the Lesystem and can't wait until this Bron era in LA is over with.
Lakers need to make a deal for Lavine or Derozen if they wanna win a chip.
The lakers players use the same celebrations Russell should copyright it and get paid 😂
No dissrespect to AD but he is just not a supestar. He is a good player, nothing more.
Missing 3 key role players & On a back to back smh relax SA😂
Nobody cares. KAT> AD. Naz Reid. Don’t say sht til you beat us 🤣
When LeBron 1on1 with Kyrie Irving at the end of the game and he passed to AD instead of shooting. And he is the GOAT 😂😂lol.MJ and KOBE would not passed they would have shot the ball and probably make the shot aka the real clutch GOAT 🐐🐐.
AND PREDICTABLY
FIRST TAKE ONLY FOCUSES ON THE LAKERS
as usuall AD was missing and Dlo sleeping on defence
I had a sneaky suspicion on a “back to back” that AD wouldn’t show up in SOME way yesterday 😠😠😠😠 if he even mildly showed up and put some points on the board in the 2nd half we win that game but NOOO… smh 🤨
This is why LeBron will never be the goat, forget the clutch 2 free throws that he missed, forget about the clear drive he had and right when he jumped to lay the ball up with no one in front of him, he passes it out to Prince, forget about the dish off to a.d while a.d was getting double teammed instead of shooting the wide open midrange…… how do you force a screen so Kyrie can guard you of the switch, You're 5 inches and 56 pounds heavier than Kyrie….. so instead of manhandling him and driving to the basket, he stops and tries to shoot. over Kyrie for a 3 pointer? Jordan would never do that this is the difference between an assassin and someone who's scared in clutch moments. no one better say it was because LeBron was tired, miss me with that, whoever says that clearly didn't watch the game. He could have driven the basket and gotten the and 1 and tie it up with a free throw, but we all know what happens when it comes to free throws and LeBron James in clutch moments
The Mavs have had a great start to the season and this is the first glimpse of coverage and it’s not even about them it’s about the lakers and Lebron. They’re a 1st round exit at best, please can we talk about some relevant teams.
AD playing like he's in year 20
Last nights game was a schedule loss. Lakers second night of a back to back and the Mavs were off for two days. Kyrie alluded to it after the game. Great comeback for the Lakers they just fell short.
a lot of times stephen…you disapoint with your bias comments.
Lebron like normal passing the ball in the clutch moment. Him passing to AD at that moment was not the mentality you need to win ball games. Kobe or Mike, Melo or Wade would have done it !!!
I was disappointed as well.
