  1. That's why Kobe and Jordan will forever be my GOATs.

    "The schedule got the best of us."

    Seriously? Pathetic

  2. By the way no mention of how well the Clippers played especially without PG more talk about a back-to-back which every team does

  3. Luka smoke cigarettes? No wonder his teeth be extra yellow lol. He's young and has a lot of potential. Hope he realizes it sooner than later

  4. Shout out to Tim B for not bowing down and playing along this nonsense that the lakers are any good, those the same fans calling Lebron the goat 🤦🏾‍♂️ stop it, get some help!

  5. Mavs fan here. I dont think Luka would ever jumpship but if he does because of a little adversity then so be it. He can go.

  6. This group shows you the difference between someone in max who’s a fan talking sports and someone like Tim B, who actually watches the WHOLE NBA.

  7. Legler let the secret out about Luka. I think he values money and control of the ball over winning. He could possible make over $1b if he plays long enough just off supermaxes. I think Luka never wins a championship but gets a statue outside of the Mavs Stadium.

  8. For the life of me, I do not understand why that hillbilly sitting on the right (not Tim Legler) is on ESPN at all. Dude needs to be racing his tractor in Idaho.

  9. Bontemps’ take is always bad. Dude is horrible as an analyst. I want to see him eat his words when lakers win the first round regardless of who they face

  10. And Bontemps Cavs didn’t let Carlos boozer walk. He spurned them for more money after verbally committing to sign an extension. Look that up. And just stay out of the spotlight bro. You’ve been giving horrible takes as an analyst

  11. EXCUSE EXCUSE EXCUSE!
    AFTER LOSSE!!!!

    LAKERS WIN..OHHH LEBRON IS GOAT!
    AD AND LEBRON IS BEST DUO!!!

    LAKERS LOSSE AFTER REFEREE NOT CARRY LAKERS AGAINST CLIPPERS
    REFEREE GIVE BELOW 30FTA PER GAME!
    LAKERS WIN THE GAME IF REFEREE GIVE LAKERS ABOVE 30 FTA AGAINST BEST TEAM!!!
    SUNS COACH IS CORRECT LAKERS WIN BY FREE THROW!!!

  12. Timmy good times is spot on with that comparison on Dallas handling Luka the way the Cavs did with Bron.

  13. Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Pelicans Scenarios

    If they all tied…
    Clippers
    vs. Lakers: 4-0
    vs. Warriors: 2-2
    vs. Pelicans: 0-3
    Overall: 6-5

    Lakers
    vs. Clippers: 0-4
    vs. Warriors: 3-1
    vs. Pelicans: 3-1
    Overall: 6-6

    Warriors
    vs. Clippers: 2-2
    vs. Lakers: 1-3
    vs. Pelicans: 2-2
    Overall: 5-7

    Pelicans
    vs. Clippers: 3-0
    vs. Lakers: 1-3
    vs. Warriors: 2-2
    Overall: 6-5

    5. Pelicans
    6. Clippers
    7. Lakers
    8. Warriors

    The highest the Pelicans can win is 43. Their next 2 are Knicks and @ Minnesota.

    Now let's say Clippers beats Portland but loses @ Phoenix. Let's say Warriors and Lakers both win the final 2.

    5. Warriors (44W)
    6. Pelicans (43W)
    7. Clippers (43W)
    8. Lakers (43W)

    The H2H records between the Pels, Clippers, and Lakers will decide the order.

    Pelicans: 4-3
    Clippers: 4-3
    Lakers: 3-5

    Since Pels and Clippers are tied , Pels will still be above the Clippers due to having the better conference record.

    Conference Records (next tiebreaker)
    Pelicans: 31-22 (if they win their final 2)
    Warriors: 30-22 (if they win their final 2)
    Clippers: 26-26 (if they win POR, lose @ PHX)
    Lakers: 27-25 (if they win their final 2)

    Looking like my Clippers needs to win both games this weekend if Pelicans gets in the mix. If that's the case, Clippers will end up 5th. They own the tiebreaker over the Warriors.

    Clippers fans better hope the Pelicans split or lose both games. If a split and Clippers beat Portland but lose @ Phoenix because we all know Kawhi isn't playing in a B2B…

    5. Warriors (44W)
    6. Clippers (43W)
    7. Lakers (43W)
    8. Pelicans (42W)

    If the Warriors lose @ Sac, Clippers lose @ Phoenix, and everyone else wins their games…

    5. Pelicans (43W)
    6. Clippers (43W)
    7. Lakers (43W)
    8. Warriors (43W)

    Pelicans throwing a monkey wrench in the equation. But I say they're going to split. They're losing one these 2 games. NY and @ Minny looks tough. Minny is desperate. Clippers can't afford to be tied with Pelicans and must beat Portland.

    5. Warriors (44W)
    6. Clippers (43W)
    7. Lakers (43W)
    8. Pelicans (42W)

    If they all win their final 2 games…

    5. Clippers (44W)
    6. Warriors (44W)
    7. Lakers (43W)
    8. Pelicans (43W)

  14. Lakers fans in their feelings cause someone actually watches and speaks the truth. They’re mediocre. Have been mediocre. And will continue to be mediocre.

  15. its crazy how the media makes so much excuses for the lakers and then when it comes to Kyrie they hate

  16. We should never take as a loss. Take it as a learning of what needs to be moving forward 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯

  17. Bontemps is such a biased hater. And he doesn't convey passion, joy or anything. I am really not having a "good time" listening to him. Why does he even have a job on TV?

  18. Cuban made a huge mistake trading defense and depth for flat earth guy. Same mistake the Lakers made with Westbrick. It will take a couple years to undo that mistake.
