8:02 some one yelled Kevin Durant what team u going to now LMFAO
wheres the clutch timeout? ref save the ball
WHat a nice thrilling game! Another Durant-James duel, love to see it ๐๐
cheaters
ะะตะนะบะตัั
ะผะพะปะพะดัั
That clutch 3 by AR. It's good to see that LBJ trust AR when it comes to crucial game.
Elimination game and devin booker choking, what else is new? xD
๐๐๐๐๐
LeBron controlling KD as usual๐คฃ
That timeout call was dirty
"James taking over" been hearing that since 2003 lmao
" I'm crazy" – Lebron,2023.
Ham can not coach. His rotations are terrible, no big lineups at all!!
the last play seems like the game was robbed for the lakers tho
KD for the win!!!
.. didnt see Bridges was open.. but KD did see the goal
Love u Lakers. U guys & referries stress my nerves at times ๐
They should get derozan or lavine instead of beal injury prone
I cant believe how stupid that last 3 was from KD. You are supposed to be a killer scorer and you shoot a random deep 3 when you have 3 more seconds to position yourself better. It felt like he was saying "fuck it"
No more scores in the thumbnails absolutely horrible, ruins it
again DLO is missing like in playoffs haha
Bruhh stop showing the score on the thumbnail
This is the reason why Durant will not get his respect. Carry on
Yonko LeBron
1st-What happened with the 6th Durant foul on LBJ??
2nd-Anthony Davis fell down and didnt get hurt.
3rd-Grayson still has ZERO clock awareness. That looked just like the one that ended the Bucks season last year.
4th- That KD airball looked familiar.
5th-Not a fan of headband Booker.
Come on Suns how many years you've played with the Lakers since LBJ play to them yet you didn't consider that LBJ always went to his left to drive strong to the basket
Austin Reaves is HIM!
Stop showing score Iโm thumbnail damn it
Durant has 0.001% clutchness in his DNA
Not a fan of both teams but that loose ball time out is so BS. Refs wanted the Lakers to win this. Rigged
So niggas will cry about the timeout but that just shows they didn't watch the game. Refs called Reaves for a defensive foul earlier in the 4th quarter because it saved Booker from picking up his 6th foul which woulda got him kicked out the game. It was an obvious offensive foul. They also tried to save Nurkic form picking up his 6th foul a lot earlier than he did. Can't blame the loss on a timeout when refs were saving the Suns important players from picking up their 6th fouls and refs had nothing to do with them getting out rebounded on offensive boards or turning over the ball so much
Tired of hearing about Lebron age and how many years he played, its a built in excuse for when he lose and a almighty praise for when he wins. Be glad when he retires, his game has no skills just pushes people out the way for layups all night.
๐ฏ STOP SHOWING THE SCORE IN THE THUMBNAIL!!!!! IT LITERALLY DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE!! ๐ฏ
He is HIM!!!
The nba needs a g-league for refs who f*ck up . That way, they can be demoted and need to work their way back up – or not.
9 minutes highlight vid to watch the last 10 points scored? Wtf
