    It’s one thing when a team is just outright playing better than you, but the Pelicans gave up in this game so early.

    Absolute pathetic effort after the 1st Quarter.

  4. simon2105

    We missed out on 20 seasons of game 7 level Lebron in December, we were ROBBED!

  5. Xaldes

    This was the most competitive IST West semifinals in Vegas Golden Knights history.

  6. FeminismIsTheBestIsm

    Genuine question. If a billionaire offered LeBron $1m for every regular season game he won, could he beat the Warriors 73-9 record?

  8. EatDeeply

    Questions have to be raised about Zion. Doesn’t seem like he wants to win.

  9. Vencrest

    The Lakers are +121 in point differential in 6 games this In-Season Tournament. Dominant run on the way to the IST Championship.

  12. ephemeralfugitive

    Pelicans 100% went out partying in Vegas last night lmao

  14. Human_mind

    This headline isn’t accurate enough for what we just watched.

  15. PretendDubs

    Nba fucked up neutral site Lakers are the greatest team of all time.

  17. smarmy-

    completely embarrassing game from zion… i am completely out on him no potential. not a winning player

  20. Triiiple_Threat

    That 4th quarter was basically a special edition of Who He Play For.

  21. AstroCoffee

    Zion Williamson really said “I live for moments like that” ahead of the IST elimination games and proceeded to drop back-to-back stinkers

    Pels have a good thing going and will be in the playoffs this year, health allowing, but Zion has to be much better for them to actually make any real noise

  23. Nothing2Chere00

    Pacer fan here. Congrats laker fans. Get ready to run.

  24. -Coleman-Trebor

    If you told anyone on this subreddit 4 years ago that 38 year old LeBron would still be outplaying Zion you’d get clowned on.

  25. CaLiKiNG805

    This team is night and day defensively now that our wings are healthy. The last two games the defense still looked good while AD was out which has been insanely rare for years now

  26. Zloggt

    The desert is no place to be for a water bird…

  27. JJ_The_JetpIane

    LeBron needs to seriously be in the MVP discussion

  29. Macdaddy4prez

    Full quarter of garbage time. You love to see it

  30. waynehead310

    Someone needs to tell the Lakers the point differential doesn’t matter anymore

  31. jacobythefirst

    Asswhooping happens in the NBA

    But it’s a god damn disgrace and embarrassing on national tv in a elimination game

    Zion needs to check his god damn ego and actually improve as a player and stop being fucking lazy and stagnating (if not outright regressing) as a NBA player who is 23

  33. k1ngkoala

    AD +35, Lebron +36, Reddish +31

    That’s just insane

  34. AsianJimmer

    Bron winning the Vegas crowd for the team he will own and build in the future.

  35. Mysterious-Part-8443

    23 year old Zion getting outpaced by LeBron at 39 is objectively hilarious

  36. Jumpy_Distribution96

    The Lakers seem to have too much depth in this season. If their coach can keep the majority pleased and in form with his rotation, I would consider them top tier challengers (that’s my superficial approach, don’t eat me, I don’t keep up that much). The good thing is that guys like Hachimura and Reaves seem as motivated as tonight’s starters, despite seeming like they have to fight from the beginning for some game time (I guess other players could interpret this as disrespect, as if the franchise didn’t appreciate their effort and contribution in last season’s great run?). Probably LeBron’s reputation ensures meritocracy.

  37. Farter22

    That BI/Zion press conference question about what to do with 100k in Vegas hits different now

  38. DarkPalkion

    30/5/8 in 22 mins and 12 shots what the fuck

  39. _Wado3000

    Tyrese Haliburton is the same age as Zion, and a few years younger than BI. He just beat Giannis and Dame, with no other all star player on his team.

    He came to play. He was **serious**. Our guys had a complete lack of seriousness, and Bron is playing some of his best basketball in years at fucking 39.

    It **sucks** when the world sees you as unserious and you prove them right. Desperately hoping we grow from this embarrassment at every level.

  40. raven_pat

    I can already hear the “InSeasonTournament doesnt count” if the lakers win the finals.
