    It's funny how last season the narrative with Luka and Kyrie was supposedly that Luka had to stop playing "Luka-ball", but then when he gets to LA, everyone is saying they have to hurry up and basically start playing "Luka-ball". 😂 I agree with the latter, give the ball to Luka and let him cook!

    Blaming Sam Presti is insane. All the dude can do is bring the talent in, and he did that. Beyond that its up to the players and the coaches

  23. @eready502

    No disrespect for shai but this man is forty doing this he should get that and break another record be the oldest player to be mvp or ar least a candidate

  26. @eready502

    Hold up i just thought of something if kyrie and luka can make it to the finals what do u think luka and lebron and the players we got thats ship beeeee serious

    Are the Lakers actually a threat in the West, or was this just a fluke game against Denver? 🤔 Can they really take down OKC, Denver, or even Dallas in a seven-game series?

  38. @SleepyLIJ

    IDK and IDC WHAT YOU LAKER FANS ARE SMOKIN, BUT YOU ARE NOT BEATING THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER!!!!!!!!!

  41. @G.Threats

    Key thing they need to do to lock in.

    Hold a meeting and have JJ, Luka, and Lebron sit and talk to each player 1 by 1 as a 3 person Leadership team.

    1. Ask each player where they see themselves having the most impact in supporting a championship run?
    2. Ask each player what they need to work on individually over the next 20 games to prepare for a 20 Playoffs win to get a championship?
    3. Ask them what they need from the coaching staff and the 2 stars to support them in being successful?
    4. Ensure they walk away knowing what the coach needs from them and how Luka and Lebron plan to use them in game.
    5. Ensure that the entire team and staff understand the conditioning needed to make a deep playoff run.

    Lastly

    Lebron Luka and Reaves MUST UNDERSTAND that the turnovers have to be cut in half within the next 5 games and stay there.
    They average over 10-12 turnovers with just those 3 players. That will get you a loss in many playoff games.
    In addition they need to shoot close to 85% from the FT.
    Luka, Lebron, and Reaves should average almost 15-20 FT a game. That's 12 to 18 PPG if they shoot over 85%.

    Cut turnovers in half and hit FT at 85% as a team and They have a championship team.

    This is amazing win in Denver nuggets Luka 77 magic LBJ23 AR15 u can beat the dallas mavs nxt game lets go Lakers let's go!!

  48. @gifi11

    I was super skeptical of JJ being our HC. I never have an issue being wrong. JJ is doing great. Luka Magic looks great. Bron is Bron, and we need a statue of Rob.

    OKC's weakness is litterally their size. They still can't beat big teams. The Lakers are playing small ball but they are a big small ball team. And Dort is the only real stopper on the team. He's only one person. He can't stop Luka or Lebron. Let alone be in two places to defend them both.
