  1. lakers in the playoffs wil exposed like the last 3 years. lakers defense is horrible nor do they have depth. lakers best players don't play defense

  2. 10:11 Are we really acting like that wasn't a clear as day foul on Brown to Chet? "Touched" is wild as it's impossible to tell how hard Brown is pulling on him there, and you could easily also say he "yanked" or "horse-collared" him with the same amount of certainty. 10:14 Brown also clearly just running straight through Caruso's screen, he hit him running mid chest. These are just stupid/unnecessary fouls by Brown.

  3. Lakers after a God like game from Luka and the squad narrowly defeating a team not in the playoff picture always gets the media to be like “they are winning the finals”

  4. The only danger this season the Lakers are to anyone in the playoffs are to themselves thinking they can win a series and over exert themselves and get injured. Any team has a chance to win if healthy. So the Lakers have a chance because there relatively healthy. But beyond that there's almost no chance. Dalton Kinect is underrated. LeBron needs to be in step back position of 17-24 minutes a night. They need a starting point guard and a starting center. Smart is good, Jake is good, Luka is good but they don't have the center and other defenders to help him. Because defense isn't his strong suit. He's not paid for that. So to not have the personal and say they can win is very unlikely.

  5. Windy always getting on his knees for Lebron and company….they have had a couple good games….that doesnt make them contenders IF they make the playoffs they gonna get blown out the water once they get there it'll be short l8ved for sure

  6. Wilt has the most records in history over 60 plus to this day without even researching his defense at all. No one in history comes close but sga is def best player in the world rn

  7. Wilt should have had 90 more games on his 20+ point streak if he wasnt ejected for that technical foul 60+ years ago

  8. Boston missing 3 all stars not just starters. Thunder is not deep enough for a 7 game series against Boston. Good luck winning in TD garden.

  9. I saw Windhorst at a restaurant in LA a few years back, he ate 6 filet mignons, 22 baked potatoes and 8 Caesar salads. I left before dessert was served.

  10. Left out the 51-10-9 part, no luka praise for defensive improvements, ESPN still glazing jaylen brown for some unknown reason
