Laker fans got the receipts ready to go
Heads up to Windhorst for mentioning LeBron was at first questionable to start the game
In the playoffs that Wemby & these spurs haven’t played in I’m not so sure Spurs best Lakers in best of 7. Thunder yes but not so much the spurs over the Lakers.

Shump has been great on here
Shump don’t switch up on LA when they win on thursday. You glazing tf outta the thunder
We'll all know tomorrow night when the Lakers visits Oklahoma. This game will be about establishing dominance in the West.
Fire Malika
Nobody's safe, many teams are hungry. It comes down to conditioning physically and mentally, and star power. The Lakers have enough, but the stars have to do more against the top teams and that's ok. Who's up for the challenge, we'll see who folds
Look, lakers is the least team that I like. But whether they win in OKC or not. Won't define who any of them are, because Lakers are the biggest threat in the nba playoffs & although I'm not a fan of this current laker squad I don't hate this team, but for all the haters…I Would Be Worried Of The Lakers Because They Are The Team To Beat. I HOPE IM WRONG BUT LAKERS ARE DANGEROUS
yo did she just say "AFICIALLY" instead of officially at the beginning or am i crazy? LOL
The Knicks ranked above the Lakers is hilarious!
Lakers literally cooked down the stretch of the regular season last year and beat the Thunder multiple times in that stretch then got gentleman’s swept in the first round. This season is shaping up to be exact same thing, not much has changed for them they are just a little bit more regular season hot than they were last year. They are a regular season team not built for the playoffs and it’s obvious to anyone who knows ball
the fact that Luka aint in the mvp convo is crazy they dont wanna even talk about it espn is sad asf
Luka is the mvp idk why no one talking bout it
As a right fielder/pitcher prospect, my #1 pitch was a curveball sinker. When my catcher wanted it high, he would point up twice.🤘PEOII CIA CHIEF USMCIAOO8 Olympic Instructor sandlot uninvited
I swear ESPN has done this video 20 times this year lol.
I love Doncic, but I really don’t get Lakers fan taking any serious evaluation of their team as a slight. Lakers haven’t proven anything yet. Why should they get flowers as contenders when all they’ve proven is that they’re second tier?
THAT JACKET SHUMP WEARING IS FIRE….
Shump is probably right but either way Doncic MVP disrespect continues. Luka is top 3 in the MVP race. His stats are at least a tie with We by and his team has played better than OKC and Spurs in March. But none of them gave Luka his respect. I mean why play a clip about his MVP case and then skip over it and talk about upcoming games instead? Disrespectful!
OKC needed a game 7 vs the 4th seed Pacers, and Hali's injury to seal the deal. Spurs are mostly a bunch of young dudes.
I dont think Lakers will come out of the west, but i really wouldnt be surprised if they did.
NOPE
All LeBron former teammates be hating lol
i wouldnt want to play the lakers, not because of their talent but because of the whistle they are gonna get
Iman don’t like bron lol
That #1 finger going up twice represented Hegseth asked me to head a terrorist group against the United States of America.🖕😒🖕MegaloDON PEOII CIA CHIEF USMCIAOO8 TAURUS USA
okc and the refs on this one
ESPN are the ones pushing the SGA and Wemby MVP agenda while on paper it should be Luka and they ain't even having a discussion of such a possibility.
9/11
Luka Doncic is now on pace for winning his first NBA MVP and NBA CHAMPIONSHIP🚨🏆
– More PPG than SGA
– More RPG than LeBron James
– More APG than James Harden
– Same SPG as OG Anunoby
– Better FG% than Cade Cunningham
– Better 3PT% than Donovan Mitchell
Luka doing it all for the Lakers🙌🏻🪄
If the lakers lose in the first round, I don’t wanna hear any of this garbage again. They were the third seed last year and espn picked them to beat OKC in the wcf 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
cant wait for Luka to smack okc with a 40 piece….
the nba wants to create a storyline for wemby making him the youngest mvp. they did it with d rose vs lebron.
luka will.never get mvp bec the media hates him for his complaining.
Windy just says a whole lotta nothing.
Still think a fully healthy Denver team beats the Lakers, so Lakers is the 4th best team in the West in my opinon. They need to build off this season and keep most of the roster intact for next season because I don't think they will win the title this year cause I don't know if they can beat OKC, Spurs or Nuggets in a 7 game series cause noone can stop Joker or Wemby. OKC will come down to officiating in my opinon
The talking like Luka haven't beat OKC. He beat OKC multiple times before.
