Timpf validated 😂😂😂 don’t come for him no more
Jason falls in love with the Lakers every year around this time🤣🤣🤣
I don’t care if Luka is hurt for real or if his just saving face. The truth is that when he came out the game it was already over. When his team needed him the most, he cracked under pressure. I don’t want to hear anyone blaming LeBron or Austin. They all played bad, but if you’re a legitimate MVP, you show up despite how bad your teammates played. If Luka gets all the credit when they win, he should be equally blamed when they lose this bad. But not everything’s lost, they can bounce back on Tuesday, but if they don’t, they better pray to finish as the 4th seed. They have better chances to advance to the second round facing the Rockets.
Lakers fans and Luka Glazers, it’s okay to hold your players accountable when they play bad. You’ll even feel better admitting it, rather than look for every excuse possible to defend what cannot be defended.
Down 30 again at halftime
When Dort makes 3’s, OKC is unbeatable 😅
Luka is so much better than just jacking up 3s. Thats my biggest thing with luka. Just drive bro
The depth, speed, and wing defense on OKC is too much for the Lakers, they do not have the team to deal with all that. Their bench is really weak and there are so many long defenders to really take AR out of the game and bother Luka a lot. As good as the Lakers have been playing, they are not going to be able to beat this team 4 times in a series. Not a chance.
Luka is nowhere close to the best in the world. One month of good basketball was enough to sucker everyone in. Meanwhile you have SGA and joker who have been consistently spectacular through regular and post seasons going on years now between the two. Only thing that has ever limited Jokic is the knee injury which has given people a real bad memory to how great he is while propping Luka up in frankly a disrespectful manner given his lack of real accolades. One great month doesn’t make you best in the world and I hope this SGA asskicking tones that nonsense down.
Jason, you still have time to hop off the Lakers bandwagon before the playoffs when they lose in the first round to 6th seed Timberwolves again. Don’t make the same mistake with them year after year after year after year
Nice Haircut. Very unfortunate about Luka. You're ready to be a Nugget's fan Jason (when LeBron retires), since we're use to hammy injuries and soul-crushing loses. 😮
Jason is not happy
To me this was proof the Nuggets and Wolves are MILES ahead of the Lakers. Lakers can't score or defend against these guys at least the other contenders can do one/both/keep it close
THE BIGGEST THUNDER HATER ON YOUTUBE hoops tonight THUNDER 🆙 SGA MVP 🗣️
I’m confused Jason, this is not making sense. The reason why u had Jaylen & Jayson in tier 2 was bc when Jayson jumpshot is not working he’s tier 2 and bc of the his first step, but in the same breath u said when Jayson have his shot going he def arguably the best played in the world bc all the other things he do great. But u just said when Luka have his jump shot or three pointer rolling he’s the best player. So why wouldn’t he been in tier 2 bc u said his floor game can be bad too. So I just don’t understand the same argument u made for Tatum or brown not being in tier 1 is the same u just made for Luka not being the best player in the world. It doesn’t make sense
Ah yes, the mighty Luka "I score 40 points a game" Doncic scored 12 points, had 6 turnovers and was utterly destroyed by the Thunder, so OF COURSE he was injured. Same ridiculous excuse in the finals in 24. This is ridiculous.
Please stop calling Luka the best player.. the best player has to play defense. He doesn't.
What White Boy you know ever had lockdown defense none I don’t even know why so many white players in the NBA bro when they have no agility quickness for lateral movement nothing every time they drive to the basket they moving like they can’t get past nobody
Everyone is better than Shai until it’s time to be better than Shai.
Luka Always Seems To Limp Or Get Hurt Against Okc Literally Almost Every Time .. With That Being Said I Truly Do Hope Luka Is Alright
Blowouts happen all the time in the NBA, the Raptors beat the Magic by 52, so Whoopty Doo, this guy is wired, OKC Slumber couldn’t miss from 3 now go brush your teeth and go to bed, you sound tired .
Wait wait wait… I was working so I couldn’t watch live but Luka tweaked his hamstring in the first half, the Lakers were down by 30+ & THE STAFF PUT HIM BACK IN? Fire the coaching staff, fire the medical team, sell the team before you even own it Mark Walter’s. The level of incompetence on display there is beyond astronomical.
First round exit team, all smoke screen like last year
