L refs for not making that call and idc if we struggled in 2OT… WE COULD'VE SEALED THE DEAL IF THE REFS WEREN'T DOING THE BIRDBOX CHALLENGE AND 💩💩🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Lakers Aren’t Getting Any Foul Call Since Last Season. The Lakers Organization Should Complaint To The NBA Commissioner
Mavericks need to figure out a way to get rid of THJr, his game is solely dependent on whether he’s feeling it or not. Can’t depend on a guy like that.
If the refs did a good job the mavs would’ve had 20+ free throws by the 3rd & game would’ve been over 😂🤣
Luka was called for a travel when he shoulda been given the bucket plus a and 1. He shuffled his non-pivot foot, which the ref thought was his pivot food. I rewound it and watched it in slow mo 5 times right after. Luka was right..
If LAKERS had won it would have been a whole 2 segments
THE NBA REF ARE JUST GARBAGE STRAIGHT UP ! 🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑
Lebron gotta play at a high level every night for the lakers to have a chance while Giannis can put up 7 points and his team still wins games smh
Of course he isn’t
News Flash
Lebron "Queen" James will NEVER be the Goat and Why!
1. Lebron and his 'BIG 3' of D. Wade and Bosh got totally Destroyed in the 2014 NBA Finals by the Spurs in 5 games. You can't be the GOAT and lose a Finals getting blown out by 15, 19, 21 and 17 pts in the losses especially when you had D. Wade, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen as teammates. Jordan's Bulls never lost more than one game in any of his 6 NBA Finals by a blowout and the worst they ever lost was by 11 pts.
2. Lebron has never come close to a 3peat and if Ray Allen had not hit that miracle series saving 3 pointer against the Spurs in the 2013 Finals. Lebron and his 'Big 3' would have been a pathetic 1-3 in the Finals instead of 2-2.
3. Lebron got totally shutdown and held to just 8 points in an NBA Finals game by the Dallas Mavericks. Jordan never scored less than 22 points in a Finals game.
4. It has taken Lebron being in 10 NBA Finals just to get 4 rings. Jordan is a perfect 6-0 in NBA Finals and never was taken to a game 7. Lebron has lost 6 NBA Finals and his teams were swept 4-0 two times and he lost two other Finals series 4-1. Lebron was very close to being swept 4 times in NBA Finals. Lebron had 6 Finals losses before he could win a 4th title. STF UP with the injury excuses for two of his Finals series losses. Injuries are part of the game. There are many teams in NBA history who lost an NBA Finals with injured players. None of them cried about it and made excuses.
5. Let's not forget that Jordan might have been 8-0 in the Finals had he not retired for about 2 years in between the two 3peats. The Bulls might have won 6 Finals in a row if Jordan had not taken 2 seasons off.
6. Lebron has not even matched the greatness of Kobe Bryant's 5 rings in 7 Finals, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 6 rings in 10 Finals, Tim Duncan's 5 rings in 6 Finals or Magic's 5 rings in 9 Finals. So GTF out of here even comparing him to Jordan's dominance.
7. Jordan led the NBA in scoring 10 times to Lebron's 1 time. Jordan was also the best defender in the NBA and Lebron has never been close to being the top defensive player. Jordan was a straight up assassin/killer every game while Lebron has routinely taken games off and been a crybaby during his career. Jordan at age 40 played all 82 games in his final season on the Wizards and averaged 20 pts per game too
The stone cold truth is…..
Lebron James will NEVER be the Goat and nothing he does in the remaining time of his career will ever change that fact!
#23 Michael Jordan will always be the NBA Goat!
ROBBEEEEEDDDD!!
Troy brown was fouled. But that didn’t lose the game
Lebron at 38 has no lift. Wow
The mavs are trash lakers almost beat yhem without davis amd with lebron bricking shots dallas has no chance aggsinst better teams
That's a foul Lakers were robbed
Dude a foul is a foul Stephen a. Call the play that would mean a win and your take is nonsense In this aspect. Not why they lost when free throws would win us this game so just because of the style of play and such, we would of won
Luka is racist.idk
So there not going to talk about Lebrons shooting ??????
You can't rely on refs to call it right everytime. They're human.
lakers let luka cook and shoot a three to put it into OT, all they had to do was foul
Loool the real question is what size shoe was Lebron wearing??? How does this effect his legacy???
But The Lakers won against the Kings after no call
Fair is Fair LeChoke
Of course Stephen isn't blaming it on the horrible refs, but if it was the warriors or nets he'd be crying
Lakers fans are like cowboys fans. Always whining when they lose and bring up the shitty ring argument.
It was a game full of no calls. So it was fair
If that was Curry that’s 4 free throws lmao
Dallas Mavericks needs to trade Reggie Bullock the guy sucks I'm sorry but it's true
How did I know he was gonna talk about how the Lakers lost instead of how much of a beast Luka is
bruhhh
Refs won this one for the mavs most down here didnt even watch the game LeBron gets hacked like crazy everytime going in the paint
Luka is just great.
