Not gonna lie this is how I want the lakers to play all the time. Lebron allowed the rest of the team to actually play ball and get in rhythm instead of standing in the corner and waiting for him to pass. Love it.


Lebron ball dominance is exaggerated this season. He’s been playing off guys a lot this year


I watch every game and I disagree. Best game he’s played all season and you can tell by how engaged everyone else is. They actually care this game and it shows.


Alot of the blame needs to go to the rest of the team. I see Bron handing the ball of to other teammates, and all they do is pass it right back to him and wait for him to do something.


They give him the ball back because if they miss Ham going to pull them and LAKANG going to pout. Its been seen plenty of times.

Not the way I see it. No player has ever gotten better playing with lebron. Usually once they are on the team with him their stats take a dive. There’s a long list of players over the years. Chris Bosh even said in an interview how you have to sacrifice your game to play with him.

The way he played tonight was amazing. The way he usually plays literally freezes his teammates out and take them out of the game. He didn’t do that tonight.

Pretty easy win from start to finish. The Thunder never really made a push.


That is not an accurate statement. Lol


Maybe briefly at the start of the 3rd? But I always felt like the Lakers were in control of the game.

Shai doesn't look like that guy when defenses clamp down on him. Refs can only help him so much.

OKC won't go to the Finals without him, so he'll have to figure it out

Thunder making a push but a key steal from DLO at the end there off Chet, just like the steal on Chet earlier.

But then Ham takes out DLO for Prince.

Then DLO came back in.


BUT HEY... guess who was the worst player in the starting lineup today that kept losing their man on defense... you'll never guess it...

The moment Vando came in, Shai couldn't hunt anymore and AD locked Chet up.

The thunder the past month have beaten the nuggets twice, celtics, twolves, clippers, knicks, magic.

Nice win. Solid effort throughout except for giving up multiple second ( and third) chances.

Wish this could be the way they played every game instead of the exception.

It’s a win, I’ll take it. On to the Mavs and climbing out of the hole they have put themselves into.

That's probably why Vando sticks around. His defense is suffocating and he's not even 100%.

Y’all hate SGA?

He’s that next dude for sure. An sure he struggles when he gets doubled or he’s got a 6’10 Vando super gassed up in front of him.

That would pretty much be the case for any superstar lol

This team definitely needs more of line-up or head coach adjustment than a trade..

Crazy that they can beat teams like OKC and Clips... But struggles against bottom teams like Memphis and Bulls. Really look like a talented team with a bad head coach.

This team is definitely better than what their record says... IST tournament shows this team is capable.

If you can get that version of Vando every night, he’s a more than capable starter. Neutral on offense, and of course great defensively

That's what he have last year with Vando. Always thought he should be the starter. But people are more worried about his 3pt shooting.
