8:30 on Amazon (why them)

Yes I’m an OKC Thunder fan. Yes each game is rigged in our favor. No there is nothing you can do about it. Yes Shai tries to trick the refs each possession (but somehow is shooting 54% while doing it). Yes Lu Dort is trying to injure the opposing team. Yes our coach is trying to teach the rest of the team to injure the opposing team as well. Yes I attend the games because I have nothing better to do in Oklahoma. Yes I was brought up in the Oklahoma education system so this all makes perfect sense. Yes a few houses have internet. Any other questions, don’t care.

Key for the Lakers tonight

LeBron James OVER 25 FGA.

Does not matter make or miss, they just need him to be aggressive in that way. He obviously will not do this, but I do think it would help....


Fun Fact, LeBron has only done it ONCE this season on Dec 20, 2025.

**Outside of that he has only shot over 22 FGA 1 other time and that was on May 1st when he shot 25 FGA vs HOU.

I've Shifted any stance, tonight may be unwatchable.

Especially if J-Dub is wearing womens clothes again on the sidelines.















**Unfortunately this may be one of LeBron's last games, so I will indeed be watching

Champs > Uncs again

JDub finally returns my grandmaw’s upholstery and wears his Blade cosplay

LeTimeless has another objectively absurd performance at 41 but it isn’t enough

Hot take: Lakers would have better chance in this series without Reaves. He’s a window curtain. I would go with uglying the game up around old man LeBron controlling tempo. Probably still wouldn’t work but I am not a Reaves fan at all.

I agree, they played alot differently in the (3-0) start against HOU.

I think the role players ramp up there efforts without Reaves or Luka on the court to slow the ball down and get more 1v1 action etc. The ball rarely stops with those guys on the court with Bron

I hate Lakers but I feel like they keep it close but not sure about winning. Every betting person I've listen to think lakers get beat by at least 12.

Why not? The picture quality is so much better than ESPN and even NBC.

Laker keep it within 10 points.

The Lakers only chance of beating OKC is on the bench and even that was still a stretch. Love or hate SGA aside they are the champs for a reason because they have the best overall rotation. And the gap between this version of the Lakers and OKC is so wide.

Like you said, he's somehow worse than SteelerBravesDawg.

Stones up 11 at half. I have a weird feeling they choke it.

Lake Show +15.5 again tonight.

Any night we get to see LeBron try to win a playoff basketball game is a good night.

My expectations are on the floor, but I am excited.

I get that feeling even with athletes I never liked.

I'm a big tennis guy, always hated Lendl, Sampras, Nadal, then I appreciated them at the end and kind of felt bad for always hating them.

Obviously never liked MJ as a Pistons fan, but tried to enjoy him down the stretch. Same with LeBron now.

I did exactly that with Kobe.

The Billups, Prince, Rip Hamilton, Wallace duo, was what got me into NBA basketball. And also followed LeBron news like any other ~9 year old kid at the time. As a general supporter of those 2, Kobe didn’t stand a chance with me

I guess as I matured, and started taking not being dumb as shite a little more seriously, I was able to appreciate Kobe immensely.

Considering Kobe is my favorite athlete of all time and the entire reason I started liking the Lakers as a kid, there’s no one I hated more in sports than Lebron James during his first Cleveland stint and especially with Miami.

It wasn’t until the 2015 Finals when LeBron single handedly took the Warriors to 6 without Love or Kyrie that I actually started to appreciate the guy.
