  14. Full Spectrum Connoissuer on March 31, 2021 at 11:58 am

    Its hilarious people theorize that lebron needs to STEAL rest time. He needs to fake the injury being worse for a BREAK from the game. Thats disrespect on his name no matter what.

  15. Adrian Billy on March 31, 2021 at 11:59 am

    Is about PG, better Damian Lillard go to Clippers…… Get rid of PG, he just like soda pop, when the team need him, is not there…..

  16. Ali Chaudhry on March 31, 2021 at 12:02 pm

    Kawhi Leonard is overrated. Nevertheless, I love his game. Simple, and gets the job done.

    Extreme next level flop,. just run of the court and shoot a 3…. now he might get an award for space jam though….

    See that agony? And still plays? That some basketball IQ right there…. easy way out so he wont embarass himself for losing the mvp, obviously there are many players ahead of him….

    There is good news, now his in the conversation about mj flu game and kobe achilles made free throw…. what a marketing genius…. really needs to be a gm when he retires

  43. Josue Guillen on March 31, 2021 at 12:30 pm

    Tbh, without Lebron and AD for a good 10-15 games, Lakers need to worry about making the playoffs

  44. L-e-gendary on March 31, 2021 at 12:34 pm

  45. robert junior on March 31, 2021 at 12:37 pm

    When is max ever right? Please someone tell me

  46. Top6 Utd on March 31, 2021 at 12:38 pm

    Looking at some rosters and how they’re performing, ie….the nets, Lakers, clippers, I would say, over relying on stars, not performing enough as a team, to be able to gather momentum to win deep in the playoffs this year. With good players, and some top, top players, playing for eachother, and gaining momentum, to be able to be too hard to beat, possibly impossible to beat, in the playoffs, I see teams like Utah Jazz, the Bucks, and possibly the Suns. I say, the nuggets, and 76ers, aren’t complete in their coaching, therefore their overall around performance, and strength, and character, to be able to win the playoffs, from seeing everything objectively. Therefore I see the bucks, and Utah Jazz for me for the playoff finals, provided Giannis is healthy, we’ll see, otherwise, it has to be Utah in my view, from what I’m seeing long term.

    The terrific jar collaterally launch because throat timely attract opposite a faded cemetery. unaccountable, rural trial
