No clue what OKC is thinking closing the half without Chet. Free lobs and rebounds for Gafford every possession

Honestly a little surprised he picked up his option, let alone this quickly. Thought he would look for someone to give him the taxpayer midlevel.

Super glad to have him back at this price. Being able to keep size that can shoot on the floor when LeBron sits is critical.

Or, ya know, not

No Murray in the non Jokic lineup, he must be really hurt

The difference between the way the Lakers defended the 3pt line vs Denver and the way the Wolves do is astounding

These some hungry Wolves

I see a Naz Reid finals MVP in our future

Nuggets’ offense without Jokic is horrendous. It was bad against us and it’s even worse against a more complete defense.

Sticking with my Pacers pick for this series. The Knicks will wear down with these kind of starter minutes and so little bench production.

Maybe Perk was right. It might be time for LeBron to hang it up.

Numbers are declining. He’s only hurting his legacy.

Anyone who ever thought he was actually a LeBron guy was extremely naive. He usually has the same shitty reasoning as Stephen A he just said “LeBron’s the GOAT” to make the show more interesting.

They blamed Bron for this loss…

No one else was doing this in Year 21. Not even close. Salute LeBron James 🫡
