@LakeShowYo 2004 Pistons. Came out of nowhere, built with several solid role players (in major european leagues), underrated defense, competent offense (you’ll see it against Uruguay and Saudi Arabia)
I see today is going to be “Blame the Rockets!” day rather than maybe a little introspection from folks who at various times this year said with absolute and total conviction…
•LeBron’s contract is an albatross/Lakers should be desperate to move off him.
•The Lakers are better without LeBron on the court.
•KD & Steph are clearly better than LeBron at this point.
•LeBron was a primary problem with the Lakers defense.
•This offseason any serious team shouldn’t offer LeBron more than the mid-level exception.
•The Rockets had 5 of the 6 best players in the series & should sweep the Lakers.
These takes were EVERYWHERE all year long. You were considered delusional/fanboy if you pushed back at all.
And this morning, instead of recognizing that folks are somehow STILL wildly underrating/underestimating the 🐐, they’re just yelling at Durant & Udoka. 😂😂😂
UNREAL SCENES OUT OF BENFICA! ON THE LAST PLAY OF THE DAY ANATOLIY TRUBIN, THE GOALKEEPER, COMES UP AND GETS THE GOAL TO PUT BENFICA IN THE TOP 24!!! 😱😱😱
BEFORE THAT MOMENT THEY WERE ABOUT TO BE ELIMINATED!!
MOURINHO MAGIC 🪄
Nick Wright absolutely DESTROYS Dan Le Batard after he criticizes LeBron for “teasing with people’s feelings” in regards to retirement with the Second Decision…
😭😭😭😭😭

Game 5 - Win big at home
Game 6 - Claw and scratch our way to a close win
Game 7 - Luka & LeBron in Game 7 is all we need
We can’t win unless the fans have 100% belief, let’s do this 💯
Listen, everybody loves Chuck, but we’ve gotta be honest here.
ALL YEAR he’s said the Lakers stink. Not that they’re not the best team in the league. That they’re bad/irrelevant.
ALL YEAR he’s minimized anything they’ve done.
Then, they trade for Luka and NO ONE was more adamant that it wouldn’t work and that the Mavs were better off this year.
Now, that they’re 2nd in the West, and have been the best team in the league for the last 6 weeks, he says they’ve had a good “2 weeks” and we still shouldn’t talk about them.
It’s disingenuous bullshit from someone who doesn’t want to admit he’s been wrong about this team every step of the way and it’s OK to say that, despite the fact he’s the funniest/most beloved person in sports TV history.
