I kinda feel bad for the Lakers. All this hype now. LeBron playing his best ball in years and now they have Luka all for it to be not since the best team of all time is looming 11 games ahead of them in the West.
It's going to be a big let down for NBA fans who beat off to "stars" or whatever that means because it is going to be Thunder vs Cavs in The Finals. Two historically great basketball teams and people are going to bitch about it because they are ignorant. [Reply]

It's gonna be a classic Lakers-Celtics final after OKC and the Cavs choke under the pressure yet again. You can feel it already. [Reply]

No you can't. Those teams only have failed before due to youth. Now they have risen and are ready for stardom and the new age of the NBA which nobody will appreciate because it isnt in a "major" or coastal city. [Reply]

Bontemps: And that is why the Lakers, in the wake of the Doncic trade, are seen in a far different light around the league than they were before. "I think they're a championship-level team," said a Western Conference executive. "They're in that upper echelon."
