      Mature? Yall glazing. Remember the year Warriors won 72 games. LeBron's post game interview after winning the ECF went something like this "We'regoing enjoy this while we can" (paraphrasing). This just like that he knows he's gonna lose.

    For the KD part, SAS is not wrong but in KD’s defence, he’s only had two legit shots runs in the playoffs with a proper team: the Boston sweep and last year in Phoenix (even though this also has an asterisk with CP3 being injured). All the other post warrior years either he was injured or his teammates weren’t there)
    And now he’s gonna face the nuggets again in the second round most likely and no one really expect the suns to win so it’s kinda sad really but the media is just gonna bring one of the greatest players ever to play down even more.

    Interesting Lakers facts below:
    1. Did you know the Lakers free throw
    differential over the last two seasons is
    well over +1000 more free throws than their
    opponents? They lead the league in that
    category. The second place team doesn't
    even crack +350.
    2. Did you know that if you combined the free
    throw differential of the teams in 2nd, 3rd,
    and 4th place the Lakers would still have a
    comfortable lead over that team?
    3. Did you know that the Lakers have shot
    more free throws than their opponent's in 19
    out of the last 20 games? The one game they
    shot less was by 4 free throws.
    4. Did you know that during a recent game
    where the Lakers played the Timberwolves
    they shot 31 free throws to Minnesota's 11?
    This was a game Lebron missed and Anthony
    Davis sat for 3 and a half quarters due to
    injury.
    5. Did you know the league outright
    attempting and succeeding to rig games in
    the Lakers favor?
    The referees will stop Nuggets with free throws for the Lakers but the Lakers players certainly won't. I bet that the Lakers will get 10 to 20 points more free throws every game than the Nuggets!!

    Bringing up “I wonder how he feels seeing Kyrie…” pisses me off because 1. unlike Brooklyn’s GM, Cuban values and respects Kyrie. 2. KD better not feel a way at all after how he left OKC. 3. It isn’t Kyrie’s fault he went where he was wanted (like, seriously, who tf stays where they’re not accepted). I could see the argument with Harden, but Kyrie was just hurt (had no control over that) and being disrespected by the GM. Also, KD doesn’t get those 2 chips without the Warriors, and if you’re bothered by that statement just ask yourself who won a championship WITHOUT the other (KD or the Warriors)?

    I think Carmelo should continue playing for team USA until he’s officially done with basketball you can see it in his eyes he’s not done

      Carmelo? Didn't he retire? He's been out of the league for a few years now.
