LeBron has been discussed as a cute story, “oh look at this 40 year old playing pretty well!”
Truth is, he’s been one of the 5 best players in the league over the last few months and is playing at a bonafide MVP level. Nothing cute about it, he’s just kicking ass every night.

Disappointing & frustrating part of LeBron's unbelievable season is disrespect for just how well he's playing. Just watch he will not even be first team All-NBA despite being one of the top players in the league in year 21. They'll all eat their bad opinions when Lakers win #18. https://t.co/NWmpeiu394

If we win tonight, I’m going to see if I can get a ticket for game one in Denver. I can’t pass up the stoner synchronicity of it being 4/20 to tip off that series.
It just feels like it’s meant to be. When I looked at the schedule this year I was hoping one of the Denver games…

D-Lo Russell made the two plays to seal the victory for the Lakers! First, the steal and then the 3-pointer in the corner. LeBron had another strong game with 23/9/9, and AD was a monster on the boards! The Lakers were phenomenal at the free-throw line in the fourth quarter to…

That interception of the pass and subsequent corner three splash from DLO were the kindf of big time plays we need from DLO this time around.

Man if the Lakers pull this out, that 3 is gonna be so huge for DLo's confidence going into the Nuggets series.

How Lakers Have Become A Team Nobody Wants To Meet In Playoffs
While they’ve sputtered most of the year and will likely have to win a play-in game to make the postseason, the Los Angeles Lakers have suddenly become the scary, dangerous team nobody wants to meet in the playoffs.

5 Things: Another Season in the Books!
The Lakers improved on last season’s overall regular season record (2022-23 was 43-39, 2023-24 is 47-35 a 4 win improvement which ain’t bad considering everything that happened this season) and it’s a fair argument that, without an incredible series of injuries to all but 3 or 4 major players, it could have been even better.

NBA Observations- Big Money Spent For The Clippers And Heat, Are The Lakers Next?
The guys from the Lakers Fast Break return for some NBA Observation as they share thoughts on the recent big-money extensions for Miami coach Erik Spoelstra and the Clipper’s Kawhi Leonard. Does this mean the Lakers will be opening up their wallet a little more as well? Plus after Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic’s huge rant after the Lakers game because of the fourth-quarter free throw disparity, we ponder if Darvin Ham will ever show that kind of energy if he remains as the guys on the sidelines for LA.

I like the statements of confidence. Cannot go into this series thinking you can’t win. All those close games are begging for a reversal and playing the Nuggets right now c/b key to breaking through for these Lakers. LA in 6.
