NBA - Main

Refs need to be drug tested. So many questionable calls this game.

Year 21. Plus 22. Would be an unreal accomplishment for nearly any other player in NBA history. For Lebron it's a Thursday.

Wasn't building a superteam and then not being able to get his other awesome teammates on the floor leaving him to struggle every game with insane losing performances the exact reason KD left Brooklyn?

Holy carry by kd💀 Great to see LeBron still playing at that level

I know that the suns were shorthanded but lol to the fact they let lebron waltz in for 4 pts at the end.

KD playing with his Phoenix Sons. Wtf everybody looking for him and bricking shots in the 4th lmao

These Old Man playing heavy minutes in game number 2 to give us entertainment. Gonna have to rest

I've aged more watching LeBron take over than LeBron did

Crazy. Proud that we were in control all game until the 4th, which was expected. Even just having one of Book or Beal would have made this an easy win.

With that being said, GG LA. Was a fun one to watch.

That game was awful, but good at the same time lmao.

Just wanna say Kevin Harlan is the best announcer of all time

Wow I’ve missed Lebron vs KD match ups. The two best forwards of their generation head to head, yet have such different play styles that they both mastered

Both teams should feel bad, but the lakers should feel worse

Barely squeaking by at home with Booker and Beal out. Not a good look. Lakers don’t look like contenders at all

So what's the script now for the haters?

1. Lakers barely won against a bunch of g-leaguers
2. Home cooking
3. Got bailed out by an old man

Call me a hater but I think that was a really bad win

Lakers would’ve lost this game if either Beal or Booker played 🤧

TIL Bradley Beal is getting paid $46 million this season

LEBRON IS CLUTCH

Phoenix a title contender? LMAOOOO

Not with that garbage bench

KD went god-mode

imagine if you told someone playing Black Ops 2 in 2012 that in the year the game is set in, LeBron is still carrying teams in the NBA

I thought Gabe Vincent was good🤔

It felt like the score was stuck at 87-84 Suns for an eternity. and the Suns stayed stuck at 87 points for another eternity. Bron still being money driving to the rack late in Year #21 is crazy.

Durant can’t win with those cats.

Suns not named Kevin Durant were 20/53 in this game.

KD can’t win with these cats

What a game. So glad basketball is back

Listen, I'm a certified KD hater, I would like nothing better than to call this a disasterclass choke . . . but I have eyes, and he was playing 1v5 out there

Lack of depth at PG and at C is . . . worrying, for the Suns. Very worrying

But still hahahaha suck it, snake

Watching KD, AD, Giannis, Embiid play tonight made me appreciate how good of a passer Jokic is

It wasn’t pretty but I’ll take it. Thank god Lebron is Lebron.

It’s honestly incredible that the first time that Kevin Durant and Lebron matched up was in 2008. And now we’re here in 2023 and these two are still going at it.

They were both putting up 20+ back then and nothing has changed.

LBJ, AD, Wood and 2 guards is a good linup for us. But Ham sucks as a coach so I don't expect this lineup to get minutes until January.

seeing the Suns not named KD petrified to touch the basketball in the entire 4th Quarter was quite painful (subbing out Reddish helped the Lakers too 😅)

LeBron doesn't give a shit that they're on live

Phoenix's roster is not going to be able to handle the playoffs even if Booker and Beal are healthy. They're going to need to work some miracles come trade deadline to fill out that supporting cast.

Hot take: I don’t think the Suns depth is that bad

We desperately need a switchable big though. Another big wing that is playable would be nice as well.

KD might die on the court if Booker or Beal aren't back soon.

I kinda hate that Russell/Vincent backcourt, I hope it doesn't happen when Vando is back

A blistering 9/26 from the field tonight and they were out there forever when it was 87-84 and we desperately needed a score and Reaves just being kept out for Darvin's small guard fetish

Who knew Christian Wood could clamp KD this whole time

Ayton and Nurkic both looking terrible is the outcome /R/NBA deserves because both sides looking dumb.

People reminisce about the 90s but when there’s an ugly game like this where both teams are playing hard they complain.

I get it that it stalled for a while where nobody could make a shot but for the most part both teams were playing good defense. I love these types of games compared to 130 - 128 type games that are all trading offense.

Vogel’s closing lineup was interesting to say the least…

How many points did Durant score in the 4th?
