Durant with the brick at the buzzer. Phoenix had a shot there against Memphis. I hate how teams live or die with taking deep contested threes with the game on the line now. They were down 2 so they could've tried getting to the lane and either tying it or kicking it out to an open man. Or getting free throws. Nope. Not these days. Just jack up your 50th three and hope for the best.

****ing oof.

Thats a BRUTAL loss.

Lebron or no Lebron, you just can't lose to the Nets.

Goodwin and Vincent did their best to drag LA through it but Reaves and Luka weren't havi n' it. Credit to Luka for trying to find other ways to contribute but man if you're shooting like that you just cannot keep chucking.

He knows - we ALL know - that his shot is flat right now. And so if that shot is off, it's gonna stay off. His margin for error is just way too small when he can't get his legs under him.

I heard that the Warriors win over the nets meant nothing because the nets were actively tanking. So I'm sure the Lakers loss to them means nothing either... or something.

In actuality, it all means nothing, it’s mid-March.

Which is why you’re going to see the Lakers being overly cautious with LeBron’s injury.

I don't think the Nets are trying to tank. They tried to take it the Warriors last week and couldn't win down the stretch of that game. The Nets also tried to take it to the Lakers.

Remember this is a pro Lebron/Lakers thread. All other teams are 2nd best.
