What a great matchup between two European superstars in the league. Proving why they are both MVP Candidates. And surefire First Team All NBA if they make the 65 games requirement.

SGA and Wemby leads MVP Race now. But Jokic and Luka can still have a late push for their case.

So LeBron has been playing exactly the way people said he had to play and AR + Luka are balling. Maybe the hate was an overreaction?

Lol it was great seeing Lebron giving 100% on hustle plays to close out the game but I just know his old man body is screaming at him right now.

People were talking about AR’s underperformance with Lebron completely ignoring that AR was returning from injury

LOL its 100% overreaction because the idiots reacting are haters disguised as “Laker” fans. No true Laker fans would shat on Lebron for what he’s done to this team even if he’s struggling this season it happens and he’s 41 the real question is what his contract will look next year.

I mean… he’s changed the way he plays the last week. Like people asked…

Hungry-Space-1829 | Lakers

That’s not really true, though, if you’ve been watching all lakers’ games. He’s not just willing to be off ball, he wants to be off ball and has for some time now

I mean the hustle and defense

Hungry-Space-1829 | Lakers

He’s done that in big games and the playoffs for some time too, though. Last postseason he was arguably our best defender vs Minnesota. He can’t do both these days, and it honestly felt like he put more effort on defense last postseason than offense

Agree. If his plan was to save it for the final 20 and playoffs then I understand. Smart probably. Gets frustrating in December though

Poor efficiency from Luka but eye test had been fantastic for him since 2026. He has been great this game despite turnovers

this is about as inefficient as Luka ever shoots and we still won. hope Wolves/Rockets/Nuggets will underestimate us like this sub does in the playoffs even tho we’re clearly a different team from December. Murray was shooting bad too but he’s way easier to shut down

Jokic would be getting ripped endlessly if he played the god squad Celtics and lost and Luka beat the 8 seed Heat

That’s how dumb the media narratives are. Both are legends and Luka has been ripped entirely too much given his rosters

Jokic always took care of that “god squad”.

Luka was a whiny ass baby on a really strong Mavs squad that got humiliated. One of the most lopsided NBA finals in history.

Stop comparing Luka to Jokic. It’s embarrassing.

Just be happy that Murray and the Refs were on the Lakers side tonight.

Not a great game from luka despite the 30 point triple double. And since AR was the best laker tonight luka is dropping to 9th on th mvp ladder. Sorry luka that’s just the rules buddy. Do better next time

30+ point triple doubles are way more impressive than any other triple doubles imo…

Spemanz92 | Thunder

What about 40+ triple doubles? What about 20/20/20 triple doubles? Or 10 points, 10 steals and 10 blocks?

He had one of those off games. He’s not a supermax player but hes not this bad. When Adelman took out Bruce Brown and didn’t insert him back, that’s when he lost both Q4 and OT.

Banger of a game.

Both teams have something to look forward to.

Nuggets with healthy AG are great, and Cam J looks better.

LA with Luka and Austin dont need to worry once pieces for LeBron s salary come in next yeat.

maybe if the injured jamal having an off-game got subbed out instead of fouling out after going 1-14 FG while being our worst defender, but adelman too busy digging in his ass for 50min

Injury card doesn’t work after that performance 2 days ago vs spurs. Adelman isn’t the reason he went 1-14 and defends badly

Adelman is the reason he’s still in the game

They should’ve realized this before they gave him that massive contract. Seemed fairly obvious that he is a great shot creator, not so good defender, and generally not worth that money but
