Next season:

Spoiler!

LeBron and AD have both outplayed Murray and Jokic

Unfortunately the rest of the Lakers have chit the bed, and their coach is awful. Coaching staff continues to have a good plan, then Malone with counter and Darvin cant' come up with a strategy to the counter. Malone is coaching circles around Darvin but that's not a surprise at all

DLO has been horrific, on both ends

Rui has been horrific, on both ends

Reaves has been good on defense, but his offense has been bad for the majority of this series

Lakers bench has been horrific, and they are just flat out not big enough. I thought Vando and Wood would come back and they were so desparately needed cause Darvin has T Prince playing the 4 and Rui/Bron playing the 5 trying to stop Jokic and they are getting DESTROYED on the boards

DLO has cost himself ALOT of $$. He's not a winning player, and is only to used as a tank commander. His floor is Jordan Poole level. When he's bad.... HE'S BAAAAAAAADDDDD

Nuggets are just a bad matchup for the Lakers due to their size.. I think everyone is aware that Lakers beat OKC, beat Mavs, beat Suns, beat the Clippers, probably struggle vs the Timberwolves and can't beat the Nuggets.

LeBron and AD have both outplayed Murray and Jokic

LeZionist didn't outplay chit, it doesn't matter if he stat-padded his way to 26pts, if he let's his defensive assignment go for 29. Defense his part of the game too, and that LeSwept does none of.

Try not to be a casual and a box score watcher, GayDawg.

Also, Jokic and Murray completely outplayed Davis and LeBeta in the clutch. While LeWide Open was bricking open 3's.

So no, LeHunted didn't outplay chit, GayDawg.

[HarryDick]

Also, GayDawg actually thinks Lakers could beat the Mavs in a series. LMAO

Lakers are 2-7 in their last 9 games vs Dallas, and that's before Dallas improved their roster, and had one of the best records post trade deadline.

Seriously, what is wrong with GayDawg? Back to back sweeps, and he still can't help but dick ride LeSenior Citizen. LMAO

[BigDeeps01]

^this dude is so emotional, a broadcaster must have banged his wife lol

Call me emotional and neg me, because I hurt your feelings by stating nothing but facts about LeSenior Citizen.

Sounds like you're the only one who's acting emotional here. LMAO

I just hate player fans like GayDawg. Delusional even in defeat, and completely devoid of logic.

[WestAfrica]

T’Wolves are good

You haven’t stated one fact ITT

You have a hard on that the defending champs with the league MVP beat a play in team with a 40 year old lol

[mryamamoto]

T’Wolves are good

They are good, but the Suns have no chemistry.

Lebron has outplayed Murray.. that’s not an argument

The argument is whether AD has outplayed Jokic and I think it’s pretty close

Lebron scored 12 points in the 4th in game 2 and arguably the biggest play of the game was made by Gordon and then MPJ after Lebron stole the ball from Murray and dunked it with like 1 min left. You didn’t actually watch the games, I know

The Lakers had one of the best records post ASB lol

They were the 4th best offense in the NBA. They don’t match up well with the Nuggets because their starting 5 is massive and Darvin likes to go small and play Prince at the 4 at times and they get killed on the boards

Mavs they wouldn’t have that problem

I mean the Nuggets are the best team in the NBA lol there’s no shame in losing to them. Theyre Legitimately better as a team than the Lakers. Why is that an issue?

These guys just have Lebron cock in their minds 24/7 they can’t be objective and they don’t actually watch the games

They for sure don’t watch the games.

Inb4 Lakers blow this lead again in the 3rd lol

Edit: LMAO Lebron makes a tough shot and the other 4 just stare at him rather than getting back on defense and they let Joker score either on the other end

This team is a dumpster fire

I do think they'll end up winning this game.. but it's really just frustrating because they've had a double digit lead in yet ANOTHER game vs Denver. Unfortunetly the 3rd qt when each AD and Bron sit on the bench is when it falls apart

They haven't had enough from everyone else. Tonight it looks like they'll get it

I don't think the Lakers have a shot going forward because eventually 1 of AD or Bron is going to have a bad game and that's a wrap. They've been elite the entire series so far. Both of them

Yeah this is the first game where the entire lakers starting 5 has outplayed the Denver starting 5. Reaves has 13, Russell and Rui combine for 12 whereas Porter Jr has 10 and Gordon/KCP are combined for only 6

If the other Lakers players played this well consistently the Lakers would have swept. But ofc they’re terrible and it’s all finna fall apart here in the 3rd Q per usual

One thing I'll criticize about LeBron this series is his finishing around the rim has been below what it normally is. He's normally one of the best in the NBA, and this series he's missed some gimmes he normally makes

I think he’s just been more tired. He’s been playing insane minutes for a 40 year old and you can tell it’s taking its toll

Man they are up 15 and then lazy defense leaves Porter Jr wide open for a 3 then a lazy pass and steal by KCP and it’s down to 10 right away

They just can’t keep it together

I'll say this... MPJ has kept Denver in these games man. That kid is a bucket.

T Prince with the clutch 3, he's been the Lakers 3rd most consistent player lol

[BigDeeps01]

Are they actually gonna win this? I went to be leaf lol

[BigDeeps01]

Imagine 40 year old Lebron James in his 21st season with the dagger steal and slam and taking over the last 2 minutes of this game to avoid elimination

Just lol

Great win, but FINALLY they got solid contributions from Reaves and DLO and PRince finally came to the party also. This series should be 2-2 right now

Yeah insane

I mean they’re probably losing game 5 but at least they got a solid win here

Lakers in 7!!!

Spoiler!

if only

[yieldtonothing]

is it true that lebron and ad had a private team meeting before game 4 and basically told everyone not to listen to darvin ham?

[Jaydawg08]

Wouldn't be shocked

LeBron damn near choked out Darvin Ham tonight for not challenging that play. Obviously AD's comments about how the team doesn't know what they are doing on offense or defense through stretches, basically throwing Darvin and the coaches under the bus (and he's been right)
