Lol. It's Lakers in 4 until it isn't. grin
We were sleepwalking through the games? Really? That is the narrative now? I hope when we dismantle the Nuggets in the next 2 games you won't change the narrative and say the Nuggets weren't a match cheesy

Thats what I saw. The role players really didnt play with energy. The most active Lakers were the oldest. I understand why tho, this team is still new and still gelling. The younger players dont have that kill and go mentality... They haven't been in the league long enough to understand how hard it is to get this far, with few injuries.

Careful bros. Careful. There are people on both sides of the camp. Lebron haters and sexuals, as my guy will call them. cheesy. You, Nigerian people, cheesy need to stop this your superficial massage of arguments. You offered no context and that's not quite fair. I was one of those that criticized AD too, which was justified giving his history. Calling him an underachieving Choker" maybe too much, i'm not sure anyone went that extreme. None of us has ever denied his talents, infact it's because of it we claim he's underachieved. We have particularly emphasized that AD has not achieved much as a leader. This new chapter as Lebron's partner is a new thing. And well, has he lived up to his talents? Ofcourse. We look on while it unfolds. On the argument that Lebron may ruin him, that has context too, which you ignore. History tells us that Lebron's teammates get the blame when his team loses. grin. Being his teammate puts you right under the microscope. Every flaw no matter how small it is is brought to fore. This, i believe was the angle for the "ruin" argument, if he ever brought up such a thing.

So being unable to win with an incompetent FO who surround you with a pack of bums is underachieving? That's a ridiculous notion that people need to get rid of in sports. The best player will always lose to the best team. Thats just how its works, that should always be the context.

Saying LeBrons sidekicks take all the blame for his failure is being disingenuous. Kyrie went from being a future star to being put in a position to hit the biggest shot in Cleveland sport history and is now elevated into the upper echelon of guards in the league almost to the point where some people overrate him. D Wade, partly due to the two extra rings he won with LeBron is universally regarded as the third greatest SG in history. Does anyone ever throw finals losses in Wade or Kyries face? All you transbronsexuals ever scream is 3-6.

AD has now gone further than he ever has, he's in a position where hes creating iconic moments like that of game 2 and a championship will be his gateway to the pantheon of great PFs since he already has a lot of the individual accolades. I see a DPOY and possibly an MVP trophy in his horizon. All these things wouldnt be possible if he was still stuck in Louisiana. Let's be objective with our criticisms rather than imbibing hackneyed jibes.

Friggin Kyle Kuzma was pump faking an open three and then bricking it. I don't even want to go through the stress of a close game tomorrow, I need a proper blowout.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:52am On Sep 24, 2020
The Lakers have presented a complaint to the league about how they are officiating LeBron. Great news! He's easily the most disrespected superstar in the league when it comes to getting calls. Mans getting the Shaq treatment.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:38pm On Sep 24, 2020
The Lakers in the postseason are 10-0 when they shoot over 30 percent from deep. For reference, they shot 23 percent in game 3, the worst since their historically poor shooting night against the Blazers in Game 1. The Nuggets about to go 3-1 down and this time around, it's the end of the road.

Your only hope to beat this Lakers team is to hope they have a poor shooting night from 3. I expect the 3 point shooting to be addressed in the off season. We need a three peat.

Green needs to go. Highly inconsistent.

That has always been the Danny Green experience. The good news is he does better as a series progresses and I expect a big game from him today. But sadly you're right, while he plays good defense most times he just doesn't seem to be worth the headache at 15m. If only they can package him along with Kuzma and a few picks for a proper third option who can get his own shot. I know Beal is a pipe dream but anyone in his ilk will do. Perhaps a Brogdon or Oladipo. Dion just doesn't seem like he will fulfill his potential. I would also like to see them get a ruthless sniper. All or shooters are wildly Inconsistent. KCP is the only one who has cemented his place in this team so far IMO. Markieff has also been great, I hope they get him back next year.

BTW I saw a rumor about Westbrook to LA and uhhh.... No thanks! cheesy

It's always crazy to me when people claim referees pander to LeBron, especially when I see the sort of treatment handed out to the likes of Harden and even AD. Kyle Korver put it best

“It’s funny because when you’re not on LeBron’s team, you’re like ‘man! That guy get’s every call’. And then you come on his team and you’re like ‘man! That guy never gets any calls, it’s unbelievable”
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:28pm On Sep 24, 2020
Just saw another stat that game 3 was the lowest number of rebounds for the Lakers since 2006. Along with the horrible effort and poor shooting and they still almost mounted a 20 point comeback. Naah, the Nuggets are toast.

I see you for what you really are. Your Transbronsexualism cannot hide a wretched existence. All of that sh-t doesn't matter, you claimed the Lakers are not a championship team. Claimed the team was filled with a washed old man, a soft choker and a pack of bums. Keep the same energy is what I'm saying you shameless dweeb.
Lmaooooooo. Shut up your mouth you flaming ignorant nonce. I'm sure you lifted that lame phrase off the interwebs. You get an E for Originality you pathetic bunch of copycats. On the bright side at least it beats the Jordansexual and Currysexual nonsense your painfully dimwitted self was trying to pass off as a comeback

But when your leader himself is an MJ wannabe who copied him from the number to everything else what can be expected from the followers

A40:
No no all jokes aside. If you're talking chemistry issues perhaps but from a talent standpoint the Lakers have the best roster in the league by a distance.
If I knew this would be the outcome of players they would land I wouldn't troll them for not getting Kawhi

I repeat Boogie Cousins and Kyle Kuzma are their third best players. Boogie Cousins has the 5th highest scoring average among active players. He's still only 28.

It will be a crying disgrace and a huge stain on LeNomad's legacy if this team doesn't win it all

A40:
Lol I don't know about that. This current Lakers squad is very balanced and dripping with depth oh. Not getting Kawhi might have been disappointing but they made up for it much better than I anticipated.

A40:
If every other person is healthy even a 80% Boogie would do. Even at a 100% playing with LeNomad, Kuzma and AD would definitely have dropped his numbers anyway. This team as constituted has no excuse to not win the Championship. This team is DEEP

What were you saying again you dyslexic crackhead? Y'all foolish Bronsexuals are the ones always with excuses about the quality of his squads. You can see that we always thought the team was good enough

Your boundless stupidity is why sarcasm and banter is always lost on you. Simple minded mofo. So I have to put disclaimer in the heat of the moment on every negative banter about the Lakers.

It's evident. Ignorance and mind numbing stupidity is an important prerequisite to be a member of the Bronsexual cult. One of the fruits of Bronsexuality

It's not my fault that you're too dim to filter rival banter from everything else. While you heauxs were whining and crying about missing on Kawhi I was here pointing out that the Lakers had enough to contend for a chip.

Not going to work. I wouldn't trade Avery Bradley for him, and we can't have him and Rondo in the same team. Except he can accept to take peanuts in exchange for assurance of a ring grin

As for Green, getting him off the roster will be a great thing for us. With 15m you can get a very good third option that can give you 18 off the bench. I don't know how possible it would be to get Zach LaVine from the Bulls. I really love what that dude is doing.

Brodie is just a horrible fit.

Yes, Lavine is a great option as well. Don't know if the peanuts we have will be enough for any serious moves but at this point you have to trust Lord Pelinka to have something up his sleeve.

BTW, While bumbling idiots like A40 keep pedaling this narrative about LeBron being cancer and no one wanting to play with him, this is the simple truth.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:56pm On Sep 24, 2020
Kobe made a great point. Truth is, not everyone is built for pressure. We all know why Pandemic P ran from it and we now see why Kawhi did the same. I remember LeBron saying he's happy he signed with the Clippers. These clowns hitched to the Kawhi bandwagon and proclaimed him their next saviour, and the man crashed their ship. Pelinka should have gone after Butler, he has hinted numerous times his desire to play for a LeBron team. Either way, things have a way of working themselves out. LeBron wins number 4 and gets his FMVP, then he rides the coat tails of AD and whichever free agent they swing next summer to a few more championships. He deserves it after all the carrying he's done.

Lmaoooo pathetic Bronsexual. I do this for fun. You're the one that usually needs psychiatric evaluation when you leave this space after getting your feelings hurt

Inspite of my knowledge of the Lakers depth I had the brass balls to bet against them winning, you had zero courage in your phony goat. Hell you only came back here when you saw the Clippers were eliminated and the Lakers were leading 2-0 versus the Nuggets. Shameless spineless frontrunner.

My quotes show that I was well and fully aware of what the Lakers had and any intelligent mind will easily filter the negative talk to the usual banter and trash talk. You're the basic mofo always needing to be spoon-fed like a child. Slug
