LeBron james - such a good player that KCC has given him 3 triple doubles in a series where he's had none.

I love how he keeps rounding up. Oh sure, completely petty, but hilarious nonetheless.

The series was over after game 2. And yeah, James played a significant role in that loss, KCC excuse-making notwithstanding. That said, after watching Denver just methodically continue to hammer away, I feel like the series may have been over after game 1. I'm not sure LA could've won this thing even with a G2 win. I think they'd have needed to steal BOTH games in Denver, use Game 3 as a giveaway game, throw a shitload at game 4 to go up 3-1, tank game 5 and try to close it out in 6.

Denver was just a better team.

The funniest thing is now the Lakers need to mortgage the tiny bit of value they have left for *checks notes* Kyrie Irving. Also signing him to aax contract to boot I'm assuming.

Despite being 39 years old and playing on a bad foot, he still managed to average nearly the same line he's been averaging for decades now in these series (a 30 point triple double). Yeah, he can't take on the same scoring load he used to but that's where he needs more help from his teammates and didn't get it in the Denver series. The guy is the greatest to ever play the game and he proves it every time he steps between the lines.

If you have any better plan to make them a better team, let me know. I suppose they could consider trading AD (given he only shows up in half of his playoff games), but they're never getting a player back as good as him if they do.

I told you exactly how it would go.

Barry's anger makes me smile.

At least the Suns didn’t get swept. Get ****ed, Lakers.

Tough night for Connection. Swept and then cried like a baby when pointed out that his precious "AP 1" and "bubble" title is not acknowledged anywhere other than Hickville and Hollyweird.

LeBron should evaluate why he's a ****ing bitch in the fourth quarter whether it's 2011 or 2023.

He buys those ****ing tuck panties from Target for both himself and bronny I bet.

Only 27? Maybe not clanking a few more 3s prevent the broom?

Idk it seems like the NBA is just having a down year. There doesn’t appear to be a truly dominant team except maybe Denver.

The East was full of paper Tigers and the West just isn’t that good. The Lakers looked like a 7 seed…bc they were. They were just inflated by media bc of LeBron and…they’re the Lakers.

Denver is probably gonna win it but I want their fans to continue suffering. **** Donk forever and they’re of the same ilk.

Jimmy Butler should be everyone’s favorite. His story is awesome. They’ve got experience from the bubble finals.

Hope they sweep Dungver and make their fans cry

Torn between rooting for the unathletic white guy or Butler ,who has that MJ dog in him.

give me the dirk on steroids :evil:

Love Dirk. Single handedly took down 3 top 75 guys in their prime.
