So much for LeBron being gassed in the 4th quarters of this series. But these points won't be enough if you have Jokic and Murray combining for almost 16. That's where AD needs to step up in the 4th quarters. 7 points from him and the Lakers would be leading this series 3-1 or at least 2-2. Fine margins.

So it wasn't a sweep after all. At least some of those scripts would never see the light of day. I thank you Jah

Nobody is sha beating this Denver. We might as well give them the title now

So they didn't give a flagrant for that dangerous play on LeBron by is it Watson? Chai

If the Lakers are going to lose this game, it'll be because of turnovers and offensive rebounds.

Face of NBA no even dey playoffs

Nah. I'll pass

Where my Dubnation family at? 😁 One love

SmooshCHN:
Draymond will get on his podcast to show his support for Bron and Klay would be on his boat first thing in the morning.

We are tired of this team for real.

As it should be. Bros supporting bros

Skrrrrrrr:
A fitting end to the season for the warriors....

You live to fight another day. Come and support the Lakers, as your California neighbours

The dynasty don try. Make dem dismantle am . That dynasty ended even before the championship in 2022. It was a fluke run to that ring, playing teams that had either their best player out or their best player having no help.

Who we go take for that Warriors team sef? Klay or Dray on a minimum no go bad. That's if GS go gree waive for us

Over to you Warriors and Kings. The winner of that game has a great opportunity to get the 8th seed because they'll be playing the Pelicans possibly without Zion.

greypencils:
Lol. Denver wins it. You yourself know na. Lakers had better tank to play a gassed Sacramento or GSW.

Not happening. Can't tempt the basketball gods like that

Honlucas:
Correction they have the best player in NBA.

Not best player in the world


The best player in the world is Dennis Schroder.

Afterall, NBA champions are "world" champions

Why is this idea of tanking even coming up sef? So you think LeBron would intentionally lose a crucial game just because he doesn't want to face Denver. Let me tell you one thing for sure, LeBron is not afraid of Denver. Yes they are the current champions and have the best player in the world. Yes they beat us the last 8 games. Yes they swept us in the conference finals last year. But it doesn't matter. The past doesn't matter when it comes to basketball, especially playoff basketball. These 2 teams are closer in terms of strength than they were last season. LeBron is fitter. AD is playing amazing. Vando's absence would hurt but we'll manage. Rui is now in the starting lineup and is playing well, which means MPJ doesn't have to sleepwalk on defense like he did against Vanderbilt last year. He will work this time.

Having said all of that, I think Denver wins it 4-2

In year 21, LeBron is still doing things that have never been done, in a league that has existed for almost 70 years. Just amazing .

birdman:
There is more to rings than talent. Where has Kyries talent gotten him since that ring? The only two in that list that have any hope is Steph and Bron because of their mindset to the game. Unfortunately they dont have the right supporting cast. KD has exposed himself, he just wants to be a gunner, nothing more. Likewise Dame and Harden. Kawhi, for all the skill in this world is criminally under-motivated. Jimmy is a Larry Brown/JVG type player, maximizing his few talents but falling short in the end. PG could have used some mentorship from Kobe. His game is nice, but it has never taken that next step. Home boy is content.

Na to sidon dey watch.

If Lakers manage beat Pels, na Denver dey wait us. I can't wait

The Warriors dodged a bullet.

birdman:
You are feeling very confident o. Normally I should feel confident with Lebron playing very good basketball right now and healthy. But as you know, this thing comes down to AD. And you know how your boy be

Another part of me feels like the old school teams should just be cut off, let the youngns ball. This could be the coming out party for some young talent

Lol. The old guys are not done yet it's obvious. Guy, that class of players is like the most talented group ever. Bron, Steph, KD, Dame, PG, Kyrie, Harden, Kawhi, Jimmy. They're not going anywhere.

Omo. Sunday go hot o

steady986:
Warriors lose. The Suns could lose too. Looks like this thing is going down to the wire

Ah, apparently the Suns winning the Kings was the best result for the Lakers. We're now up to 8th position. We win the Pels in the final game and we remain 8th and play the Suns in the Play-in if they also win their final game. They lose against Minnesota and we play the Pels. Oluwa, do am for us o.

Warriors lose. The Suns could lose too. Looks like this thing is going down to the wire

Everybody wants to play against the Lakers. Like guys literally tick that day on the calendar as games they must not miss. They could be on any kind of injury, the Lakers game would serve as a timetable for their return. See Ingram is set to play against the Lakers in the final game of the season after missing 12 games in a row. What about Kuzma? No other team gets this kind of top priority in the league. I mean, when you combine LeBron, the city of LA and the historic franchise that the Lakers are, guys wouldn't even mind playing on crutches when it comes to the Lakers.

Omo, our eyes were on 6th place just 2 days ago. But as e be now, na that 10th we go dey. Chai. We move sha

Shebi after now person go come talk say Lakers dey shoot too many FTs. You get smacked in the eye while dunking the ball and no single call. Just like it happened against the Warriors.

I'll keep saying it, the Lakers don't get enough foul calls

Lmao. Wetin be this? Moving screen at its finest

Been getting away with it for years 😂 pic.twitter.com/0Cz9t6kVUs

The league need to do something about these illegal screens the Warriors set regularly. Look at this nasty double moving screen by CP and Draymond on Derrick Jones Jr for the Steph 3 late in the game. By the time the refs blow one or two offensive fouls in crunch time, they'll be forced to play the game the right way.

look at the screens I’m begging u pic.twitter.com/c1w0lGNEfb

LeBron has 2 HOF careers clumped as one

Skrrrrrrr:
Mumu. Na you dey even give people talking points.
LeBron has only just surpassed Jordan in scoring 30points a game even though he has played in over 400 more games. No wonder Jordan has the Superior PPG.
The only stats LeBron has over Jordan are for longevity. Not for efficency, not for ability, not for execution and not for effectiveness....
Nonsense.

Do you know how many less games it took for LeBron to pass MJ in assists and rebounds? Or DDs or TDs

All MJ was is a shot stuffer and usage merchant that got marched to the line at the slightest provocation.

Make I post this one now make person come tell me say na longevity stat Longevity stat kee you there
