Lakers had a tough schedule coming into this game, give them a break!!!!
Lakers overrated here
the lakers are the goat team😌
isnt there still a chance warriors will make 5th seed?
Every team in the nba has a B2B this week & the Lakers have played the least amount of B2B in the league. Lakers played all their guys, looking for revenge against PG-less Clippers but got smoked!!!!
Again all about the Lakers….. I will laugh so hard when they get bounced off in the playoffs
Excuse excuse excuse after losse!!!
Lakers win..lebron is GOAT
AD and lebron best duo!
Lakers losse after referee not carry lakers vs clippers not giving above 30 free throw attempt!
Lakers win the game by free throw!
Adam silver saving career this seaso to make alltime scoring lebron memorable!
We are witnessing how hard espn rides KD D lol sympathize when he fails excuses and demolishes others
Malika let Perk say something challenge xD
Scheduling conflicts?? This is your King??
Lakers is tired Back to back Game with ot
What a misleading graphic about the Grizz when Ja sat out one of the lost games and bane and jaren sat out the other lost game. Only bulls beat Grizz when all 3 played
Lakers fans been hella quiet since last night 😂
I’m doing research to see if Jordan ever lost 11 straight times to one team 🤔
11th straight loss and y’all 🤡🤡🤡🤡 at ESPN continue to make every excuse for the Lakers.. has every game against them over 2 plus seasons been on the 2nd night of back to backs. Exactly why your ratings are dropping fast. The Lakers/Lebron propaganda has gotten far past ridiculous. Treat every player and every team the same. Sooo biased.
The fact that Russ is thriving with the Clippers tells me all i need to know about Ty Lue and also, about LeGM. Westbrook was brought there to be a scapegoat. they never veen TRIED to really incorporate him into their offense.
Jokic about to be a 3 time MVP in his prime tho. Id put my money on that guy, unless…
0-17k is CRAZY!!!!
‘When Zubac has a double double it’s really hard to beat the Clippers’ he’s averaged a double double all season lmao the excuses are crazy
hmm gPAS CATFISH LOOKING BUT HE OLD AND CATFISHING TRYING 2 BALL VIA THEREALL&s INSTA HAS NOT OR EVER STOLEN OUR SHINEs repping another topic for select IE Any BFFFAMs not leaving WORLD.. MEDIA
I never heard Kobe say scheduling conflicts 😂 ok
Always a Lakers fan! ❤️❤️😘
Also I want to use this medium to appreciate Mrs Amandakolbach for all the helped rendered to me so far!!… as of few months back my house was mortgaged but I can proudly say not ANYMORE!☺️☺️
Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Pelicans Scenarios
If they all tied…
Clippers
vs. Lakers: 4-0
vs. Warriors: 2-2
vs. Pelicans: 0-3
Overall: 6-5
Lakers
vs. Clippers: 0-4
vs. Warriors: 3-1
vs. Pelicans: 3-1
Overall: 6-6
Warriors
vs. Clippers: 2-2
vs. Lakers: 1-3
vs. Pelicans: 2-2
Overall: 5-7
Pelicans
vs. Clippers: 3-0
vs. Lakers: 1-3
vs. Warriors: 2-2
Overall: 6-5
5. Pelicans
6. Clippers
7. Lakers
8. Warriors
The highest the Pelicans can win is 43. Their next 2 are Knicks and @ Minnesota.
Now let's say Clippers beats Portland but loses @ Phoenix. Let's say Warriors and Lakers both win the final 2.
5. Warriors (44W)
6. Pelicans (43W)
7. Clippers (43W)
8. Lakers (43W)
The H2H records between the Pels, Clippers, and Lakers will decide the order.
Pelicans: 4-3
Clippers: 4-3
Lakers: 3-5
Since Pels and Clippers are tied , Pels will still be above the Clippers due to having the better conference record.
Conference Records (next tiebreaker)
Pelicans: 31-22 (if they win their final 2)
Warriors: 30-22 (if they win their final 2)
Clippers: 26-26 (if they win POR, lose @ PHX)
Lakers: 27-25 (if they win their final 2)
Looking like my Clippers needs to win both games this weekend if Pelicans gets in the mix. If that's the case, Clippers will end up 5th. They own the tiebreaker over the Warriors.
Clippers fans better hope the Pelicans split or lose both games. If a split and Clippers beat Portland but lose @ Phoenix because we all know Kawhi isn't playing in a B2B…
5. Warriors (44W)
6. Clippers (43W)
7. Lakers (43W)
8. Pelicans (42W)
If the Warriors lose @ Sac, Clippers lose @ Phoenix, and everyone else wins their games…
5. Pelicans (43W)
6. Clippers (43W)
7. Lakers (43W)
8. Warriors (43W)
Pelicans throwing a monkey wrench in the equation. But I say they're going to split. They're losing one these 2 games. NY and @ Minny looks tough. Minny is desperate. Clippers can't afford to be tied with Pelicans and must beat Portland.
5. Warriors (44W)
6. Clippers (43W)
7. Lakers (43W)
8. Pelicans (42W)
If they all win their final 2 games…
5. Clippers (44W)
6. Warriors (44W)
7. Lakers (43W)
8. Pelicans (43W)
No excuses they had our number for some time 🤷🏽♂️ still won’t win a chip tho
The Clippers beat the Lakers like they stole something
Ain't no way we tryna make excuses about back to back, when Clippers had more back to backs games than the Lakers had the entire season cmon now
Too bad the Clippers can’t do this in the postseason…
