This season is Ham’s fault. Get that man out of here
😮
Lakers not winning the chip but to keep talking about them n not the top.seeds is y the king is the goat
Can you imagine Wilds spitting game 😂😂😂😂
I love Wildes lol…. He's really just letting nick know hes sick of the lebron bias and no objectivity
Why are they always talking about 9th place team 😂
The China NBA will do absolutely anything to make certain the Lakers and black lies matter Bron Bron get into the playoffs and win at least one series. Anything.
Beat Boston, suns 3x, thunder 3x, Pels 2x, Clippers 3x
Nick's vocab game is underrated. Dude casually dropped kismet
Kevin winning
Wildes 😂😂😂😂

We had arguably the best 1-2 punch ever in the NBA (Kobe-Shaq) & (Magic-Kareem) to the WORST (Leflop-A.D)
The lakers issue is pretty simple, that 3-10 stretch post IST has been the hole they’ve been trying to dig them selves out of all year. Just like last year the 2-10 start was something that took the entire year to come back from.
But this year it wasn’t a broken roster that was the issue it was darvin ham trying to big brain line ups and rotation and his love affair with Tp and cam reddish that burned the lakers all year. The fact ham went with a line up of cam reddish, TP, vando, lebron and AD was self sabotage on a level I’ve never seen before. The fact ham never went back to the line up of dlo, reaves, vando, lebron AD that went 18-8 post all start break is mind boggling. Instead he benched reaves and his reasoning was Austin could handle that role more than dlo then he benched dlo and reaves makes 0 sense. If ham had just been an average head coach and went with his 5 best of dlo AR rui lebron AD (even though I think vando over rui fits slightly better just cause you need vandos defense with that line up) like they have for the past few months that’s given them the 3rd best record in that stretch the lakers honestly could be a 4-5 seed right now.
So lakers if they end up in the playoffs in weather it’s stuck at 9 or 7-8 it’s all on ham
Why is the media acting so confused as to why the Lakers have been bad this season when it’s blatantly obvious that it’s because of Darvin ham and his poor coaching decisions.
Last 30 games the warriors are 21-9 they are also in that discussion I think
Wildes let the Tiger out!
Wildes is the real MVP
Wildes is an AI I stg
They’re actually 3-2 against the suns and haven’t beat them with their big 3 on the floor. And who knows what would’ve happened if the refs didn’t give the lakers that timeout in the play in tournament.
Wildes should not be on the show and in my opinion his presence is damaging. Always sarcastic like he’s in SNL!
Nick's realizing that it's not so easy for his guy Lebron James to make the finals every year when he has to get through the loaded Western Conference every year to do it.
– "You don't beleive in tiger to win the masters?"
– "No"
– "I do 😉"
Wildes is an absolute legend 🙌🏾
Freethrow team lakers 😂😂😂😂 ref on their payroll
Nicccckkkk 😂😂
😮
What Nick is saying is, this version of the Lakers, the best they've been all year, that's who they are and will be going forward.
Doesn't matter that for the other 80% of the year they were worse. That 80% isn't a meaningful representation. But this 20%, this hot streak, this is who they are…
Lakers going to the finals
😂😂😂😂😂 I had a blast watching a league with Defense and that’s the college games. You will only enjoy this new NBA if you are betting on sports. I don’t gamble and the refs run the games. Need Rasheed Wallace to clock some of these refs upside the head and clueless commission. Smh.
Wildes summed it up by saying if they so good why aren't they better nuff said
The “I do” at the end from Wildles. So good.
"Other than being a wry smartass…." 😂😂😂😂
I feel if the lakers would of won that game against pacers that could of got them in 6th cause they would of been 1game behind suns
Wildes: you don’t believe in Tiger
Nick: No, not to win the Masters
Wildes: I do. 😆
Broussard is such a raving idiot
People forget that the role players have been injury prone this year
The Lakers season endings almost nullify the regular season performance. Nothing about last season gave us indication they’d make it to the conference finals and that’s incredibly similar to how they’re performing this season too. I see the same thing playing out assuming they don’t face Denver in the 1st round and honestly if lakers prevailed I wouldn’t be surprised at all. I’d be impressed but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Test
wildes is genius timing what did I say 😂😂😂😂 kills me every time😂😂
