we're done. Thanks for a wonderful season guys. It was fun while it lasted. See you guys next season. Love y'all LN4L
It just gets keeps getting better and better 😂
Guess it's LeBron's dream of passing a ball to bronny to score a championship point.
I smell a First Round Exit!!!!!
Yoos prepare yourselves for the most embarrassing postseason
We about to witness the GOAT summons it up once last time is what now.
This demon gonna drag us through round 1 and then Luka and Reaves arrive round to face down the Thunder
Funny thing about this whole situation is at 1/2 time vs OKC I said in a online chat either Luka or Austin was gonna play the injury card Then in third quarter Luka gets injured now the next day Austin injured. But I called it ahead of time 😂. When they getting their cheeks clapped and can’t get their numbers here comes some mysterious injury 😂😂😂
Nothing to analyze, not the Lakers fault, hated all the reporting since Luka's injury.
Would have been a great postseason with a healthy Lakers team.
Several other teams are better setup for injuries, but let us be real, most teams require their Superstars against other Superstars. I have no problem with them, will love them no matter the silly gossiping that will take place soon (if not already.) They were very good before the injuries, and though the job "wasn't finished", they would have given it all in better circumstances.
Do not care who wins, not rooting for anyone, but rather have OKC lose to the other good teams.
(Do not blame Lebron later either-it's an impossible situation.)
Lebron now gets to earn that 52 million contract.
thanks coach tibs jr. , er jj. a great regular season coach by running his starter to the max leaving the stars injured or tired for the playoffs.
It's over man
Laker fans trashed LeBron all season and now you want him to save yall because your “stars” faking injuries?! GTFOH!! This is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen in NBA history. No mention of injuries while they win 15 games in a row vs trash teams. They go against a real contender, get smoked and now everyone is hurt. 😂😂. Can’t make this up man
it's hard to believe the difference a few days has made
Time to give more minutes to Vando, Knecht and Bronny. Finally but too late.
Lakers Medical Staff is so incompetent…Fire them all!
Ik LeBron makes this team better with Luka and Reaves but I’m just so curious to see how we would do without LeBron on the team potentially. I’m looking forward to that tbh lol
Well, at least JJ got 50 wins. He is done fixing up his resume.
Let's be honest here, even if you give JJ okc thunder team, he'll run their stars to the ground because he doesn't trust their bench.
Ham went to the WCF with D'lo of all people. They fired him and hired the worst version of Tom thibadeou. He'll get you 50 wins in the regular season but come playoffs, you won't have anyone healthy to play. Last season, he played the starters a whole half (2 quarters) and was pouting about not having good bench players.
Explain why AR and Bron played the whole quarters against the wizards? Why did he play the starters heavy minutes against the tanking nets even though they pulled their own starters to lose the game?
Mannnnn its over bruh
karma
Poor Lebron. He was really hoping to add another manufactured chip to his resume. Lololol
JJ is wayyyyyy over his head
TRADE IMMEDIATELY!!!
go hard on them dudes, salute 🫡
03-10 cavs – no help
10-14 wade and Bosh injury prone
15-18 kevin love and Kyrie injuries/ super team warriors
18-26 Rob Pelinka worst GM ever/teammate injuries
plot twist: Bronny James and Dalton Knecht lead the Lakers to an NBA championship😂.
I think the coaching staff , trainers, and med staff could have done better managing their players, I wasnt expecting a chip this year but we could have at least seen a deep run, you cant exoect a lot from Lebron and now he has to play the remaining games? He should be resting my goodness!
So, This means Khnect will touch the court ? Smh 🤦🏾
Throughout his whole career it has been said LeBron makes everyone better. So the lakers will be good
W T F…..🤔🤨 Go ahead retire Lebron after the end of the year man we understand go ahead and retire man it's all good I don't want to see you try to put that pressure on your back is this season gone……..❌🫡
Now y'all know how Warriors fans felt when Jimmy went down. We went from championship year to .500 team in the blink of a eye.
This is so fucked up. It's like that Thunder game was a curse on us. I hope the Spurs destroy them in the playoffs.
The season is over, but I’m still gonna watch the games.
I wanna see Thiero & Bronny play meaningful minutes to finish the season.
As for Austin Reaves, this injury couldn’t have happened at a worse time.
He’s on a contract year, & has been very inconsistent over the last 2 months.
Has been wondering if he just Dennis Shröder’ed himself.
If so, I’ll gladly take him back on a discount, but if he asks for $30 million a year (or more), let him walk & re-sign Kennard to take his place (cheaper, better shooter).
At least we had the most perfect March. One brief , shining moment when we dared to believe.
JJ REDICK PLAY SYSTEM DOES NOT FIT WITH THIS LAKERS PLAYERS ,THAT THEY HAVE ,ALL THEY GET IS INJURE …
Let's be honest the lakers are a lottery team without Luka/AR. gotta nail the offseason now to prevent luka/AR playing 35+ minutes a game next year
