It was a good run guys. Let’s be proud of our players and not throw them under the bus. Everyone had great moments in different games. Nuggets were just the better team. The front office has some tough decisions this off season. But one thing is for sure. Keep AR and Rui at all costs. GL Nuggets.

AR and Rui got the needed playoff experience under their belts. Keep the hunger young guys
at least now we know d’lo is a fraud. hopefully we can sign and trade him for something
Nah fuck Dlo dude can have fun asking for 25 million this offseason
AR and Rui have to come back, that’s all I ask
From 2-10 to here Max Christie looked solid so there’s that
Get rid of DLO at all costs, he is an absolute cancer on the court
We have our core- Lebron, AD, Reaves, Rui. A lot of work needs to be done to upgrade the rest of the roster
It was a good run coming from 13 seed to 7 seed and then conference final. Just hoping it isn’t a swept. Will be happy to see either nuggets or heat to win it all.
What an embarrassing way to lose the series. No sense of urgency.
Definitely a good run from the trade deadline to now; it was inspiring.
What tough decision? I mean maybe try to keep Schroeder at a good price. But all they have to do is resign AR and rui, try and get something for Beasley.
Yeah, we did alright. I’ve calmed down. I won’t be commenting offensive remarks from here on.
They are good. We will have a good Finals of Nuggets vs Heat. Two likable teams.
Love the fight of this team; they never gave up. He’s been horribly outcoached this series, but Ham and his staff did show some signs of life after the trade deadline.
I do want the major players back (Rui, DLo, Reaves) and I hope Jeanie is willing to go deep into the tax to get something for the Beasley/Bamba $26.5m of cap relief and our first round pick.
We still got prime AD for next year and we can definitely build off that. Hopefully bron gets the surgery and comes back strong than ever for next season but in reality he’s probably done as well he’s 39. We over achieved this season gg lakers
Fuck the Nuggets, im rooting for Jimmy Buckets
We really won the trade deadline by subtraction. Beas was beyond shit and D-Lo had very few decent games
all d lo did was prove wolves fans right. he disappears when needed most and is a traffic cone on defense. good riddance
Win or lose, just be glad this team made it this far from the 2-10 days
Lots of work to be done this off season
Let’s be honest, we win this series with a healthy Lebron. He’s just not right. Ankle, foot, he’s in pain out there.
Hopefully everyone is healthy next year and lakers bring back AR and rui. Lebron playing injured also played a big factor in him settling for threes.
I really want Rui and AR. Both of those guys are highlights. AR I believe will become a bona-fide starter. Rui is an amazing role player.
The Nuggs are no joke. Give it up to them beating us at home. Proud of our guys. These last 3 games have all hurt so bad.
I hate how reactionary the sub is being rn. Tbh I’m surprised the lakers were even able to hang in for 3 games, Denver was just by a decent margin the superior team. Hella people shitting on DLo cuz he was ass but this just was a bad matchup for him, like how Rui was for GS. Ham needs to do a better job of recognizing that and having the balls to put out the best lineups for each series, but with that said DLo should be resigned too. Very slim chance lakers can bring back better production for the dollar this offseason and he’ll still be very good for taking pressure of Bron and AD during the reg season and useful depending on playoff matchups.
Made the conference finals after starting 2-10 with a rookie HC and a 2 month old roster with lebron on a bad foot. Try to keep it in perspective people. Bring back the team with some tweaks next year, keep lebron and AD fresh and should be contenders if not favorites next year
Lakers still just dont have the shooting and denver seems to never miss an uncontested 3
It’s a 7 game series….
We just hit our ceiling this year. Very good experience for our teams especially for AR and rui. Keep our chin up regroup again this summer and win it all next year 🤝 also getting a home court advantage in postseason helps too
Yeah like, people totally shitting on the Lakers when this team formed literally half season, it’s impressive they’ve maded this far and especially beating the Warriors dynasty. Losing to the best team with the best players at the moment is no shame. We gotta work our flaws for the next one but no shame AT ALL
It just sucks that d lo and Beasley just ended up being shit for us, why can’t we ever have good consistent shooters it’s a curse that follows lebron.
As I always say during these types of posts, celebrating a WCF appearance isn’t the Lakers way, but neither is starting 2-10 with a 0.3% shot at the playoffs.
I was proud of us just making the first round, let alone getting out of it. Look at how far we got! My head will remain high. We finished this season off stronger than we started.
I’m just proud of this team that went from never seeing the playoffs to western conference playoffs in a year or months
I like your title, that totally sums up my feelings. We finished top 4 after being 2-10 & cursing Westbrook every night. Thats REALLLLY impressive & good job Rob… and the Nuggets are the better team. No doubt, just deep deep deep with dudes who can play.
Lets keep Rui & Reeves, & deal the rest. May I say for the 5th year in a row: WE NEED SHOOTERS. Im done…
I’m proud of our team and rocking with the whole team until the end.
What a rollercoaster of a season. I’m proud how the team fought after the trade deadline, but looks like all energy they had to spend to get into the play ins and the first two rounds caught up to them
💜💛💜💛. Love this team, so proud.
It’s not over
I’ll be rooting for the Heat, but the Nuggets are an amazing team and I feel fine losing to them.
Rui and AR. I’d keep Dennis if it’s friendly. DLO gotta go. Vando as well unfortunately. He’s a great defensive presence but his lack of scoring hurts when the supposed guard that should be getting buckets provides negatives
Just trade dlo man hes not built for it i was rooting for the kid
This is a good team guys!!! Slapped together last minute and went far. We just need one good off season and health and this team can make one last lebron led run. Load managing bron too!
Love the attitude, I hate all these scapegoating posts. I respect you for your stance. Win together lose together 💪
Hell yeah I’m proud of this mfing team. Let’s go Lakers forever!
