LBJ was horrible the whole series. one half out of 16 quarters in the series dont count for much. that too, the half LBJ played great was at home.
superstars need to play like that on the road especially when you dont have HCA. thats what Jordan, Bird, Hakeem, Magic were known for.
LBJ should retire. its embarassing for someone who is all time great, top 10. He is great but just not GOAT material. The more he sticks around, the more he will ruin his legacy. particularly after ankle surgery as he will get into all sorts of achillies tear, knee issues to compensate for weak post-surgical degenerative arthritic ankle. He played 20 yrs. He should just walk off instead of dragged off the floor.
Ppl just overhyped the lakers for no reason. When they got above 500 the entire nba narrative became about who was gna face lakers in finals. They hit 8th seed and the fans went nuts sayin only lbj haters thought he wasnt gna make finals. Then sweep. And now its all about how hes better than 99% of players but he hasnt won since bubble. Laker fans deserved that heart break.
Reasons Lakers Lost
1. DLO went MIA
2. AD went MIA after the first game
3. Joker and Murray were the two best players in the Series!
4. LBJ was exhausted
5. Lakers Team was put together in last 3 months.
6. Darvin Ham fist year head coach.
7. Austin Reeves the Lakers third best player is literally his second year in the NBA.
8. Lakers lacked veterans guards off the bench.
If Denver stays healthy, I could see them winning a few championships in the next five years. As long as they don’t make too many changes by trading good players and getting a few duds Denver is going to be a juggernaut for the next decade. If all goes well I could totally see them becoming a dynasty with multiple championships
Lebron is not retiring, it’s a smokescreen to be talking about that instead of the embarrassing sweep and to keep him relevant with the media during the off-season because he’s a narcissist like Meghan Markle, It’s just PR shit nothing more
Two reasons jamal murray and jokic whos playing at the highrst per than any player in nba history. Oh and ad going for 40 then 10 and dlo disappearing scoring 4 points dont reaply help either but the nuggets are a good team
The GOAT debate ended when the Denver dethroned the “Kong.”
Nuggets are just plain lucky
no one's in rhythm playing with lebron lol
terrible
The series was much closer than people want to admit. I feel that if DLO (only 6.3 PPG on 32% FG) showed up, Lakers win in 6.
Bron and ham to lesser extend failure to recognise that bron cannot close the game anymore and rely more on others to make shots is what doomed them. Hero ball all the times in final minutes.
