I wouldn't go full try to lose the game to avoid Denver, but I'm only playing Bron and AD about 20 mins. I don't want the look of we scared or trying to lose, but i do want Bron and AD more rested.
It's lakers time this idiots think we can't win a series against Denver trust me it's lakers Time bully ball all the way we will beat Denver in 6 lakers for the championship
You can tell when people say crazy things to get views and just be on the opposite side of things. Yeah no lakers cannot lose and should not lose this game the games are played to win from here on out.
“Your going home for the summer anyway “ the hate on national tv is insane 🤣. I can’t wait for Denver to lose this year stop all this Denver bandwagon shit
You tank to avoid the nuggets? Then you play either of the other 2 teams you also struggle against. Aint no guarantee they beat the Kings or Warriors in 1 game
Really? That’s the worst advice ever. Lebron and AD have more energy and momentum now than later if or when they face them later on. You stand 10 toes down and face that demon head on‼️😤😤😤

The Lakers losing on purpose would be the most coward move and would let’s be real even if they won the nba finals people would say they avoided Denver. Take credit away from lebron. Play Denver and win
This whole Convo is what wrong with the NBA. No heart no competitive spirit. Den swept la last year and they don't want no get back. This is y'all's goat 🤣
Bro no way they’re unironically talking about intentionally loosing. The Nuggets are unimpeachable when it comes to their skill as a team, but to say anyone would intentionally loose as to not face them is wild.
I agree with Greene on this one. I understand that from an optics and public relations perspective it’s a terrible look. You are sacrificing competitive integrity, pride, and the message is so transparent that you perceive the thunder to be far inferior to the Nuggets. It says a lot about the character of your team and organization in a very negative way. But if we’re willing to sacrifice that integrity, let’s keep it a buck, there’s not one team that objectively would say they would rather play the Nuggets than the thunder. That’s the cold honest truth. Like greeny said, if you get swept by Denver again what does it matter if your seasons over with the loss to Sacramento or Golden State versus losing in five games to Denver? I get what the comments are saying, but the nuggets were bored in the regular season. There isn’t a legitimate argument to say that you would rather play them than OKC. In a very sneaky way the bucks through the game yesterday too so that way they didn’t have to play the 76ers or the heat. They did it in a really subtle way that didn’t raise the eyebrows. Teams do this. The Lakers have a better chance of being in the thunder, and I think they should do it.
Lebron still run the NBA! Joker is trending right now until Lebron Humbles him! Curry is a force to be reckoned with.. Now they act like curry ain’t still HIM !! At the end of the day they will have to face Denver now or later !
The Media is So Ignorant. LAKERS can't afford to Tank Elimination Games, they'll mess around an miss the playoffs doing that. Denver isn't as good as they were last year, Lakers are better than the were last year
lebron has shown he will stoop to lobbying to have an apposing player suspended to give him a better chance to win. Remember one thing: it is all about him. If he doesn't want to play denver in the first round, he has to do it in a way that doesn't make him look bad. If AD doesn't play, the look is that he can't win without AD. Look for lebron to miss the game with his phantom ankle injury.

Yea its a risk but the reward of U beat Denver & ur now the favorites to win it all is how the Lakers have to look at it
It's lakers time this idiots think we can't win a series against Denver trust me it's lakers Time bully ball all the way we will beat Denver in 6 lakers for the championship
Sports analysts trolling for clicks is nasty work smh hard as they worked just to get to this point why tf would they tank? Smh idiotic
That’s so dumb. You don’t guarantee that you beat the warriors or kings. So you try to beat the pelicans if you can if you can’t you can’t
Give us Denver
You can tell when people say crazy things to get views and just be on the opposite side of things. Yeah no lakers cannot lose and should not lose this game the games are played to win from here on out.
Mavs or Clipps winnig this year. Called it.
I dont care who i gotta play next, we in it for all smoke. Never in life have i thought to lose on purpose or had coach tell me that.
The thing is I’m not sure if I can trust AD and the rotational players to show up consistently in a series against the Nuggets. Bron will be Bron
Champions don't run. They Man-up! Bron is still the man!
The Nuggets were running wild last season. This year, they look human. Lakers stand a good chance honest to God. 🤞🏾
Everybody so high on Denver when Jamal Murray ain’t even been healthy 🤔
RIP Lakers, free food
To be the biggest organization for basketball . Why tf are we even suggesting to lose on purpose that’s the dumbest shit ever that’s sucker shit
Let's go lakers win 💪💪💪
0-9, that’s Anthony Davis’s record vs Sacramento when Sabonis plays, yeah great plan
Was a sweep but the most competitive sweep i saw and i always felt the lakers were close each game
Lakers in 6 bye bye Denver
“Your going home for the summer anyway “ the hate on national tv is insane 🤣. I can’t wait for Denver to lose this year stop all this Denver bandwagon shit
Damn they really have bought into this narrative.
WHY DO THEY TREAT DENVER LIKE THEY ARE THE KD WARRIORS!??
They all sounds like a bunch of clowns. Lebron is better getting Denver early than late.
Why are these idiots talking basketball
You tank to avoid the nuggets? Then you play either of the other 2 teams you also struggle against. Aint no guarantee they beat the Kings or Warriors in 1 game
if lake feature in playoff lake should let Denver walk over so nobody get hurt
Really? That’s the worst advice ever. Lebron and AD have more energy and momentum now than later if or when they face them later on. You stand 10 toes down and face that demon head on‼️😤😤😤
Greeny needs to stop with this. The Lakers will beat the Pelicans and take the defending Champs in round 1.

As a basketball player if the kings win and know the lakers lost on purpose they are gonna destroy them.
