  1. Lakers already been double SWEPT! last playoffs 0n4 against nug
    This season 0n4
    Now a possible triple SWEEP loading

  2. It's time for LeBron to be Great beat them king and go get your 5th championship it your time king 👑👑👑

  3. Greeny your theory was stupid then and it’s stupid now. Greeny is acting like it’s a done deal that the Lakers would’ve won the next game vs the Kings. If Lakers had ost yesterday do you know their record vs the Kings? The Kings are a bad matchup for the Lakers. And let’s say the Kings have a hit shooting kinda like last night and the Lakers go cold you go from ducking Denver to joining the Warriors in Cancun.

  4. The scary thing about Denver is that the team can guard anyone, and they can score anywhere. Guard Jamal, then MPJ will be there. If you make Jokic a scorer, they will defend you and not let the other team score

  5. why is everyone on Klay, his decline is normal per great players as they aged. Yes, his production is down relative to his younger Warriors days. Draymond is still a (win) Factor when he chooses to – which gets rarer and rarer #selfish. Draymond costs Warriors TWO Championship Years A) 2022/3 Jordan Poole punch fractured team spirit. B) 2023/24 , not adapting, nor able to change personality play-style — Suspensions!!

  6. I agree with Nick Wright that the Lakers best shot to make the finals is to face the Nuggets first. Not a good chance but the best chance.

  7. Brain is an idiot, "They didnt win their way into the playoffs but through the play-in and this is their penalty" they were the 8th seed at the end of the season. What is this guy talking about?

  8. The pelicans made more made baskets, had a higher FG%, had more assist, more rebounds, less turnovers and STILL lost……refs made a BAG tonight

  9. So they gonna talk about if the warriors are done and if Draymond cost them the playoffs and all this stuff about the warriors but can't give Sacramento their respect and credit they are the team that won the game smh

  10. Joker is not a MVP… dude plays no defense & his team will still be good without him… they be hyping this non athletic mf up to much… when Jamal not playing they make excuses for Denver… so is Jamal the MVP because he clearly makes a difference

  11. Lakers season over after Nuggets work’em over. James throws himself on the floor kicking and screaming. Better luck next year. 🫡 Go sports!

  12. Up hill ? I'd say it's more of a cliff for the Lakers. Drey responsible ? Absolutely, but he's also responsible for them making it as far as they did. It's been a catch 22 question about him his whole career. Per there "in season" loss, I'd pick 2 guys responsible for their quick exit; Klay & Kerr. Both were brutality lacking. That said; an insufferable optimist would point out the absence of both CP2 & TJD took their edge off. Ultimately tho, the Dubbs simply just ran their course like every great team does.

  13. lol there saying laker have to play perfect lol they lost 3 games by -5 points. Thats with dlo shooting extremely horrible that series

  14. The Lakers beats NO only to get clapped by Denver in 5 games. Draymond has really cost GS the last 2 years with his ego missing games and jeopardy GS to have a higher seed. GS dynasty is over
