Lakers fans complaining about the challenge rule after it was made even more lenient this year AND the fact that they were +10 on FTs is such an ironic way for their season to end lmfaooooo
When does James Williams get a statue outside of Crypto?
JAMAL SCORED 20 POINTS FOR MORE IN ALL 5 GAMES
JOKER SCORED 24 POINTS FOR MORE IN ALL 5 GAMES
MPJ SCORED 19 POINTS IN 1 GAME BUT SCORED 20 POINTS OR MORE IN THE OTHER 4
Absolutely great series from MPJ.
LeJackass doesnāt acknowledge a single Nugget as he walks off the court
But itās just basketball right? Fuck you
These men need to REST up for Saturday my god
Game shouldnāt have even been that close, the lakers got almost every call tonight. Murray sends these bums to Cancun.
Itās a funny situation because of the way weāve beaten the lakers. They are good. They get a crazy whistle. And Lebron and AD combo is just crazy.Ā
I say all that because I really think Minnesotaās best canāt be better than that. If WE play smart weāll be okay.Ā
I’d like to re-echo my previous comments sentiment: LET’S FUCKING GO MAL. I’M WIRED AND WIDE AWAKE NOW.Ā
Love reading all the salty comments from the Lakers sub.
Let’s fucking go
Did anybody think that was even a B+ game from Jok? And yet, 25/20/9ā¦ thereās nobody else like him
Darvin Hamās bump was looking right at me during that interview.
My favorite part of this Ham interview is hearing our guys in the background celebrating. Lol
Grats on the win. See yall Saturday. Itās going to be a fucking war.
Jamal Murray is not real lmao.Ā
The Lakers wouldāve had timeouts if they didnāt have to waste them on LeBron and AD writhing around on the court. Shout out to KCP hobbling around on one leg so we didnāt lose a timeout. He also made a timely 3, as usual
Watch them change the timeout rules because of the Lakers
[FTL #RIPBOZO](https://youtube.com/shorts/GU4Hw-xbBNo?si=2gBuUxEGEmek3Iet)
Whew the lakers ref goons almost got us at the end
Closest sweep in history. Closest gentlemanās sweep in history. These Lakers are amazing
Letās fkn gooooo babyyyyyy
27 ft, damn the script almost got us
Whatās not fair Chuck, is them fucking up that replay.
Jokic and Jamal combined for 49 shots and took zero shooting foul FTs
Thank fucking god. Holy shit. I definitely think they would be the first team to come back from 3-0 if we lost that one. Weāre so banged up and mentally this would have been awful.Ā
Jamal Murray so clutch man.
The anti Curry.
MPJ is such a stud
Whole team didnāt play well most of the game. Jokic made highly questionable passes. MPJ went off and Jamal was perfect when it counted. Iāll take it. But the boys have to be better moving forward.
Wow Maloney press conference was great. Best stat was he was 0/0 from the line, didnāt miss a single free throw lmao. But classy to speak about Ham like that, totally agree it wasnāt his fault.
Can you imagine if the lakers won that tnt would spend 5 minutes talking about rules for challenge?
Lebron’s Twitter tomorrow: “š¤”
Translation: Pay attention to me!!!!
LAKERS GOT CHEATED OUT OF THE WIN BEING FORCED TO PLAY IN THE ALTITDE OF LA PAZ BOLIVIA AND BEING STRAIGHT UP STOLEN A TIMEOUT FOR FREE
