Let's go Lakers Nation
A win is a win no excuses ok the Lakers won Great job Lakers
Wembalicious is ROTY AND DPOY. He's should've been MVP too if only the Spurs aren't tanking
I've been a Lakers fan since 1972 thank you win or lose
Stay healthy AD we will go all the way try to find a answer against Denver please
If zion play till last minutes they won
29 free throws for LA compared to 15 for New Orleans. The Los Angeles Free Throws do it again!
Lol. Lots of mj fanboys and lbj haters spotted. So what else is new?
Lakers won yesssss
8:58 .. Reeves was wide open
Laker fan here
Alvarado succumbed to pressure at the last seconds(1:34) He should learn from this.
The game of Zion.. let's congrats both team..
THIS FOR THE LAKERS FANS
Last year against Denver we got swept.
Game 1-4 loss by 6, 5, 9, 2 respectively.
We started DLO throughout games 1-3 and we know the player he has become in recent games. LeBron and AD are going to do they thing.
And do NOT sleep on Rui. (Maybe reaves but NOT Rui) We lost players like Tristian Thompson and Shroder and now have Gabe Vincent, Prince and Dinwiddie. More Spacing and more Defense.
But Nuggets in 5. 🦦
Benching Ingram 4 quarter is crazy …
SCOTTIE BARNES IS GARBAGE.
I got two words for ya! SCOTT! FOSTER! Enjoy the ratings, Adam Silver.
LEGOAT but Zion played amazing in this game.
I thought the refs called this one pretty fair. I thought maybe 1 or 2 sus calls, but they def didnt play a huge factor in this game. Idk what the haters were watching to say the refs cost the pels this game.
lakers got lucky today
The way zion was rolling.. could've gone either way.
I am happy and sad for the Lakers at the same time.
Happy because they are in play offs deservedly.
Sad because they are gonna face Nuggets 😔😔..no chance of winning against them
7:45
So did your mom 😂
New Orleans got cheated on they own court
I hope Lakers play like this with Denver..
Man, the lakers cut it real close and everybody got the most part shot HELLA bad! Nobody shot over 40% amongst the starters i believe. Better tighten up moving forward (pause)
This shit is rig why bc z left the game during his momenum it's like they said u can't make the Lakers look like that what are you doing think about it ppl that injurie or w.e that was… took z out the game wen he was about to start cooking up on bron and ad..
another stressful day for the haters
Laker Fan In The House:"Nice Job Yall Let's Continue To Do Better On Defense In The Next Games Please. "
Lakers got lucky this time.
How is the pelicans building not full?? Should have been packed. Get that team somewhere that folks will show up. That’s just embarrassing New Orleans.
That game was rigged. There's no way Reaves didn't foul Alverado like 3 times in the last 2 minutes.
The real season starts now what a game
0:57 Lol chill! "He's slippery inside!"
Im trading Cj. Hes supposed to be the third star but always disappearing in big games. Where u at ???
FAREWELL!
FUCK YOU NBA IKNOW YOUR FAVORITE TEAM AT PLAYER LAKERS ANG LBRON BIAS
Too bad Zion got hurt. Lakers were in trouble.
Congrats to the Lakers for only winning because of an injury! Lebron is the GOAT! Doesn't deserve anything. FUCK him.
This shit rigged asf 😂 I just be laughing now I used to love sports but it was like finding out Santa wasn’t real I hate this shit now 😢
Zion is much better than Bron at this point in their careers. Bron got cooked on both ends
D Lo was money from 3pt area
If Zion was able to do that to them I’m sorry but Joker is going to eat the Lakers. (No shade to Zion, he played great)
If y’all kiddos remember the pels got off to an incredible start this year. I believe when right they are a top 4 team in the west easily. They just have two stars that do not have a fire lit enough of the time. This year the Morant injury was a fix to suspend him like stern did Jordan for gambling. He’s lucky he’s not playing baseball. The only way Zion should have left this game walking like that is if he felt his groin pop. That was absolutely suspect. There is no way he’s coming out unless it was very serious after balling like that, oh & the irony that there was almost 2 minutes left. Ima lakers fan since Kobe’s day one hooping under coach del Harris but I always tell the truth about the lakers two fixed chips with shaq and Kobe, this game was fixed as well but I love the nugs rematch
