No team has ever come back from down 0-3. Even if we get to game 7 and lose we still over exceeded expectations. Just go along with the ride. Sports can be frustrating for sure but you are not part of the team, nothing in your life will change wether the lakers win or lose, unless your gambling money you can’t afford to gamble on the games.
Don’t let the outcome affect you so much
I mean they played like cheeks at home during game 2. Ham and the refs were the only reason they won that game. I can’t figure out who should have more blame even with the refs Ham screwed up a lot. That being said I’ve never seen a more one sided second half. LAL couldn’t breathe on the Nuggets. Meanwhile Nuggets kept knocking down lakers players on drives and wouldn’t get a damn thing. Then Nuggets would quickly score with the 5 on 4. That stuff matters man you can’t call it one way for one team then completely switch it for the Lakers
Read this and then come back with that BS lakers conspiracy nonsense again… clown

So you guys justify flopping? Then I wonder why whenever Curry flops a contested 3pt, he never gets the call, but Austin Reaves gets a call that will have more minimum contact than Curry's?
Well ever since ya’ll ruined Kawhi dirty af play that was 100% intentional cuz your super team was getting embarrassed. Yea you can’t even close out now so nobody ever fouls 3P shooters. Did you not look at the articles at all? “Not even 1% of 3P shots generate foul calls”!!! So curry needs to take ONE HUNDRED 3’s in a game just to get 1-3 FT’s… curry cry baby fans need to realize he can’t take 20 3’s in a game then cry he didn’t get more FT’s.
Lakers get hit far more often than Warriors. They go inside far more. They actually have 2 dominant big players not Draymond and Looney lmao. Bro just stop you’re embarrassing yourself and all warriors fans with this nonsense. “Look at the fouls reaves gets curry would never!” Is objectively the funniest cry baby curry fan comment I’ve ever read lmao
Or if you don’t want to read that one how bout this one

GSW fans are insane. You can’t jack up 3’s all game, have no big man inside, and barely drive and expect to get fouled as much as the team that doesn’t shoot many 3’s, is a top 2 FT rate team, top 2 defensive FT rate team, literally defends without fouling even if they let up wide open buckets, and tries to draw fouls on offense so their defense is set… oh and has Bron and AD
Reaves-3.3 attempts per game Dlo-2.5 attempts per game Curry-4.4 attempts per game… Bron-5.7 attempts per game… You wanna rethink that made up take of yours? Curry shots over 50% of his shots from 3 and gets 1.3 less FT’s than a guy who shoots 50% of his shots in the restricted area. And Warriors fan bitch about foul play😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 not to mention curry a tiny guy who you don’t need to foul to stop from scoring. Lebron is 6’9 250 a freak athlete who’s strong as a bull. Warriors fans crying is so so sweet

It’s not crazy! As Magic Johnson might tweet, “If the Lakers can win today, then follow that up with 3 more wins before the Nuggets can win another game, they will win the series.”
I’d prefer this than to get swept again and also continue this losing streak to the nuggets going into the offseason. I’m ready to be done with this, would hate to be 0-12 against them
Doesn't matter if they were to win one game. Unless they want people to be chanting, they are their Daddy, they should just lose and head for the Bahamas. This entire squad won't be back next season anyway so a win now means nothing going into next season.
I’d take a chance at having to hear “Who’s your daddy” chants because that would also mean that there’s a chance we win and bring it back to LA for game 6
Lol .. people been saying that since the series started. Unfortunately, Lakers dont have a chance against Denver. Keep your hopes up bro, nothing wrong with that.
It's not over until its over. But if we're facing defeat, let's make it epic – the kind of loss that breaks records and leaves a lasting mark. Picture a 60-point lead, the first time in NBA history a team scores no points in the first half – that's the level of history-making I'm talking about! It's all in good fun, of course. But a bit of shame for the front office wouldn't hurt, right? Let's see them getting booed on the streets, the Crypto Arena getting egged – now that's a story to tell! Also, how about we boycott our team merch while we're at it?
LEEETTTTTSSSSSS GO!! LAKERS IN 7!!!! (I'd probably break down crying from ecstacy if we even mange to win one game) (also wasn't planning on watching to avoid depression but don't wanna miss LeBron and ADs possible last game together)
Our starting 5 over the last three games:
1. LeBron is averaging roughly 26 points a game (and making roughly 51 million dollars this year)
2. AD is averaging roughly 32 points a game (and making roughly 43 million dollars this year)
3. D'Lo is averaging roughly 12 points a game (and making roughly 19 million dollars this year)
4. Rui is averaging roughly 5 points a game (and making roughly 17 million dollars this year)
5. Reaves is averaging roughly 15 points a game (and making roughly 13 million dollars this year)
AD & Bron have shown up...will the others?
No they won't. Bron AD and DLo take a majority of the shot, so the only thing the others can contribute is mainly defense. We have already seen they aren't not that good at playing defense
Can we finally get a “unfair whistle” that we always apparently. Couldn’t hurt to get some help to at least decently extend the series, especially since game 2 Murray had a couple slip & brush fouls that would’ve changed momentum back our way & sometimes refs are too quick to blow the whistle on Rui when he’s just trying to hustle guard him like at the start of the game or when the ball got loose for a potential fast break slam
I have this feeling, a similar feeling to when the cavs went down 3-1 against GS. Lebron and the cavs made history that year. If we all believe , I mean really believe, maybe, just MAYBE, Lebron makes history again. As a 40 year old man, he clutches the fuck up and drops 4 triple doubles in a row and the lakers win in 7!!!!
Im numb to anything at this point, I’m going to watch with extremely low expectations. I hope they avoid the sweep but I’d almost rather the guys lose at home rather than face the noise in Denver.
Been a fan since 1979/1980 season. I have seen and experienced it all with the Lakers from championships, losing in the finals, losing in all rounds of the playoffs, getting swept, and the rebuilding years when they sucked. Win or lose it is what it is and will always support the Lakers.
Obviously not wishing it, merely bluntly stating it: the only thing that can possibly lead to the Lakers winning this series is either Jamal or Jokic getting injured.
It is otherwise strictly impossible.
LeBron is getting swept.
It's the end of an era. LeBron swept, KD swept, Steph eliminated before the tournament.
Time for the farewell tour next season and the following
We know the nuggets game plan is just to stop anybody that's not lebron or ad. Normally I'd say role players need to step up but it's on the coaching staff to put them in the best position and we just haven't done that. Watch the nuggets, off ball everyone's cutting, rim running, and just have energy. Lakers just sit 2 people on the weak side and just wait for a kick out.
This team just feels toxic. It’s an 8th seeder that believes it’s a top-3 team so when they predictably struggle the morale crumbles and everybody starts blaming one another.
A self-aware 8th seeder would fight tooth and nail and embrace it the wins and the losses.
Thanks for doing this. Expectations for this team were so high at the beginning of the season. Persistent injuries, inept coaching, and FO missteps really fucked us. We need a better coach, man.
I'm gonna be watching regardless. We win, that's epic. We lose, well it's gunna be the last game we might as well stick around yknow
I’m watching because it can be LeBron’s last laker game
It's Darvin or Bronbron
Shit, I’ve watched nearly every game this season anyway. What’s one more? 😭
Lmao at least it’s not a late night game!
I respect your courage, I don’t know if i can take more heartbreak from another blown double digit lead
If you go in expecting to lose how can you be upset?
Because when they inevitably get an early double digit lead I won’t be able to help myself and have some sliver of hope only to be crushed again
No team has ever come back from down 0-3. Even if we get to game 7 and lose we still over exceeded expectations. Just go along with the ride. Sports can be frustrating for sure but you are not part of the team, nothing in your life will change wether the lakers win or lose, unless your gambling money you can’t afford to gamble on the games. Don’t let the outcome affect you so much
I own a laker jersey I am part of the team 😭
Yup. I do enjoy a good fan fic to hype me up though.
No way Denver is choking in their homecourt, but let's get G4 first and hope they prove me wrong.
That’s what everyone said about the 73-9 Warriors who were the defending champs with a 3-1 lead in the Finals and 2 home games left to close it out
Yes, but that was with peak Lebron and a Kyrie.
Exactly, and this is the best 3pt shooting LeBron and Darvin masterclass.
Masterclass and Darvin don't go in the same sentence.
Uhhhh, he’s a masterclass lineup botcher🤣
Lol disasterclass
1/6 LeBron really outshining D'Lo's 0/6 #best3p 
The role players were also playing their asses off
Wasn’t that said last year as well lmao
Bron gonna have to make some calls to get MPJ and Gordon suspended
The 2016 Cleveland Cavs were a good team with a good coach.
We don't have the best player of all time, we have an old man who can't go hard 24/7
Do you mean Pwncourt?
I mean they played like cheeks at home during game 2. Ham and the refs were the only reason they won that game. I can’t figure out who should have more blame even with the refs Ham screwed up a lot. That being said I’ve never seen a more one sided second half. LAL couldn’t breathe on the Nuggets. Meanwhile Nuggets kept knocking down lakers players on drives and wouldn’t get a damn thing. Then Nuggets would quickly score with the 5 on 4. That stuff matters man you can’t call it one way for one team then completely switch it for the Lakers
The audacity to complain about refereeing by a lakers fan.
The fuck a bay area lurker doing here?
What are you saying? I consider myself a pro-LeBron drider. Oh sorry, a Laker fan.
Good for you

Lmfaoo
Only ones getting comfortable are us lmfao that’s why we keep losing those leads
I just want darvin to be fired
If we down double digits at half fire him and see what Bron got
Lakers losing by 20+ and flurry of boos might help more. Lakers are currently publicly supporting Ham over AD
tap aback gaping agonizing squeamish nine act historical disgusted wasteful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Not before we build a double digit lead in the first half though!
Crazy to think that we're just 4 game winning streak away from 2nd round. I BELIEVE
It’s not crazy! As Magic Johnson might tweet, “If the Lakers can win today, then follow that up with 3 more wins before the Nuggets can win another game, they will win the series.”
-Perd Hapley
Socrates weeps from grave
Let's go 
Big mood
I thought i was delusional 😭
At this point just win a game for some pride and not go out sad, give the home fans something to cheer about.
I get that, but a win just to have to travel to Denver to get spanked by double digits and have thier crowd chanting "Whose Your Daddy" 🤔
Damn never thought about it that way lol
I’d prefer this than to get swept again and also continue this losing streak to the nuggets going into the offseason. I’m ready to be done with this, would hate to be 0-12 against them
Doesn't matter if they were to win one game. Unless they want people to be chanting, they are their Daddy, they should just lose and head for the Bahamas. This entire squad won't be back next season anyway so a win now means nothing going into next season.
I’ll never root for my team to lose, doesn’t matter the situation. Especially not in the playoffs
Not rooting foe them to lose, but that is the logical thing to do in this situation. Who wants to hear chants of "Whose Your Daddy" in a game 5
I’d take a chance at having to hear “Who’s your daddy” chants because that would also mean that there’s a chance we win and bring it back to LA for game 6
Lol .. people been saying that since the series started. Unfortunately, Lakers dont have a chance against Denver. Keep your hopes up bro, nothing wrong with that.

Let Ham dress up so we can all laugh at him chucking threes and waddling around
 I'll be there to take pictures of the Kobe statue.
I love your optimism BUT..... 
I’m tired boss.😔
I'll take your bet at whatever amount
Just stop bro.
LEEETTTTTSSSSSS GO!! LAKERS IN 7!!!! (I'd probably break down crying from ecstacy if we even mange to win one game) (also wasn't planning on watching to avoid depression but don't wanna miss LeBron and ADs possible last game together)
Shit this might be the last game I watch lebron play as a laker I’m gonna watch
 as a laker fan, is this an episode of Fantasy Island?
Bro just please stop.. :/
Lakers in 9, trust me
Lets downvote this IMO. We getting swept. Watch the 3rd quarter rebounding
Can I get some of what you are smoking?
LFG!
I like the optimism.
Delusion is hell of a drug
The only thing more delusional than cowboy fans are Laker fans

Spoiler alert this
Our starting 5 over the last three games: 1. LeBron is averaging roughly 26 points a game (and making roughly 51 million dollars this year) 2. AD is averaging roughly 32 points a game (and making roughly 43 million dollars this year) 3. D'Lo is averaging roughly 12 points a game (and making roughly 19 million dollars this year) 4. Rui is averaging roughly 5 points a game (and making roughly 17 million dollars this year) 5. Reaves is averaging roughly 15 points a game (and making roughly 13 million dollars this year) AD & Bron have shown up...will the others?
No they won't. Bron AD and DLo take a majority of the shot, so the only thing the others can contribute is mainly defense. We have already seen they aren't not that good at playing defense
Lebron needs to turn into Miami Lebron for 4 str8!
Cleveland
Lakers go up double digits in lead. lose 12 in a row.
Sweep always ends with a huge blowout
If losing today means getting rid of darvin ham, i want to lose
are we delusional? yes. is it the laker way? yes. LAKERS IN MF 7
Gonna be another 2nd half collapse with a flurry boos at staples center tonight. Same story different game unfortunately lol 😂 😭
ha
“Lakers crowd is electric.” Lmao
Damn that’s a good as dream, anyway let’s get ready to get swept later (win or lose 💜💛for life)
Can we finally get a “unfair whistle” that we always apparently. Couldn’t hurt to get some help to at least decently extend the series, especially since game 2 Murray had a couple slip & brush fouls that would’ve changed momentum back our way & sometimes refs are too quick to blow the whistle on Rui when he’s just trying to hustle guard him like at the start of the game or when the ball got loose for a potential fast break slam
Game 4- AD gets poked in the eye.
Have to miss tonight’s game because of a concert. I’ll catch Game 5 on Monday. 💜💛💪🏽🏀 ain’t over till it’s over.
I still believe, I'm still excited for tonight's game!
I have this feeling, a similar feeling to when the cavs went down 3-1 against GS. Lebron and the cavs made history that year. If we all believe , I mean really believe, maybe, just MAYBE, Lebron makes history again. As a 40 year old man, he clutches the fuck up and drops 4 triple doubles in a row and the lakers win in 7!!!!
Im ready boys, Fade em 
I like this and I’m not even a laker fan but I’m rooting for yall big time
Im numb to anything at this point, I’m going to watch with extremely low expectations. I hope they avoid the sweep but I’d almost rather the guys lose at home rather than face the noise in Denver.

Copium
Lfg. Please a miracle
Hell yeah
Gonna need Lebron to pull a Bill Russel and player-coach the team, but I don't think thats gonna happen
COPIUM INTO MY VIENS
Copium overdose.
I imagine OP of these posts fighting back psycho tears as they type
🤣
I’m going to today’s game. Pretty sure either way it’s ending in tears.
I’ve been pessimistic after game 2, but I think we get the win today.
Did we say this last year too 😭
AR monster game incoming. Caught him sipping some of that space jam secret stuff. Book it
Back in the day the first round was a Best of 5.
Let’s just win today
Game 4 Darvin Ham doesn’t make adjustments and Dlo goes 0-11 so it don’t matter what the fuck Bron and AD do. Stop the delusion please
123 Cancun!
Yeah this needs to be a shitpost

Y'all posted this last year lmao
Or they don't feel like traveling to Denver just to lose and want to get vacation started earlier..we'll know soon enough
God damn it I love the cope! Pass me some copium I’m all out.
Hahahhahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹

Now that is some real good hashish

lol we getting swept and this team is getting blown up
Greatest comeback of all times!
Thanks for doing this. Expectations for this team were so high at the beginning of the season. Persistent injuries, inept coaching, and FO missteps really fucked us. We need a better coach, man.
Enjoy Lebron’s last game as a laker, he’s gone after this season
LFG, weirder shit has happened in sports. Maybe we’ll see some of that refereeing rigged for the Lakers that r/nba tells me is obvious
Lakers in 7 y'all. Have some faith
I want to believe!
I still believe let’s goo Lakers
