Lakers fans are so washed. Cheering for Bronny bricking threes like a make a wish kid after being embarassed and dominated at home tonight in the playoffs.

Yeah this gonna be a close series due to Lakers offensive weapons.
I voted Wolves in 7.
Praying that Randle doesn't **** us every morning I wake up lol 6 turn overs, good playmaking, bad shot taking, but cooking inside still. Getting riled by Vando and **** home cooking refereeing.
It's all text book Randle game lol

I'm a fan of LBJ but lol
honestly by NBA standards he isn't. And that is an indictment of NBA ref bashing culture. The Association just allows player to ride refs all game.

It’s not his fault? He will never win a chip and it very clearly starts with him.

They were doubling and he kept finding the open man, he's unsolvable this game.
Well he better find a better way to prevent those switches from happening so easily. Because it's Wolves in 4 if it keeps happening. Finch babied JJ this game.

Huh? He's 8-19 for 22 points. Luka has 37.

Lakers are not trading Reeves when Lebron is 1 year from retiring. they will trade Rui/Dalton/Gabe and whatever picks they have before even thinking about trading Reeves

someone like Karl Anthony Towns could really thrive on this team
could probably do something like DiVincenzo + Julius Randle for him in the offseason

Dillingham. We're cooking him up my friend. To be unleashed next year quietly and after that...
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

The Lakers’ offense is too basic, and they lack the isolation firepower to get away with running such a simplistic system.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.
