Laker fans leaving heads down, a beautiful sight.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Best player in the league and a 2nd option playing at a superstar level. Tough to beat. Congrats Nuggets fans on a finals appearance.

Lakers homer: we are not down by four games or five games or 13 games. We are only down by 3 games. We can come back and win in 7.

Lebron goat believer: If one person can break the 3-0 undefeated record. that's our goat king LeFlop.

Casual fans: You cannot expect a low seeded Lakers to beat this all time great Nuggets. That's not even fair. (They are the same people who picked Lakers to win before the series started.)

MJ hater: Jordan at 38 cannot even do half good as LeFlop. And the way LeFlop carried the team this far already proved that he is the goat.


Tbh Jordan wouldnt have any issues with posting murray or brown up and raining fadeaways all night

Funny how when LA's ass is struggling or down and they need a score they take the 2pt shot with urgency but when they get a lead or down a few they jack 3's.

Denver is just a better team than the Lakers top to bottom. Lakers played hard and put up a good fight but were outgunned. At least I know the Lakers didn't go out like the charmin soft east teams vs. Miami. Sometimes you just don't have the best squad on the court. Still a fun series and I hope the Lakers can take game 4/don't get ready for Cancun early.

Lebron should retire. His role players and Davis were the clear stars during this run
