Seriously, what's wrong with AD? If not for the bailout calls of the refs, he's been playing like a scrub on offense.

These refs are horrible.

Dame's last three was... something. COME ON MAN! No one takes that shot. Not even Curry.

Whiteside looking like Whiteside when he actually looked like a star who got paid for it.

This is crazy!! Both 8 seeds beating the 1 seed in G1?! Has that ever even happened before?

Thank Red Memphis didn't make it in. Maybe LAL and MIL will have to expend some effort in round one after all.

Wow

Both the Greek Deers & the balding Queens lose to the 8 seed on the same day!

Wow

Dame is incredible.

I can’t see Lebron dragging this Lakers team to the finals. He’s gonna wear down. Nobody can shoot.

Lol Lakers down by 7 with 16 sec left and TNT is showing Lebron triple double stats. Have some **** shame.

Happy Lakers lost.
BUT it makes me pissed even more knowing no team is invincible this year and we just lost a major piece in our title quest. **** our luck.

I agree but he played really good for tonight in spots

That’s how I feel....all year never thought we had much more than a tiny punchers chance but if it happened it involved JT playing like a superstar and Hayward excelling and playing close to or at Utah level as the 3rd/4th option and even then our chances were slim.

Now tho after seeing Hayward actually play at Utah level for the seeding games and look aggressive and JB playing very good with JT picking up where he left- I wanted to see us against the best at our best. Feels deflating

Lack of playmakers hurting these Lakers. Nothing functions outside of Lebron setting people up. AD has become Mark Blount or something. How can you have two superstars and barely score 90 when teams regularly score 120??

Lakers fans deserve it for thinking they'd be fine without AB and Rondo. The one thing that would have made a Lakers title ok for me was if both of those guys were starting by the end.

Yeah, Lebron has to do everything. With terrible spacing. They were 5 for 32 from 3.

I will be very disappointed if we win the title and it’s not against Lebron and the Lakers. Meant to be.
