NBA 2024 Playoffs |OT| Brought To You By Porter House Stakes

Lakers with the 2nd mot competitive sweep ever, just behind de 2023 series. LeBron did it again, MJ could never.

 

[spyder_ur]

This is almost sad. LeBron's body language is horrible. He's checked out. We've seen this before.

 

[Ra]

It's time to get rid of AD and Lebron. Pure trash. Lakers have to rebuild

Click to shrink...

I would not resign LeBron to that insane contract. Let him go have his farewell tour in Cleveland. Cavs might even sign Bron Jr.

 

[Eye Konik]

No sense of urgency whatsoever from the Lakers. What am I watching? It all feels so lackadaisical, like they're just going through the motions like it's a regular season game.

That game 2 loss killed morale

Lakers aren't winning game 4. I'm calling a back to back sweeps.

Denver snatch their hearts out in game 2. Tonight, they are eating it so the world can see. Game 4, they will bury the carcass.

I actually don't like basketball that much

[Ashhong]

why do they refuse to get good distance shooters?

Vincent was supposed to be good DLo was over 41% for the season. Look at him now

 

[Brinbe]

nuggets stepping on that throat

 

[burgerdog]

Are they going to be the only team swept in the first round, I think the Pelis steal one.

 

[soulmatic]

Denver got like 3 players going up and blocking out for boards. Lakers playing with no urgency, should have been full court pressing at like the 6 min mark!!

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

can't believe the in-season tournament winner is getting swept.

 

[Friskykillface]

LeBron might retire if they don't get gold in Paris

 

[J-Wood]

Sorry freetacos, you're good peoples. Good game.

Do yall think Bron and AD need to have more conversations or what

 

[Serene]

so like... what do the Lakers do

probably fire Ham, but roster-wise what are their options

 

[Jarmel]

Dlo pulled a Klank

 

[RandomSeed]

With this loss, the Lakers have as many playoff wins as the Wizard, Spurs, and Pistons this season.

"Shit was all good just a week ago."

 

[Ashhong]

Why are they double teaming and defending at 92 feet with 59 seconds left but not minutes earlier? The fuck??

 

[Emwitus]

SHOULD HAVE DEFENDED LIKE THAT 10 MINUTES AGO FRACKERS


And a challenge? LOL ham the ultimate troll. Two obvious challenges we had in the first half and he just let them go.

In a vacuum, they have at least 4. Could be worse, could've traded for Heild at the deadline. 💀

Trade everyone not named LeBron and AD probably

There's no upside to this path. You're left with a terrible AD contract and literally nothing else.

 

[spam flakes]

Lmfao, Ham wants to use his challenge now.

 

[neemmss]

He calls a challenge finally lmfaoooooooo Fire Darvin Ham.

 

[Serene]

Trade everyone not named LeBron and AD probably

Click to shrink...

yeah but how much value do those guys have

like D'Lo has to be at an all-time low rn in that regard

 

[henhowc]

Haha challenge now

 

[WascallyWabbit]

lol lakers fans leaving in droves

 

[Smurf]

Just a reminder that a few years ago the Lakers had KCP/Kuzma/Caruso but decided to trade 2 of those plus a first round pick for Russell Westbrook and then paid THT instead of Caruso lol

This team with better roleplayers could actually compete for a title, but they threw away all their depht..

 

[soulmatic]

Ayo. Ham is trolling us.

 

[Berry Pie]

Ham vindicated

 

[spyder_ur]

Click to shrink...

I'm guessing AD will not submit this clip as he's whining about not winning DPOTY, which he shouldn't.

 

[Emwitus]

Where was that challenge in Denver asshole

 

[Dragun]

Damn, Lakers really went out sad.

US team of Bron, Curry, KD, & Booker gon have plenty of time to prepare for Paris.

 

[Jarmel]

I take back my earlier stance. Lakers should have lost to the Pelicans.

 

[J.T]

Well the expectation was of course not to get swept so still life. Gotta check to see if Tix are cheap.

 

[RandomSeed]

Ham fully redeemed

LeGM spoke and it was done

Ham thinking timeouts and challenge success carry over in NG+

Hart too - obviously a worthwhile trade but he was a throw in.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Nuggets stop toying with Lakers

There's a reason no NBA org has given me a second interview for a GM position.

But you've been in the Play In two years in a row, there's no upside to anything at this point.

Click to shrink...

In their effort to not look like cowards like the Clippers who tanked for a favorable matchup that one season, they won another sweep.

 

[Ashhong]

This is so stupid just finish it. No effort for 5 minutes and now they finally decide to try

 

[hermit]

lol why would they inbound it to AG for the free throws

 

[Friskykillface]

Gabe and D'SHOOK for Zach 🤪

Ham is absolutely a x99 elixirs and all-heals in storage and never uses them when he needs them kind of guy

Let's be honest, Kyrie was the "break glass in case of emergency" roster move, and if they had this year's version of him they'd be contenders. Not that upset that my Nets refused to bail them out of the Westbrook situation.
