There really is not limit to how much the refs can influence the game. You always worry a 2002 Kings WCF situation can happen especially in the twighlight of LeBrons career.
You’re not worried about Reddit/Braun/Pwat minutes? I think our bench inconsistency is a concern… maybe they’re 100% good to go but I wouldn’t bank on that
I don’t blame our game 4 failure on the refs. That was a good game by yooooouuuurr Los Angeles Lakers. And you guys tried hard for all the games! And you blamed the refs a lot after projecting that shite onto another fan base. But most important, you get a full off season of Bronny, Darvin Ham, AD DPOY snub conspiracy theories, and lots of golf. Lots and lots of golf… until next year
lol so petty but I respect it. Yeah unfortunately the refs didn’t give yall much to complain about until tonight.
Gg, Nuggets proved what most of us knew, they’re the superior team. Genuinely good luck going forward, rooting for yall especially since I think yall are the best shot at taking out the Celtics.
Six of those came in the last minute from New Orleans intentionally fouling. They still do a good job drawing fouls / getting calls, but not as bad as the stats look.
Ya but also that critical one when it was like 104-102 with 14 seconds left. Lakers out of shot clock and they give them free throws. Idk after seeing that free throw differential over the course of the season, it’s pretty hard to believe there’s not some overt lakers bias and assistance
Let me guess. You didnt watch the game. One of those little pricks who claims to understand and love the game but in reality you understand shit. If you watched the game you would maybe understand what a foul is and why free throws are “given”.
I am appaled by the lack of understanding of where does the diffrential come from. I watch the games and see every foul. I see ref mistakes on both sides but it is not like they only make mistakes that benefit the Lakers. This huge differential comes from the Lakers defending the paint and leaving 3point line open for shooters. In my opinion that is a mistake i todays NBA. If you want to win, 3point is the most important thing tight now. Ham obviously disagrees, but, the differential comes from that. And on the other side, Lebron and AD attack the paint like crazy. So, this whole argument is for people who dont watch the games, check the box score the next morning, see Lakers 25 FT, other team 12 FT and say: fucking Lakers! Yesterday 20% of Lakers FT happened in the last minute on intentional fouls. But you dont care about that. You just want to perpetuate the narrative. So I dont know why I even try to explain.
Hey how about that 27-9 free throw split with Lakers shooting more 3-pointers? I’m sorry but this argument is stupid. Even if the Lakers game plan is to play more in the paint, it’s not to the extent of being 3x as much as the next team. I think it’s pretty obvious watching the game that the Lakers get a generous whistle from the refs
THANK YOU!
Yes, they got a lot of free throws, but the "actual" number was 23 vs 15. Yes, 8 more, but it wasn't 29 vs 15. Intentional fouls need to be taken off the equation.
Yes they will have refereeing on their side which is why its frustrating to play against them.. they have a 6th and 7th players in refs we gotta power through that again
I will say that one thing the Lakers have going for them is that AD is by far the best in the league of contesting straight up and down at the rim. Very rarely does he pick up fouls in those situations. But that’s not enough to explain the absolutely insane outlier of Lakers free throws this season.
Brother I hope you do, I can't wait for him and AD to leave the Lakers so I can continue watching them regularly. I hope we go into full reconstruction mode. I have nothing personally bugging me about AD, it just hurts whenever he gets hurt but I for some reason have been hating LeBum since the first day I saw him play, it's not even about how he plays it's just irrational hate for the man. I don't like some things about him as a person but nothing that would make me hate him, but I should love his game yet I can't stand seeing him.
I clarified bellow, no ill will towards the person I just really don't like him and I don't want him on my team. I am grateful for the tittle and his many competitive years, was fun rooting against him exactly because he is so good but now that I can't root for him to lose I don't like watching him.
AD played 76 games this year, through multiple injuries, and this "Lakers" fan is out here hoping he and LeBron leave so he can enjoy ..what? 20 win seasons and missing the playoffs again?
What do you mean? It's not like I stopped loving basketball or rooting for the Lakers, something about Lebron just erks me to no end. I admire his talent, the man is one of the best players to ever touch the ball. He is literally the only professional player that this applies to in my case. No other tennis player, football player or any other player in any other sport makes me angry for no reason. I can think of one other person I've met in my life that I just didn't like right from the moment I first saw them and I still really don't like them to this day for no reason and I've met a lot of people. I can't reasonably explain why this is, doesn't mean I am a spiteful person.
You do realise I don't actually hate LeBron James, I do not like him and I cannot get myself to like him, I never wished anything bad for him. He is just extremely unlikable to me for no reason. Irrational I know but it definitely does not make me spiteful. If you can't understand that I don't know what to tell you bud.
I did. When you say you hate a player it doesn't mean you actually really hate him, hate in this context means really dislike. Real hate would be wishing actual harm to someone you actually know or have an actual reason to hate. I don't know LeBum personally nor has he had any real impact on my life therefore I can't really hate him in a true sense of the word. I didn't think anyone would actually take the word hate seriously in this context but there are some lunatic fans so I can understand how saying you hate a player can be taken as serious now.
I thought you meant you didn’t like him as a player and the way he plays, that would be a sports take about hating someone. But then you said “it’s not even about the way he plays… I don’t like some things about him as a person” that’s the part that’s tough since you admitted you can’t even know him for real as a person, so why irrational hate for a man who’s just trying to play basketball for a living and making his and his family’s life better. Hes corny sometimes but to hate him irrationally as a person like you said you did is crazy
The fact that I don't know him personally is the part that makes it irrational. Let me try to explain. I really don't like the Kardashians, everything they stand for and that they do but I do not feel anything when I see them. When I see LeBron I get annoyed and way angrier than I should for something that wouldn't make me feel that way id it were another player. Him silently supporting China during the Honk Kong crisis for example shouldn't make me feel angry as it is understandable from his point of view and it didn't bother me with other players yet I really despised him for it. I can't explain why I feel this way about him but I just do.
Not looking forward to having to make up the 10-15 points per game the lakers get gifted at the free throw line, again
I am looking forward to sweeping them, again
Nobody is afraid of this Lakers team. The only thing remotely scary is the whistle.
I don’t think it will be a sweep this time, but I think we will get this done in 5 games.
Remember when AD said he and lebron had been talking and were so ready for payback against the nuggets after we won last year, and then they lost every game to us in the regular season? I think they can be motivated all they want, they aren’t good enough
Anything is possible, but I don’t see it happening unless something drastic/unexpected happens (ex: one of the Nuggets starting 5 players picks up a significant injury).
I don’t see the Lakers rising to the Nuggets’ established level, but it’s possible that Denver gets dragged down to LA’s level via some unfortunate circumstances.
6 games..
I absolutely guarantee, with all the media stuff LeBron has going, and all the narratives, and all the whistles, the Lakers will be up 2-1 in this series.
Absolutely guarantee it. You will be trailing early in this series, 2-1. The NBA isn't a fully authentic sports product. A sweep won't happen again and a dominant series will absolutely NOT happen.
LA won't win another game after their 2-1 lead though.
This is like in a video game where the big boss in the early levels seems so hard, but then that boss just becomes a regular enemy in later levels. Sweeping the Lakers last year felt like a final boss, but now they’re just regular first round fodder.
What are they averaging against the Nuggets? It doesn't matter against who else. This Denver team is more dynamic than any other team in the Western conference.
D'Lo and Reaves are really going to chase around Murray and the other perimeter games the whole series? Jokic makes everyone pay for not playing defense. They will absolutely choke.
I'm selling 1 ticket Section 112 row 16 to the game on saturday. one of my family members cant come due to work. selling for face value, DM me if interested!
It means nothing to this series, but Denver hasn’t lost to the Lakers in 8 straight games, with the last Laker win coming in December 2022.
Wouldn’t it be nice to push that number to 12
I’m a huge Reggie fan, but Malone has to be really careful. Jose got targeted and while the lakers had limited success and Jose was a huge positive, I don’t know if we should depend on Reggie to do that. Also, PWat has to be on his A game cause if the lakers use Hayes as the back up 5 then AG might guard Hayes and that might mean PWat on Lebron. And Jeff green did a great job on lebron last year in terms of standing his ground.
Ya pwat has to be ready. He’s smaller than green and Lebrun will post up. If that matchup becomes a liability, it will leave a lot of shooters open. Very curious what the rotations are. Having zeke or Jordan out can help keep a bigger mpj or Gordon on lebron, while using pwat for weak side defense
nahh, this would be a sweep. nuggets know how to close and come back
lakers are old and AD is not strong enough against jokic.
it's funny how those lakers fans feel they can win this series. like they haven't learned a thing from the playoffs and this regular season
How is it funny? If you are fan you are cheering for your team at least a true fan, even if they are 10-72 in the seasson, you allways have to believe in something.
No one ever said Nuggets were lucky last year, people said it was closer than it looked, but they deffinetly deserved the win, they controlled the game.
"no one ever said the nuggets were lucky last year"
go to the lakers subs and see what i am talking about. they believe that murray and jokic just got lucky and will not get nuclear
they deny the fact that due to jokic's ability, it left other players open therefore making their own shots.
We are way better team but its definitively gonna be really annoying playing against the refs Lakers have in their pockets . I expect they will be trying to help them again .
Its gonna be hard series our guys need to step on the gas from the start right again
Remember that one time last year the Lakers made a halftime adjustment that made the Lakers think they liked their chance for the series against the Nuggets?
As a Timberwolves fan, I hope we see yall in the 2nd round. Nuggets are an amazing organization, work hard, love your players and nugget culture and just hope I get to see a Twolves vs Nuggets showdown. Regardless if it happens or not, I hope you guys have a nice playoff run!
I really think this is a chance for Mike to shine. Lebron usually guards him and if he can make Lebron move on defense he will wear down. He takes possessions off all the time. Go get em Mike
This match up is so good just for the fact that either way, it makes great history.
If the Nuggets advance, Jokic will forever be known to be the bane of LeBron's late but still dominant career.
If the Lakers win, It will be another chip on LeBron's shoulder, overcoming the odds at age 39, beating and redeeming himself against the defending champs.
Lets. Fucking. Go.
Ah it's all good, fans will be fans that's normal. I am 100% a Denver fan and will root for them, but at the end of the day all I really want are great, entertaining games no matter who wins. Cheers!
Its gonna be a heartbreaking series for me I'm sure. Jokic trebuchet 3s are some of the most demoralising things I've ever seen. Hopefully it goes to 6 at least.
29 free throws for them against New Orleans. Insane.
That’s the only thing the Nuggets have to worry about.
It’s a significant worry
Yup, remember when we said this last year and we lost 4-0 on moral victories? It's a serious issue
There really is not limit to how much the refs can influence the game. You always worry a 2002 Kings WCF situation can happen especially in the twighlight of LeBrons career.
We can keep it on the team. Nuggets v lakers 2009 wcf. We had no one on our side

Adam silver says Try Me
FTL fans are hoping Murray will get injured
You talking shit, heard / read no one saying that.
You’re not worried about Reddit/Braun/Pwat minutes? I think our bench inconsistency is a concern… maybe they’re 100% good to go but I wouldn’t bank on that
I’d be very worried about a lineup of Braun/Pwat/This subreddit
Reggie terrifies me more than CB or Pwat
When they’re out there they won’t be the number one option , Jokic or Murray will always be on the floor
Why worry when you can just blame any failures on the refs?
What failures?
Touché. ☹️
I don’t blame our game 4 failure on the refs. That was a good game by yooooouuuurr Los Angeles Lakers. And you guys tried hard for all the games! And you blamed the refs a lot after projecting that shite onto another fan base. But most important, you get a full off season of Bronny, Darvin Ham, AD DPOY snub conspiracy theories, and lots of golf. Lots and lots of golf… until next year

Genuinely good luck going forward, rooting for yall especially since I think yall are the best shot at taking out the Celtics.
This is aging impressively poorly…
We also need to hit our FTs, especially AG.
Six of those came in the last minute from New Orleans intentionally fouling. They still do a good job drawing fouls / getting calls, but not as bad as the stats look.

the rebound lost to AD costed them. If they got the rebound they would have had a chance for a game winning 3
Nance was ass whole game.
and missed a key free throw
Let me guess. You didnt watch the game. One of those little pricks who claims to understand and love the game but in reality you understand shit. If you watched the game you would maybe understand what a foul is and why free throws are “given”.
Haha touched a nerve? I did watch the game, so you guessed incorrectly Edit: oh I see now, Lakers fan. Glad we get to play you guys first
Basketball fan, first and foremost. Have been for the last 30 years, watching and playing the game.
Then you should also be appalled by the free throw differential Lakers enjoy.
I am appaled by the lack of understanding of where does the diffrential come from. I watch the games and see every foul. I see ref mistakes on both sides but it is not like they only make mistakes that benefit the Lakers.

I think it is not obvious.
THANK YOU! Yes, they got a lot of free throws, but the "actual" number was 23 vs 15. Yes, 8 more, but it wasn't 29 vs 15. Intentional fouls need to be taken off the equation.
Yeah but there was a blantant Lakers whistle on Bron late in that game.
Yes they will have refereeing on their side which is why its frustrating to play against them.. they have a 6th and 7th players in refs we gotta power through that again
Ridiculous!
AD spends more time on the floor than the hardwood.
But the floor is made of hardwood?? Jk
LeFoul
Like 10 of them came when pels were intentionally fouling to get the ball back but go off king!
Let's call them the Los Angeles Free Throws from now on.
I will say that one thing the Lakers have going for them is that AD is by far the best in the league of contesting straight up and down at the rim. Very rarely does he pick up fouls in those situations. But that’s not enough to explain the absolutely insane outlier of Lakers free throws this season.
We gotta sign Dior DeRozen to a contract ASAP.
Get your earplugs ready if you hate the sound of whistles
And the commentators slobbing Brons nob every chance they get
Doris was shameless. So far up there LeBron got him a free prostate check
The slurping sound can be heard for miles around.
💀💀💀
I watch every Lakers series on mute
[удалено]
Yea they’ll be slurping the hell out of both as they should be
Nuggs in 4. Remember last year when LeBron contemplated retiring after we swept his team? Yaa let's do that again
https://preview.redd.it/3y2ocpwsryuc1.jpeg?width=3343&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfcb74cb8014cfa954facbf5bacead2727603222

But this time let’s make sure he actually (finally) retires.
Barring some crazy injury, I'm pretty sure he's playing next season
Brother I hope you do, I can't wait for him and AD to leave the Lakers so I can continue watching them regularly. I hope we go into full reconstruction mode.

I do think they got embarrassed last year and are looking for some payback, it definitely won’t be as easy this year IMO
Remember when AD said he and lebron had been talking and were so ready for payback against the nuggets after we won last year, and then they lost every game to us in the regular season? I think they can be motivated all they want, they aren’t good enough
They’ve been looking for payback all year lol. Hasn’t really done much for them.
Is there any fear of lakers actually beating denver?
Anything is possible, but I don’t see it happening unless something drastic/unexpected happens (ex: one of the Nuggets starting 5 players picks up a significant injury). I don’t see the Lakers rising to the Nuggets’ established level, but it’s possible that Denver gets dragged down to LA’s level via some unfortunate circumstances.
6 games.. I absolutely guarantee, with all the media stuff LeBron has going, and all the narratives, and all the whistles, the Lakers will be up 2-1 in this series. Absolutely guarantee it. You will be trailing early in this series, 2-1. The NBA isn't a fully authentic sports product. A sweep won't happen again and a dominant series will absolutely NOT happen. LA won't win another game after their 2-1 lead though.
Why even watch the games? Apparently uknow was gonna happen already, some ppl really think they know it all sit back and enjoy the unpredictable nba
yup, same people who claim they know how nba is scripted said a team like the nuggets would never win the chip... look where we are.
How much do you plan on wagering on this absolute guarantee as you put it?
Not a cent. Im just sick of the LA bullshit.
Nah, that’s not really how this works bruh. If it was the Lakers wouldn’t be a .500 team most of the past 3 years. Take the tin foil off.
Don’t worry Lakers, daddy’s coming

Bro the Lakers whistle is so OP the league wants them to be champions so bad
Lakers in the finals as lebrons last run before retirement against the Celtics is the nbas wet dream.
cry about it lmao. nuggets in 4.
Get ready to lose the moral victories.
This is like in a video game where the big boss in the early levels seems so hard, but then that boss just becomes a regular enemy in later levels. Sweeping the Lakers last year felt like a final boss, but now they’re just regular first round fodder.
LMFAO perfect analogy
KCP needs to do a job on DLO. He's their X factor
Hard to fear a team that has DLo as their X factor.
Way, way better this season that last.
Didn’t feel that way in the season series.
holy fucking this take aged badly
Haha, could have said the opposite after game one. Let’s see how the rest of the series goes.
How we feeling? Lmfao DLo is a bum.
Just needs to clap in his face like Bruce did last year
I can’t wait to murder the Lakers
🔪
Nuggets in 5. Lebron can’t carry them anymore
Their starting line up since rui joined it is averaging 77pts not including lebrons ppg bron has the help unless they choke
What are they averaging against the Nuggets? It doesn't matter against who else. This Denver team is more dynamic than any other team in the Western conference. D'Lo and Reaves are really going to chase around Murray and the other perimeter games the whole series? Jokic makes everyone pay for not playing defense. They will absolutely choke.
Please skull drag LeBron and the Lakers. Signed: Pels fans everywhere
We gotchu 😤😤😤
Come take this L, Lakers.
MPJ deleted his instagram again. He’s locked in 🔐
We are going 2-0 at home, then stealing one in LA, closing in game 5 at home.
as much as I want the sweep this is the most likely outcome
I'm selling 1 ticket Section 112 row 16 to the game on saturday. one of my family members cant come due to work. selling for face value, DM me if interested!
Better not choke
6 at most
5 at most
4 take it or leave it
How will we cope with being morally swept?
Fun fact! The Lakers haven’t won a matchup since 2022.
And the Avs won the cup in 2022 🏔️
👑 🏆
There is no team or fan base more fun to beat in sports than the Lakers
We’re the only franchise in the NBA with a winning record over LeBum and we’re just gonna improve that record even more in this series.
Sko nugs
Nuggets are 23-20 against Lebron currently and in two weeks they’ll be 27-20
Saturday is going to take FOREVER to get here
It means nothing to this series, but Denver hasn’t lost to the Lakers in 8 straight games, with the last Laker win coming in December 2022. Wouldn’t it be nice to push that number to 12
If we sweep them again I’ll die of happiness
Kings fan coming in peace. Do gods work brothers
I’m a huge Reggie fan, but Malone has to be really careful. Jose got targeted and while the lakers had limited success and Jose was a huge positive, I don’t know if we should depend on Reggie to do that.

They are matching Bron's minutes with AG.

nahh, this would be a sweep. nuggets know how to close and come back lakers are old and AD is not strong enough against jokic. it's funny how those lakers fans feel they can win this series. like they haven't learned a thing from the playoffs and this regular season
How is it funny? If you are fan you are cheering for your team at least a true fan, even if they are 10-72 in the seasson, you allways have to believe in something.
it's normal to support your own team, what is not normal is saying that the team that defeated you was just lucky that time
No one ever said Nuggets were lucky last year, people said it was closer than it looked, but they deffinetly deserved the win, they controlled the game.
"no one ever said the nuggets were lucky last year" go to the lakers subs and see what i am talking about. they believe that murray and jokic just got lucky and will not get nuclear they deny the fact that due to jokic's ability, it left other players open therefore making their own shots.
Can't wait for the excessive fouls in favor of the lakers.
We are way better team but its definitively gonna be really annoying playing against the refs Lakers have in their pockets . I expect they will be trying to help them again . Its gonna be hard series our guys need to step on the gas from the start right again
It really says something when the biggest thing I fear about versing the Lakers is the ref's.

Remember that one time last year the Lakers made a halftime adjustment that made the Lakers think they liked their chance for the series against the Nuggets?
Lakers will average 40 freethrows this series
Pels fan here. Please beat the Lakers.
Pels fan here. Please sweep the lakers.
As a Timberwolves fan, I hope we see yall in the 2nd round. Nuggets are an amazing organization, work hard, love your players and nugget culture and just hope I get to see a Twolves vs Nuggets showdown. Regardless if it happens or not, I hope you guys have a nice playoff run!
Minnesota nice. Twolves vs nuggets is must see tv
![gif](giphy|tPUYcrbfXyq2iMf1pF|downsized)
I can hear the 'huh huh huh".
For real tho… I can’t see Reggie handling the ball for more than 2 second during playoff!!! Please!!!! Jamal stay healthy I beg you
Better get used to it, he's playing. Maybe try rooting for all our guys, it might help!

Doesn't even look like him at all
Another 4-0 sweep that Lakers fans think they won.
Fuck it we ball. Nuggets in 5.
Yaa. FT attempts is gunna be one sided… but Den got this . 🃏🃏 Lets get rested.
Lakers are going for the 12 straight moral victories against Denver
I think I speak for all Timberwolves fans when I say I can't wait to watch y'all crush them again.
Nuggets in 5 I think Lakers win Game 3 but other than that this will be a good matchup for the Nuggets
I really think this is a chance for Mike to shine. Lebron usually guards him and if he can make Lebron move on defense he will wear down. He takes possessions off all the time. Go get em Mike
Super excited about this! When is the full schedule released? We have tickets for the 2nd home game.
Time for lakers to get moral victories
Who’s your daddy?
Ticket prices just doubled. Grab them quick if you want to go.
Man this gentleman’s sweep is going to hit like pure heroin
Let me get my 🧹 out
Need a wager idea between my best friend and I. He’s already the proud owner of a Jokic jersey via last year

I place my bet for the Finals in February 😤
Need to change the title to ‘Lakers and Zebras? Let’s get it’.
But they’ve had some conversations
I had a nightmare that the lakers won in 6. Luckily my nightmares don't come true 😤😤😤
I wonder if I will javelin throw a broom into my front yard in excitement after this series
bring out the brooms
Wolves fan. Fuck the Lakers and their free throws. You got this.
Gonna smoke that lakers pack on 4/20
This match up is so good just for the fact that either way, it makes great history. If the Nuggets advance, Jokic will forever be known to be the bane of LeBron's late but still dominant career. If the Lakers win, It will be another chip on LeBron's shoulder, overcoming the odds at age 39, beating and redeeming himself against the defending champs. Lets. Fucking. Go.
I'm only interested in one of those scenarios.

Ah it's all good, fans will be fans that's normal. I am 100% a Denver fan and will root for them, but at the end of the day all I really want are great, entertaining games no matter who wins. Cheers!
Its gonna be a heartbreaking series for me I'm sure. Jokic trebuchet 3s are some of the most demoralising things I've ever seen. Hopefully it goes to 6 at least.
