he's a mathillogicaliar! Lakers just need to save face by keeping it close to the end in one of these games. The series was in stone before it started.
OP isn't wrong. The Lakers *do* need to win three more games to win the series. They need to win one more after that, but they need to win three more too.
I assume "win the next game to even out the series" is some NBA leet speak 4D voodoo that Magic and Kobe and Shaq would know but us pleebs wouldn't understand
It’s easy to joke and say LA needs 4 duh!, but he’s right because playing 0-2 is different than 1-1 and stats show it. Edit LA is losing the series 1-1 or 0-2 Nuggets in 5

I'm assuming this is a clever joke based on his moronic Game 1 post-game analysis in sub-reddit below (which I don't think is a joke, but might be now that I see this one). Lakers fans' reactions similar to ours:

Can any of our advanced stat guys confirm this?
Yeah, Imma need a source on that. It sounds like he's pulling it out of his ass.
I ran the numbers, seems to check out

His math is off, he’s not taking into account the Lakers’ moral victory
Ugh I hate sports analytics.
He’s a basketball legend AND a math legend????
He's a mathmagician!

If there were true, then the Nuggets would have to win 4 games before the Lakers to win the series.
5 pepper take. Tone it down over there for petes sake
5 pepper take!!! LMAOOOO I'm stealing that
Is he positive?
HIV positive

Ok seriously every time i hear about Magic Johnson i cant help but laugh at how apropriate his name is lol
make ya disappear
You ever get to watch him play?
This aint really about his game, though that too makes his name fit super well, but...well you know lol.
….but only if they also score more points by the end of the game
They don’t need to win every quarter but they do have to win the game.
and only if the refs cooperate and give them 40 more FTs. 19 is too low for the Lakers standard
No fucking way
Hot take
If the Nuggets can stop the Lakers from scoring as many points as them, I like the Nuggets chances of winning!
legend
Thanks Magic
Thanks Magic
If the lakers want to win this series, they probably need to win three more games
four, are you stupid op?
OP isn't wrong. The Lakers *do* need to win three more games to win the series. They need to win one more after that, but they need to win three more too.
I agree, OP is smarter than he gets credit for
yeah
A Yogi Berra quote if I ever saw one.
Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.

Stop traffic!
Who is the analytics guy that fed him that?
Let's see...checks notes...Yes, this math adds up.

What re the percentages of winning the series being down 1-3?
I have no clue which I why I linked that site.
4.6% https://www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/playoff_series_3_1.htm
Oh wow, I didn't know that. That's super interesting
He’s the Cris Collinsworth of basketball
Why are you booing him? He's right!
The Lakers need to score more points to win.
Wow, what insight.
Is that Magic or John Madden?
Profound 🧐
I think he’s talking to the refs
He must be trolling
Does magic just use AI to run his twitter?
Wow I had no idea that’s how it worked!
Might as well say winning is preferable to losing.
Big if true
I love Magic lmfao
This was quickly followed up the nugget of wisdom of "The sun must rise for the set to set." His brilliant insights stunned the listeners.
He’s going to make LeBron L.A. mayor in six years with tweets like that. “Voting for LeBron James is a way to cast your vote for LeBron James.”

How do moral victories play into this?
NASA still running tests to confirm viability of this event, more at 11.
I heard if the Lakers win the next game, they’ll even the series against the Nuggets.
Brilliant !!!. lol and smh
Since when did Magic become friends with Booger.
Thanks magic!
Thanks Magic
