Zion’s injury ruined our season. He would have destroyed us in the last 3 minutes and we would be playing OKC

That was actually a very bad break for the Lakers imo. Our FO is very dumb they needed "luck" in order to win a championship. They made a bad decision by trying to beat the Pelicans but got unlucky that they actually won. Yes, Lakers were very unfortunate that Zion got hurt and Pelicans lost.

I think fans like you would absolutely deserve Curry or Fox going off on you Friday and suffer an even bigger humiliation than losing to the defending champs.
We can beat the Nuggets. |

Didn't Clippers beat us 11 times in a row before we won? Maybe Denver will drop a game after winning the first three.

Watch the Suns take out Denver and then we all would say what it could have been. The Lakers were good enough to beat every team except Denver. They would have won the championship if they didn't run into Denver.

Gabe Vincent is the x factor. If he can play like he did tonight on Murray we have a slim chance.
No more dinwiddie in the rotation pls. |

Agreed Murray has been the "thorn" against the Lakers. The Lakers don't have anyone to defend him..but perhaps Vincent will be up to the task.

| Our seasons just ended. If we had lost at least we would’ve had a glimmer of hope left until Friday. |

| We can let Jokic get his, but we need to shut down MPJ and hope Murray miss some shots |

I agree Dinwiddie is washed. Gabe is a clutch player and should be very fresh legs since he hasn’t played much this year |

So excited to watch DLo completely disappear against the Nuggets after scoring 21 tonight and hitting the 3-pointer that sealed the deal. |

I root for positioning to a certain extent. But I won't root for throwing games, and it's not even like... if you throw this game, you are automatically an 8th seed. LOL! You have to go play a do or die game. LOL! And we have fans moping around, whining about how we didn't choose this do or die path. LOL! It's hilarious.
Laker fans have changed man, or maybe these snowflake fans have always been around, and we just didn't have social media. |

Denver lost 2 championship pieces this off-season while the Lakers picked up 2 rotation players. Denver still has a better starting 5 but the Lakers have a chance to take a few games and make it a series.

If DLo doesn't show up against Denver again, I'm gonna be pissed. He's the X-factor in this series imo.
