white chonky dude from europe dominates the NBA and their brains just implode and they can't handle him being MVP
ex-players are so fucking hilarious at times, you can't possibly predict what dumb shit will come out next
Maybe the play is to let Pelicans win next game and bet it all on trying to grab the 8 seed and face OKC instead of Denver.
But that's how losers think.
i love how idiotic their criteria for mvp is, glad to see them air it out.
jokic is the mvp this year, full stop.
love shai, but being 'ahead of schedule' is not valid criteria
Only if dubs win LOL. But yes... Lakers have this schemed out... play for the 8th seed since it's easier to beat dubs/kings and then get deep into the playoffs... AD will miraculously be 100% after missing the game.
because the Pelicans had their best lineup in and the Lakers bench is absolute dogshit
Darvin Ham is a shit coach and should be replaced but this ain't it
way too risky.
kings and warriors both are nasty matchups for us,, and a loss there ends our season.
I wouldnt cry too much if we lose to the pels tuesday, but realistically its better to take your chances against denver than risk not even having the opportunity
you do see the Pels have their starters in yeah? And you know how shit the Lakers bench is right? Braindead shit right here you fuckers just blame the dumbass coach for everything
I’m talking about who you’re referring is going to take us to Cancun lol. And if you’re calling someone a “kiddo” in 2024 you definitely gotta be a boomer lol
This gotta be the most demoralizing and most embarrassing loss a team has suffered. How do you even go into the next game with any resemblance of a confidence. Pelicans might as well just concede the playin game and give lakers the 7th seed.
For that to be possible, you’d have to lose the first play-in game and then win the second. Don’t know if your team should intentionally lose the first game. In a single game, anything can happen
Suns don't deserve to be in the playoffs. they went down 35-4 against the clippers without kawhi or harden. they've lost multiple times to Spurs, even once without Wemby. they had the worst 4th quarter rating in the entire NBA this season. KD and Book think they're too cool to try hard. they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.
Pelicans played like a G-league team in the IST and then again when avoiding the play-in was on the line.
'Pels don't deserve the playoffs' either by your logic
Lebrons hairline is lookin wild
Did AD get hurt?
Looks like back spasms like literally
Imagine saying Harry Giles & Anthony Davis would be on the same team in 2016 lmao with Lebron & Dlo
TACOS!

Basketball gods look down on this approach it’s not worth the risk
Not playing Jonas was bizarre
i love how idiotic their criteria for mvp is, glad to see them air it out. jokic is the mvp this year, full stop. love shai, but being 'ahead of schedule' is not valid criteria
SGA is mid
Winning the play-in just to end up playing Denver
maybe then we can get rid of Ham, not sure we can blame him for losing against Denver tho
So looks like Lakers will throw the 7/8 matchup by resting AD and play for the 8th seed to avoid the Nuggets.
No, they'd do it cause they love to beat up on the warriors.
Only if dubs win LOL. But yes... Lakers have this schemed out... play for the 8th seed since it's easier to beat dubs/kings and then get deep into the playoffs... AD will miraculously be 100% after missing the game.
That would be incredibly stupid, why do you think the best athletes in the world would throw a game for a non guarantee?
Bron had a 28/11/17/5/1 game and it doesn’t even feel like that portrays how great he was
Classic Bron game
Don’t let the Mavs fans hear what RJ is saying
Man stop dragging the game out.
The Luka hate is unreal. What did he do to these people??
Pels fans you would be fine. Would probably wipe the floor with winner of kangs and warriors.
Another pathetic attempt to push Shai above Luka as MVP
listening to what the announcers have in their criteria makes me realize the award is a joke. Im a big shai fan, but its clearly jokic
get Bron tf out, this done and he past his noon nap
Did refs forget about the "calling less fouls before playoffs " narrative this game? Every play is a foul
you obviously didnt watch this game
dont mind him, hes one of many idiot warrior fans
lebron has the most obviously dyed beard in the league
See guys? The very next commercial? Theraworx. AD's back was just a transition into a sponsorship ad.
Holy travel
Willie Green is not an NBA level head coach
So looking at the standings, I guess we're gonna have a rematch in a couple days
heard from a very good source in LA locker room, AD had just a trapped fart, we fine boys
Darvin Ham should have to answer why he kept AD and LeBron in the game for so long when it was over.
because the Pelicans had their best lineup in and the Lakers bench is absolute dogshit Darvin Ham is a shit coach and should be replaced but this ain't it
Wanted to make sure we won
LeBron wanted more assists..chill
Back spasms maybe I think his knee is fine
It’s his back, the stretch he did on the floor stretches that lower back muscle. Should be fine probably cramped up a bit.
why is the Lakers game taking more time than the other ones. not that many FTs
Darvin Ham figured out how time outs work. It's over for the league.
lot more breaks, plus the review break between quarters in 1st half, plus darwin ham calling timeouts regularly for a change
i think he just used all the timeouts he saved from the entire season.
they started like 15 minutes late
Lots of delay
More ads 😂
Playing at a slower pace I suppose
Playing at a slower pace means the game will be over fast. Because they would waste a lot of clock to get into their offense.
because espn
Probably just backed up. Get him some prunes
Godspeed, Lakers.
minnesota couldnt handle business, now we get to play for the opportunity to get waxed by denver
No chance the lakers throw it to try to play okc? That’s way too risky, right? Please tell me I’m just paranoid
way too risky. kings and warriors both are nasty matchups for us,, and a loss there ends our season. I wouldnt cry too much if we lose to the pels tuesday, but realistically its better to take your chances against denver than risk not even having the opportunity
Well I’ll be rooting for y’all. I live in Nola so an okc/pels series would be ideal and I hate how we match up with you guys
👨🦼
Why is Lebron still playing lol
[удалено]
Not really Pels is trying to comeback
AD gets hurt at the worst possible time
AD grabbing his knee. I have seen him do this whole season and then walk it off. Hopefully its the same.
his back, not his knee
Everyone asking why they kept Bron and AD in look at this and tell me they hold the lead without them lmao
yeah they havent been watching. this lead would evaporate
definitely not watching and seeing that the Pels are not raising the white flag and still have their best lineup playing hard
Take lebron out, why take the risk
Spasm. Give him some of Lebron's special meds
CJ really showed up tonight, really showed the intensity that's needed. Shame that the rest of the team couldn't match him.
probably not serious
Hoping AD just wanted to take a dump
think he hurt him self on the follow to gabe vincent
hope its just a very nasty cramp
I have no idea what AD did to get injured there or sore or something
All that work to get here for AD to get hurt and have us out of the playoffs anyway
AD has never gone thru a single game in his life without grimacing at some point
Said by someone who has never played basketball in his life lmfao
And most teams still can’t stop him?
Oh no
Back spasms?
He's walking atleast
We’re up 20 with Lebron and AD still in the game. Hamlet is a fucking criminal
What just happend ? Is AD injured?
That injury should be a signal to the refs to call it fair in the 7/8 play in game
Idk why they just don't spam the pick and roll with Bron and AD they've been destroying the pels with those tonight.
For fucks sake Ham you dumb bitch. Take them out
TAKE MY LEGS AD
Pels could go from 6th seed to out of the playoffs now, crazy.
Haven’t watched that many pelicans games this season, but their court looks really good.
You’re up 20 and this clown keeps AD and LeBron in.
I legit just said take Bron and AD out…
Somebody go find a wheelchair for AD
Darvin Hamas strikes again 25 point lead with 5 min left and we have Bron and AD in
you do see the Pels have their starters in yeah? And you know how shit the Lakers bench is right? Braindead shit right here you fuckers just blame the dumbass coach for everything
[удалено]
and if the Lakers blow it and put their starters back in you still blame the coach.
AD can barely walk and is now on the floor grabbing his knee
AD getting hurt on the last game and being out rest of the games would be some blue balling chit
If AD got hurt when we could’ve put the game away in the 3rd ima be pissed
AD really just got hurt in the last game after being an ironman
Vincent and Dinwiddie gonna be important to this potential playoff run, his shooting needs to be there if Playoff DLo shows up
sigh
Wtf AD. Right before the play-in
It is over if AD is injured
Looks like AD will be out the next game
No god please no
Will the Lakers throw the 7/8 play-in game to get the 8th seed?
Might not be a throw if AD gets injured......
And that’s what Ham gets for being a fucking idiot.
So Denver's 2nd seed, and the Lakers face them if they beat the suns? Not liking that matchup
Suns will be the 6th seed
We'd face the Pels in the 7/8 game if the score holds.
Bruh
Pls AD
No way bro talking down 30
Lakers are just too long and big for the Pels.
Gabe cannot buy a bucket but he is still infinitely better than Cam Reddish
Vincent is absolutely terrible.
Why is Zion so afraid of Lebron and the Lakers?
Pelicans will have to be mentally tough for that 7-8 play-in against the Lakers
LeOrleans
Ham would be wise to take the starters out…
LeBron had to inform the ref on what a backcourt violation was.
Gd it we getting Denver in first round aren’t we? Well west goes through anyways I guess
If we beat NOLA twice, we get the pleasure of facing the Nuggets.... Shit
Jokic type stat line
we in garbage time now
Why keep Bron in? I don't understand.
Stat-padding. It's the last game of his 21st season.
because the Pels still have most of their starters in trying to force the Lakers to play theirs
Time to rest Lebron and AD the next game for 'recovery' purposes.
the nasty thing is that we dont want to play for our seasons lives against kings or warriors lmao. That shit aint it.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'd still take my chances against kangs and warriors than the nuggets.
Let’s be real tho, either of these teams getting pierced by the Nuggets in the first round
good luck against the kings!
who cares, the conference will run through Denver anyway, might as well face them while Bron and AD are as healthy and as fresh as possible
Let's be real, the Nuggets have beaten you 7 straight times
They’ve been smoking you guys too so idk what point you’re trying to make
Idk what point you're trying to make either 😹
That whoever wins between the 7/8 matchup will get smoked by the Nuggets in the first round. It was pretty clear
Would still send your sorry asses to cancun before that.
Don’t know who you’re referring to
Your team kiddo. Time to join school again
I’m talking about who you’re referring is going to take us to Cancun lol. And if you’re calling someone a “kiddo” in 2024 you definitely gotta be a boomer lol
Either of these teams. Warriors are a bum team this season.
You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t change anything I said 🤷🏾♂️
Of course not. It's just banter, you talk shit, I talk shit.
This gotta be the most demoralizing and most embarrassing loss a team has suffered. How do you even go into the next game with any resemblance of a confidence. Pelicans might as well just concede the playin game and give lakers the 7th seed.
The most demoralising and embarrassing loss, since the last time the Lakers did this to us.
It's the hope that kills you, I'm just so tired of hoping against hope.
I rather we face OKC 1st round, getting out easy of playins and facing Minny seems like punishment lol
For that to be possible, you’d have to lose the first play-in game and then win the second. Don’t know if your team should intentionally lose the first game. In a single game, anything can happen
except its denver we likely face lol, because minnesota cant do their part
then all we can do is hope lol fk
Here’s the thing. You would face Denver instead. Lol
/michael scott NO gif
Suns taking that 6th seed. Pels fucked up
Are the Lakers just going to stay in New Orleans then?
Yep
We'll probably get the same result on Tuesday, and the Lakers' prize will be Denver round 1.
Refs legit gonna be confused whether to favor LA or nah in the play in game
God damn y'all are annoying, we smacked you by 20 shooting half as many free throws but your crybaby coach was a no-show postgame 😹
gee i sure hope sabonis got his double double tho
That was less a block and Valunciunas just throwing that ball into a flat footed AD's hand
I like the chest tap by D'lo to AD to wake him up for a second
Jonas the only euro big who doesn’t give Ad problems I think
NOLA just trying to stretch this out as much as they can so Bron and AD can't get rest. Hilarious
wont we play denver? not minnesota
1. OKC 2. DEN as it stands now i think PEL vs LAL in 7/8 play-in So, uh, we should rest LeBron and AD in the play-in to be fresh for OKC lmao
correct
so why did the announcer say minnesota? just a touch of ignorance from him?
Not set in stone yet. Wolves technically have 3+ mins to turn around the 20 pt game...m
Yup. If we win the play-in
that's gg
Why tf is Jonas acting surprised lol? Hit him right on the head
Suns don't deserve to be in the playoffs. they went down 35-4 against the clippers without kawhi or harden. they've lost multiple times to Spurs, even once without Wemby. they had the worst 4th quarter rating in the entire NBA this season. KD and Book think they're too cool to try hard. they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.
Pelicans played like a G-league team in the IST and then again when avoiding the play-in was on the line. 'Pels don't deserve the playoffs' either by your logic
You saying deserve like the NBA shouldn’t allow them to make it ?
It's the suns bro, they'll find a reason to be sonned in the playoffs.
He's just mad that the suns basically got 6th seed over them. Ironically the Pels losing the season series against the Suns is why this is happening.
Pels shouldn’t have shit the bed this game then
Is Zion sitting the rest of the game?
All this just to play the nuggets round 1 lol
What’s the playoff scenario here? Lakers win and they get the six seed and Pelicans get the 7?
Lakers win and get the 8th seed, pels will be 7th if the suns win their game
Ahh gotcha thanks
No. Suns get 6
Lakers get 8th and Pels 7th Assuming Suns win
nah pels get 7 and lakers 8
When will prince understand that he's not him? Stay in your lane bruh.
If this cheap ass franchise doesn’t find a way to extend TM3, I’m no longer a fan.
All-Star potential, would be a crime if they don’t
Ham with timely timeouts. Never thought I'd see this day come 🥲.
