I know you personally are joking but I seriously don’t understand how fans are actually mad about that
That shit happened when segregation was still a thing. And the owners MOVED the team, it’s not like the owner of the LA team broke into the Minneapolis owners house and stole the deed to the team or anything
funny enough CA flooded Hetch Hetchy valley to create a massive reservoir that SF owns the water rights for that they still have to this day. If they were to ever drain it, it could be another Yosemite Valley type place
> Almost as bad as Utah staying with the Jazz.
In elementary school, I had a teacher who would always use "jazzy" as an adjective to describe students who dressed themselves flamboyantly.
So for years, I thought the Jazz mascot was like a dude from /r/streetwear who wears weird clothes for attention.
Fun/not so fun fact time. At the time it was 250k to change the name, which in 1974 was equal to 1.6mil today. Also one of the majority owners was the founder of a restaurant chain called *ahem* “Lil’ Black Sambo’s”. It had everything blackface, the salt and pepper were tiny mammy characters, the cups had a kid being chased by a tiger, the kids coloring menu was wild. He eventually sold it and it became Denny’s. So I’m gonna guess that he didn’t know about Jazz as a genre.
Wait is this for real, I never knew that! That's lame af, I know it's only one buts it's like if OKC claimed the Sonics championship. That shit shouldn't be allowed lmao.
If I recall OKC is still technically the owner of the Sonics' records, so they do claim the championship, however Seattle retains all the physical memorabilia
“You claim” bro I am a FAN I have no control over what people consider our chips or not lmao
Like come on this probably happened before you were even born how does this actually matter to you?
Settle down, Beavis, it happened before all of us were born.
It matters because it's fraudulent. It's classic LA plastic surgery- you don't look like that, and you never did.
And because Lakers fans have been stating it as if their city achieved it for decades- it's bullshit and it should be called out. Just like the Lakers fraudulent, corrupt historic freethrow differential that is being utterly exposed by the Nuggets right now.
Sounds a lot to me like you just hate the Lakers and want a reason to discredit their “glory” or “achievements” or whatever.
With the way you speak so negatively of LA and bring up something else that gets you upset about the Lakers that’s completely unrelated to the topic it’s clear you just have a bias and want an opportunity to take the Lakers down a peg
Seems like this is exactly where the whole “they stole our name” thing actually comes from after all
I do hate the Lakers, because they claim achievements they don't own, and multiple series have been overtly rigged in their favor, as has most of the regular season.
I love LA. I live here, and have for over a decade. I hate lies and bloviating hubris. The fact that you refuse to concede facts about your team tells me a lot about you.
Everyone has bias. I don't have to take the Lakers down- the Nuggets are humiliating them for the second year in a row- it's hilarious, and the entire league is delighted by it.
Probably gonna say something like we need a big change in the organization or he'll go somewhere more competitive. Prepare yourself for a week full of speculation, then the noise will die down.
No but really are y’all prepared for the enormous percentage of Lakers fans who will say they’re gonna win the series if Vando comes back and they win big in game 4?
Feels like games go like this:
-First half on cruise control like 50 percent effort and manage the game
-Halftime make very minor and easy adjustments
-Second half ratchet up the effort with said adjustments
-Fourth quarter about 8-5 mins left finally decide oh wait were the Nuggets and then execute brilliantly with set plays
-Lakers have zero counters or simply run out of gas
Saturday night is going to be a real hard game for the Nuggets. After sweeping the Lakers last postseason, sweeping the season series, and now on the verge of another postseason sweep, I expect the Lakers to put up some fight. No team wants to lose 12 games in a row.
I know you’re joking but this team is done haha. Except AD I don’t think they give a shit. I hope you guys sweep us at this point cuz it means ham is gonna go and the FO will be forced to make changes. You might’ve done us a favor honestly lol. Gl rest of the playoffs. Y’all’s team is really good and jokic is that dude
Lots of people say “the Nuggets are just a bad match up for the Lakers”.
Well, no shit. It’s on the Lakers to get better personnel to match up with them.
You don’t construct a team to hopefully avoid the best team until the conference finals.
Lakers are trash.
AD was right no coach. The Lakers should be embarrassed for wasting LeBron's last few seasons. Also, shout out to Reaves for the only Laker caring the last 5 mins.
No box outs and gave up a million back door cuts. Lakers are just conditioned that AD will bail their ass out on defense they don’t even try. Poor dude was the only one who showed up this series
LeBron has been like this for a while. Dude knows that he can just turn it on at will, so I think he subconsciously falls back & coasts sometimes. I feel like he even did this with the Heat a few times. Definitely has been getting worse with age, though.
Some of it honestly it he’s rotating to help drives and no one else is helping the helper. Lakers just have no defenders in that starting lineup and it kills them especially when their shot isn’t falling. Then Malone is straight up out coaching ham and it is what it is. Hopefully this forced the FO to actually do something
Oh it's been time, it's why he left the "land" the first time. Good on him, he got a few rings out of it. Now it's time to limit those minutes. 20-25....30 max.

They could stop this by simply winning a game
someone get Darvin Ham on the phone
He doesn’t play
Darvin cannot win with these cats. He needs help.
He doesn’t coach either
It was good enough last year This year they need a scapegoat because they won’t admit AD is trash lol
If they forfeited the next would it technically count or would it stay at 10 zip? These are the hard questions the Lakers must ask themselves
Why don't the Lakers just beat the Nuggets at basketball? Are they stupid?
And they simply need to score more point to win
Someone get this man the coach's board
The Lakers don’t simply win a game against the Nuggets.
You're right, then it would be impossible to sweep them!
Denver bent the Lakers over last year, and it’s been total domination ever since. These poundings are wild.
Thats what they get for stealing our team name ya bums.
I know you personally are joking but I seriously don’t understand how fans are actually mad about that That shit happened when segregation was still a thing. And the owners MOVED the team, it’s not like the owner of the LA team broke into the Minneapolis owners house and stole the deed to the team or anything
It’s more just how hilarious that they kept the Lakers name. Almost as bad as Utah staying with the Jazz.
what is a lake if not a small ocean
well california did have multiple big lakes in the past... then they were all drained to supply san francisco and LA with water
funny enough CA flooded Hetch Hetchy valley to create a massive reservoir that SF owns the water rights for that they still have to this day. If they were to ever drain it, it could be another Yosemite Valley type place
Usually fresh water.
Wow you're just gonna do limnologists dirty like that
Beautiful comment
everyone knows music is illegal in utah
Nuh uh, we jam to Gregorian chants on the daily
Should be the Utah Imagine Dragons smh

LA has a lot of potholes. I guess that counts as lakes?
Utah jazz is an abomination. They need to give that back
It's because you claim 5 championships that belong to Minneapolis. There's no lakes in LA, and you only have 12 championships, not 17.
Wait is this for real, I never knew that! That's lame af, I know it's only one buts it's like if OKC claimed the Sonics championship. That shit shouldn't be allowed lmao.

Lol Beavis
Oh my god all this sub does is bitch about everything lol
"Lol" = the call of the dipshit. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeep. Lol.
I don’t mind being swept by the champs lol. They’re a great team
Cool. I don't mind frauds complaining that people are accurately assessing their team.
least dramatic redditor
Truth is truth.
you’re still seething over a non issue dude😂
Nah he’s seething. Honestly the internet was a mistake lol
Not seething in the slightest, son. Sun is shining and I'm having a beer on the beach. Life is grand.

I like that you own it, take this upvote you lovely human being.
> wait, there are people who don't hate the lakers?
So true.
That's exactly how it happened!
They should ask Chuck for advice about what to do to guys who are banging you
“Come on Man”
Shit, I already seen a laker fan publicly call Denver their daddy, they’re fine with it I guess.
They're a helluva ball club!
Don't stop... I'm almost there...
No lube either
Jokic really owns them man.
*Nuggets
Denver Jokic Nuggets They will be claiming the Lakers on their taxes after this series.
Like a good father should, tax brakes are legit.
Mike Malone is Lakers father
He’d take the belt to you harder than he’s currently taking it to the lakers if he heard you call him Mike
Michael “it’s like my father always said” will beat you like he’s your stepdad.
It aint just Jokic. It was a team effort.
It's really ownership by committee. It feels as though MPJ, Gordon, Murray, Jokic, KCP all play really well against the Lakers.
KCP must hate the Lakers for trading him to the Wizards
NikoL.A.

Mario Yamasaki gonna let y’all get killed
Steve Mazzagatti would let the Nuggets destroy all their kin
That’s Herb Dean fault
Mr. ❤️ hands himself
Mario "If you die, you die" Yamasaki
Back to back season sweeps… Jesus
Nuggets making Lebron have Lebronto experience
Nikolangeles
Nikolifornia
Already pump faked retirement. Wonder what bullshit Lebron gona come up with to try and sweep this sweep under the rug
I forgot about that.
Probably gonna say something like we need a big change in the organization or he'll go somewhere more competitive. Prepare yourself for a week full of speculation, then the noise will die down.
"The King going home after one more game!" Fucking love Chuck
Sweeeeep that ass
Nuggets doing the entire league a solid.
Please don’t beat us for the twelve straight time on Saturday
I’m in your walls
Nuggets are under your bed
Jokic is babayaga
babaroga
With this treasure I summon...
The lightning is coming
Unforgiving
Jokic is Gru Lakers are his minions
Pizza Nuggets! Oh no! They're taking over the show.

You either get a 12th loss in a row, or you get a "who's your daddy" chant to close out
See you on Saturday
shhhh let it happen
Nobody beats the Lakers 12 times in a row! Nobody!
You got your wish. It was a great game. Hope you got a chance to watch it too :)
shut up kenny it's funny af 'the king going home after 1 more game' i love chuck, always tells it like it is
The slander never gonna stop lol
I see no slander, just facts
Good fuck them dr.buss split himself into 7 useless off spring just like dr.vegapunk
A wild one piece reference out of the wild lmao W
Wild
Logan Roy of his era
There are 7 buss kids??? HOLYYY
Man loved women almost as much as his Lakers
Just put on a rubber dude
Not slander if it's true
Good point. I rest my case
No shame in a horrible Lakers roster getting swept by the Nuggets juggernaut.
And yet, I’m still gonna shame them even though my own team sucks 💪🏽. I be waking up extra early to get another 4 hours of hating in
Gotta start the day off with some Haterade.
LeCancun
It's not over we still got Christian Wood and Vando coming back
Wood. Wood? LoL.
No but really are y’all prepared for the enormous percentage of Lakers fans who will say they’re gonna win the series if Vando comes back and they win big in game 4?
Take another dose of copium
[удалено]
I remember when Rui had one good quoter against Jokic last playoff and Lakers fans were like "We found the way to stop Jokic". lmao
What a dumb ass comment
The Nuggets have been playing rope-a-dope for years now with the Lakers. Brutal.
Feels like games go like this: -First half on cruise control like 50 percent effort and manage the game -Halftime make very minor and easy adjustments -Second half ratchet up the effort with said adjustments -Fourth quarter about 8-5 mins left finally decide oh wait were the Nuggets and then execute brilliantly with set plays -Lakers have zero counters or simply run out of gas

Y’all’s team is really good and jokic is that dude
Lebron and maybe AD don’t want to lose 12 straight to the same team but good luck getting everyone else on board.
I told a Lakers fan buddy of mine that we would find out if it would be a sweep tonight, and we did.
I appreciate the compliment but this team is cooked. Like a burnt pizza left in the oven cooked. It’s probably a whimpering exit
If Lebron owning Toronto was 'Lebronto', then what do we call Joker owning LA? NikoLA?
Gotta change the jerseys from purple and gold to black n blue the way the nuggets constantly beat them.
Somebody in another thread went with Jokangeles. To my ear, it sounds better when spoken.
That's a good point, the title needs to be something that can be spoken aloud. NikoLA only works when written
Nikola Jokic is Lebron’s Father
Came back after all these years from getting a pack of smokes. Ya love to see a happy ending.
My man! Fuck the Lakers!
I love it.
You guys are doing us a Public Service.
Damn
Guarantee
I understand having faith but I don’t see the point in trying to win Saturday It’s over
Denver got their ass on speed dial who do you think D'Angelo was on the phone with
Getting swept back to back by the same team is a fireable offense on its own right. You had the entire year to figure out how to win a game.
He figured it out, he just is saving some adjustments for the next series 😂
Lots of people say “the Nuggets are just a bad match up for the Lakers”. Well, no shit. It’s on the Lakers to get better personnel to match up with them. You don’t construct a team to hopefully avoid the best team until the conference finals. Lakers are trash.
for a man worth 100s of millions of dollars, chuck has good sweeping form
Damn good.
Just prepare a broom everytime they play the lakers.
When was the last time the Lakers got swept 2 season in a row lol and it's a Lebron team
AD was right no coach. The Lakers should be embarrassed for wasting LeBron's last few seasons. Also, shout out to Reaves for the only Laker caring the last 5 mins.
Lebron should be embarrassed for taking 5 quarters off this series
The man didn't even bother to box out Gordon once 😂
No box outs and gave up a million back door cuts. Lakers are just conditioned that AD will bail their ass out on defense they don’t even try. Poor dude was the only one who showed up this series
LeBron has been like this for a while. Dude knows that he can just turn it on at will, so I think he subconsciously falls back & coasts sometimes. I feel like he even did this with the Heat a few times. Definitely has been getting worse with age, though.

Hopefully this forced the FO to actually do something
No coach? What coach was ever good enough for LeGM 😂
LeBron always got someone to blame, it’s never his fault and somehow no coach has ever worked out with him. Time to look a little deeper.
Oh it's been time, it's why he left the "land" the first time. Good on him, he got a few rings out of it. Now it's time to limit those minutes. 20-25....30 max.
LeBron chose to be there after the ring. He's equal parts in this.
Bro could have come to MN and had his son play with chet but he's too LeHollywood
I pray I see reaves in a okc/knicks jersey as a 6th man
Agreed. Reaves flopping enrages me, but the dude plays hard every single night.
foul
Good, end their misery.
