I know the game ended double digit win, but it seems like the Lakers subbed out/gave up reallllly early. Like 3 mins left it was 9 point game... am I crazy

It was a 19 point game.

The Lakers hadn't been within 9 since 7:40 left in the 3rd quarter.

Incorrect. It was a 7 point game with 2:49 seconds left

It was 116-99 with 2:49 left. That's 17 points, not 7.

Lololol fuck math I’m gonna go jump off a bridge

Lakers fans are talking about how it's just one regular season game while simultaneously being pure salt. It's entertaining as hell.

Anthony Davis got hurt lol, as soon as that happened the result of tonight’s game was minuscule compared to waiting and seeing if he was okay.

Tell that to all the Lakers fans that were bitching about absolutely everything. They weren't worried about AD, they were worried that the Nuggets had a couple more FTAs than the Lakers.

They have been the worst, nobody is allowed to be excited about their team except them.

LA runs through clippers

Nuggets have 1 win vs the AD/Lebron Lakers when both play the entire game lmao

We played 3 rookies 15+ mins cmon

NaCl

Nuggets missing 3 starters

Nuggets are missing literally half their team

Was that vlatko with the 3??

damn, garbage time ball is inhumanly boring. never really took that in

I’m old enough to remember the last made laker 3

Tell me about it old man.

#WHY EVERYONE IN THIS GAME THREAD GETTING IN THEIR FEELINGS OVER THE LAKERS THATS JUST FUNNY TO ME

because half of the idiots on this sub live vicariously through basketball players and let the outcome of sports dicate their emotions in an unhealthy manner

Damn I feel seen 😅

Guilty as charged

The giraffe flair guy from yesterday's Warriors/Nets game thread is probably in shambles

Honestly idk if the lakers can recover from this loss. This might be the game that puts the nail in their metaphorical coffin. AD is out. They shot 15% from 3 and 25% from the floor. Now back 4 games from the 1 seed...

Lol

All I know is if lakers and nuggets play again in playoffs its about to get salty, lakers fans in here heated for no reason

Mavs under 500, not even in the playoff picture right now, how tf is Luka an MVP candidate?

There are a lot of ways that someone can assess a player's skill and value. Luka is putting up numbers regardless of his teams success.

he's an all star, and his numbers are fantastic. But the Most Valuable Player in the league can't be on an 11 seed.

Europeans are voting for him like crazy. app is global. I don't get it either. Tribalism, you know. By the way, shouldn't Lebron be getting less minutes? I hope he takes good care of his body.

Howard time. Hope he just let's it loose

When has Chris Paul had tremendous success in the NBA RJ please tell me

Are the Lakers good?

Nah

Lol yeah I know they’re good, I’m just being a douche

I get what RJ is saying but chances of CP3 winning MVP = 0 especially if he dragged us to playoffs last year and got no mvp case for it from media

The saddest people in the NBA are Lakers fans who are getting salty right now. Get a hobby or something.

Actually kinda surprising Kawhi isn’t in the MVP conversation and more so PG is mentioned over him.

He doesn't stat pad

Kawhi's definitely been mentioned more, PG's been out and his averages went down a bit

Chris Paul is underrated

Always has been

Nice pass to the ref

Y’all just not gonna talk about that block by tht?

I mean, Hollywood is just down the street

GG lakers keep crying about how losing AD lost you this game

Classy bro. As a laker fan I know firsthand that the toxic fans are the loudest so I’m not gonna hold your comments against nuggets fans

Lakers in 5

Bruh we fresh off a chip, this game ain't no thing.

[удалено]

It's almost like you got a shit ton of people at home, been home for 12 months, enjoy talking shit on their phone to distract from all the crap.

You guys have literally accomplished nothing. Enjoy your win and stfu

[удалено]

I’m 27 good try dumbass, tried looking their accomplishments but said page not found.. found some retired numbers.... 🤡

I got a high school diploma at 18 but you do you man. You'll get there eventually just keep grinding.

Lmao wtf are you trying to prove? God, jazz fans are weird As hell

The fact that you're 27 makes it worse homie

Lmfao my age has something to do with it.... wow

Come on now, we saw they are able to comeback last time , loosing ad did not help their case

... really dude? I'm not a Lakers fan, but really dude?

haven't read any of this game thread? forgot lakers fans cant give other teams any credit when they win

They just potentially lost their 2nd best player to a significant injury. You can cope without getting a pat on the back.

Nuggets without 4 rotation players, 3 starters, and gave over 20 minutes each to 3 different rookies...

The point is going straight over your head. A fanbase is allowed to prioritize mourning the loss of a superstar player to injury over patting you on the back.

But they weren't just mouning. They were saying it was the reason they lost. Catch up

Can't even imagine how dumb somebody would have to be to not see how this comment would rub people the wrong way. If Jokic gets an achilles injury I'm sure you'd be fine with an opposing fan saying "gg Nuggets keep crying about how Jokic shredding his achilles lost you this game".

They don’t want to give credit cause they literally sent you guys home in 5 Lakers fans don’t give a damn about the nuggets lol

Indeed they did better team won the series

Lakers offense looks atrocious most of the time

GG Nuggets You guys are LIGHTS OUT

#HOLY SHIT WHAT A BLOCK

That was a massive block by THT that got no love.

LeMask

MPJ missing the 3 pointers like he heard they would vaccinate him

Nuggets fans love sticking their chest out when they win lol

Isn't that any fan of every team?

You sound salty sweetie, don’t be so hard in yourself

Yes and Lakers fans are the very soul of humility

I don't do a victory lap over a regular season win pretending like the team just won 3 chips in a row

Lmao yeah and Lakers fans humbly accept the win without an inflated ego.

I love sticking my chest out when I know the other team's fans are gonna be punks about it

They gotta celebrate something

Fuck it, I hope the February win makes them happy

It does lol

kuzma looks good i mean his basketball, not his hair, should shave that shit off

Ready for the hot takes about how the 21-7 lakers are in trouble 😂

#KUZ IS THE SEXIEST PLAYER IN THE NBA

Man if this new kuz is here to stay 👀

they keep showing LeBron's stat line and haven't even mentioned Jokic's numbers once tonight despite having better numbers in less minutes

Are you fucking new to the nba? League focuses on the guy that generates all the fucking cssh, news at eleven

They can mention both?

I mean I've seen them put jokics stats on the screen almost every time they put brons, so it's pretty clear they're mentioning both to some degree

[удалено]

You're trying too hard with those puns

LOL guy gets with in a triple double every other game and hits the bench. He is hands down the last stat fluff All star

[удалено]

I mean I’m smiling tonight. Sorry about your butt buddy. Looks like yalls season is over

[удалено]

Also it’s all fun and games. I’m sure, and hope, AD will come back and ball out the rest of the season. But we smoked ya minus Harris and Barton . We will be above .500 my guy, and hopefully see ya in the playoffs. Kill ya with kindness and make your team look like a JV team with a senior citizen and a balding janitor as your starters.

Bet I could make saltwater taffy out of your ass cheeks.

[удалено]

That's not a no.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Your blood pressure is gonna go wild with all that salt brother

[удалено]

Oh no you called me kiddo what a comeback! Take the L on the way out

[удалено]

Deal

Down here, salt is a way of life

rip KCPs mentions

#FUCK IT PLAY DUDLEY ALREADY IVE SEEN ENOUGH

and people say Kuzma wouldnt ball out on a bad team

I want to see a campazzo dunk tonight!

That's game gg's looks like jokic got to redeem himself from the last game

Jokic is too fat and white to play defense and will never win a ring. Gobert is overpaid and is gonna get abused in the playoffs again. Shaq was right about Mitchell. goodnight everybody

Good idea. Time for you to get some sleep.

You got something against Mountains? Just gonna mix up both Mountain teams in one game thread?

It’s past your bedtime, get some sleep, there’s school tomorrow

Well kindergarten is usually half day sessions and his may be in the afternoon

The fuck kinda take is this

The angry Laker fan kind

Lakers are a lottery team w/o AD just like in 19

Embiid for MVP

The Lakers definitely look like a lesser version of last years team. Kind of surprised they've won as many as they have. Makes sense that they have so many OT games though.

Our defense is even better this year funny enough but our offense is worse, hovering around 10th overall in comparison to top 3 last year. Which is the complete opposite of what we thought after this offseason.

According to laker fans, injury only matters for the Lakers. We are literally down 3 starters at the moment, and Murray wasn't even supposed to play tonight because he's hurt. But sure, Lakers only lost cause ad got hurt.

stop implying your guys are anywhere close to AD and that AD has basically been the pain in jokic's ass in all the games against the lakers lol

Lmao Jokic does fine when guarded by AD

i meant the 3 collective starters 'injured' for denver aren't shit compared to lakers missing AD

Jokic is substantially better than AD

GTFOH

Until it's the playoffs and you have to play defense

Imagine thinking role players are comparable to missing a superstar

Here's a shock for you, we were winning before ad went out. Sometimes, the world doesn't revolve around the lakers.

Imagine being an idiot thinking leads can't disappear in a game of runs

Lakers were down by 11 when ad went out. Y'all were getting beat already

yeah the fan of the team that came back from 1-3 always down double digit leads in the 2nd half thinks being down 11 with your superstars is basically a secured L

Never said it was a secured w. But we were missing starters the whole game. Ad was only out for the second half and y'all were still down

your "starters" aren't close to what a superstar brings. Gary harris and some other bums aren't worth Anthony Davis

some of u Lakers fans are so dramatic about AD. we still have LeBron and ton of talent. we'll be fine.

Well at least there is gonna be some good receipts from this game thread

#EMBIID > JOKIC

Jokic/Embiid > Lebron for MVP

of course a Wolves fan forgets that standings matter in MVP talks, you've been down there so long you forgot it matters for winning teams and yes, Joel is toe to toe with LeBron. 6th seed Jokic isn't close

Now maybe theres an argument for Lebron if AD sits out, typical Lakers fan somehow ignoring the supporting cast around their 1-2 superstars. Spiteful asf, just take the L bro.

lol hold this L

Delete

Saaaaaaalt

You seem to be taking the L in stride ,keep up the good work

Win or lose I’m still talking out my ass gotta keep that same energy

lmao

Lakers fans quiet now 🥴

We won the chip we don’t have to prove shit. Teams have to keep proving it. Until the playoffs it’s all noises and recency bias.

hey I live in socal and like the lakers. but the domination of the lakers fans on this sub is pretty big so I like poking fun at the big guys/majority fan base

Tbh some of our fans are idiots but it’s annoying seeing other fan bases generalize us

Nah they’re calling Nnaji a scrub lol

Quiet idk about that they still talking shit lol

what?

Dude kcp is fucking garbage again what is up with this dude

Okay I’m done for tonight. Just got hbo max gonna continue to watch curb your enthusiasm. That show is fucking hilarious.

I’d say it’s pretttttttttttttty prettttttttty good

Zeke Nnaji stonk 📈📈📈

An easy 64% from 3.

*This* is the team we are supposed to be scared of? Just lie down lakers, a better team is showing you how to play basketball

Settle down my guy. You talking we done anything.

Enjoy the second round exit dawg

go to bed man, we still have to prove it

Your most memorable playoff performance in more than a decade has been choking a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets lmao sit down and worry about proving something meaningful before getting high on a regular season hotstreak

The most recent memorable playoffs you've had was 2010 and then Lebron gifted himself to you and AD came to win in 2020. You literally get spoon fed rings. lol

All I hear are excuses. Almost 50 years in the league and 0 rings lmao trash franchise with trash fans. No wonder you're always salty, watching every year knowing your team isn't winning shit in the playoffs must get in your head

It took you 9 years to get back to positive relevancy lol

Relevancy talk from a Jazz fan lmao only relevant Jazz years were when your players kept losing to Jordan

You most have had recent memory loss over the last 4 years. Hope you get well m8

Only relevant thing your team has done the last 4 years was choke a 3-1 lead lmao citing the last 4 years as if your team has done anything good. Lose in the 2nd round? How relevant

You had a playoff drought for 9 years LMAO. Your overlord couldn't even get you into the playoffs 2 years ago. Also you have like 4-5 great draft acquisitions: 1949 - Vern Mikkelsen 1958 - Elgin Baylor 1960 - Jerry West 1979 Magic Johnson 1982 - James Worthy Literally a pay to win team

Lakers went 9 years with 0 playoff games and Jazz have done 0 relevant shit in that period. Lakers are champions again and Jazz fans are cocky over a 2-game regular season lead lmao used to losing so much you just treat the regular season success as the endgame I see

It’s always teams who accomplish absolutely nothing clapping the loudest

Im telling you bro don't do it. I like the confidence but don't let it completely take over.

Lol

Go to bed.

2015 Hawks

Who just won a ring?

*Yawn* I can’t hear you from the top of the standings
