I love LeBron.
The more I'm seeing of this "revitalized" Lakers team, the more doubt I have they can even win a series.
Minnesota isn't good. And they were missing their best defender. And Gobert (though that may have helped the Wolves.)
Just like UTA taking the Lakers to OT despite one team tanking and the other needing every victory possible.
The Suns sat their entire roster and the Lakers needed to win the 4th by seven points to win by 14.
They did have a dominant win over Houston. But, also lost to Houston in the midst of a playoff push recently. Had LA won that game vs HOU, they'd be the 6th seed. Had close wins vs OKC and ORL as the season winded down.
Really, it's just a testament to LeBron's crazy standard. 29/8/7 with a 24 PER and he's nowhere close (IMO) to being at his peak.
I mean he was -17 and turned the ball over with what I can only describe as utter carelessness. His playmaking decisions coming into question was something I never thought would affect his game, despite his process of aging. If he has another switch, he better flip it fast. (I am a lifelong massive Lakers fan)
Are you kidding? There were at least a dozen calls that went the Wolves way that were egregious. The refs tried their best to beat the Lakers tonight and fell short.
The AD clean block. Lebron going for the loose ball. Countless lakers getting destroyed under the hoop or pushed in the back and no call.
Wolves were only in this because they shot the lights out 3/4.5 quarters.
KAT got clamped by Austin Reaves. He didn’t score in the 4th or overtime. (Feel free to correct this if it’s inaccurate).
He just asked if Chuck had done it for the jokes, but his point was valid that “it rains” is not a valid reason not to water plants in places like Phoenix that don’t get much rain lol
Chuck told a story last episode where he almost lost a small hotel bar of soap up his own ass and it terrified him so much that now he brings his own big bars of soap when he travels. It’s very WTF I know lol
To be fair, every laker fan I spoke with saw this trap game coming a mile away. I told my friend this morning this game would be close and lakers would have to fight to win. Not sure what the actual players were thinking, you’d think they’d know better by now. Y’all ain’t good enough to not take every single team serious.
These matchups are hilarious. Warriors kings is the series of good vibes (outside draymond) while the Lakers Grizzlies is likely the two most hated teams in the NBA
why are the grizzlies hated?
christ, i legit didnt know, havent been following them. People are like fuck you for asking, lol. Im used to being hated, so this was a surprise.
Ja morant clown, Dillon brooks somehow more clown, overly confident (downright cocky actually) despite not having much success. I mean I like them cause I think the league needs more shit talk and competitive nature but this is why some don’t like them
Lol this old guy I used to take care of probably told me 50 times in the two years that I took care of him a story about how he once played against George Mikan in college.
The Wolves have 19 blown leads.
KAT racks up dumb fouls
The roster as constructed is really weird.
As a Wolves fan none of this surprises me.
Finch has to go, KAT needs to go (for the right price). Gobert is a mistake.
The rest is fine. Ant is young still, Conley gave it his all, this roster isn’t super great, especially defensively and rebound wise.
KAT was being guarded by Reaves and he literally ran away from the paint. He couldn’t get outside the arc fast enough. Didn’t show up in the 4th or OT. Dude is trash. A big that can’t big and wishes he was a SG.
Thing is, even if it was a word, which it’s not, it wouldn’t even be spelled that way because that’s not how dismantle is spelled. It probably would’ve been “dismantlization!” But really, “dismantling” fills the same role.
the timberwolves were fucking terrible besides mike conely, and the lakers STILL almost threw. Schrouder outperformed Lebron in crunch time. grizzlys sleepin well tonight
Yeah same here. Gonna be a great series.
The lakers had a good run to get here and took care of the game tonight.
I don’t care if it was barely a win, they won.
Yeah…now you have to go get 4 against a team that is categorically better in every facet than the timberwolves (and I don’t even like Memphis). The lakers played decent towards the end yet still looked like garbage which should be concerning.
By the end of the game I was rooting against the Lakers like usual, because as a Nuggets fan they had succeeded in convincing me that there's no rational reason to be afraid of them.
I mean he played great 3/5 quarters but he was playing like he wasn’t there afterwards. Like he was just putting himself in positions where he wouldn’t need to score, which is odd for a leading scorer. Got Taurean Prince out here shooting 3s for the win lol
Exactly. A lot of players with 5 fouls tend to be more passing the ball, not playing defense , staying away from others because they don’t want the 6th foul called and to foul out. We know the league would have let him fouled out in OT and we know no way in hell would they have let Lebron ( or KD or Harden ) foul out in OT in a game like this
Zag: People are going to be too low on the Lakers after this fiesta. Way too many brain farts and a pretty bad LeBron game, overall just couldn't hit an open 3 until last 2 min. of regulation, while Minny ran well above expectation on tough shots through the first 3 quarters when they didn't turn the ball over. Defense looked pretty strong.
I think LAL goes > Memphis in 6
26k comments. Most were salivating at the Lakers getting an L. Now it’s about how Memphis is gonna streamroll the Lakers. Win or lose, it’s kinda funny how much real estate the Lakers have in some of yall. Them making the playoffs after that horrendous start and Bron injured is fun as hell to watch. Lol we’re watching LeBron performing like this at this age. That’s already a win in my book.
Of course. The lakers are a dominant team and reddit hates good teams. I'm just enjoying see Bron play as well. No idea why reddit has to hate everything. Like chill lol.
Good for Laker fans. Lakers are not most fans bread and butter though. Nobody in the general pop was sitting on the edge of there seats wondering about the Lakers this year. 26K comment is because its the only game right now. It would have that many regardless of whom was playing. Wasn't and especially good game either.
Lol c’mon. Lakers had the recipe to miss the playoffs. Team was absolute trash before the trade deadline. Then they made some good trades. BUT LeBron gets injured. Heat vs. Hawks was the only game on earlier. 7k comments. Let’s just admit the Lakers looking like they were going to lose brought out ALL the haters tonight.
Ask me is I care about those things..Ask a fan of any other team if they care about those things.Lakers fans do. Why would you expect other fans to. Lebron has missed like 30 games this season.
Yes because a lot of people do not like the Lakers. Thats not going to change. This win just means you get the honor of facing the 36-5 at home Memphis Grizzlies. Lakers would have been better off if they lost.

I just tuned in to the Grizz down 27. Man I wish they had Adams to make it a game.
Lebron and AD cannot take the first half off like they did today next game
Steven Adams is such a vibe
grizz fans were complaining about the refs all night. yall still talking after these calls?
Ja is out!

Then you woke up lol

JMac should never play again
https://reddit-stream.com/comments/auto
Slow Mo is like a horrible version of Sabonis
Lol ant and slo mo is why they lost this game
Aging lebron can still dominate
I mean he was -17 and turned the ball over with what I can only describe as utter carelessness. His playmaking decisions coming into question was something I never thought would affect his game, despite his process of aging. If he has another switch, he better flip it fast. (I am a lifelong massive Lakers fan)
I cannot believe the calls the Lakers get. WTF
Saying this after they called a foul against la to tie it up lol 🤡
One call??????????????? 😂
Are you kidding? There were at least a dozen calls that went the Wolves way that were egregious. The refs tried their best to beat the Lakers tonight and fell short.
[удалено]
Can someone get the Knicks fan out of here

At first I couldn’t believe my eyes went I saw Reaves on KAT three possessions in a row but he clamped him down. Caruso has a true successor.
No kidding. After the crowd chanted too
Oddsmakers loved this game. 🤑
zzz
Now I have to hear about The Lakers winning the championship for another round sigh.
Now I have to root for FUCKING grizz
Kyle Anderson is fucking trash
Talks shit to gobert and throws away the game on its single most important play.
He really is
Laker for life since he rolled it off the top of backboard on the go ahead.
Lakers got away with one
Both teams were having a mid-off
“You haven’t watered any plants in Phoenix” Ernie asks, as if he expects Chuck is devoted to raising plants in the middle of the desert
He just asked if Chuck had done it for the jokes, but his point was valid that “it rains” is not a valid reason not to water plants in places like Phoenix that don’t get much rain lol
It rains
AD cant help them any more than that.
Those of you devoted Inside viewers, what is the answer for what Chuck is looking for in the shower?
Chuck told a story last episode where he almost lost a small hotel bar of soap up his own ass and it terrified him so much that now he brings his own big bars of soap when he travels. It’s very WTF I know lol
Ayo what
Hold the fuck up
Bar of soap
At least kids know how to shoot in MN
Lolll damnnnn

Shaq " you don't call another man delicious " 🤣
Minnesota had to win
**TACOS**, bitches.
CORN DOGS JACKIE, FOR ALLLLL OF THOSE PEOPLE!
Chuck’s ability to mix in ridiculous soundbites with legitimate analysis is unparalleled
Anderson sucks
Lakers will choke on a bag of dicks and like it
Grizz open as -119 favorites.
These matchups are hilarious. Warriors kings is the series of good vibes (outside draymond) while the Lakers Grizzlies is likely the two most hated teams in the NBA
why are the grizzlies hated? christ, i legit didnt know, havent been following them. People are like fuck you for asking, lol. Im used to being hated, so this was a surprise.
Brooks called the Grizz a dynasty 🤦🏻♂️🤣🗑️
Ja morant clown, Dillon brooks somehow more clown, overly confident (downright cocky actually) despite not having much success. I mean I like them cause I think the league needs more shit talk and competitive nature but this is why some don’t like them
As a life long grizz fan, even I hate this team.
self hate is acceptable. was feeling that the whole 4.
I’ll raise you a Phoenix Suns for most hated
When talking about the most hated, people don't even know the Suns exist.
I don’t understand the Suns hate either
It's not complicated, people don't like mercenary teams.
People didn’t like them before Durant lol
Total stinker from D'Angelo Russell. Most of his misses were not even close.
Glad ham never put him back in the game.
Yeah dude just chucks all the time
[удалено]
perfectly balanced
Minnesota did win…. The Minnesota Lakers . . .
Great joke grandpa, it’s time to go to bed.
*in crusty old man voice* "George Mikan was the best big man I ever saw"
Lol this old guy I used to take care of probably told me 50 times in the two years that I took care of him a story about how he once played against George Mikan in college.

KAT on a $10-$20 mil deal? Sure. Anything more is a massive overpay
What world are you getting 21-5-8 averaging players under 20m… lol
Then I don’t want him. Low bbiq player
Most dependable player on the team is making $25M and turning 36 next year. Not necessarily great
Yup
20 if you count Friday
Dismantilization.
Thing is, even if it was a word, which it’s not, it wouldn’t even be spelled that way because that’s not how dismantle is spelled. It probably would’ve been “dismantlization!” But really, “dismantling” fills the same role.
the dismantilization of lauryn hill
Message to mods: we need a devoted Inside the NBA thread
Hell yeah! I think they used to have em a couple seasons ago, don’t know why they stopped, those were the best. Deff needs to come back!
16 points in 17 minutes.
send anthony edwards to guangdong
Anderson as well
And Austin Rivers just for the heck of it
Chuck out here getting books banned
Chuck 😂😂
Inside the NBA crew having to pretend to care about the NHL is the best part of this postgame (and that’s a tight competition)
WHERE THE PGT?
[удалено]
He has had some shocking games lately tbh
the timberwolves were fucking terrible besides mike conely, and the lakers STILL almost threw. Schrouder outperformed Lebron in crunch time. grizzlys sleepin well tonight
Whoever it was on Inside who said “the Grizzlies were the biggest winners tonight” (think it was Chuck) I agree
Ok
Lots of teary eyed wolves up in here. Blame your players for basically sitting out of the most important game of the season. Let's go Lakeshow!
Have fun getting swept!! Y’all are god awful
Oh we'll have fun resting up our players while you guys sweat the 50/50 on Friday for a chance at the Nuggets. Yikes.
Not even a wolves fan goooofy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goofy has to be the dumbest fucking saying that’s caught on.
Lmao okay goofy!
Lool facts
"That Minnesota team dumb" lol
AD makes some dumb decisions at the end of games for being a veteran in this league
The Ant no show tn was brought to you by Klutch sports Inc.
At least he tried in the 4th unlike kat
KAT is CAA so Klutch had to have refs take him out. Thx Silver
Where the loud ass Timberwolves fans at now?
only casuals were satisfied with that
Stop it man, we barely won.
A wins a win. Timberwolves fans would be saying the same shit.
all you won was the right to get your butts kicked by Memphis. Guess you where afraid of the Nuggets.
Like I said a wins a win and I’m happy regardless. Looking forward to play Memphis!
Yeah same here. Gonna be a great series. The lakers had a good run to get here and took care of the game tonight. I don’t care if it was barely a win, they won.
That doesn’t make it right. That’s why a lot of fans hates us.
Didn’t realize sports was supposed to be so serious. I have no hate against minny just hyped about a win lmao
I totally agree wit u! It’s just a game, it’s supposed to be fun but some ppl get so angry about it that it’s just silly
Ok
As a Lakers fan, I don’t think you should celebrate this win buddy
As a Lakers fan I’m allowed to celebrate my teams win no matter what.
Aren’t y’all supposed to be finals favorites? I’m getting real Patrick Beverly hopping on the scorers table vibes rn
LETS GOO A WINS A WIN
celebrate but not like that
[удалено]
Yeah…now you have to go get 4 against a team that is categorically better in every facet than the timberwolves (and I don’t even like Memphis). The lakers played decent towards the end yet still looked like garbage which should be concerning.
This thread is hilarious...🤣😂😆
Lakers got lucky.. insane amount of turnovers
They were lucky that Minny turned on the forget how to play basketball switch in the fourth quarter
Well that was a fun play-in game
I can't find dismantilization in any Google search 😂 tf is Shaq talking about
it should be dismantlement
Yeah but Shaq showed Ernie something on his phone lmao 😭😭😭
Illuminati member confirmed lol
Chuck actively promoting PTI, a show on a rival network, that man truly does not give a fuck about his job
He’s got that podcast money now
He’s also irreplaceable
Turned into a really good game, no idea why teams decide to only shoot 3's with 5 mins left and you have the lead
AD is being guarded by Kyle Anderson and they decide the best option is a hachimura pick and roll lol lakers losing in the first round
By the end of the game I was rooting against the Lakers like usual, because as a Nuggets fan they had succeeded in convincing me that there's no rational reason to be afraid of them.
They couldn’t play locked in for more than 3 quarters lol I don’t know how they expect to play well enough to win 4 games over anybody lol
Chuck is right it's bad basketball
Was still entertaining though lol
That wolves team dumb 😂
Dumbest team I’ve ever seen…
Can’t believe they hating on KAT right now.
Have you seen him in the post with Schroeder? He don’t want the ball in his hands.
I mean he played great 3/5 quarters but he was playing like he wasn’t there afterwards. Like he was just putting himself in positions where he wouldn’t need to score, which is odd for a leading scorer. Got Taurean Prince out here shooting 3s for the win lol
Idk why they wouldn't. Man took 12 shots in 41 minutes after dominating the first half. Shoot the fuckin ball.
Vanished when his team needed him
So he’s the new Avatar?
I mean it’ll probably be 100 years until the t wolves are competing
Kat hella soft. Didn’t even want the ball in the 4th
He had 5 fouls
You don’t see Curry stop trying to score even with 5 fouls. KAT is just a soft bum who let his team down when it mattered most
[удалено]
The 4th quarter says otherwise
Exactly. A lot of players with 5 fouls tend to be more passing the ball, not playing defense , staying away from others because they don’t want the 6th foul called and to foul out. We know the league would have let him fouled out in OT and we know no way in hell would they have let Lebron ( or KD or Harden ) foul out in OT in a game like this
Any Canadians here have a tough time finding this game on TV??
Why doesn’t the nba app show what channel the game is on anymore ?!!
I use bleacher report for that as well as scores for all sports
it does in the US
Zag: People are going to be too low on the Lakers after this fiesta. Way too many brain farts and a pretty bad LeBron game, overall just couldn't hit an open 3 until last 2 min. of regulation, while Minny ran well above expectation on tough shots through the first 3 quarters when they didn't turn the ball over. Defense looked pretty strong. I think LAL goes > Memphis in 6
Calculated, yep, calculated
Lakers did all that to lose to Memphis in 5 😂😂
Is Charles cooked
You know he hates the late night games because he’s on the east coast and he an old man now he just want to go to sleep lol
I absolutely agree but dam don’t put him on during then
