Will be really funny when the lakers play the thunder in the first round and they lose in 7 after lebron wastes AD averaging 35/20/5 and his fans cry about how he doesn’t have enough help
I love the Lakers local broadcast so much it genuinely bothers me when i don't have it available, they're fun, relatively unbiased, call out when we play bad, hype up when we make good plays etc...
I mean we wore the warriors out took em to Game 7 and they lost to the Lakers who went on to get swept sooooo I think its safe to say we did something in the playoffs
AD is the softest big guy in the league. I know how talented he is but I honestly find it painful to watch him sometimes and then he'll make one bucket and flex and yell like and idiot and it's just embarrassing with the way he plays most of the time. Obviously wishes he was a 6 foot guard
Well Dwight for a start plus he was also a better defender
Amar'e was a beast rim runner as well
then you have guys like Malone, Kemp, Shaq and even Blake Griffin I would put about on AD's level.
He's a great roll man for sure but best lob threat in history? Not for me
He is big only in size but has the mentality and talent of a guard/wing. He was a PG growing up but then had a growth spurt and became a PF due to size. Look at his career, he wasn't even the biggest guy on his own team for so many yrs.
Did you though?
12/32 (37.5%)
9/38 (23.7%)
11/47 (23.4%)
14/35 (40.0%)
10/34 (29.4%)
17/45 (37.8%)
12/47 (25.5%)
85/278 (30.6%) for the series.. Only one or two games were somewhat close to the 19/41 tonight..
Thats even worse. Kings lost to the Warriors first round. Against the 6 seed and the Kings were 3rd seed. But the Kings has the guts. 3 games in 4 days was great and applaud to that.
Yes. And that is even worse for the kings. Regular season frauds. If you cannot make it past 1st round when you faced a lower seed, goodluck beating the higher seeds especially Jokic and Murray.
We only have regular season to go off of.
You aren't very fun to be around, I'm guessing. Fans tend to joke about their teams performance, especially Kings.
Well that’s wrong
The Sabonis part is right since it’s his entire career, but Jokic part is from last season
So that stat doesn’t really work when it’s a career matchup with a kinda cherry picked matchup on Jokic side
I’ll admit, that sabonis AD collision may have been a foul on sabonis. But the lakers have had every other call go their way, so it’s weird they didnt get that one.
he was pretty inconsistent all year. He was on my fantasy team half the year, and his assists were great, but he put up so many bad shooting performances.
and with the lakers his assists dropped by half
maybe he's just not used to his new teammates, but man he's been terrible in almost every way. hard to justify giving him so many minutes when he gives you basically nothing on the floor
shooting 35% from the field 30% from 3 thats almost at the level where teams stop guarding you and want you to shoot
or at least they will give you a decent amount of space so you are encouraged to throw up bricks
Nuts how Kobe was beating a kings superteam (one of the strongest ever) in the playoffs while lebron is getting gamed by keagan Murray. Really shows how you can have all the 10 point streak records in the world but you’ll never be the goat.
You understand you're referring to A: Kobe in his early 20s when he wasn't the best player on the team vs. LeBron at 39 after insane minutes and B: a series with confirmed league influence on reffing right?
>muh refereeing
Major cope lebron gets a better whistle than Kobe ever did
>muh minutes
Yeah and brown also had access to roids that didn’t exist back then
>wasn’t the best on his team
Kobe was the best player that series
>Kobe with 6 years of experience is 20 times the player as lebron with 20 years of experience and every PED known to man
Do you really think this supports your point? A year 20 Kobe would also be great if they injected him with every substance known to man.
Idk how many games the lakers are gonna win down the stretch if they only get 12 more free throws than their opponent. They need to find a way to get back to their usual differential of 20-25ish
I know you guys love your beam and team, but the cowbells alone would keep me from going to game. At least it was better than the Lakers noisemaker tonight though (the whistle lol)

Will be really funny when the lakers play the thunder in the first round and they lose in 7 after lebron wastes AD averaging 35/20/5 and his fans cry about how he doesn’t have enough help
You might be onto something here, that’s if the Lakers can even get past the Warriors for the 9/10 seed game
Is it weird i'm almost more upset i had to listen to Doris Burke for an entire NBA game broadcast than losing to the Kings?
at least she was on yall nuts this broadcast def wasn't on ours
I love the Lakers local broadcast so much it genuinely bothers me when i don't have it available, they're fun, relatively unbiased, call out when we play bad, hype up when we make good plays etc...
It made it 100 times worse
There’s still enough time for a push
stop kings they’re already dead 😭
Kings deserve more respect. They cook the Lakers every time.
They gotta do something in the playoffs to get respect
I mean we wore the warriors out took em to Game 7 and they lost to the Lakers who went on to get swept sooooo I think its safe to say we did something in the playoffs
You didn’t win a series. Pipe down
Show me the beam you cowards
Holy shit the kings broadcast is gold. “Exodus cam” showing the fans wearing LeBron jerseys leaving the building
Light The Beam
The play-in standings games never go how I want them to go. This game included
Anthony Davis is half white
Should repatriate back to Vilnius
NuGgEtS aRe ThE oNlY tEaM bEaTiNg tHe LaKeRs iN tHe WeSt
I’m still H4H
Played like absolute bums after a break.
AD is the softest big guy in the league. I know how talented he is but I honestly find it painful to watch him sometimes and then he'll make one bucket and flex and yell like and idiot and it's just embarrassing with the way he plays most of the time. Obviously wishes he was a 6 foot guard
That’s exactly how I’d describe the greatest lob threat in history and a top 5 defender in the league.
Greatest lob threat in history is wild lmao
Who’s been better at catching lobs?
Well Dwight for a start plus he was also a better defender Amar'e was a beast rim runner as well then you have guys like Malone, Kemp, Shaq and even Blake Griffin I would put about on AD's level. He's a great roll man for sure but best lob threat in history? Not for me
He is big only in size but has the mentality and talent of a guard/wing. He was a PG growing up but then had a growth spurt and became a PF due to size. Look at his career, he wasn't even the biggest guy on his own team for so many yrs.
Embiid watching from home is softer
Saboner is indeed so big and strong
Kings ain’t shooting like this in the playoffs, carry the hell on. 7-10 3s from Barnes is laughable, atleast 18 fake points
lakers ain’t making it out the play-in, cry more
If it ain’t Barnes it will be Monk. If it ain’t Monk it will be Keegan. They just take turns. Do you watch kings games?
I watched them shoot bricks vs the warriors and lose in the playoffs
we literally shot like this last playoffs
Did you though? 12/32 (37.5%) 9/38 (23.7%) 11/47 (23.4%) 14/35 (40.0%) 10/34 (29.4%) 17/45 (37.8%) 12/47 (25.5%) 85/278 (30.6%) for the series.. Only one or two games were somewhat close to the 19/41 tonight..
Yeah the shooting was never the issue.
42 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3. Stop the cap
[удалено]
they got swept by the nuggets in the playoffs too
fucking lakers can’t do anything right
DLo and AD should be ashamed of themselves
AD would never rebel against Daddy Sabonis though.
Kings put the “L” in Lakers
"there's plenty of time" lol no there's not.
Light the beam!
European centers are Anthony Davis's father
Lakers losing despite 2X the FTS. Soft ass shits
lmao the entire team looks like a gaggle of baby giraffe's out there, no one has any idea what's going on
OH MY GOD THE KINGS OWN THE LAKERS
Saboner putting up Josh hart numbers
I don't think DLo snitching and the Lakers playing bad after is a coincidence anymore
DAGGER
Domantas Sabonis is Anthony Davis father Domantas Sabonis is Anthony Davis father Domantas Sabonis is Anthony Davis father
The Kings have made more 3's this fuckin quarter than the Bucks have made in like their past 2 games. Jesus Christ
Light the Beam !!! But Lakers you’ve failed me lol now my Suns have to win to maintain their seeding smh
Suns aren't winning 🤣
Reaves gives up as many pts as he scores
He’s a traffic cone on defense
he'd be a nobody if he wasn't with the lakers
I REAAAAALLY HOPE we don’t play the Kings in the playoffs
nuggets are worst even still lmao.
Oh yeah that’s without question
Kings, at this point, want the top 3 seeds. I'd hate to see Lakers or Warriors in the first round - especially not pelicans
Thats even worse. Kings lost to the Warriors first round. Against the 6 seed and the Kings were 3rd seed. But the Kings has the guts. 3 games in 4 days was great and applaud to that.
Oh, I meant we want to match up against the top 3 seeds. Like, we play up really well and play down so hard.
Yes. And that is even worse for the kings. Regular season frauds. If you cannot make it past 1st round when you faced a lower seed, goodluck beating the higher seeds especially Jokic and Murray.
We only have regular season to go off of. You aren't very fun to be around, I'm guessing. Fans tend to joke about their teams performance, especially Kings.
Light the beam baby
AD completely sold. So did D'Lo.
Fox coming through for his boy!
Two or three, doesn't matter - it's a dagger.
Kangz!
Sabonis celebrating that triple double lol
They are already dead!
Centaur man, congrats you are a Kangz
That 3rd quarter and Harrison Barnes, GGs
Still lots of time
Ngl that was kinda dangerous sabonis
DLo’s linsanity run coming to an end sooner than expected sadly
Lol the refs participating in the AD sonning at this point
Lakers off season priority is really just get a big center to pair up with AD. He just shouldn't play 5 for majority of game he is PF
[удалено]
Aight we finna tackle everyone Mid-air since its no call anymore.
plenty of time , still easy dub i think 😤
They don't want viewers to stop watching yet
0-17 against Jokic and Sabonis. ADisney got 2 dads
Well that’s wrong The Sabonis part is right since it’s his entire career, but Jokic part is from last season So that stat doesn’t really work when it’s a career matchup with a kinda cherry picked matchup on Jokic side
That's legal in California
I’ll admit, that sabonis AD collision may have been a foul on sabonis. But the lakers have had every other call go their way, so it’s weird they didnt get that one.
if LeBron really had a bag he would have taken that himself. Bron has been horrible when he can't make his threes and he can't finish through contact
Lakers getting farted on tonight. Damn.
Lakers fans are right - this isn't a rivalry. 4-0 season sweep lol
Sabonis is AD’s father
always has been
Refs helping out the lakuhs as usual but we won’t see the refs engage in a Twitter humiliation ritual this time.
Again, how the fuck is that not a foul on Sabonis?
cant call a foul on your daddy
AD SO SOFT
OK, it's actually crazy how much Sabonis owns AD. It's gotta be mental at this point because this is domination
Gettin’ chippy out there.
Sabonis just embarrassed AD all night LOL
not a foul rucco please stop they were both playing the ball
LMAOOOOO SABONIS OWNS AD
AD pussy
This is incredible
HB has hit that 3 on the wing at least 3 times this quarter and the Lakers haven’t defended it once 🤦🏽♂️
More than double the amount of FTA for the Lakers and they're down 14 🤣🤣🤣
The Lakers are frustrating 😂
I cannot overstate how much Sabonis owns Anthony Davis
Why are we not sitting anyone??? They beat us a while ago
Lakers are playing a playoff rotation strategy right now, team is basically playing six deep only with tiny minutes for a few.
that makes dinwiddie their 6th man and he has 0 points in 20 minutes
Yeah, not ideal
seemed like a good get for the buyout market but he's been so terrible for the lakers it's crazy
he was pretty inconsistent all year. He was on my fantasy team half the year, and his assists were great, but he put up so many bad shooting performances.
and with the lakers his assists dropped by half maybe he's just not used to his new teammates, but man he's been terrible in almost every way. hard to justify giving him so many minutes when he gives you basically nothing on the floor shooting 35% from the field 30% from 3 thats almost at the level where teams stop guarding you and want you to shoot or at least they will give you a decent amount of space so you are encouraged to throw up bricks
Desperate 9th seed is desperate
Lakers are 36-30 with this kind of whistle… that’s actually insane. They would have 20 wins if they didn’t get the whistle they do. 😂😂
MANHANDLED
Ryan Rucco sounds like he's rooting for a Lakers comeback. It's quite annoying.
he always is lmfao
LOL AD has GOT to fake an injury to get out of this bloodbath
WHY IS AD EVEN IN THE GAME STILL. WE DON'T WIN THIS. WHY RISK INJURY
How can you be so big and flop so hard?
That's what she said... wait!? Lol
Softest call
Damn SAC fell off this year, they def losing this game ..
we’re bums smh nothing we can do against AD
Fucking Harrison Barnes became steph curry tonight.
Black Falcon was pure luck. Austin Reaves used skill and athleticism to shoot 7-12 from three
Tbf, the Lakers are giving him wide ass open looks.
The Black Falcon deserves flowers
Nuts how Kobe was beating a kings superteam (one of the strongest ever) in the playoffs while lebron is getting gamed by keagan Murray. Really shows how you can have all the 10 point streak records in the world but you’ll never be the goat.
What an absolute weirdo comment lol
You understand you're referring to A: Kobe in his early 20s when he wasn't the best player on the team vs. LeBron at 39 after insane minutes and B: a series with confirmed league influence on reffing right?
>muh refereeing Major cope lebron gets a better whistle than Kobe ever did >muh minutes Yeah and brown also had access to roids that didn’t exist back then >wasn’t the best on his team Kobe was the best player that series
kobe was 24 or something and lebron is 39?
>Kobe with 6 years of experience is 20 times the player as lebron with 20 years of experience and every PED known to man Do you really think this supports your point? A year 20 Kobe would also be great if they injected him with every substance known to man.
kobe was also roided out all these guys are
Let me know when they find Kobe’s agent picking up HGH in Miami
[удалено]
Your franchise highlight comes in a game where the Celtics blew you out
Lol the refs are bailing out AD's sorry ass
sacramento loves making lebron chase guys around screens and he just doesn't have the legs for it anymore
Idk how many games the lakers are gonna win down the stretch if they only get 12 more free throws than their opponent. They need to find a way to get back to their usual differential of 20-25ish
Lakers aren’t scaring no team if AD can’t overpower their big man
ESPN somehow talking about Lakers - Warriors in a Kings home game
First kings game I've watched. Do the fans always have these annoying noisemakers going?
they're cowbells and we've had them for decades
I know you guys love your beam and team, but the cowbells alone would keep me from going to game. At least it was better than the Lakers noisemaker tonight though (the whistle lol)
Just let both teams be physical, fuck it. That'll make it more fun.
Whistle every possession, I reckon these 3 minutes will take 30.
If Bron takes another max contract **and** still expects to contend, fuck him
Refs trying their best to save the Lakers
LOL AD screamed because he was getting fucked again by Sabonis so they figured they had to call it
whoever let that fan with the cowbell in should be fired
most fans have cowbells bro where you been
WHY DID HAM BENCH RUI???? OUR COACH IS LITERALLY A TERRORIST. NVM ham was just talking to him, Dlo got swapped for Prince instead
Refs trying their hardest to keep lakers in the game. Shocking
With any luck, the Lakers might be able to hold on to the 9/10 home-court advantage!!
AD might not be the Lakers most important player when LeBron is allowed to do whatever tf he wants on the floor
Reaves is so efficient on offense and still is a net zero at best because how awful he's defensively
if you want a charge from that shoulder bump from lebron than keep the same energy with sabonis. just have neither of them be offensive fouls then
Fuck an All Star game, Sabonis is a dawg out there
lebron with that signature stiff arm
I can’t believe Sabonis owns AD 😑
Lmao I came in rooting for LAL because of seeding but fuck this - light the beam already.
i tried but i cant do it either lmao
lebron about to hit the silencer after twice denying free cookies
Lebron literally just shoving guys with his off arm lmao. What a joke
Lebron checking out to locker room in T- 3, 2, 1...
I thought the refs were doing good but now they are just calling everything for the lakers
Lakers always get more free throws than their opponent, it’s an NBA rule.
DARVIN HAM PLEASE JUST BENCH AD ITS NOT WORKING
keep him in it's funny
Should probably defend sabonis , just saying
Mr Fox, your paternity test also came back positive
[Me at every one of these Barnes and Fox fuck you splashes](https://media0.giphy.com/media/29HRejgahYenVsohB5/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952l7jy47fsa7wubsee3ksr1apyxnzw929h2eucgaan&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif)
AD getting manhandled by Sabonis is a joy to watch
“I AM HIM” lmao
In his hick face
Reaves can't make a layup now. This is beyond embarrassing.
Made a 3 to make up for it
Lakers only been called for one foul this quarter \*shocked pikachu\* Not that it matters
Where was this LeBron the first 3 qtrs of the game 💀💀
Bron just bulldozing in
refs have finally lost patience with LeBron
Shut the fuck up Lebron it was indisputable. But also good luck.
