Sure, but nicca having to do a lot of heavy lifting for one of the so called deepest teams in the league...
Told yall niccas PG13 could not be relied on as a legit #2 at this point there is no question Siakm is a better #2 longterm and maybe even this year already...Nurse is better than Uncle Tom too

Props to Mav fans especially those that believed in KP. Istill doubt he will stay healthy longterm but he looks really good since the all star break... Props.

Bump

Please, stop.
Clippers have a more talented roster, agreed...
But they are no playoff juggernaut. Only players with ANY Finals pedigree is Kawhi. Being deeper will really only matter if they suffer injuries...
I ing hate Rondo but he Dwight, LDN, Bron all have won huge playoff series
I see no scenario barring injury where Lakers or Clippers beat the other in 5 games that is just a dumb take. Clippers in 6/Lakers in 6 or 7 seem far more likely...

LOL Clippers playing home playoff games in a 50% plus, hostile arena is funny as . And Balmer wants to build in Inglewood where some of the strongest old school die hard Lakers dwell...
Clippers just don't get it..

How can a fanbase of a team with such a decorated championship history overreact so much to a meaningless regular season game? I've never seen the fans and media overreact to a single game more than this in my lifetime.

The reason is obvious, to be fair. They're enjoying it while they can, as they know they're going to get bodied in the playoffs.

stop bumping your own posts. its corny and stupid tbh. nobody cares

[ndbutch]

Every "The Clippers are winning it all anyway" post should be hi-lighted and automatically attached to any future post by the offenders. Especially one's made in from mid-January when it was apparent to anyone who wanted to see that they were a terrible defensive team with no rim protection. Despite the fearsome, and mostly deserved (Looking at you Pat Beverly-Westbrook had that one right at least), reputation of some perimeter defenders. Lou Williams is "Point A Minute" Mike Mcgee with cornrows. A sieve defensively that might work with the Lakers shot blockers. Montrezl plays hard. But that's offset by the fact everyone does in the playoffs. And they may be better defenders and have a higher basketball IQ.

Honestly, it was hard to get a good read on them before the pandemic as they have all this load management BS and you didn't see them all playing together for long stretches. Not sure how many could have predicted they would be toothless tigers but I did not see it coming. Looked great on paper.

[Laker_1995]

First game, but you can already tell a lot of the pieces on the Lakers don't fit. Only worthwhile roleplayers are Green and maybe Kuzma.

?????

[Laker_1995]

If the Lakers don't ring, it'll be the biggest choke since GS up 3-1, tbh.

Think you meant clippers

[Robz4000]

?????

It's still true.

you can tell how scared Lakerfan was of the Clippers by all these posts from them since last night

They lucked out ala the Spurs when the Duds upset the Mavs in ‘07

Nope. Had the Lakers winning it all since pre-season tbh.

you think Lebron and AD going out like these bums ? Cmon brotha aha

[Robz4000]

The has AD done in the postseason? Jokic has done more the past two postseasons than AD has done his entire career. Lebron isn't young anymore either. The Lakers are also garbage outside those two.

you serious? I’m sorry the San Antonio clippers are out but no need to act delusional

[Robz4000]

What part there is delusion? FWIW, that part about AD's career is his postseason career. Obviously AD has more regular season accolades.

Laker fan suddenly talking a lot just because their team is the favorite for the first time in like 10 years. Most of them lose logic by this point like that poster you're talking to. Only Killa, Lkrfan and sometimes Bynumite are the ones I take seriously that are still active on here.

, Killa is getting arrogant right now too. Also forgot about IronMexican and DeadlyDynasty though they stick to the NFL forum these days.

Killa earned this one lol. He stuck with his team and trolling by us for years. Forgot about those two. I wish my Venti Quattro would come back. lakaluva and 21 Blessings though, those guys were always frontrunning gots.

[Killakobe81]

We still got work to do all 3 other teams can cause us problems on either defense (Heat/Celts) or offense (Nuggs).
Hope we don't lose focus ...
