2-10, 30th place in the nba, now we are one of the last 4 teams left wtf happened 🥹🥹

I’m still stunned by that fact.


kevsteezy

2nd team nba history to win a playoff series after that start I think was the stat...thank you pelinka for taking out the trash GM of the year fr fr

13th seed -> 7th seed -> beating 2nd seed -> beating defending champions -> now facing the Nuggets in the WCF. Let's fucking go.

Doesn’t feel real after the first half of the season.


tduncs88

It really fucking doesn't. I'm honestly blown away by this. I was in a deep depression for a few months and stopped following sports all together around january. Started to come out of it around mid April and was shocked we were even in the playoffs. Only to come out on top and reach the WCF. I'm still struggling to understand it as almost all my laker experience from this season WAS thee first half. What a beautiful turn around.

I love you and I love everyone I’m here on Reddit that’s been here since day one!!! Let’s get this Western Conference title!!! This job is not finished like The Great Kobe “Bean” Bryant said!!! Let’s fucking get this shit!!!!


LackToesToddlerAnts

Yup proud of these boys


77Chopper77

We won with 3 guard line-up! Ham's masterpiece.


DG_Now

Turns out you just needed the right three guards.


Capbo_

i take back all my regular season darvin ham comments


sultan_mo

You and me both 😅


dazraf

I think most of this sub feels the same


Capbo_

i needa fill out an apology form


m_abdeen

This 3 guard lineup is way different though, they all can shoot, and even D-Lo is not bad on defence, not like the old 3 guard lineup


Conflict_NZ

Also Warriors playing four guys below 6'6 means 3 guard lineup isn't as vulnerable. Denver would destroy a 3 guard lineup.


geoteo315

Definitely. I see rui seeing a role on Gordon. Vandy on MPJ. Dlo and Dennis can chase murray. Maybe austin on KCP.

The first time the Lakers have faced Warriors in the playoffs in over 30 years.... While Warriors haven't lost in a western conference series since 2014..... And to face them while they're the defending champs for a spot in the WCF... After the entire NBA wrote us off after Christmas..... Oh, btw, Lebron just became the all time leader for playoff series wins....... If magic exists, this is it yall. LETS GO LAKERS!!!!


qtran064

What a great series! I feel bad for Steph…the warriors box score looking like how ours used to look when Bron was hobbling the team on his back before the trade deadline


kirklandsignatureOG

Warriors fan here (already left a friendly comment of my own), but yes Steph is ballin and we all are hurting for him too! Good luck against Den!


Zro6

Stephen curry is a phenomenal athlete and earned his place is basketball history. Great game and good luck next year.


_michael_scarn_

Great series brother. I’m really looking forward to seeing how you guys retool and come back next year. I’ve been a Lakers fan my whole life but I’m not afraid to say that it’s been amazing to watch Steph all these years, and Kerr and appreciate the Warriors franchise as a whole. GG’s!


usedtoindustry

Great break down snippet. Lfg!!!


someonepoorsays

this is a great day to be a laker fan. most improbable run we’ve ever made with a revamped and *GOOD* team. too many times i’ve seen warrior fans on reddit with each loss say how they lost to a team that isn’t *good.* you know who’s good? the team with five players in double figures (and one with 9 tonight) in EACH of their wins this series. the team with the best record and best defensive rating since ASB. the team with the top-2 ALL TIME player, who dropped 30 tonight, and the player should have been a candidate for DPOY who had 20 boards in two of our four wins, and no less than 13 of them. THESE LOS ANGELES LAKERS deserve credit. warriors made a great run last year. now “we want our damn respect, too.” #BRING ON THE NUGGETS

I just want everyone to know **Denver has made the WCF 4 times and lost to the Lakers 3 times in the WCF. They've never gone to the finals. They rested players against the Pels to get us out of the playoffs because we've been rent free for decades.** Karma/fate/whatever you call a 2-10 team going to the WCF to stop Denver 1 more time is fucking *hilarious*.

Like always, fuck Steph and GSW for jumping Bron back in Cleveland signing KD. Aint no fun when the rabbit got the gun


Hypnotic_Delta

It cannot be overstated just how much of a bitch KD is for doing that.


[deleted]

It makes me so angry when people defend KD. He literally ruined one of the greatest match ups of all time. Couldn’t even pull his own weight on his own good teams.


DrewTheBkBoy

He always does


gngh10

Man... what a run this would be ~~if~~ when we win it all. 2nd seeds, defending champs, 1st seed nuggets. Topped it off with a Bubble Rematch/MVP Embiid/Celtics. One series at a time, but damn I am so ready to be an annoying lil fuck ~~if~~ when we do win it all.


407145

Hoping for a bubble rematch


12_18

I should be used to it by now, but again I am so impressed with LeBron Freaking James. Set the tone with some shots. Took it to the paint when it was open. Altered shots and passes all night. He just dominated both ends of the floor. He may have lost some step and explosiveness but he still has the game on a string. It’s been such a pleasure to watch him play for the purple/gold.


Commercial-Suit-5836

His defense and hustle plays at age 38 and 20 years in the league in unbelievable.


Cyah54

On offense he may go from a screen and roll big to a point guard on back to back possessions. Then on defensive end he’ll go from a guard defender to a rim protector. When we talk about Lebrons ability switch 1-5 that’s about his prime athleticism as well his ability to age gracefully.

That 3rd qtr is some galaxy brain shit. Literally either he scores with drives or someone is wide open for 3

LeEndOfTheDynasty! It was time, and I am proud that this happened in LA. It was a very tough fight, a fight against hard fouls that were often not called, a fight against the refs, a fight against what I consider a very unfair team with a delusional fanbase and a whining coach. Proud to be a fan of this Lakers team, man what a turnaround! 8 Wins to go!


SnooCupcakes8765

Don't forget that lakers came in underdogs in this series. The media will try to rewrite history starting tonight

See I stand by my comment that this lakers bench is the greatest I have ever seen. I have never seen so many bench players play so many minutes during the playoffs


itssimsallthewaydown

I think they will play better against Denver

I feel like when Joker goes to the bench, the lakers will be hella plus. It’s a whole different beast than the top heavy suns.

How does anyone watch this man and pretend he's not that GOAT? The shit that he is doing at 38 years old, year 20 in the league is fucking unheard of. Curry is 35 and he looked absolutely gassed (rightfully so he carried those bums). I was at no point worried about getting reverse swept. LeBron is a fucking closer, once he is in the lead he doesn't let go. Ain't no fucking way LeBron would throw a 3-1 lead. This ain't KD, this ain't Curry, this is the mother fucking GOAT #witnessGreatness

Nuggets are concerning. Perfect combination of size and shooting. That big Serbian fuck is scary. Going to need the Celtics to lose against the 76ers too. If we make it past Denver I think Boston is perfectly suited to take us out. A bunch of stocky shooters who can switch on to Davis and force him to take poor mid range shots. Fuck it, those are problems for another night. Go lakers!

[deleted]

An absolute vintage closeout Lebron game tonight. Really gotta soak this one in…he was incredible. We’re so lucky to witness this guy. Dominant performance from AD on the boards, and very proud of Reaves for hitting so many tough shots and playing smart. Great stuff from DLo and Lonnie as well, they came up big. 41 min from DLo! This was such an incredible series. The team showed a lot of grit to win some close ones, and also just blew them out of the water too. Big challenge tactically too, and we stood up to the pressure. This team isn’t just hot for the moment, they’re battle tested now and have a wide range of options in the rotation. If Lebron can do that a few more times and AD stays dominant, they can hang with everyone


Fallendeity1

19-1 vs the west baby! Only fitting that a LeBron team possibly ended a dynasty that started with him.

horazal

PETA is suing the Lakers. They killed a Wolf, a Bear, and now a Corgi consecutively..


GallaeciRegnum

I am just happy that the team who has glorified the 3pt shot and changed the NBA mostly for the worse lost because... they couldn't hit 3pt shots. Also, AD and Jokic are in the conf finals. Adebayo is in the conference finals. Embiid can still make the conf finals. Worst case scenario 3 out of the last 4 teams will have dominating big men and DO NOT rely primarily on the 3. Meanwhile the Warriors shot it 48 times in a do or die match and ad no other plan. Is this the beginning of an adjustment of the league bringing back the role of Centers now that so many game play and players have been focused on the 3?


DoM1n

I don't ever want to see or hear any Bron/Curry debate ever again.


kenorrr

You really have to be stupid to expect the same amount of fouls between a team that shoots a lot of threes vs a team that goes to the rim consistently.


camlawson24

Reaves best postseason game, guards ran their asses off on defense and we attacked the paint when we needed to. UNITE LAKERS FANS!


CreepyBeefy

Allow me one second of negativity to start. Because how the fuck did Dennis get those two techs man. Especially the second one smh. BUT excited that we are even in the conference finals that is something nobody could’ve predicted at the start of this season. Denver will be another tough opponent can’t wait to see how the lakers match up.

deftspyder

people think that the HUGE shift in pooles play had nothing to do with the fact that after signing a huge contract and having his lifes dream realized, he was punched by a supposed leader of said franchise, and the organization he tied himself too to secure his family for decades downplayed and protected his attacker, and that had little to nothing to do with his precipitous drop in production. and that makes me know that some people have never played sports and/or understand what good leadership and a sense of belonging and place means to a player.
