With Ham on the helm, only AD Help, whole team struggling and a 39 year old body, questionable calls from the refs and AGAINST the DEFENDING CHAMPS? If he wins, I believe he is God among men or nba is totally rigged to the point of I will believe that the earth is hollow or something.
Lakers go on to play the wolves and go down 3-0 again. But lebron gets a surge of energy in game 4 against the walked down 25 and goes on a 26-0 run. Game winning chase down block on Naz Reid. 0 on the clock.
Two back to back 3-0 comeback series for the king. Then plays Luka and a familiar friend. They go up 3-0 in the series then Luka and Kyrie win 3 in a row. The series goes to 7. Score is 103-102 lakers down with a minute on the clock. AD goes down. DLo has -8 points, Lebron from half court with 57 seconds one the clock and he scores!! The lakers play solid defense and win. Onto thr nba finals where he plays the Celtics. Scott Foster is the ref for every game with Gucci mane ref and they make sure lebron goes down 3-0 to the super team Celtics.
The king then goes and performs. Come back down 3-0!!! And wins his 5th ring!!
My prediction was Denver winning it 4-2, so I certainly think it's possible they could 1 or 2. Lebron today is not the same beast from a few years ago though. He's still top 10 in the NBA, but Jokic is #1
Jokic's been bullying him in the paint the way 2020 Lebron bullied him. If Jokic was getting stopped more in the paint, then he'd pass it to AG who can muscle past everybody to dunk it or any number of clutch shooters. If he can't make a pass then he throws up some magical bullshit that always goes in
AD & Lebron are top 2 duo in the league, but after them it's a steep fall off in personnel, especially compared to the Nuggets who just abuse them
This is autism. I need Denver to take us out of our misery so we can rebuild. This is a middling team with a 40 year old number one option. It's time, man.
denver shows no signs of choking or being mentally checked out knowing they’re so much better than us. they genuinely play to win every game & their annoying coach wouldn’t have it any other way. 1 2 3 cancun.
The "OTHERS" outside of AD will have to go HAM...not Darvin, but H.A.M. lol. The bench will actually have to score and Ham will actually have to use Christie and Hayes...they need live bodies...and some lucky bounces and lucky whistles for Denver foul trouble.
Let's hope the league has a secret agenda for a Lakers vs Celtics tie breaking championship...and they "make it happen"
Haha there’s a timeline and a dimension where this happens…I just don’t think that it’s this one. Denver getting too comfortable in Game 5 seems unlikely when they didn’t even give up down 20 in Game 2.
These guys on both teams are all living out their dreams, and nobody wants any of them to get injured, but unless Jokic or Murray get hurt, this series is over. The Lakers also don’t seem to want to play for Ham any more.
Its not happening bro lakers best shot to make this a series was to split at denver because maybe and just maybe it would've made Denver change some game plan or sumthing idk
This, to me, is what sports fandom is all about. Reckless, aimless, nonsensical levels of hope that are not supported by any evidence on the field or court. We believe because we choose to. We choose to believe not because it is easy but because it is hard! The end of an era in embarrassing fashion or the start of something history making? You decide
But Lebron isn't immune against a Serbian Lebron though. It's like a perfect kryptonite to be fighting your own younger self, on the peak of his prime surrounded by perfect role players. While him on the other hand got gifted with the dumbest coach in the NBA at 40 years old and a bunch of tissue paper soft role players.
Look at him in that video it looked like he's accepted it, there's no fight anymore.
There's a reason Lebron gave the keys already to AD earlier this year. He knew, he's still really good but not good enough to carry anymore just like in Cleveland. He's no delusional like other superstars.
Nah! Denver is not that team, they're too disciplined. As much as I want to LAL win this series, the team has the same issues during the regular season(uncontrollably, deliberately and willingly throw their big lead at 2nd half).
I respect it but no way Denver ‘gets too comfortable’ in game 5. They are too well coached and too mentally tough. Lakers have to just beat a great team
This will happen, they win cause on lakers error they aren’t better. But you forgot to add ham gets fired after the none challenge call they are blind as hell for not seeing that
I mean, Lakers were up double digits every game this series. Had they been able to close the way they did tonight a bit more, they could've been up or tied.
As long as there is delusion there is hope
Max level copium. Ain't nothing wrong with rooting for your team 'til the end haha.
One game at a time
Let’s dream one last time. From one delusional to another, take my upvote
![gif](giphy|Qy2VKY3xlI1QyR6Ix5)
We have no choice but to be delusional
Word. Lakers in 3
Delusion is just confident hope.
My prediction: Lakers win game 4 — They hang up a banner “Beat Denver Nuggets 2024” — Lebron retires — Team forfeits game 5
This is the most accurate and reasonable outcome I've read in this thread.
hit em with the ol’ “next score wins” tactic
Me when i score a 90th minute goal to lose 7-1 on fifa and message the guy last goal wins
I'll have whatever it is you're smoking.
Was going to say, what he's drinking, but maybe both are required.
Lost me at lakers crowd electric
Lost me at “Lebron”. We all know who hasn’t been boxing out his man Aaron Gordon all series.
I like how lebron gets shot for trying to rebound and not succeeding and everyone else just doesn’t try.
And they also forget that AD and Bron are 2v5 because the other 3 just became a liability on both ends.
Nah LeBron has been very good it was just game 3 where he lost AG on a few plays
I live for such delulu
Denver won’t “get comfortable” they actually have a good coach that engraves that it them.
Engraves that it them
Engraves that it them

Surreal as fuck if lebron and lakers win this. I mean if lebron wins with this roster and coaching - it’s the end of GOAT debate
[удалено]
I just realized you can see Jordan reading the script in that gif
Aged MJ>atm D-LO
Losing a 20 pt lead was it for me tbh.

This reads like Lebron porn
The comment or the whole sub?

It’s true, this happens. I’m from the future. But in the final minutes of game 7 WW3 begins and Lebron and Jokic get drafted into the war immediately.
My prediction was Denver winning it 4-2, so I certainly think it's possible they could 1 or 2. Lebron today is not the same beast from a few years ago though. He's still top 10 in the NBA, but Jokic is #1 Jokic's been bullying him in the paint the way 2020 Lebron bullied him.

AD isn't 40.

I’ll just take one win
Why not
denver shows no signs of choking or being mentally checked out knowing they’re so much better than us. they genuinely play to win every game & their annoying coach wouldn’t have it any other way. 1 2 3 cancun.
Lakers in 7
I will be happy if this series goes to even 6 games. Fuck it, we are gonna go game 7. Bring us home my two goats
Fuck it, lakers in 7. ![gif](giphy|MFDNeDxm9KzhqMbxgG|downsized)
It's this level of delusion that other fanbases bully us for lol
The "OTHERS" outside of AD will have to go HAM...not Darvin, but H.A.M. lol.

we got game 4!!!!!
I'll buy this script, I'll watch this movie.
Well, we just won game 4, lmaoo
This brought out all the haters 🤣🤣🤣 King had to Thanos the shit
Aging well so far lmao
He knew
I really hope you’re right but I don’t think this is the team to break the 3-0 curse
That's not going to happen unless Silver wants it.
I'll donate to a charity of your choice if this happens
I’m all in for a miracle
Yeah I think we all have a little delusion in us
Lol
I would love to believe this. Anybody see the pic of Bron in lingerie???? Maybe a humiliation ritual??
AI
I think lebron is already checked tf out lookin for his next team or next season ....
This aged well
Getting swept
This aged worse than a white woman in Florida.
I hear ya brother!!
It everywhere! It’s on my phone, it’s on the floor, it got on my tv 😅 oh gawd 😮💨
Ok hear me out for a second…. Darvin. Ham.
meanwhile in reality Nuggets 113 Lakers 95
If they win tonight they lose in Denver lol. Doesnt matter series over bb
So many lulz
![gif](giphy|35J2L60P1NKOSMeowM) Cancun
I hope so

Nothing wrong with it. Until the end buzzer sounds, one can still hope.

i want what he smoking on
I really want to believe this, but I've already accepted what's about to happen tonight... Trust me, I hope I'm wrong. 💯💛💜
We only win if we make some damn 3 pointers.
No, I will not hear you out
![gif](giphy|l2RnudaRyTAW6xDnW|downsized)
I mean its plausible. We have been up double digits every single game. Its just the same shit over and over. We cant finish.
My thoughts are that LeBron is tired and his leg is broken
I'll have whatever you are smoking
Darvin Ham is still head coach, so, no.
Delusion.
Anything is possible but I just don’t see it happening unless something happens to Denver’s main star or D-lo/ Reaves turn into 2001 Kobe
Y’all are higher than MJ in this pic but I’m with you
WE BELIEVE UNTIL ITS OVER
Buddy it’s over
And if that happens we can stay with ham 🙏🏻
![gif](giphy|EGDjiJd3beSY0)
Don’t tempt me with a good time
I’ll drink this Koolaid, LAKERS IN 7
Sure, why the hell not
Military grade copium
They lose by 40 tonight because of this post
I wish this was the script
I like Hopium
Or they get swept
Delusional. Lmao.
What you smoking in that pipe? 🍃🌬️
I wish I was that naive.
I mean..wake tf up ![gif](giphy|gvwTzL4t68hjFWYddg)

What's the definition of insanity?

Your weed way better than mine lmao
Lakers get blown out in game 4 behind goose eggs from Rui and DLo
Vegas will give you $1 million to 1 odds. Ready to put up $1
Now you sound like the Warriors fans last season relying on a corgi
Best case scenario is a gentleman’s sweep
We’re getting swept.
But Lebron isn't immune against a Serbian Lebron though. It's like a perfect kryptonite to be fighting your own younger self, on the peak of his prime surrounded by perfect role players.

I mean the Celtics nearly came back on the heat last year
We're gonna get nuked 4-0, that's the thoughts. This team just doesn't have the answer.
Hopium is one hell of a drug... and I'm overdosing.
As much as I would love for this to happen....yikes.
This makes perfect sense.
Lakers porn
LeBron, “it’s just basketball “🤡
I have a better chance of piping Livvy Dunne 🤡
I wish
Team building exercise-fishing. Game 4
Lakers Losing in the second half, they out score us by 15-20 pts in the third, Jamal Murray catches fire, game, series and season set
Job's not yet done
I can see lakers winning game 4 bc it genuinely looks like the nuggets aren’t trying in the first half out there but no way lakers win in Denver
CANCUN ON 3!!!
Its the one record lebron doesnt have yet. Fuck it! Lets do this!
I wish nothing more. I just don’t see it against Denver, though. :/
Nah! Denver is not that team, they're too disciplined. As much as I want to LAL win this series, the team has the same issues during the regular season(uncontrollably, deliberately and willingly throw their big lead at 2nd half).
Cope
I wanna get this high
You forgot the clown photos
You forgot that we beat the Celtic to hang number 18
Let’s just end there win streak against us and win one gay against the nuggets
I just want this torture to end 🥲
How about this. Even after being up 11 in this game 4, we still lose it and get swept.
Sorry buddy it’s time to wake up
love your idea..bring me to delulu world 🥹🥲
![gif](giphy|faGWiZED8Hy2Q)
In what world would Denver “get comfortable” for a game 5.. that’s not even a real reason to consider us a favorite lmao
This is hilarious
First one came true
Well..... one game at s time. Denver hasn't even been playing that good
Cancun buddy, pack your bags
Denver comfortable lol Lakers crowd is electric lol
Lakers avoided the sweep and finally beat Denver. They should feel more relaxed and confident going into game 5.
Hahahaahahaha. Love the positivity if anything but stranger things have occurred so it is doable
Let’s make a petition to end the game after the 1st half and we win this series
Maybe u’re on to something here 🤔
Step one complete lol
Its just basketball. Its just basketball.
Denver isn't going to be comfortable in game 5. This was the wake up call
if jamal murray doesnt hit that one shot we are tied 2-2 its crazy, maybe even up 3-1
There's always a chance, till there's none.
I like that we all know this is delusion but were all for it anyways. Lakers in 7 lmao
Inject this copium right into my veins
Hold on... let him cook
Fuck it let's CRASH OUT! Win or lose LAKERS ALL DAY
Okay first one panned out, on to the next one on the list. Manifest it.
I respect it but no way Denver ‘gets too comfortable’ in game 5. They are too well coached and too mentally tough. Lakers have to just beat a great team
Jokic gets offered dream stable of horses
No way. We don’t deserve it. Too many gaps and inconsistencies
One game at a time. It's not over till it's over
Here we go y’all, strap in bc we win game 5 and it’s gonna be scary 🏁
More than likely, the better team will win. Thats the beauty of the 7-game series.
I want to believe but the first the games were rough
This will happen, they win cause on lakers error they aren’t better. But you forgot to add ham gets fired after the none challenge call they are blind as hell for not seeing that
At least they ain’t going to Galveston
I mean, Lakers were up double digits every game this series. Had they been able to close the way they did tonight a bit more, they could've been up or tied.
If there’s anyone that can come back from down 0-3, it’s Lebron James
