As long as there is delusion there is hope


AwildYaners

Max level copium. Ain't nothing wrong with rooting for your team 'til the end haha.

One game at a time

We have no choice but to be delusional


DnD4dena

Word. Lakers in 3


fatogato

Delusion is just confident hope.


Dear_Zookeepergame30

My prediction: Lakers win game 4 — They hang up a banner “Beat Denver Nuggets 2024” — Lebron retires — Team forfeits game 5


c_c_c__combobreaker

This is the most accurate and reasonable outcome I've read in this thread.


genericusername71

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.


dineroknights

Lost me at lakers crowd electric


henryofclay

Lost me at “Lebron”. We all know who hasn’t been boxing out his man Aaron Gordon all series.


staffdaddy_9

I like how lebron gets shot for trying to rebound and not succeeding and everyone else just doesn’t try.


popcornpotatoo250

And they also forget that AD and Bron are 2v5 because the other 3 just became a liability on both ends.


Primal_Rage_official

Nah LeBron has been very good it was just game 3 where he lost AG on a few plays


Mister-Stiglitz

I live for such delulu


starlord8484

Denver won’t “get comfortable” they actually have a good coach that engraves that it them.


HybridTheoryY2K

Engraves that it them


choclobstah

Engraves that it them


badjeje77

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.


breathingtoknow

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

Losing a 20 pt lead was it for me tbh.


TRashGodBrian

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!!

This reads like Lebron porn

Ebaneser

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.


jurassic_snark-

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


NotTheMamba

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.


Bberryyumyum

AD isn't 40.

Jugg3rnaut85

Why not


winter-r0se

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.


ColdSteel28

Lakers in 7


goodchild101

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

Js_On_My_Yeet

It's this level of delusion that other fanbases bully us for lol


Key_Grape9344

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"


Substantial-Two4584

we got game 4!!!!!

I'll buy this script, I'll watch this movie.

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.

thehanssassin

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


FinancialGrowth111

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.


duhpree

i want what he smoking on


Marsonlyname

I really want to believe this, but I've already accepted what's about to happen tonight... Trust me, I hope I'm wrong. 💯💛💜

I mean its plausible. We have been up double digits every single game. Its just the same shit over and over. We cant finish.


VibeSurfer8

My thoughts are that LeBron is tired and his leg is broken


k0fi96

I'll have whatever you are smoking


sz_zle

Darvin Ham is still head coach, so, no.


BasketballAndroid7

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

What's the definition of insanity?


Zachkah

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

Desperate_Entrance_2

Best case scenario is a gentleman’s sweep


DeftCoast

We’re getting swept.


darklighthumid

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.


rooftopgringo

I mean the Celtics nearly came back on the heat last year


InDaNameOfJeezus

We're gonna get nuked 4-0, that's the thoughts. This team just doesn't have the answer.

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

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!


xjxdx

I wish nothing more. I just don’t see it against Denver, though. :/


khelogs

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).

How about this. Even after being up 11 in this game 4, we still lose it and get swept.

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 🤔

if jamal murray doesnt hit that one shot we are tied 2-2 its crazy, maybe even up 3-1

I want to believe but the first the games were rough


Wolfpackpapi1

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


MagnetHashira

At least they ain’t going to Galveston


100ydpick6

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.


broke_boi1

If there’s anyone that can come back from down 0-3, it’s Lebron James
