@Lakersallthewa3 All Pelinka’s fault

We have lost the plot

@TonythePodBoss Why do you all have the Packers on your mind 247, tweet the Vikings or the Lions

Told these delusional Packer fans he wasn’t playing Week 1

@davidwillliams4 @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS I didn’t say otherwise, I’m just saying I’ll lean Rockets after watching recent NBA playoff games because they’ve got more of what works in the playoffs than the Lakers lately. Like I said, the Lakers are the best matchup for the Rockets out of all the contenders

@withba9ge @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS When did we ever claim they would win the whole thing? Yet, you keep suggesting the Rockets are unbeatable, insisting they'll beat the Lakers simply because they’re faster and younger.

stop the count; this is the perfect round one

@davidwillliams4 @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS LeBron’s 41 and they’d be a legit contender if Luka and this version of LeBron were surrounded with good and young 3 and D wings. Your best defender literally doesn’t play and your 2nd best defender is 6’3

@withba9ge @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS but LeBron has never had someone that’s consistent in the playoffs compared to Luka

@davidwillliams4 @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS If you take KD out and put Luka on that Rockets roster, they’d win it all because that’s how you build a team around Luka instead of this slop around him

@withba9ge @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS Luka plays great in the offs

@davidwillliams4 @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS LeBron has been good in the playoffs for a few years now and it hasn’t mattered. The roster around him has been weak, and Pelinka is running the Lakers opposite of where the league is heading. The NBA is full of elite 3 and D wings, and I’m not sure Pelinka gets that

@withba9ge @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS And you have King James….

@pasta172728 @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS

@withba9ge @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS Now it’s a coin flip lolll

@davidwillliams4 @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS It’s not just about the best 3, bench points matter too. Yeah I get that it’s normal to be optimistic as a fan but if I’m a Lakers fan there’s no way I’m optimistic going into the playoffs with that roster in a league full of elite young athletic players

@withba9ge @pasta172728 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS So you don’t think Luke,ar,will cook year 2 together

@pasta172728 @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS That’s why a Lakers fan would say. The Rockets are flawed too cos they don’t have a PG, but the Lakers won’t outwork them in any game. Playoffs and the regular season are totally different, and I’m not trying to convince anyone here, I’m just saying the series is a coinflip

@withba9ge @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS You’re debating a wall lol. All I’m saying is Lakers>Rockets

@pasta172728 @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS You don’t watch the Rockets, they’re gonna be a very stubborn playoffs team, same with Minnesota, their style of play fits the playoffs more and you all are gonna see it

@withba9ge @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS I’m not saying this roster is good enough to win it all but I’m confident they can beat Houston in a 7 game serious. Now if we’re talking about them vs OKC or The Spurs, yea wayy different story lol

@pasta172728 @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS No excuses for Luka then because the Lakers roster is visibly flawed but a hot streak is already influencing you all. This is literally what Pelinka wants you all to believe after punting a year in Luka’s prime

@withba9ge @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS Houston’s athleticism means nothing when everyone is gassed at the end of the games and you’re forced to rely on skill which they don’t have. You should know this if you watch these rocket games. It’s not rocket science bud

@pasta172728 @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS U all do this just to end up making excuses that the roster isn’t good enough. Lakers need to get off LeBron’s contract then build around Luka & Reeves with very good 3 & D players via FA & draft to compete, u all act like this is gonna be ur 1st time experiencing the playoffs

@withba9ge @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS lol and they lost due to their lack of playoff experience. You’re relying on a coach who never has won anything and an aged KD. Lakers have 3 legitimate closers on their team which is why they have the best clutch record

@mavmade2 @spottednjigba @RussFcb 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭, are you being for real or you’re just trolling or maybe it was another playoff run, Brunson literally carried the Mavs without Luka to a winning record against the Jazz, this playoff run was the reason he got paid by the Knicks but keep the gimmick on

@withba9ge @spottednjigba @RussFcb kyrie worked way better in that mavs system than brunson. spencer dinwiddie was outplaying brunson from the bench

A Shai slander game on my TL is 33 Points on 83/75/83 & 96% TS. It is what it is

@pasta172728 @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS They literally went into deep waters and came back from 3-1 to force a Game 7. If you think that’s not enough experience, good luck. They’ve got an experienced coach & an experienced 1st option. I’m not sure you all watch Rockets games, their main issue is they just self destruct

@withba9ge @davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS A first round exit doesn’t count as playoff experience lol. 4/5 lakers starters have been to the finals lol

@mavmade2 @spottednjigba @RussFcb Brunson started every game in that WCF run & his stats were decent. U can’t force someone to be a 1st option & say they’re gonna be better if they’re not an All Star caliber player. That Mavs offense was all Luka & the team would’ve been better if Brunson had Kyrie type touches

@withba9ge @spottednjigba @RussFcb brunson literally came off the bench most games pls look at his stats for the suns and warriors series. and fym magically obviously when u become a first option under a different system ur gonna become better

@davidwillliams4 @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS They played in the playoffs last season and gained experience. The Lakers and Nuggets are favorable matchups for the Rockets because they can at least put up decent offense against those defenses. The Lakers can definitely win that series, but it would be a toss up

@withba9ge @KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS You say all that, but make it seem like other than KD the players been in playoff atmosphere

@mavmade2 @spottednjigba @RussFcb He literally had Brunson, unless u think Brunson magically turned into All Star guard with the Knicks, he just didn’t get enough touches and they won playoff games without Luka. SGA has always been an aggressive scorer, even on bad rosters and if anything, he should pass more

@withba9ge @spottednjigba @RussFcb reaves and bron been hella injured but im mostly talking about early luka when he had shit for a roster and still went to the wcf

@mavmade2 @spottednjigba @RussFcb Luka has 2 other on ball creators, and SGA is as aggressive a scorer as ever, he wasn’t playing like prime Mike Conley out there, he still got his points but didn’t get much help from anyone else. We watched the Celtics toy with Luka in the Finals & mostly turn him into a scorer

@withba9ge @spottednjigba @RussFcb elite players are able to beat those coverages, look at luka

@KidnHoops @ClaireMPLS Not happening, Lakers are gonna struggle against young, physical teams in the playoffs again. As bad as the Rockets are, they play a playoff brand of basketball if u watch them every night, they just self destruct with turnovers, especially KD & if they fix that they’d be elite

@ClaireMPLS Lakers sweeping the rockets

@mavmade2 @spottednjigba @RussFcb Bcos that’s not the point, I already said OKC have the best roster in the league but they dont have an elite 2nd option who’s a creator. JDub used to be that guy but he’s been injured. Smart teams like the Celtics would run a defensive scheme that makes the role players beat them

@withba9ge @spottednjigba @RussFcb why we acting like defense doesnt exist
