To keep things going it's a nice time to play this
Watching Houston has got me even less worried than before about them. Playoff James & Russ are here, their other "shooters" are streaky & they're offense is simple as hell. I got us in 6 at Max, 5 if Russ is still hampered by that Quad.

Need the lakers to win this year so I can go ahead and be done with the NBA
too many narratives. Too many “experts” messing up the game. Can’t watch a game without stupid commentary all over the place. From the actual announcers to the media hottakers to the stupid fans in the nba thread.
Here’s an example: charles Barkley saying that BI didn’t improve til he left LA. That comment, made by a guy who idiots actually listen to and consume his thoughts and then make their own arguments from clearly never saw BI play before this season. They would have known that he improved every year and played lights out right before his blood clot for LA.
Similarly the idea I keep hearing about how “lakers should have kept BI instead of Kuzma...” even though there is ZERO evidence that the lakers had a choice of one of the core to keep, people still use that to push an agenda of laker hate if they choose.
As a fan it gets exhausting. Not only do we have to watch the game but then you gotta go defend your team from false narratives as if we are publicists for the team. As much you try and ignore it, it has now entered every aspect of the nba and so it gets very hard to. As a die hard kobe fan, I have felt this for a long time.Only real Kobe fans know how much subtle undercover hate he’d get for many many years. Subtle jabs by the media and therefore casual fans (who listen to these guys)took its toll to the point that we were against wanting LeBron on the team in his honor. Lol
I know I know “it ain’t that serious”

You said it yourself, it ain't that serious. If you don't like hearing media hot takes, just turn the TV off and stay off social media. You don't need to defend the Lakers or Nike talk or on Twitter.

lol I might hate danny green more than kuzma now....
dude is really crying about fans?!?! he has been pure caca for a loooooong time now and he wants sympathy?
the dude could have built 5 castles already with the amount of bricks he throws up...
he needs to own up to his crap perfomance, have some pride in his game and prove everyone wrong instead of crying about the negativity he deserves

That ain't it Chief. Danny has the wrong mindset. The slander he's receiving is because of bad play. It's all a valid criticism. No one wants Danny to fail, when Danny succeeds the whole team succeeds. We want him to play better. The majority of the people slandering him are Laker fans who have been fans long before Danny Green ever got here.

I'm more mad that Danny's podcast sucks in general.

My mind says HOU blows out OKC tmrw but my heart says they keep it close to the bitter end.
Tmrw is gonna be nuts.

Houston better blow them out. If the game is close the Thunder will win.

So we want Houston?! (i’d rather not have to rely on DG and Co hitting threes to keep up with HOU rn)
OKC seems like the choice to be “rested” for WCF
Steven Adams can only guard AD for so long assuming he plays the 5 and is food if he guards any other position. Not sure about the young guns (bucket getters no doubt but experience helps)
CP3 giving buckets to everyone though

It's so OBVIOUS Lakers are going to win it all.
Rockets stand no chance, Paper Clipps stand no chance.
Whoever comes out the East could't even beat the MAVS, let alone the Lakers.

If I'm LA I still want OKC because they are more predictable and got less fire power.
As much as we clown em, Harden really is unguardable when he gets it going and their style of play got more explosive potential. That said, that's the rockets in theory and so far they don't look anywhere near close to that version. They aren't a good shooting team and Westbrook doesn't look ready for these high stress games.
Even if they get by OKC tmrw, if Russ plays like butt again that doesn't bold well on their chances against the Lakers.

I
OKC CP3 is single handedly winning games for them. Take CP3 out Rockets would’ve won in 4/5
Russ will definitely win Us a game or 2
Rockets have a game where they can’t throw a rock im the ocean
CP3 gonna be easier for AC/Rondo etc to guard
I also prefer OKC over HOU. If houston is on man are they on.
