Then he’ll roll you over and do it again.

Will he message you back the next day tho

Uhh

And he’s Japanese so he will be a blur while it’s happening (-1 defensive efficiency)

Dude absolutely creamed the Rockets.

calm down Charles

B-baka hentai 😳

Hopefully he’s got that Aaron Gordon/PJ Washington PF build that may give the Thunder trouble.

Rui “Tentacles” Hachimura

And the Rockets bent over

Go on….

Oh no

We’re two cheeks of the same ass except ours is sunburnt

Not only that, but the Lakers basically stopped playing serious defense in the last two minutes, so it’s even worse.

What the Magic did today was an all-time choke.

Might be worse than 0-27.

These 2 games scores remind me of the 90s.

our team finished what others couldn’t

YALL AINT BUILT THE SAME

At least the Pistons have a great defense. The Lakers defense has been average at best most of the season.

67 with 3 minutes to go before full on garbage time

Reed Sheppard is who Reaves and/or Lakers haters think Austin Reaves is. Lmao

Scored less than the Magic who had a 19 point half

98-78 scoreline.

We’re back in the 90s

REED SHEPPARD AND JABARI SMITH THANK YOU 🥹

Hopefully this ends “They’re better without KD” nonsense.

You shut down Sengun and their offense is in major trouble without KD

Getoffmydickerson was right all along.

41 year old Bron just outplayed Jokic, Tatum, Brown, and Mitchell in the first round, who are all supposed to be in their primes rn, this new gen of superstars should be embarrassed lmfaooo.

Hey this LeBron guy makes a pretty good first option for the playoffs.

I can’t believe people really thought a team with LeBron would be the first to blow a 3-0 series lead.

JJ calling the timeout after that sloppy turnover while still up by 20+ in the 4th was something you love to see from your coach.

Ausar got another thing to hold over his brother.

Saving this breakdown to review, but this is a good summary to keep folks from moving the goal posts.

Everybody was dogging the 2020 team every round picking them to lose, they won the whole thing and people look back at it now like of course they were gonna win

By game 1 it was a “lucky win” and “Nuka Nard” for the Lakers.

By game 2 it was “defended home court” and also “lucky win because of Smart”

By game 3 it was “Houston gave it away”

By game 4 “uh oh don’t give us game 5 now”

By game 5 it was “LeBron James will get slandered to the ends of the Earth if he blows this 3-0 lead”

By game 6 “LA wasn’t the underdog, Rockets did’t have KD. No fair”

This series was heavily Rockets favored until LA got 3-0 lmao

Lebron continues adding to his insane legacy.

Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe have been trying their hardest to downplay what 41 yo LeBron was able to do leading the Lakers to a 3-0 lead. He’s been a top 5 player in these playoffs and has outperformed Nikola Jokic

Yeah, we all know what’s going to happen. Since the Lakers won, the rockets were always a trash team and the Lakers were favourites.

Any playoff wins after Luka and Reaves went down with those injuries have been gravy. It’s been a fun ride and hopefully we have another fun series!

I had some faith in them to be competitive this series. I just wish I had it in writing to prove it

real shit

Yeah, this was an insane Lebron performance - gotta appreciate it.

Had me until that last one, ngl

I think in 2 years LeBron is going to win 6th man of the year. Limit his minutes in the 1st half, then the second half bring him in a few minutes into the 3rd quarter. Just give him a 2-3 minute break in the middle of the 4th.

Edit. Even if he did win 6th man of the year at 43 you would have people saying he just wasn’t good enough to be a starter his whole career.

Some people really thought this Rockets team would comeback from down 3-0 💀.

And bodied by a 41 years old.

The anti-Jaden McDaniels, if you will.

Rui Hachimura is the best Japanese athlete playing in Los Angeles right now.

I’m going into this series with an open mind. Shock me, Lakers. Either give OKC the scare of their lives or get beaten by 50 in each game, just surprise me

More like the next week

I’m just glad we didn’t choke a 3-0 and have to hear ESPN go on about Lebron’s legacy for 3 months

Lebron is back against an eviler empire. The Churchill of our time really.

We will be lucky to take a game off you guys lol.

I have no expectations at all with the next round

I dont think anyone expects the Lakers to pose much of a challenge. Im just ready for the Spurs v Thunder matchup

The inevitable “[Highlight] Dorts questionable closeout on Reaves” thread that gets made will be insane

That series is a quick 4 games I don’t think even the most optimistic lakers fans give them a real chance

Dirty ass water

I still can’t get over the fact that Udoka cheated on Nia Long. I wouldn’t trust that man with any big decision, especially coaching an NBA offense.

Did him and Bron dap up? Didnt get to watch the end

The Hussein Rockets

Tonight felt like the basketball version of Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal.

Watching Reed Sheppard struggle to get by injured Austin Reaves on isolation and Deandre Ayton on a switch was something else. Literally zero advantage creation on this roster.

Had millions of Rockets fans defending it by posting comments like “So who should they have traded for?” Ayo killing it in Minnesota though, respect to him.

Yeah. It was a major story on every NBA show “well Houston is gonna trade for a PG before the trade deadline” and NOPE. Absolute insane organizational malpractice.

Rockets probably beat us if they have Dosunmu.

Durant, That’s Right! - Durant

Saw a tweet saying that Sengun run like he got titties and I cant get that image out of my head ever since

Bros just flails and elbows everybody, then has the fucking gall to call any foul against him soft.

Discount Sabonis. KD was right about that whole squad.

I don’t like watching Reaves much but that was a crazy take when Sengun is in the league.

Yeah, everyone hates watching a skillful drive to the basket over a bunch of defenders. We all hate that shit, right guys?! Right?

AR is a grifter for sure but he also has some pretty crazy finishes, he ethered Sengun with a spin move in the first half.

Is this a pasta

You had us there in the first half. Seriously though, switch over to the Spurs.

The fact that it’s clear he has lost a step in terms of athleticism yet he still finds ways to drop 28/7/8 in a close out playoff game just does not make sense.

Even Melo who was a hooper was essentially just a spot up 3 shooter in his last season with LA and that was FOUR YEARS AGO.

Absolutely nobody else like LeBron is league history.

MJ could never. Jorbums awfully quiet these days.

bronny continues his playoff dominance 4-1 in the games he played 🤣

So close. All he had to do was miss that last free throw he took and then check out before throwing that lob to Hayes…

Lebron was doing everything when he was on the floor. Even if he didn’t get a point or an assist. The offense revolved around him for the most part.

Tbh lakers couldve said the same about game 5.

They shouldnt have blown that lead.

Definitely not lmao. They shit the bed tonight but were missing 2 of their 4 best players
