"This year, the path to the Eastern Conference Finals was the weakest we've seen, leading to what I believe is the weakest NBA Finals ever.

That one guy who keeps saying Kai Sotto is the answer for the Lakers is hilarious. Sotto only averaged 13/6 in the Japanese league last season so that means he'd probably average half that or less in the NBA against much stronger competition.
Lakers front office has been too busy trying to run the team like it's 1999 rather than adapting to the changing NBA landscape. Nothing will change until they make a shift philosophically. I'm not sure the current FO is capable of doing that, especially with Jeanie at the head.

@silencer8182 that's absolutely no excuse. Every year there are injuries or teams with easier paths than others. Every single year. So there being injuries or a team having an easy path is really no excuse. The celtics set themselves up to win, the lakers didn't. They were never getting past the nuggets, the wolves, or the mavs. All three of those teams would have knocked the lakers out. So you can't look at the conference as a whole. Any of those teams meeting the lakers in round 1 would have resulted in elimination.
Boston stayed the course, that's the difference...fans need to stop trashing the front office and understand they making all these trades and roster overhauls because they know there is no patience to allow a real rebuild
We are barely rivals anymore. We never play the Celtics. The 80's were almost 40 years ago. It's easy to say Denver does not matter because they did not win. I would be so much more miserable if Denver won again. People will say I am not a real Lakers fan but honestly, if we are not playing against the Celtics in the finals the rivalry is dormant. It would be annoying if any team (besides the Lakers) won multiple championships in a few years.
Personally, I don't know how any Laker fan could say they prefer Boston winning as opposed to Denver. Blows my mind really. I could easier deal with Denver winning the next 3 championships than Boston winning a single one. The end to this season has literally left me sick to my stomach.

Ask Bron about AC. Lakers gave him away to keep THT? Who 'dat? Exactly. Very next season they trade THT for...Pat Beverly? So we essentially gave up AC and THT for...PB? And how did that work out? Now? We have no AC, THT, or PB! But AC is of the essence. He's not a "pretty good" role player." He's an elite one that can help contending teams win. Plenty of "pretty good role players" in the NBA. AC? He's a few cuts above. Thats a fact.
@jdh9676 Elite - LOL Has he ever won 6th Man Of The Year or even been in the top 3 vote-getters for the title? Because if not, then he's not "elite" - he's just pretty good.
@@dmitryowens 'bro? You a casual? I want to give you credit for not being. AC can't win 6th Man of The Year because he's been a starter for the last two seasons. Catch up, brother. He was First Team All NBA Defense for '22-'23 and 2nd Team for '23-'24 only because the NBA made that accolade "positionless." Which saw 4/5 Centers on the 1st Team. Otherwise he's 1st Team All NBA Defense two years in a row. Last season he won NBA Hustle Player Of The Year. An award given based on advanced stats and analytics to the player who "most impacts winning on both sides of the ball but who's affect may not be reflected in the box score or primary stats." He's not a "6th Man" though he could be again. And he's far above a "pretty good role player." He is an elite one.
@jdh9676 Blah, blah, blah, ad nausaem - save yourself all the effort and typing and just say that you're a hopelessly delusional Caruso fanboy and be done with it. He's been a starter for the last 2 years because he's been on an average team (and I'm complimenting the Bulls by saying that) - on any good team he'd be a 6th man, but not one of the top 3 6th men.
In all fairness, 7 years ago, no one could see Lonzo Ball's injuries plaguing his career or Jason Tatum's development 🤔. Need to stop the "If I could have, would have, should have crap."
This just means 1. Hopefully Lebron signs and Requests a trade midway 2. Pelinka is on his last prove it year 3. We’re ready to pick a side are we finding the next young star to carry us forward or sacrifice another year to retire a Legend
What is the argument AGAINST putting the top 16 teams into the playoffs versus the top 8 from each conference?? I've been saying for years that this should be done, but why do people think the current system is good as-is?
Seeing how genius Brad Sevens’ genius moves resulted in a chip makes me more frustrated than ever that Polenta has been utterly incompetent and has remained gm makes my blood boil. Ownership and front office is so unbelievably bad
We really could’ve gotten Tatum and Ingram, and still sign Lebron in 2019, but our messy front office is a joke. Please Jeanie sell the team or start wising up. The Rambis and Phil cannot have a say on decisions.
JJ coaching summer league would actually be amazingly respectable, gets him an automatic buy in with our young players & is a great start to the creating of a program that Lakers speak of Also it would be funny 😂
This yrs finals was boring tbh, Dallas didnt even try if we're being honest. Kyrie only scoring 15 pts in an elimination game is something to be angry about if youre a fan of the game in general. With that said Lakers will be fine, does it sting? ofc, but now this offseason will def be an deciding factor in the Lakers success going forward. Starts with the coach and adding to what they already have, I dont see half of our current roster being with the team. Lets see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Lakers will win the west next yr
Y’all ready to get serious yet? Or some of y’all still crying and fighting to keep DLO? Seriously the Lakers have about 4 players on the roster who should stay. Everyone else should be available for trade or to be waived. Liking players doesn’t equal championships. You need two way players and bigs. A backcourt of DLO/Reaves who plays no defense and don’t score enough not going to get it. AD as the primary starting center not good enough for the west or to beat the Celtics. Boston and Dallas took risk and made trades they didn’t “stay pat” at the trade deadline. Other than Lebron and AD no other player was consistent and playing at championship level during the playoffs. Unless the Lakers are willing to go all in this season instead of making small changes the result will be the same next season.
Df you mean an unfortunate ending to the season? The Celtics don’t need to suck just because the Lakers suck. Some here saying the Celtics had it easy… booooo… No, they simply got consistently better and that’s it. With all the nonsense going on with the Lakers, we will be fortunate if we win another tittle in 10 years. Thats what making dumb decisions and living on past glory gets you. Today’s Lakers as a team, a group of players, a coaching staff (hi JJ) and a front office is just not capable of producing a championship, it’s that simple. I’ve been a laker fan for decades. I will be honest and say it’s been way too hard to stay a fan for quite a while now.
@@Daangelvid360 I absolutely do realize that you can thank LeBron for that they put it in for him as a La fan that loves the Laker because of the Lakers not because of who's on the team and not a LeBron sexual that like the Lakers cuz LeBron is on the team real Lakers fans hope he don't pick up his option we never wanted him in the first place
@@daylcday8459 Did you start watching the NBA in 2021? Before the play-in 7 and 8 seeds made the playoffs without having to play extra games. His response to your comment was correct. The Lakers have never actually benefitted from the play-in because they were either the 7 or 8 seed. All it did was make them play more games. Only the NBA benefits from it through increased revenue.
@@maddaminkk of course not 2021 hahaha you're funny 🤣😂😂😂😂😂 like I said blame LeBron they put the play in tournament for him to help him to be able to run another ring I think they're playing tournament is stupid find more games and not helping you blind you guys favorite player LeBron
@@daylcday8459 But it hasn't helped him at all. Also I have no idea what this means "I think they're playing tournament is stupid find more games and not helping you blind you guys favorite player LeBron". After Lebron retires and the play-in tournament still exists will you be able to finally comprehend that the NBA made the play-in so they can play more games and increase revenue?
Boston was the favorite all season long in my book. They played the best basketball. Not surprised they won. They would also have won if they were in the west. I also can live with Boston winning it, cause the team is likable and not like the past one with Paul Pierce etc. And I’m saying that as a lakers fan.
I legit don’t see how anyone is hating on it. When is the last time JT/JB got hurt or missed time. They’ve stuck to these two, haven’t ran through coaches, haven’t traded a bunch of players every year. They’ve been scratching and clawing for years. The coach is likable. JT is hella likable. How is LA gonna hate on the dude they passed on. Trevor is annoying with the hate.
@@br0ck yeah. And don't forget that even Kobe worked out with JT and helped him become the player that he now is. I really can't hate on JT since he always said that Kobe was his idol. Im just glad DEN didn't win. They have become our rival in the last years not BOS.
This is why the rivalry is the best in all of sports. These two fanbases hate each other so much, we need this hate to make the lakers better. I also love how much the lakers were discreditted for their bubble win, and now the Cs are being shit on bs the east is weak. Two sides of the same coin friends 🎉
I've had to admit it.... I wanted the Celtics over Mavs..... didn't want to hear 24/7 Luka, LUka, Luka this off season....as we would have if Mavs had won......
Hi Trevor how Come Magic Johnson gets a pass as was a unmitigated disaster. He traded away Lou Williams for a bag of popcorn. And Jordan. Clarkston along with letting Randall walk away in Obvious salary dump He had no vision he was focused on was signing lebron
Im happy the celtics won!!! Hopefully this will light a fire under everyones qss to put ut all on the line and make some shit happen for us to go win a chip .
Seriously - same here. I hate Denver, the Clippers and the Suns much more than Boston because those teams are our direct competition in the playoffs every year - if we don't get past them then our season is over. We only need to worry about Boston 😂if both they and the Lakers face each other in the Finals.

do you see the mavs contest the jumpers as stretched on arm as they can?? you see that basketball is arbitrary and the only one size fits all is knocking down open 3s and lay down your pom poms on your generic ability to distinguish prime or aging since you have no concept of athletics to establish /presumption on being washed in the first place rofl. there's no debate it's just the fact of the matter.
The right thing to do is to congratulate Boston even if it makes us cringe. Brad Stevens was their MVP. Rob has to step up or we will keep falling further behind in the championship total to the team in gangrene.
Damn it's crazy but if the Lakers would have ducked denver. We would have beat the thunder. Wolves knock out Denver. I believe we would have beat the wolves too for sure and most likely the Mavs. Then had a great chance to beat Boston especially without prosingas.. yet here we are
Lakers never keep their young prospect and develop them. They always trade for Veteran. Lakers front office is suck since Jerry West left. They had #2 pick twice but passed on Tatum and Jokic
Trevor you made it to analysis when you sat there and said that they made a mistake by taking Lonzo ball instead of taking Jayson Tatum while Jayson Tatum clearly is better than Lonzo ball ever will be the fact is is LeBron James would have forced you to trade him to get Anthony Davis anyway and then you guys were really kicking yourselves for saying we got rid of a superstar and Jayson Tatum to get Anthony Davis
Hire Sam Cassell! He’s on the Celtics coaching staff, fresh off a championship

@@MrAxidol lonzos rookie season was better than fox, go look it up
Im in pain rn… Just cane here to mourn with the rest of Laker nation/ Laker Fam 😢
JJ Reddick these dudes man so JJ knows the game duhh most not all but most guys who played as long ass JJ did knows the game BUT THAT HAS JAKK SHYT TO DO WITH COACHING
We can hate on the celtics but they did it the right way. With homegrown talent. And we passed on the guy.
Trev you definitely could pass being the voice of the old man in Family Guy 😂 thanks LakersNation!!!!!! Hopefully we get some positive news moving forward. Go Lakers
Between the Lakers mishaps and the Celtics winning, we're now all insane and have succumbed to celebrity impressions and multiple personalities.
Getting rid of East West is a HORRIBLE idea

Fools act like Caruso is Michael Jordan 😄 He's a pretty good role player - that's all.
Ask Bron about AC. Lakers gave him away to keep THT? Who 'dat? Exactly. Very next season they trade THT for...Pat Beverly? So we essentially gave up AC and THT for...PB? And how did that work out? Now? We have no AC, THT, or PB! But AC is of the essence. He's not a "pretty good" role player." He's an elite one that can help contending teams win. Plenty of "pretty good role players" in the NBA. AC? He's a few cuts above. Thats a fact.
@jdh9676 Elite - LOL Has he ever won 6th Man Of The Year or even been in the top 3 vote-getters for the title? Because if not, then he's not "elite" - he's just pretty good.
@@dmitryowens 'bro? You a casual? I want to give you credit for not being. AC can't win 6th Man of The Year because he's been a starter for the last two seasons. Catch up, brother. He was First Team All NBA Defense for '22-'23 and 2nd Team for '23-'24 only because the NBA made that accolade "positionless." Which saw 4/5 Centers on the 1st Team. Otherwise he's 1st Team All NBA Defense two years in a row. Last season he won NBA Hustle Player Of The Year. An award given based on advanced stats and analytics to the player who "most impacts winning on both sides of the ball but who's affect may not be reflected in the box score or primary stats." He's not a "6th Man" though he could be again. And he's far above a "pretty good role player." He is an elite one.
@jdh9676 Blah, blah, blah, ad nausaem - save yourself all the effort and typing and just say that you're a hopelessly delusional Caruso fanboy and be done with it. He's been a starter for the last 2 years because he's been on an average team (and I'm complimenting the Bulls by saying that) - on any good team he'd be a 6th man, but not one of the top 3 6th men.
@@dmitryowens Okie-dokie. Have a great week!🤗
The only Lakers tax is low Iq
In all fairness, 7 years ago, no one could see Lonzo Ball's injuries plaguing his career or Jason Tatum's development 🤔. Need to stop the "If I could have, would have, should have crap."
Remember Len Bias. He was No. 1 for Celtics and he died of an OD, they say.
This just means
1. Hopefully Lebron signs and Requests a trade midway
2. Pelinka is on his last prove it year
3. We’re ready to pick a side are we finding the next young star to carry us forward or sacrifice another year to retire a Legend
What is the argument AGAINST putting the top 16 teams into the playoffs versus the top 8 from each conference?? I've been saying for years that this should be done, but why do people think the current system is good as-is?
I agree. But most are afraid of too much travel between early rounds E to W.
What about Mark Jackson as the new coach for LA
Seeing how genius Brad Sevens’ genius moves resulted in a chip makes me more frustrated than ever that Polenta has been utterly incompetent and has remained gm makes my blood boil. Ownership and front office is so unbelievably bad
Lakers fans ready to blame Bron if they don’t win next year with zero real accountability for the FO
We really could’ve gotten Tatum and Ingram, and still sign Lebron in 2019, but our messy front office is a joke. Please Jeanie sell the team or start wising up. The Rambis and Phil cannot have a say on decisions.
Yes, we are sore loser, but also we should get rid of conferences.
Easiest playoffs run in nba history, every single star of their opponents were out
JJ coaching summer league would actually be amazingly respectable, gets him an automatic buy in with our young players & is a great start to the creating of a program that Lakers speak of
Also it would be funny 😂
This yrs finals was boring tbh, Dallas didnt even try if we're being honest. Kyrie only scoring 15 pts in an elimination game is something to be angry about if youre a fan of the game in general. With that said Lakers will be fine, does it sting? ofc, but now this offseason will def be an deciding factor in the Lakers success going forward. Starts with the coach and adding to what they already have, I dont see half of our current roster being with the team. Lets see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Lakers will win the west next yr
Perfect time for the Lakers to hire Sam Cassell 😈 fresh off a championship 😂
Boston has 2 chips in over 30yrs so who cares. No need to be salty. Not even sure why pre-merger championships count. NFL doesn’t count those.
No one:
Trevor: "Tuumorrow" 😂
If I hear the Rambis name dropped at Any point during this off season I will start the petition to Jeanie to get them out of the big kid rooms
Lakers front office is bad.
Y’all ready to get serious yet? Or some of y’all still crying and fighting to keep DLO? Seriously the Lakers have about 4 players on the roster who should stay. Everyone else should be available for trade or to be waived. Liking players doesn’t equal championships. You need two way players and bigs. A backcourt of DLO/Reaves who plays no defense and don’t score enough not going to get it. AD as the primary starting center not good enough for the west or to beat the Celtics. Boston and Dallas took risk and made trades they didn’t “stay pat” at the trade deadline. Other than Lebron and AD no other player was consistent and playing at championship level during the playoffs. Unless the Lakers are willing to go all in this season instead of making small changes the result will be the same next season.
I am still pissed about that Chris Paul no trade! We would’ve won at least three more titles
I'd still take a healthy Lonzo over Tatum.
Df you mean an unfortunate ending to the season? The Celtics don’t need to suck just because the Lakers suck. Some here saying the Celtics had it easy… booooo… No, they simply got consistently better and that’s it. With all the nonsense going on with the Lakers, we will be fortunate if we win another tittle in 10 years. Thats what making dumb decisions and living on past glory gets you.
Today’s Lakers as a team, a group of players, a coaching staff (hi JJ) and a front office is just not capable of producing a championship, it’s that simple. I’ve been a laker fan for decades. I will be honest and say it’s been way too hard to stay a fan for quite a while now.
Drink some coffee and calm down. It’s not that serious 😂😂😂
Amazing Sabre reference
Impression of Stephen A was a hit cuz I swear he talked about that podcast just like that😂😂😂
This is like the fifth video in a row of you saying THE EXACT same shit! 😂😂
We talked about the Finals 5 videos in a row? Don’t think so
I mean it is his job
Don’t watch then
@@imbrzyant exactly
This year sucked for Laker fans man 😭
Stop the player options Rob
Trevor with the Herbert the pervert voice and Sean A Smith, we don’t come here for the analysis we come here for the shenanigans 😂
Those were pretty bad imitations 😄
@@hinjurock70 what do you mean? They were Oscar worthy 🤣
Get rid of the tournament they put in for the LeBron the play-in tournament😂😂😂😂😂😂
You do realise the play-in has been nothing but negative for us, right?
@@Daangelvid360 I absolutely do realize that you can thank LeBron for that they put it in for him as a La fan that loves the Laker because of the Lakers not because of who's on the team and not a LeBron sexual that like the Lakers cuz LeBron is on the team real Lakers fans hope he don't pick up his option we never wanted him in the first place
@@daylcday8459 Did you start watching the NBA in 2021? Before the play-in 7 and 8 seeds made the playoffs without having to play extra games. His response to your comment was correct. The Lakers have never actually benefitted from the play-in because they were either the 7 or 8 seed. All it did was make them play more games. Only the NBA benefits from it through increased revenue.
@@maddaminkk of course not 2021 hahaha you're funny 🤣😂😂😂😂😂 like I said blame LeBron they put the play in tournament for him to help him to be able to run another ring I think they're playing tournament is stupid find more games and not helping you blind you guys favorite player LeBron
@@daylcday8459 But it hasn't helped him at all. Also I have no idea what this means "I think they're playing tournament is stupid find more games and not helping you blind you guys favorite player LeBron". After Lebron retires and the play-in tournament still exists will you be able to finally comprehend that the NBA made the play-in so they can play more games and increase revenue?
Boston was the favorite all season long in my book. They played the best basketball. Not surprised they won. They would also have won if they were in the west. I also can live with Boston winning it, cause the team is likable and not like the past one with Paul Pierce etc. And I’m saying that as a lakers fan.
Yeah they obviously were the best team all year.
Enjoy this Boston. U got the rest of the NBA gunning for yall.
I legit don’t see how anyone is hating on it. When is the last time JT/JB got hurt or missed time. They’ve stuck to these two, haven’t ran through coaches, haven’t traded a bunch of players every year. They’ve been scratching and clawing for years. The coach is likable. JT is hella likable. How is LA gonna hate on the dude they passed on. Trevor is annoying with the hate.
@@br0ck yeah. And don't forget that even Kobe worked out with JT and helped him become the player that he now is. I really can't hate on JT since he always said that Kobe was his idol. Im just glad DEN didn't win. They have become our rival in the last years not BOS.
Boston fortunate enough to win the final despite of a weak eastern conference.
Tell Jeannie to sell some ownership to Guggenheim!!!
For Halloween 👻 I expect costumes to those impersonations 😊
SELL THE TEAM.. SELL THE TEAM.. we need to get another protest going outside staples center just like before we got lebron
This is why the rivalry is the best in all of sports. These two fanbases hate each other so much, we need this hate to make the lakers better. I also love how much the lakers were discreditted for their bubble win, and now the Cs are being shit on bs the east is weak. Two sides of the same coin friends 🎉
Why is the front office not being completely trashed? It is totally amazing to me .
I've had to admit it.... I wanted the Celtics over Mavs..... didn't want to hear 24/7 Luka, LUka, Luka this off season....as we would have if Mavs had won......
All around a majority of the playoffs sucked. A lot of blowouts.
Without Porzingis Boston will not win championship with just Tatum and Brown.
Don't know whats more annoying, the Celtics winning a championship or Sean Davis...
Trade Dlo and Rui for Anfernee Simons and Robert Williams
I highly doubt Portland would do that.
We need 2way players for the backcourt lol
If DLo walks slide AR to the 1. Gone probably trade gave so sign cp3 n deanthony melton/spencer. Point guard position set.
Hi Trevor how Come Magic Johnson gets a pass as was a unmitigated disaster.
He traded away Lou Williams for a bag of popcorn.
And Jordan. Clarkston along with letting Randall walk away in Obvious salary dump He had no vision he was focused on was signing lebron
10:16
Jaylen Brown is better than overrated Tatum.
Jeanie is the one I've little faith in
Im happy the celtics won!!! Hopefully this will light a fire under everyones qss to put ut all on the line and make some shit happen for us to go win a chip .
Announce JJ tomorrow morning already with a good staff. No time to be cheap!
Are we EVER gonna get a coach?
Smh
Why is it an unfortunate result? Lol
Because fuck Boston
It is for anyone who's not a Celtics fan - for Celtics fans it's a great result.
@@dmitryowens I’m a laker fan but I don’t hate on the Celtics
@@Davebog28384eje
I do 😎
I disagree about Denver I want to take Jamal Murray and Jokic out of the playoffs one of these years after the last 2 embarrassing post season losses!
Seriously - same here. I hate Denver, the Clippers and the Suns much more than Boston because those teams are our direct competition in the playoffs every year - if we don't get past them then our season is over. We only need to worry about Boston 😂if both they and the Lakers face each other in the Finals.

do you see the mavs contest the jumpers as stretched on arm as they can??
you see that basketball is arbitrary and the only one size fits all is knocking down open 3s and lay down your pom poms on your generic ability to distinguish prime or aging since you have no concept of athletics to establish /presumption on being washed in the first place rofl.
there's no debate it's just the fact of the matter.
The right thing to do is to congratulate Boston even if it makes us cringe. Brad Stevens was their MVP. Rob has to step up or we will keep falling further behind in the championship total to the team in gangrene.
Damn it's crazy but if the Lakers would have ducked denver. We would have beat the thunder. Wolves knock out Denver. I believe we would have beat the wolves too for sure and most likely the Mavs. Then had a great chance to beat Boston especially without prosingas.. yet here we are
Thanx Sean
If Lebron get 2 back to Back
I May never shut my Mouthagain
Here’s to Hoping History repeats itself RN
Again!!!
Please 🙏 Lord
I've been a diehard Lakers fan since 1990, but that's not happening.
So you count the Minneapolis Lakers titles as well, though L.A only has 12. I see what you're doing. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah they should change it to top 16 record in the league
So the unappreciative Lakers fan still count the 17th banner even though they never liked or accepted LeBron? Why don’t they just say we got 16🤨
@@jimmyconway6080 has no 17th banner egg brain
Yes JJ should coach summer league
Lakers never keep their young prospect and develop them. They always trade for Veteran. Lakers front office is suck since Jerry West left. They had #2 pick twice but passed on Tatum and Jokic
If we have another pandemic then maybe the Lakers can win a title
Trevor you made it to analysis when you sat there and said that they made a mistake by taking Lonzo ball instead of taking Jayson Tatum while Jayson Tatum clearly is better than Lonzo ball ever will be the fact is is LeBron James would have forced you to trade him to get Anthony Davis anyway and then you guys were really kicking yourselves for saying we got rid of a superstar and Jayson Tatum to get Anthony Davis
Congratulations to the Boston Celtics for winning the 2024 NBA championship. Show some class
I hate the Celtics with a passion. I just want to see our lakers do better and win another championship.
Back seat driving Lakers to C-Town!
