I made my peace, i'll enjoy the rest of the post season stress-free.
Exactly, now we can be a fan of the NBA and watch games for the love of the game.
Yea but there’s still a possibility they can win I’m not mad if they lose anymore tho for sure
Not till the celtics are out my friend...lol
Deep down inside I know u want a W today
@@lilsmokes213 captain obvious
Season most likely ends tonight. 😢😢but Lakers4life
One day I hope our Lakers own the Nuggets
💛💜💪🏾…
Maybe The Lakers can try something new! Do not give your all in the first half-burn out-lose the lead. keep it close and leave every Son Of A Bitching bit of energy, On The Floor in the 2nd half and pull it out.
@@vernpascal1531it’s not happening. This has happened 11 times in a row. Sometimes you just need to accept when it’s time to fold your hand
Theres no last chance it’s over, see u guys in October have a great summer
Lakers can still win. Dlo and rui just need to step up
@@danLTa1bro stop being delusional dlo not stepping up
@@danLTa1you need to stop the denial. There is no winning. Stick a damn fork in it.
@@danLTa1fiction can be fun
Stop being dramatic. We still have a chance. There’s more pressure on Denver to actually end the series. Lakers can play free and loose now.
if vogel can get fired the last game of the season then ham needs to be gone tonight.
I hope he will get fired after this series. Straight up after that last second game clock
That was Lebron who signed off on Vogel. Also, Vogel having trouble down 3-0 T-Wolves.
@@dax8 Great point!!!!
we will know before ham himself does.
Facts sir
I’m weirdly not mad anymore I’ve come to be even more excited about the offseason
Probably you realized that another sweep would have a 90%chance of firing Ham
Yup! When we accept the inevitable fate of this iteration of the Lakers it's a lot easier for our well being. I'd be happy of they win tonight but it'll just prolong the impending reality. I'm already in Fantasy GM mode😂 I'm so glad the Dodger season is underway and they're doing well. Kinda picks my mood up when the Lakers implode. Anyway, I'll be cheering for my Lakers tonight w/ a grain of salt..💛💜
Time for a rebuild. Go Lakers! 💜💛
Yes!!!
For the love of Kobe, YES!!!!
A major reset in the FO, coaching staff and roster is in order.
NOBODY should be on the Lakers after we end this series.
Only Lebron and Austin !
Ship out AD soft ass too the gig is up !!!
@@pladezcampbell2090AD has averaged 32 ppg this series and has played 76 regular season games out of 82 a career best. He's definitely not soft and he's the Lakers future still post Bron. Bron, AD are only safe ones unless either want out. I like Austin and I really want to keep him but if you have a chance to upgrade the roster significantly and he's the only one holding that up then I'm gonna be willing to move on from him as much as it hurts
Why trade anyone when we’re about to make history with the first ever 0-3 comeback.
I really wished I was as optimistic as you
@@EpicMalick more delusion, but a man can wish.
🙏
That’s right we will keep hope alive
Go Lakers 🎉
@@dougmaqway8547at least you are willing to admit…. But I hate to break the news, not happening. Maybe steal one tonight but going back to Denver is the end of the line at best
The going home party starts tonight. Let’s enjoy our last 48 fellas 🍺
Cheers 🍻 🍹🥃
They better give Ham the Vogel treatment tonight. A reporter better tell him he’s fired in the postgame lol
I sure hope that Coach Ham uses the 3 guard lineup again, Doesn't use Max at all and doesn't try to go Big just to see if it works. I really really hope he uses the same approach that hasn't worked for again and again 😊
😂
See you again in game 5.. Go Lakers 💜💛
Let's go Lakers, it's not over yet..just ready to ride sweeping broom 😁😁
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!
Ham needs to be driven to the nearest airport or demoted to janitor after this season, let down with no adjustment. Have Lbj at PG, Reves SG, Prince SF, Davis at PF and Hayes at C. And hope DLo and lead the bench unit to victory at this point. You have nothing to lose.
Exactly what I’ve been saying all series, all year, and everyday since Dwight and Javelle left.
Janitor 😂😂😂
I think this is a reflection of Rob Pelinka and his mindset on how many Bigs we need. Fire Rob!!
I wouldn’t start Hayes, but I do believe he could be a huge difference maker. I’ve put the numbers out there. We’re getting banged 280-247 FGA 145-116 TReb, and 38-18 Oreb. These rebounds are leading to DEN having 10-15 more shots than us per game. Of course you’ll lose unless EVERYTHING goes perfect. Malone over there laughing on the inside like these stupid mofos. We have an edge. But so does DEN and when we CHOOSE to NOT adjust to theirs, theirs is greater. DEN is huge. You fight size with size. Play Hayes + AD + LBJ and even Rui and now you 2 7 footers 6’9 and 6’8 and DEN edge is neutralized. It’s different ball game for AG going up for a board vs Hayes or AD. But AD can’t get the rebound when he’s STRATEGICALLY pulled away from the rim into the 2man game between Murray and Joker. I’d aim for at least 10-15mpg for LBJ AD and Hayes on the court together. Because I’ll tell another thing, DEN cannot stop us offensively.
ASAP.. Ham get outtttt.. We fans.. Soooo tired of uuuuuu..
Bruh. DEN is outing us…
280-247 FGA
145-117 Total Rebounds
38-18 Offensive Rebounds
*To go where you’ve never been, you must do something you’ve never done.*
You fight size with size. It’s crazy Ham will run 3-4 guard lineup with 6’3” dudes but won’t run a BIG lineup with 2 7 footers. AD Hayes LBJ is a huge frontline to contend with. All those 2nd chance opportunities aren’t advantageous to DEN if you do that. But Ham won’t even TRY it. I know Malone laughing inside like these stupid mofos over there smh. They’re pulling AD from the rim with the Jokic Murray 2 man game and camping AG in the dunkers spot to clean up any misses. Won’t get them all, but basketball is a numbers game and if you have the size advantage, you’ll inevitably get more chances than not. I 💯 % guarantee Coach Spo/Pop wouldn’t sit there like a duck and get popped over and over again.
You're not realizing half of those rebounds Denver has are from people like LeBron ball watching and not boxing out. With the effort & mentality the team has there is zero chance of change.
Honestly, do you think Hayes is a starter? He was benched multiple times in the season and is the 12 man on the bench. You think the Nuggets can’t handle him. He has played, In the minutes he has played he has done nothing offensively or defensively.
@@jnachtig2 I’m not saying start him, but if AD went down, who’s next in line? Hayes has started and would start. My suggestion is when you make your first sub, bring Hayes in with some size. You could play all 3 for 10-20 mpg and it would make a difference. It’s a different ball game contending with AD or Hayes at the rim than anyone else. DEN knows this and they’re spamming it. It’s why despite having one of the best rebounders, we consistently get outrebounded. If playing him doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work. But Hams coaching lifeline is on the edge and his dumba$$ won’t exhaust all resources. Many coaches in NBA history have stepped outside of norm when need be. We’re talking about 11 straight losses. You gotta do SOMETHING different.
@@Beliefacy I agree that’s part of it. But it’s still no excuse that in a tall man’s game, Ham will play the shortest dudes but won’t play the tallest.
Yea I have looked at some stats....the nuggets have rpg lead by almost 10 per game. The lakers actually have the edge in fg% despite Denver being clearly a better half court offense. The biggest killer for the lakers have been the rebounds. Some minutes from Hayes would definitely help. Not like rui and dlo shooting lights out. Think game 4 will come down to rebounds again. If lakers can keep that close they can win a game or 2
Did anybody see Draymond Green's Podcast were he stated that the Warriors noticed a statistic on Jokic that Denver lost around 80% of their games where Jokic had 6 or fewer assists. So he said to beat Denver, they focused on stoping back cuts and stuff like that which made Jokic get fewer assists.
At one point in 2020 bubble, the Lakers found a solution how to stop the Nuggets, and that was making Jokic a scorer instead of having so many assists.
@@Summer-vu5kw How many easy layups/dunks did Gordon alone have in game 3 with the aging Queen "guarding" him? 🤔🤣
@@kaferratur so emotional and Bron is in ur head big time bra 😭😭
Wish lakers would have just took Mike Conley in that trade last year 😢
So he can be under utilized by Darvin Ham sandwich no
This team is not bad. Only 3 real issues: coaching change, health (Vando), and enforcer bigman.
"This team is not bad." 😑🤣Were in 9th spot pretty much all season & needed play in just to make playoffs & have lost 11 straight to Nuggets...but this team is not bad. 😜😂
@@kaferratstill a bad roster.
@kaferrat Dude, the west is good. The Lakers finished the season 12 games over .500. That's a good record in almost any seasons. Also, they've had major injuries the entire season. They were a top 5 defense when Vando was healthy.
Was a huge Lakers fan in the Kobe era. I’m getting really tired of this Lebron era that costs us so much and doesn’t produce enough.
It puts so much pressure on the franchise like he’s done to every other team he’s been on. He needs to take less money and let the Lakers get more help.
Can’t wait for this to be over and move on to a new era.
The Kobe era spoiled us for sure. There will never be another Kobe era for LA fans. LBJ and AD gave us 1 ring in six years…however, those years brought more heartache than good.
Why do you guys blame players and not the front office who are making these moves boggles my mind? It’s not Lebron or AD fault for hiring terrible coaches and get players who can’t shoot and disappear in the playoffs. Kobe had it good with players and coach and the front office.
Kobe was in the lottery his last 3 years and afterwards lebron dragged yall out the mud and won yall a chip
Yea but Kobe had his downtime too and remembered when we blew a 3-1 lead to the suns ?? I was devastated! We got Bron in his twilight years unfortunately. A 2018-Bron would’ve destroyed this Nuggets team. He would’ve annihilated but unfortunately the youngsters are playing like it’s a do or die.
@@nickwarren7854still a 10x better and more successful era than the LBJ era. Any *laker* fan will agree. Doesn’t matter what bron did 1 out of 6 years. He brought us Westbrick and traded our young, future talent. Good riddance
If the lakers lose, Coach Ham has to go.
He has to go, regardless of what happens
@@sebfrett4004not if we win the chip
@@sebfrett4004He can stay if we win the series
aka.. when Hams fly
lol
@@jaybarot7200dude just stop it. 12 losses in a row coming up
You talking about championship goofy
"When" when the lakers lose Ham has to go
I give you kudos for getting on this live after every game, even after terrible losses..I couldn’t do it. Lol
They will show us Pride and win this game 🎉 Go Lakers ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽
Darvin needs a miracle to save his job.
No saving still fire him
I wouldn’t start Hayes, but I do believe he could be a huge difference maker. I’ve put the numbers out there. We’re getting banged 280-247 FGA 145-116 TReb, and 38-18 Oreb. These rebounds are leading to DEN having 10-15 more shots than us per game. Of course you’ll lose unless EVERYTHING goes perfect. Malone over there laughing on the inside like these stupid mofos.

Because I’ll tell another thing, DEN cannot stop us offensively. It’s wild to me that in a tall man’s game, Ham will religiously go small, but won’t even TRY to go big. A$$ backwards. That’s why his coaching job is on a thread.
I think Not!💀His job is Not safe!😵💫
It's nice to dream but probably too late for a miracle. Ham should go.
I don’t expect them to win the series. But plz don’t get swept this time!
Bruh they’re getting swept
Thank you big boss❤
Let’s GO LAKERS!!! But I’m stress free now… Playoffs seems to be getting spicy too. Can’t wait for next season.
Just let the pain go away. Pull the life support tonight. Not trying to get my hopes up. See y’all next year. Have a great Summer.
🥹
Lakers gotta get this win. Back to back sweeps by Denver will go down in Lakers history.
Bad History
@@Lakerfanforlife The aging Queen can add that to his illustrious resume...back to back sweeps. 😜🤣
With commentary like this...I think Big Trev needs to give the Lakers a pep talk PRE GAME!🤣💪🏾❤️
I’m just hoping we can be the team that comes back holding out hope til the end . We’ll see
Fire Sale! Everything must go!
Remember when the lakers could’ve acquired Mike Conley ??Lakers so stuck on names & it’s not always about that
Why Attack Rob Pelinka ? These same people attacking him were Probably Praising him after he made trades.
When Trevor brought up Vogel making adjustments in the 2020 playoffs I shed a tear 😢
Vogel had his issues too but he was a good coach
I think most of us cried it out after game twos tragic loss. That game sealed the season. Most of us are okay with ending the season tonight and rebuilding.
Yeah
This series was over when Ham was chosen as Lakers coach.
Who else could’ve coached this team after how the staff fired frank Vogel nobody wanted to be apart of this toxic fan base
Even tho Ik this series is over but I still have a feelings that we can turn it around. These games have not been blow outs i think we are just one good play away from victory.
They haven’t been blowouts because Denver only turns it on when they have to at the end. They’re conserving energy for a deep run.
It’s coaching, we’re not so overmatched that we can’t win, but our coach is in WAY over his head, they hired a rookie coach with no history of championship pedigree to coach what was supposed to to be a championship level roster. Just the fact that the current starting five is like 20-8 since being put together and at one point in the season Ham had 3 of those guys coming off the bench…AT THE SAME TIME. I can’t entirely say Ham is the reason why we are losing to Denver, but he is the reason we’re the 7th seed and not the 2nd or 3rd seed, blew too many games trying to make sure his boys Cam and Taurean got their required 30 minutes
That's why I'm torn on winning tonight. If we push to 6 games and that saves Darvin I hate that idea.
@@gaberox1 Don’t worry they’re not winning tonight. They raised the white flag in a must-win game 3
Come on Lakers! Show some pride!!
D'LO HAD A GREAT SEASON!?!?!? Does Trevor realize that basketball is playing offense AND defense???? Shooting the ball well doesn't negate the face he put ZERO EFFORT, AND I DO MEAN ZERO effort on defense
He's saying this because he was one of the geniuses, sarcasm, saying keep dlo when he was shooting lights out before tradeline. I stand on me wanting to get rid of the bum earlier this year.
Finally…someone that actually watches the game. D Lo is terrible. He can do one…thing…. Shoot! He can’t even get himself in position to get a shot. Nothing else. Zero D. Low basketball IQ. Wants to be Hollywood.
Trevor, did you just say that the Lakers issue is only…mental.?🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
What an embarrassing moment for the Lakers. Because of their horrible mistakes after that bubble championship. So many mistakes. I hope this won't continue next season. It's frustrating how fast we rise and fall .
Mitchell/LBJ/AD just makes sense to me..
Not enough
@@youngreshaud3792 We needed Vando he is our defensive superstar but bring n Mitchell without letting nobody go put AR own da bench 6 man go get a Andrew Drummond
Mitchell is a terrible shit sélectionner though
Phil Handy. The Lakers players obviously love and respect him. They talk to Handy and ignore Ham.
Handy's too smart to want the Laker job with the current roster and cap situation.
It's heartbreaking seeing this team play, but I will have faith in them until the bitter end! Go Lakers 🟣🟡
🔥 FIRE 🔥 HAM 🔥
I can't understand how DLO continues to crumble every playoffs.
Playoff physicality is too much for him. He does not do well with contact and avoids at all cost. That's ok during the regular season but in the playoffs you gotta be prepared for the game to get much faster and physical.
@@marcusgomez5056 Trevor going on how much he likes DLo knowing how much he sucks during playoff time. 🙄🤣 Just like his love for Reaves who is a traffic cone on D. 😑😂
Trev said Dlo possibly dropping 40 in a heater game 😆😆😆 man the fact you said 40 almost had me block this page 😭😭☠️
It was kind of fun seeing the delusion for the first couple games, but now it is just sad
@bigballer6666 yeah it's bad at this point and his nonchalant attitude is not good either.
@@bigballer6666right 😂
On the other hand, DLO can easily choke and end up with a single digit. Re-sign and trade!
Let’s go #CWood go #LakeShow
Taking us out of our misery 😅lmaooo just sub ham out for the pop corn guy
I just really hope this is a learning curve for us. I know every year we are at a contender expectation due to offseason trades and or picking up good players to help LeBron and AD. But to me it feels we lack the hunger of some other teams like Minnesota with Edward’s etc… Still though this team has the ability to play amazing it just depends on role players and or 3rd best or 4th best guys to give you consistent production in the regular season and playoffs.
Lebron needs to leave and go back to Cleveland
The #1 key for tonight’s game is HEART!!! As in, they need to have some
Listening to Draymond Green's podcast, he had some good points from when they played Denver. Focus was for jokic not to get more than six assist and also when the bench people come in you have to punish them
Just an FYI. The Warriors lost ever game to the Nuggets both this year and last year. They have won the last 7 and 10 of the last 11
@@jnachtig2 well what he was talking about was when they beat them in the playoffs two years ago
@@bigblackjohnnymac9409 that was a team without Murray, MPJ or KCP. It is not the nuggets of today
@@jnachtig2 Correct, Jokic was passing to Will Barton, Facu, and another very small guard- I forget his name
Let’s go lakers, we are winning tonight
Just to go back to Denver and lose? I think they’re waving the white flag tonight.
Lakers need a real big man to play center then everyone else can do what they do easier..
Lakers in 7 man let’s get it 🔥
Nice T’s Mr. Lane
we need to get big! just like what we are in the bubble!!
We already have a replacement for Dlo if he walks. His name is Austin Reaves. Move AR back to point guard and put Max Christie in at the 2.
frank vogel???they are also down 0 3 fyi
Come on Trevor!

One game at a time...Lakers are not over-matched! We can get this done!

💜💜💛💛
Im tired of overhauling our roster. Can we stop trying to build around a 40 year old player. What sense does that make? I am ready for the next era of Lakers basketball.
It makes sense when that 40 year old is still a top 5 playoff basketball player with a.d who is DOMINANT and have proven they can win a chip together. They basically outplayed Murray and joker in this series so far?? It can be debated but u don't rebuild when they are on ur team and ur an idiot if u do maybe the dumbest person in the world
I like your shirt trevor! Go lakers! Give us just 1 win…. Just 1 plsssss
I just can’t believe this is happening 🤦🏽♂️
Enjoy the sweep tonight.
Trev “I like D’ Angelo Russell”……yeah right 😮
This game will honestly be the least stressful because I’ve already given up on winning the series.
Bright side… lakers either make history or Ham gets fired. Win win
It’s over Trevor! Nobody is helping Lebron and AD and Darvin won’t even change the lineup knowing these dudes scared.Its time for Rui, D Lo and Austin and Ham to go!! Overpaid Rui and Austin! This what happens when you don’t give Lebron what he want
We need a coach like the old Chuck Daly
#DLO better step up tonight go #LakeShow
As a lakers fan, they nuggets need to sweep our team.
Yes! It will guarantee Ham is gone and there is a rebuild. Otherwise Lakers front office may be stupid enough to say “see, we figured out how to beat them! Ham can capitalize next season!”
You can 100% bet on that
Lakers in 7...it all starts tonight!
It’s a wrap. Everyone enjoy your summer.
We better fight till we can’t get up we’re the Lakers the best franchise in the NBA.
No we’re not the Celtics are
Let it go the lakers already booked flights for their early vacation
Why don't they put Max Christy in the game
Because our dumbass coach loves 3 guard lineups and sticking to whats not working
@@SANDMAN_7i swear bro…
i was confused as to why we didn’t play hayes at all either, he’s a great player
I love you lakers nation. It’s been a long year and we’ve been loyal . We all have to work harder to give our team the spirit. As a fan base the energy is connected , I truly believe that . Our team is a reflection of us . We have to do work on our own paths and watch how our team gets back on track
Back to Denver just to listen to choruses of "Who's yo Daddy?" ??? No thank you, I've had sufficient.
Have a great summer guys, see ya in october
If the lakers mentally get right. It’s a wrap. You can really do anything if you really put your mind in it
That’s the problem fencer killed us mentally
Lakers need a physical big, I know Hayes is a athletic type but he is what we have use him and his 6 fouls. The Delo thing is wierd he must of been under pressure with the trade stuff but in the play oofs he struggled bad.
We’re done for 😢
It’s over. Looking forward to the new coaching search
agree there’s no chance. but two sweeps in a row? i’m torn between keeping our team injury free or avoid another sweep. 💜💛
Like going to a funeral today. Time to watch something else!
I just can’t watch this last game the frustration and constant let down too much and even if they by some miracle man up and win , no way are they gonna win this series this team doesn’t have the fight in them. Only thing I can look forward to is a Ham firing and I hope a rebuild as well
Awaiting the Darvin Ham firing following tonight's loss.
I believe ham will stay, they can’t have coaches in and out every two years. They have to eventually give someone a chance to grow into their job

i wonder if we can just forfeit...save us further embarrassment of losing by 30 tonight...lookin forward to the offseason
Lakers Nation Believe me or not LAKERS will WIN tonight. I saw it and this will become a HARD fight to the end for the Lakers FANS. 👑
It is sad but there is no hope. It is over
Lebron it's Not Just Basketball , it's your life's work and your Legacy
CAN WE JUST WIN ONE F'ING GAME?!? COME ON!!!
Ham can you please play big. Just once. Play AD + Hayes and LBJ at the same time. Run the LBJ/AD PnR and let Hayes clean up and be a lengthy body on AG. Please…. TRY IT.
Lets get this back to back sweep over with. I made my peace with my Lakers this post season. I along with the rest of the real lakers fans already went threw the pain of defeat after the bullshit game 2 ending
Never say never but my God at some point you gotta stop lying to yourself. The answer is right in front of you, slapping you left and right with L and took your heart out.
Does anyone’s opinion change if we would have gotten to the WCF to face Denver and the supporting cast had good games even game winning games but just didn’t play well against this matchup?
