If the West was so tough, how come the East still don't have a series completed yet.

3 of their 4 teams have advanced while the East still got a 2-2 series and three 3-1 series going on  ???


lol you literally asked if lakers would win this series 40 hours ago. Little humility my dude, you been pumping them all season and we all said they were solid but not a contender.

He does live in LA I think, so probably a self defense mechanism to having to show up to work with Faker fans  :police:

Yea I have to deal with that everyday lol. I told y'all the Nuggets would beat 'em 8)

Lakers were good this season; they would be a #3 or #4 seed in the East up there with the Bucks or Cavs. Till next year.

That was easier to take than 4-0.

Prioritized Goals:
1)   Lakers win title
2)   Celtics do not win title
3)   Clippers do not win title

Congratulations on not getting swept.  They can raise a banner for that like the in season tournament 😆.
Yup

If the West is so tough, why couldn't teams put up enough of a fight to stretch the series? Sounds like the lower seeds like the Lakers and Suns shouldn't have made the playoffs

maybe because the best teams in the East aren't as good so the series are closer

You can’t be serious?
The suns were swept in the west and probably make the conference finals in the east. Same with the lakers.
East is opening up to be the easiest path to the finals I’ve ever seen for the Celtics. Nuggets are about to have to play the wolves in the second round. We will get the cavaliers or magic. Huge difference.

The Miami Heat's blowout loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday came with a potentially longer-lasting effect: a possible injury to rookie forward Jaime Jaquez Jr.

"Just my right hip. I felt something give at the beginning of the third quarter going up for a rebound," Jaquez shared. "I tried to give it everything I had.

Ham gotta get ax at LA but James will never take the blame..he always wanted his pick players & don’t take a pay cut to get better players..but he won in season tournament so that’s something 😂😂😂

While AD and the other Lakers briefly congratulated and shook hands with the Nuggets players, LeCrybaby just pouted off into the locker room. Sore loser.

LAL had a slight chance to push it to 6 but I will say, I didn't think Denver played that well in the series and they still gentlemen swept the Lakers. Crazy if you ask me.

I'll admit that I really have no idea if Darvin Ham is a bad coach or not.  I don't watch the lakers enough.

It does bug me though when pundits pick an underdog and when they're wrong, they blame the coach on their national platform.

Nick Wright and Kevin O'Connor are two that come to mind.  I'm not sure if KOC outright picked the lakers but he was definitely in the they could definitely pull it off camp.

I don't have a problem with the take but rather the blaming the coach that they were wrong.  It just seems to stink of taking a contrarian view to appear smart if it works out but not taking any accountability if wrong.
