Series Thread: 1st Round: 2) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers

[bksballer89]

Lakers in 6. Reaves has stated that the Lakers are determined to end the Nuggies dominance over them beginning with this series.

They said that at the start of the season too then got swept in the season series lol

Are people not allowed to pick against the nuggets?

I mean they really shouldn’t in this series.

It’s been well documented and called out by multiple teams in the league about the Lakers whistle.

But sure, when 40 people are telling you one thing but you don’t wanna believe it, it’s them who are wrong. The Lakers just play harder than everyone else, that has to be it.

Also Denver has won 8 in a row vs LA including a sweep in the WCF and the season series this year, I’m not preparing for anything.

If you actually watch basketball you would know why the Lakers get to the line more than any other team.

I think this team is a little better than last years playoff team but even so, I don't see the Lakers winning any more than one or two against them.

If they get one in Denver however, things could change. But still, it probably won't happen.

Of course they can, but they should have legit reasons why they think that and not just ”I’m a homer”

Literally everybody that has picked the Lakers, has given a reason why.

Stop getting your panties in a twist.

Skip Bayless like 2 hours ago on Undisputed:

“I believe the basketball gods have tapped LeBron James on the shoulder. I believe they have blessed him. I believe the planets just aligned in ways I did not see coming.”

1. Skip isn't a Lakers homer. In the slightest.
2. Skip doesn't post on this site

You're getting butthurt because not everyone is picking your team.

Pretty sure the first requirement to say a sweep was not a blowout would be for it not to have been a sweep.

That makes literally no sense.

Well done I guess?

You‘re responding to a post where I said television analysts are being homers by picking the Lakers, when did I ever mention people on this site?

that’s what we’re talking about, for you to try to change the subject to “only people who post here” has zero bearing on what I’m talking about.

Literally nobody in here picked the Lakers and said "I am a homer."

 

[Duffman]

Literally nobody in here picked the Lakers and said, because "I am a homer."

Point to anywhere in my post where I was talking about people on this site? If you actually look, I said television analysts, that’s what I’m referring to so what you’re talking about has zero to do with what I’m talking about.

Do you know what a homer even is?

Are you seriously going to go with "Skip Bayless is a Lakers homer"?

Soooooo............Skip is a Lakers homer?

Is that what you are really going to hang your hat on?

Skip is a LeBron homer first and foremost. So whatever team LeBron is on, that’s what Skip gravitate towards.

You're either joking or trolling really badly

This isn’t 2018 anymore. Skip used to hate LeBron, that is no longer the case. He’s done a complete 180 I’d say these past 2 years.
