[riverman]

Why does every non-balding Laker have the same shitty mini-braids?

acid rain in LA

 

[illmatic99]

fun way to end the season.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurkic has been so bad...

Compared to Meyers he has been an all star

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go CJ... one more strong push

 

[illmatic99]

The Lakers aren't good enough to win the title. That's the solace that I'm taking from this series.

not even sure they get past the second round

 

[KSF-ERIC]

LeBron and AD have both made 4 threes. And somehow we're in this.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Lakers aren't good enough to win the title. That's the solace that I'm taking from this series.

No, they aren't. They having trouble with a horribly injured team. They get the Rockets next, what a gift. They won't win the trophy though

 

[James lamphear]

Hi, my name is jusuv nurkic, and i can't shoot for shit

Is shot goes a little bit off when he tired. But stat line beside is pretty good.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Nurkic is horrible.

 

[bobf]

Hi, my name is jusuv nurkic, and i can't shoot for shit

Yet he shoots better than Melo inside if 10 feet.

 

[riverman]

CJ has played every minute of this game.....guys really fought tonight

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurk is useless in this new era

 

[James lamphear]

Bad turnover right there.

 

[julius]

And that's the game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Two bad turnovers at a really bad time.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

4 minutes down 9?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We're 13/25 from three and losing.

 

[illmatic99]

fun while it lasted, oh well.

 

[Darkwebs]

This is starting to look like the end.

Is our season really over? Has the fat lady sung? Or is that just @THE HCP in a wig?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Really good effort. We had 9 guys and two of them committed 5 fouls in less than 15 min (Whiteside/Hezonja). Score was not indicative of how competitive the game was. Ant and Hoard played really well i thought and Nurk was good until he got exhausted late, which is to be expected. Good season, the bubble was a fun ride.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh well. We'll always have the bubble play-in games. On to the draft!

 

[riverman]

Purple and piss free throw practice from here on out.....was a fun bubble while it lasted!

 

[bobf]

Nice unselfish kick out Ant.

 

[BigGameDamian]

So what do you guys think about Brett Brown?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Too much Anthony Davis dunking. This sucks. This is like the 6th straight playoff series lost to Lakers. I'm sick of this shit.

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Go home and love your families and make a difference! Riverman is a fan!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

So what do you guys think about Brett Brown?

I know what Sixers fans think.

 

[MickZagger]

Whitesides gone. Just read his body language. Primadonna

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Go Blazers! Go home and love your families and make a difference! Riverman is a fan!

This again.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

I wouldn't mind bringing Carmelo back if it's a friendly contract. If he'd take the min and would buy into a bench role then sure why not. Good riddance Whiteside.
