Lakers 2.0 - The failed reboot of the NBA's crown jewel

One of the stories was how Rob Pelinka, their GM, had Kobe eat lunch with Heath Ledger after the movie came out....even though he was already dead.

Well good. Maybe not everyone and their grandma wants to play for the Lakers. Tired of these uber-mega-super teams.

Nicely played Game 1 by the Raptors...

And even better, Drake wasn't an idiot during the game.

Dude's still weird. He's got Curry & KD's numbers tattooed on his arm, yet he's calling Draymond trash as he walks off the court after the loss.

FUCK DRAKE....

but

Toronto hasn't skipped a beat since STEAM ROLLING the Bucks for 4... Honestly even though I am disappointed Toronto knocked out the home team, I want them to win. Sick of seeing Golden State in it all the time. Kawhi deserves a ring for how well he has played.

Its not bad, You hate the disfunction going on. I can't say I'm a Lakers fan, although I did grow up watching them. but Jeanie needs to stop listening to her friends. I'm sure Dr Buss has rolled in his grave several times already.

Was looking like the Raptors had a great shot at winning and then...staked the Warriors to an 18-0 run to start the 3rd. WTF.

Still, Toronto did mount a furious comeback and almost made it back. Lots of fight in that team. Should be interesting when it swings over to Oakland next.

I think if they can steal one in Oakland they have a chance.

although I think Toronto is a formidable opponent for the warriors, Kawhi does not look healthy out there. hopefully he can keep it together.

Didn’t see the game, but did anyone besides Curry show up for GS?

Well, karma for trying to have an all-star for the ENTIRE roster.

Toronto is doing it with just basically 2ish all-stars (because it's debatable how much Gasol and Lawwwwwree are all-stars).

So I'm assuming KD is just going to be out the rest of the series. Some type of mind game with the day to day announcements instead of just saying he is going to sit?

Nicely done, Torronah. Let's see if they can close it out back home.

Don't rule out the Warriors though. They are still stacked IMO.

Hmm... id be ok if the Raptors win only because it would mean the first Chinese Asian American would have won an NBA championship ring... even thou Jeremy Lin played like a few seconds in game 3.

Durant is sitting out the rest of the series... No reason for him to potentially knock himself out for next year and being a free agent seeking the max. A partial tear can turn to full tear very easily and I don't see it being worth it for needing a miracle come back to win the championship.

I'm kinda banking on it?

Just don't see how the Raptors will take out the Western Conference All-Stars in 5.

If Durant is in, then Oakland Warriors in 7. Bye-bye, Toronnah.

I personally don’t think so. With the way the warriors have been playing. No way Durant is gonna change anything.

Plus he hasn’t played in 3 weeks.
