LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers Eliminated From Playoffs, and Fans Have Jokes
04/06/2022 05:29 pm EDT
Eliminated
One fan said: "It's actually a relief because it was torture just watching the Lakers hang by hair thin threads trying to rely on their glory days from 2 yrs ago. Then having to hear excuse after excuse on why they "deserve" to be in the playoffs or are a better team than their record."
The Shining Moment
Another fan said: "Any realistic Laker fan should've known this season was doomed to begin with when we used our roster spots on Bazemore, DJ, and Nunn and that horrendous trade for Russ. I can't believe y'all actually had expectations for this team when it was badly built to begin with."
Failure
One Twitter user wrote: "Truth be told, they played a total of 13 games together for an average of 4.9 MIN per game...That's not enough to even consider making an impact. AD is 100% correct in his statement!"
Not Good History
Another person tweeted: "The league gets more and more competitive as the years pass. The Lakers have won damn near 23% of the championships played during that time. Missing the playoffs here and there is ok. Lil SWOT analysis and theyll be right back in contention for another championship next season."
Fake Championship
One fan responded: "As a Lakers fan, it absolutely doesn't count, much like that dodger title. Lebron could pick whoever he wanted to come to LA, he chose Russ. He's not a GM but has the same authority of one, didn't work. I hope he moves on Lakers are in a BAD spot."
New Show?
One fan stated: "This might be the biggest disaster in NBA history. Even the Dwightmare season ended in a playoff berth."
Straight Laughter
And this fan wrote: "Lakers elimination tonight, brought to you by the Phoenix Suns (and also the Nuggets and Spurs we know you were in on this...)"
