Bro Zion really played well today Respect
He played great but man, really have to question durability
The refs played well
Zion is HIM. He wants to prove how good he is but injuries r a curse
I don’t care what anyone says Zion had No help this game he had 40 and yet people are still blaming him and not his teammates, it is just crazy
He had a great game for sure but dude still constantly getting injured
I mean that's literally what happens to every other best player on a team. What makes him special?
Bro the refs are always helping the lakers. They have the most free throw differencial in the league and the second one ain't even close.
@@FrankDBoyceif he had any help he wouldn’t get injured the man literally carried them all season he just ran out of gas which caused him to get hurt
Lakers had DOUBLE free throw than the pelicans, the NBA is rigged.
this the zion everyone expected
Injured yes.
@@fightnight14That was towards the end of the game.
😩😩😩
Amazing
You weirdos wake up hating 😂@@fightnight14
Ingram, McCollum and Valanciunas COMBINED for 24 points! PATHETIC 👎🏾
Forcing Zion to carry and ultimately get hurt just to lose. I’m mad for Zion. He knew they were going to lose too when he was leaving the court.
Amazing feelings right?)))
the agony of defeat@@timbaylan2846
EWWWWWWWWWW
ONLY 24? AD AND LEBRON HACHIMARA A D’LO HAD MORE THEN THAT LAST GAME AND PROB THIS GAME
Zion was amazing tonight. Really sucks that he got injured near the end of the game.
I really, really want to watch this version of Zion in the playoffs. I hope he's OK.
Haaha pwersa tuhod hahaha
Mafia game
Coming from a LAL fan Zion played his heart out and I was sad to see him go out like that and he was so frustrated and upset. If he played the rest of the game I could've seen this going into an overtime and NOLA having the momentum swing and ultimately beating us. Good game Zion and NOLA y'all did a great job giving LAL and fans multiple heart attacks.
Anthony "10 pts tonight, 40 pts tomorrow" Davis back at it again...
Hey, that's a good thing. We need that 40 against the Nuggets!
He had 20, although it was on poor shooting.
DaytoDayvis..
He had 20 and 15….. you buggin

Very nice and timely edit, thanks 🙏🏽

Jokic has shot more free throws than everyone on the Lakers team except AD.

@@focuz4899 thats awful for joker
@@focuz4899 keep crying
@@beggbasso287 Crying? I'm just stating a fact.
The crazy thing about Zion is that, despite being the brawniest player by far, he also happens to be one of the quickest (lateral) ones and almost certainly with the softest touch. Pure silk.
Where’s the idiot guy who said laker’s will allow to lose this game just not to face nuggets 😂
Lmao where he at
It would be harder to face the nuggets in the next round than the first round
lmao refs didn't know though so they doubled them up on free throws 😂
Pelicans has a higher chance of defeating Denver in playoffs tbh. Denver just got an easy 4-0 win
How can they lose zion out last 3mins...is Ingram also out?
Zion go crazy
Zion with the clutch injury. Wow!
Zion: 40 PTS | 5 AST | 11 REB Lebron: 23 PTS | 9 AST | 9 REB | 1W💎
The injury was the difference. They couldn’t stop Z.
@@geoffreynicholson1984 no caps 💯
As a Nuggets fan I'm not getting cocky. LA aint no joke. We gotta be on our A game
CJ and BI getting benched is most crucial time is so funny🤣 they dont deserve to be in the Playoffs
Zion stats 🔥: 40 PTS 11 REB 5 AST 1 L
Well, and an injury. They couldn’t stop him otherwise
Watch out for the Lakers in these playoffs
NBA, I can't get enough of your content, so I subscribed!
LeBron disappeared in the 4th quarter. Fortunately, Lakers got a solid overall team with guys that can make big plays.
I mean that's kind of LeBron's thing to disappear in the 4th. Dude has made a habit out of it and people still ride his jock strap lol
Lakers best team in the west
Great game!! Highly competitive, Congratulations Lakers, LeBron James dominant as always, Zion was really impressive, he’s got a bright future for sure. 👏👏👏👏
What a crazy game
Lakers FREE THROWS. Observe how many more they get vs the opposition. Never gamble on their games.

I wish you wouldn't show the final result in the thumbnail. For me, part of the fun is watching your "insane ending" videos and having the suspense of who will win until the very end!
Honestly, if Zion hadn’t get injured I think the Pelicans would be the winners
ngl they need 2018 lebron, 2016 AD , Brooklyn dlo to even match the nuggets
Just 2018 bron is enough
Also need Vincent and Dinwiddie to play some lock down defence on Murray, jokic is gonna cook AD regardless but it’s when Murray goes off that everything falls apart
@@lukehernando1493 He’s actually playing competition this year so no lol

@@queniegica1617no violation
@@queniegica1617 You never played organized ball in your life lmao.
@@queniegica1617 if it's violation? then why a 21 years pro will do? think again.
Brandon Ingram didn’t look happy on the bench. Why wasn’t he playing? If he was benched because he was having a bad shooting night, the coach has to let him play through that.
LeGendary Bron he gave everything this game even he 39 yrs old💪🐐
Bring on the nuggets go Lakers
Wish you didn't show the final score in the thumbnail but Yeah, crazy ending
Feels like the coach sat BI and Zion for a reason: the Nuggets. No one noticed it but it made them not have much of a threat on the floor
Bring back 60fps
Idc if BI was 0/10 he needs to be on the court the final 4 mins especially wit no Zion
Nice one again Lakers lakeshow ❤ Long live the KING LBJ 👑... #23
To God be the glory!7x
Sheeeeesh😊❤
Zion, the leader of our people, true MVP
3:10 He made a NBA professional premier defender look like his teenage Son getting schooled by his father while playing in the backyard 😂😂😂
All those celebrations just to be swept again😂
yeah all that talk to be a slave of your company😂😂
i surely go back to this comment if it's the other way around
Zion killed it. If he played till the end don’t know if my Lakers would have survived. Respect to Zion and hope he’s ok. Sucks to lose a player like that.
Mafia game
I hope the Lakers keep this squad together and go into next year healthy. We can win two or 3 in a row in this leagues competition
Wakakak....slowdown man . 😮😮😮
2:09 that a good help defense,and the ref called it a foul,
Even if Lakers wanted to lose this game to avoid playing Nuggets, they woulda lost to Kings. They cannot beat Kings all year. So best to take the win to get into the playoffs. Lakers may get lucky and beat Nuggets in 7 but doubt it.
The play-in is a different story. Yes, they have not beaten the Kings all year. But in a one-game situation, who says that they couldn't have chnaged that?
They seriously won’t make it to game 6.
Those 4 last free throws for Austin Reeves and Anthony Davis were impressive. Those are not easy free throws, when tired, on the road, playing the same team twice, in a elimination game.
The Hate for Lakers.Next season They will be better
zion was better than lebron and davis combined. crazy.
Lbj old but never give up
AD was doing his John cena impression in this game!
Okay, here is what I don't get, why is Larry Nance in instead of Ingram or Val?
Lefraud gets so lucky every single time. I'm not sure why. But he will never be the best cause he never has to face the best.
He beat a 73-9 team. A dynasty team
he literally faced the best ever :))
I think you should go and play professional basketball and find out. Easy to say but very difficult to be on top for last 2 decades.
@@jatinthakur6865 I did. Played college BB. Have you played? I respect Lebron for two decades. But Kareem and Jordan did it before him and better.
Okey it's your POV but mine is different
lowkey hoped lakers lost so they didn't have to face nuggets first round
If you want to be the champ you Need to beat the champ! Nuggest are Extremely Dangerous team they beat so many times Lakers but.....
Why y’all pelicans fans mad we going to the playoffs.I’m sorry we can’t lose on purpose

You can't go into the playoffs ducking smoke. That fosters a losers mindset. Don't duck nobody ever!
I think lebron don’t respect Zion yet, it’s damn near like how it was with bron and Jordan , it’s always tough love
Im more interested on why Ingram wasnt in the game. He did not look happy about that.
So a Laker's charge not called at the 1.58 mark. Leflop bailed out of his brick by a bad foul against Davis. Refs handed the Lakers that game. Again.
Zion getting injured during crunch time let the air out of the Pelicans.
What happened to zion. Why did he leave?
Nah Why Zion got up from his seat & threw the sweat towel on the floor like a Kid being told from his mom “ Its time to go home now we will come back to the park tomorrow “ 😭
Mafia game
i respect the lakers for not avoiding the nuggets
Now its the start. Let's see what this Lakers team can do against the reigning champions. 🙏
4:13 yeah cus thats not a foul on reaves on the drive by alvarado and charge for herb
29 free throws and barely win and people think they can step to the Nuggets. Sports fans really do be stupid
Nobody really thinks the Lakers can beat the Nuggets in a 7 game series, even Lakers fans. If Jokic gets injured, they might have a chance.
They very likely could if silver tells the refs to quadruple their freethrows attempts over the nuggets 😂
Your comment shows that you’re the real idiot
I bet you think Purdue only got to the final because of the refs
king king king!
Finally lakers make 7th seeds on this game
Win a ring for the king
Lakers haven’t won. Team Pelicans lost in the moment when they didn’t help Zion when got hurt. Everything is fine because Zion is 23 years old and Ingram came back from injury. Lakers where average but this game is epic in the history of New Orleans. It’s equal with the nice Jazz halfmooncity gave us in the early 20th century. For me best Lakers was Austin Reaves. Lakers are that good because they understand to keep LeBron out when necessary. Thank you both headcoaches and both menships on the court 🫡. Everybody highly welcome. Special thank to intendant pelicans breaking show elements. Very high Niveau in nba comparison. I like the Pelicans very much. Very nice Pelican Logo design ❤.
Lakers are going to get dismantled by the Nuggets unless they play way better than this or get awarded 20 free throws more than the Nuggets in every game.
Wembalicious is ROTY AND DPOY. He's should've been MVP too if only the Spurs aren't tanking
Damn I miss Chick Hearn!!!
