    One of the Announcers on ESPN said at the end of the game that the Lakers were in 11th place with 11 games left in the Season..

    I would like to see Rui on Gordon a lot. Not sure we start Vando - to guard Gordon or Porter? Putting him on Murray - great, but D LO can’t guard Murray, or Porter. So AR on him and D Lo on KCP? Bron will have to defend the 3 - Porter and KCP. He will sag off Gordon.

    I'm not in on this all being gravy from here on out. We have the best team and need to win this. We have huge advantages. No team has an answer for Lebron and AD. These are two all-time greats playing high level. We have the roster to play pretty much any style and still be really good, our role players are not intimidated by the moment and we have the best defense. I think the team has a lot of confidence knowing we can shut other teams down when needed. Not sure how but I almost forgot about another big edge. Ham is out coaching the opposition in the playoffs so far. He was my biggest concern coming into the playoffs and he has been incredible. The team has steam coming out their noses and ears. We are still jelling. Our best ball is still to come.

    It's loudest sections in the Staples,sorry still can't call it Crypto..
    There is some sections with actual music and drums.At least it was during NHL playoffs games.
    Just don't go in PR sections even if you can afford tickets

    Thanks! I was thinking about getting tickets today but I just saw there is a pre-sale this coming Monday. Level 300 is expensive for me just being a lebron/Kobe fan lol. I’m in the area for the week so I thought I might as well catch a game. I just hope the money don’t out weigh the cost experience.

    It's WCF.Even in Denver ticks in 300 section are close to 300 $
    But to see buzzer beater by Kobe from Ozark is priceless for everything else there's Mastercard LOL

    Just depends on your expectations. 300's is nosebleeds, if you're used to nosebleeds, it'll be fine, the atmosphere is still great, but the action on the court looks small and kinda far away, but you'd be going for the experience. Looking at a seating chart of Toyota Center, I'm guessing that Crypto 300's are higher than Toyota 400's, but their capacity is pretty close, 20k vs 19k, so maybe it's similar.

    Yeah, I’m used to sitting pretty close at the rockets games. I already had a full trip planned in LA this would just be a bonus.

    The Laker disrespect, clowns haha. I don’t care that they doubted it, I care that Jefferson acts like the very idea hurt his soul, NO other team but the Lakers would get this reaction.

    300 section, the best fans are there so you’ll get good atmosphere and vibes. But don’t expect to get a good view of the game from here, unless you’re in the first few rows of the section. Also seats are tight, you might be bumping knees/shoulders with your neighbor.

    Welcome!

    A playoff game is a great experience. But I would not buy nosebleed seats at Crypto. Last time I went I had top row seats and just watched the whole game on the big screen above the court. I don't know how high 300 section is.

    Yeah with that contract good luck with that without getting bent over like everyone thought the Lakers would be to get rid of Russ, until the Pelinka miracle.

    I wonder if we adjust the starting lineup by bringing in Rui for Dlo sometime over the series.

    Vando on Murray
    Reaves on KCP
    Rui on MPJ
    Lebron on Gordon
    AD on Jokic

    I feel like we have the size to bother them. Hopefully Tristan Thompson gets some run and just try’s to play Jokic physical.

    The Lakers are a really bad matchup for DEN, but I’m reserving my optimism.
    They don’t make many mistakes, they have size & you can’t rush Jokic.
