    Can't describe in words how happy I feel right now!

    Who do you want as the Laker opponent? And what does this moment mean to you?

    Very happy. It's time to finish the job, Bron will carry. Realistically, it doesn't matter who we play. I think Lakers playing against Boston is a stronger narrative than Bron vs Miami, but it's all good either way.

    Reflecting on how awful some of the starting lineups were in the 2010s, I am beyond ecstatic that they now have a chance to win it all. Unreal

    Feels like 2000 again after the almost decade drought from the ‘91 Finals. We have got to close this out. I don’t care who it is, but if it’s the C Bags I’m not sure my heart is gonna be able to take it. I don’t hate Miami, yet, but that C Bags hate is in my blood.

    We're long overdue.

    Doesn't matter who we draw. Denver is better than either of them. Think it'll be Miami. They've been the most focused team from the East in the bubble.

    I want the f*****g green scum. They’re the easier opponent and smashing them would be so satisfying!

    Years of taunts (ironically) from other fanbases about how dysfunctional the Lakers are, and how no superstar will ever join the Lakers again.

    Then we sign Bron, and they laugh that he is old and has no help.

    Then we land AD, and they laugh and say we gave up too much, and the Clippers are way better....

    I can’t believe the turnaround after just one year. I know the job ain’t done, but just looking at where this franchise was a year ago, this is incredible.

    Like LeBron keeps saying in interviews, this team hasn’t even been together that long, so the way they jelled and locked in as a team is incredible!!

    Give me the C Bags. That narrative just feels right and fitting if I'm being honest.

    I can't believe so many in the media controlled the narrative that:

    1 Bron is too old now
    2 AD was just getting stats in an obscure market with no pressure.

    I guess the joke is on everybody else now :)

    LOL at Rondo poking in from the side like he’s not supposed to be there and LeBron with the “I’ve been here 10 times” face.


    If only it was just the media. Some here were s******* on AD as trade packages were be reported for him, talking about he he’s never done anything in the playoffs or won when it matters. Like any team wins with one true star, just doesn’t happen, need 2 minimum.
