[@bricelexton6816]

I’ve been thinking about scheduling the 2020 season from first game to last due to not watching a single Mavs game ( 44 years in DFW ) or any other for that matter ; couldn’t even tell you who the Late Show played in the Finals but without a doubt I could wisely say that Luka cried and pouted and stomped up and down as his hissy fit would continue under our basket while T.H. and J.B. struggle to play 4 on 5 at the other end of the court . After that , it’s all a mystery ( of course except for the Late Show getting it done . This will be kinda cool . Congrats Late Show . ; )

One of the few years of watching the NBA where I watched almost, if not, every game of the season. The hype from getting AD in the offseason and seeing them try to win the chip was one of the most exciting times of being an NBA fan.

[@Lobos00]

True that. People don’t understand how much it payed off in the end to be a lakers fan that year regardless of COVID and the lockdowns. From the first few games being lost to the clippers, people started to doubt this team around christmas. I won so many bets by the post season you wouldn’t believe how many people still thought the clippers or bucks would win it all that year

[@BigTimeBruh]

People wanna say the bubble wasn’t legit but they forget the Lakers were absolutely dominant prior to covid

[@ChyeahWill]

You're absolutely right. They had the best record in the league heading into the bubble. They also beat the Clippers and Bucks back to back, which for me, solidified them as favourites to win the chip. They absolutely deserved to be champions. Full stop

Dwight, McGee and AD were alley oop machines for the Lakers, all the ball handler had to do was throw it up after a pick and roll for an easy dunk

[@Westbrook__]

I will never understand teams blowing up their rosters of winning a chip. This team was amazing.

[@thefixer2k951]

Well, i see him that Pelinka wanted to make a younger roster due to small ball... He got younger legs like Schroder, Harrell and two solid veterans like Matthews and Gasol but these last two players werent the players once were even as role or key players. Schroder came to make it easier to Lebron, being the main PG but that wasn't his role at all. That was too much for him. His role with Ham was the best for him, off bench and being a stopper making clutch plays. Harrel, was athletic but lack of post defense, size and rebounding. In the other hand, Rondo and Bradley didnt want to renew with the Lakers seeking a better contract. One other thing, before the injury plague these roster was 21-6 at some point... which means healthy they were pretty good but then once LJ and AD got injured, everything started to going down. Schroder didnt step it up and there was no plays at all for Kuzma. We got Drummond but was too late for him because the urgency was already at its peak. So i blame for this things.. 1. Injuries and 2. Some not great additions to have a depth bench like Matthews or Gasol. 3. Schroder wasn't the kind of guy to get the job done a second or first attacking option. He choked like he does, thats him. Should've kept their 2020 champion roster? Yes but with adding a few new additions but that just my opinion.
