Please forgive me. I’m a NBA giganoob who started watching bc of Secret Base videos. I watch the Lakers bc Austin Reaves is my favorite player. I was extremely impressed with him in the playoffs last year and LeBron and AD are really fun to watch. Also a fan of DLo and Hachimura.
I don’t understand why Lakers fans are surprised with the result against the Sixers? They’re better than the Lakers rn. The better team should win most of the time. Getting stomped by Joel Embiid while half of your best rotation players are injured should come as no surprise.
What gives? Losing to the Embiid Sixers isn’t a problem until the playoffs. Who expected different?
The Lakers have a massive fanbase and haters love to come out during losses and pretend like they’ve been here all along. Most of the doomers lurk and stay completely silent until there’s a loss to talk about.
We’re missing a third of our regular rotation guys and our top 3 perimeter defenders. It was an ugly loss but that’s why there’s 82 games. Overreactionary fans will always exist but most of us (I hope) understand the world is not ending and the team will be fine lol
There’s also a lot of people who hate the Lakers who like to pretend they’re fans just to be doomers.
