Darvin Ham warns Lakers will fight to the end

Like the Celtics now, the Lakers are 3-0 down in the conference final and this observation always leads to a more or less rapid conclusion: elimination. Of the 149 teams that experienced this situation in the playoffs, none achieved the impossible, and only three managed to afford a Game 7…

But with their 0.3% chance of qualifying for the playoffs after two wins in twelve matches to start the campaign, or the 15-point deficit against Wolves during the “play-in”, the Los Angeles players have already showed that they had the heart to knock down mountains.

“We have a proud, very competitive group”, assures Darvin Ham for The Sporting Tribune. “This workforce wants to put on a show in front of its fans, in front of the ‘Lakers nation’. We have to do our job. We wouldn’t have completed this course if we weren’t on the same wavelength, if we didn’t think the same things and if we didn’t think we could bounce back. This locker room is full of tough guys. We haven’t come so far not to believe it now. »

“We don’t want to fall asleep. We’ll do it when we’re dead”

How to be positive when the Lakers lost all three games of this conference final against the Nuggets?

“It’s boring to be behind, but I’m having a good time”, also responds the coach of the Lakers. “There’s an opportunity coming our way and as long as it’s available, I’m looking forward to it. When you have exciting work ahead of you, it’s wonderful. We don’t want to fall asleep. We’ll do it when we’re dead. »

Lonnie Walker IV holds the same speech, while his coach warns that there will be no secret formula to return to this series.

“It’s 3-0, not 4-0. I stick with that. Of course we are shot, but we are not eliminated. We will fight to the last breath.” declares the rear. “Sometimes the main adjustment is just to play better,” concludes the coach. “Playing better and harder. As simple as it sounds, sometimes that’s the key. »
