Late Thursday night, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs first round with a final score of 112-105.

Lakers superstar LeBron James did not play his best game, tallying 26 points, six rebounds, and nine assists. It was not enough to overcome the defending champions and now the Lakers fall into a 3-0 hole.

No team in NBA history has ever come back after being down 3-0 to win a series.

Fans are outraged that LeBron and the Lakers could not come up with the win in a game they desperately needed. James received a majority of the fan’s fury on social media. And they did not hold back.

Kendrick Perkins had some critical words for LeBron regarding his future title chances.

“Unless Jokic has an early retirement… Lebron will never win another title.”

One fan posted “Lebron stinking it up.”

A Warriors fan blasted LeBron for nearly being swept in back-to-back seasons.

One user did not like this play from LeBron in Game 3.

“Lebron finna go cry in the locker room.”

Another fan is ready for the Lakers to move on from LeBron.

The Lakers will host the Nuggets in Game 4 on Saturday, April 27th, as they try to stay alive in the series.
