“It ain’t happening boss”, “LeFlop James” – Fans react to LeBron James’ comments about erasing 3-0 deficit

LeBron James and the LA Lakers are now in a tricky situation, as they are about to face elimination on Monday after going down 119-108 on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets to trail 3-0 in the series.

Lakers fans are still hoping for a comeback, but doing so seems quite impossible, as no NBA team has come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs. Then again, the Lakers have LeBron James in their squad.

James was part of the historic 3-1 comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. If anyone is capable of achieving such a feat, "King" James is one. LBJ said in a post-game press conference that it's his goal to beat the Nuggets despite being in a disadvantageous situation.

While it's very reassuring to know that LeBron hasn't raised the white flag yet, fans aren't entirely sold on the idea. Fans are expressing their doubts on social media and believe that Denver will sweep LA. Here's what they had to say:

@ACowNamedStan tweeted: "It ain't happening boss"

@KCHHTZ tweeted: "Start from next game, you needa coach yourself LeFlop James. Send Darvin Ham home"

Here's what some fans had to say:

@Hamilton4Joe tweeted: "Yawn , Lakers are done"

@dubaipropinv tweeted: "I don’t think they have any other option right now but to be optimistic"

@lebronbryant01 tweeted: "Sadly it wont be happening..."

@curryishim tweeted: "He think he 2018 Bron"

@aawttar tweeted: "Bron caught some Cancun flashes while answering."

@kaneblack021 tweeted: "He sounds defeated already"

Can LeBron James come back from 3-0 deficit?

Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Lakers - Game Three

The LA Lakers are down 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals and at this point, all they can do is give their all and hope for the best.

LeBron James, being the leader that he is, remains positive about their situation and is hoping to make history to become the first team to make a comeback from 3-0 down. At the moment, the record for teams facing a 3-0 deficit is 0-149, though.

It remains to be seen if the Lakers buck the trend and become the first team to erase a 3-0 deficit.
