"The script is not scripting" - NBA fans troll Celtics and Lakers after both teams go down 3-0

The LA Lakers and Boston Celtics find themselves in precarious situations after losses in Game 3 of their respective conference finals. With the likelihood of the two storied franchises being bounced out early from the playoffs, fans shared some ruthless reactions.

The two conference finals series have unfolded dramatically. In the West, the top-seeded Denver Nuggets did a great job defending homecourt and followed that up with a convincing road win against the LA Lakers.

In the East, the eighth-seed Miami Heat are winning hearts of fans. After stealing two games on the road against the Boston Celtics, the Heat came home and dominated with a 128-102 win in Game 3 on Sunday.

As things stand, both series are at 3-0, with the Lakers and Celtics trailing. With two of the most successful teams in NBA history on the verge of being swept, fans didn't hesitate to troll them on Twitter.

A lot of fans' comments drew reference to the document that was rumored to be the "script" for the NBA Finals match-up. The reality has been far different from the document, which featured the Lakers and Celtics to be in the Finals.

One said:

With a Heat vs Nuggets NBA Finals match-up looking more likely, it remains to be seen if the two teams can close out the series in their next game.

Lakers and Celtics on verge of being swept

The LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics are down 3-0 in their respective series. It's unlikely either team will turn around the series, considering no team in the playoffs has recovered from a 3-0 deficit. Instead, the risk of being swept is very real for two of the most storied franchises.

In the WCF series, the Purple and Gold had their chances to win Games 2 and Game 3. However, Denver's superior execution and Jamal Murray's individual brilliance saw them through to wins.

Meanwhile in the ECF series, the C's had their chances to win Game 2. However, a Jimmy Butler masterclass in the final minutes of the fourth quarter tore Boston's hopes apart. In Game 3, Boston faced their worst loss in playoff history.

With both Miami and Denver firing on all cylinders, the future looks bleak for two of the most dominant franchises in league history.
