Snoop Dogg, Lakers fans destroy Danny Green after dismal showing in 100-93 loss to Blazers

No. 8 seed Portland Trail Blazers stunned the No. 1 seeded Los Angles Lakers to snatch a 100-93 victory in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday night. Damian Lillard, Carmelo Anthony and Gary Trent Jr knocked down three-pointers in the final two minutes to help the Trail Blazers take a crucial 1-0 lead in the series as the Lakers were once again left to rue some poor shooting.

While the Lakers as a whole were poor in shooting on Tuesday, Danny Green extended his dismal form in Orlando with another sub-par performance against the Trail Blazers. The 33-year-old faced the wrath of social media after missing several wide-open 3s during the 100-93 loss. Longtime Lakers supporter Snoop Dogg slammed Green on social media, calling him out for missing 3s after 3s. The rapper roasted Green for his poor performances, sharing an edited picture of the Lakers star with the words: "How Many More F***ing Threes Am I Going to Miss" printed on his back. Snoop Dogg later took that post down from his Instagram handle. 

Snoop Dogg wasn't the only one admonishing Danny Green's show against the Lakers. Fans slammed the former Toronto Raptors star, blaming him for Tuesday's loss to Portland. Enraged fans hijacked the comments section of Green's Instagram handle, demanding an imminent exit for the forward.
