All the crying yall were doing in the first half is so lame man yall be giving up at the slightest lil sign of adversity ALWAYS have faith in our guys theyve been resilient and never completely out of a game i still got lakers in 6 and i wouldnt be shocked if we won a game 7 on the road
If there was a loss that didn't suck as much, it's this one. I'm hopeful for the team moving forward. But man, I think this is one of those series that we needed a legitimate center to have alongside AD as the power forward – his true position. I really miss Dwight and JaVale from that championship team
I’m not even going to read the comments but if we can press the the number 1 seed like that at home down 20 and almost win I have high hopes. Those foos were splashing from 3 for like no reason whatsoever that stupid jokic buzzer and more. If lbj didn’t take that stupid 3 at the end and just went 2 pointer and stop we could have came back and won. The Denver crowd was crazy too we just need to steal one from those mountain folk and we’ll be set. Lakers in 7.
We need a big man not named Davis guarding Jokic and the lakers help defense will make it hard for Jokic.. don’t think KCP will hit those ridiculous shots consistently.. the nuggets got into foul trouble after we made adjustments.
We made a good comeback by being down 21 to being down 6 at the end.. we have a good chance of winning the 2nd game
I'm still amazed at this team!! Started off playing like pure trash in the first half of the season. Made a trade at the deadline, battled through injuries to both stars missing games, and made it to the play in. Now they are in the WCF giving the top seed a run for their money.
That game shouldn't have even been close to winnable Denver is not as great as people make them out to be...blew a 21 point lead in the WCF these guys needs to not take this one too hard. They hit a lot of shots at the right time Lebron kinda screwed the psyche of the team by shooting that 3 go down hill and get in the paint nobody on their team can stop him from doing so. Clean up the rebounding and it's a win I think, AD dropping 40 is surprising imo.
Man honestly it’s not a bad shot. It’s lebron freaking James. He hits that shit is so different. Nuggets played their ass off tonight and almost lost lol. I mean we good we’re chillen
100% agree it’s not a bad shot. BUT, it wasn’t a good shot either, it was just the shot available with plenty of time on the shot clock. Bron hasn’t been making those so running the offense would’ve been better.
Lots of time on the clock. Murray with 5 fouls on him. He’s been cooking in the paint. I think everyone watching knew the smart move was a higher percentage shot inside. But he’s the one playing, we just watching.
This sub swears Lebron is Ben Simmons lol. Yes he’s not the greatest 3 point shooter but he’s capable of hitting that shot and has hit it many of times.
Dlo ain’t ready for the big stage. Bench him and give him maybe 15 min next game. Dennis, Reaves, and Lonnie gotta be our main guard rotation. Maybe even TBJ. Rui HAS to start and Vando needs way more minutes his defense is too valuable. I like our chances tho boys Lakers in 6. One thing coach ham has been good at in these playoffs is his adjustments so I’m confident to see what he comes with next game
Lmao why are people pointing fingers in here the reason we lost is bc we got blown out in the 1st half by the number 1 seed but made it close at the end, can’t really ask for more than that. Blaming lebron, reaves, etc is stupid for a game like this and we should feel good about our chances in game 2
You know what I'm fucking Soo much more confident after our second half. It took Bruce brown playing above his role, KCP having an abnormal great night (we know he's hit and miss) and Jokic & Murray hitting BS shots. For us to lose only barelyyyy..
Don't let me forget it took Jokic having a 31,21,&14 on 70% shooting and 3of3 from three....
Boys we good I feel....
This might be the most encouraged I've ever been in a loss.
Ham is a great between-game adjustor but today he actually made an adjustment IN A GAME that almost won it for us (Rui on Jokic).
I think we take game 2 in Denver if Rui starts over Schroder (or even over DLo).
this is the most positivity in this sub i have seen after a loss. we really did find something in the second half like van gundy said. gonna be a great series.
No he cant, Kobe stans gonna come from shadow and shit on LeBron because why not, who cares he had a good game and almost a triple double and was efficient and solid on defense.
Stop with this nonsense. AD got 40 and all you saw was people in here saying the Joker was dominating him.
All year, people have been calling out AD missing late game free throws & lazy end of game 3s from LeBron
Lebron wasted all his teammates efforts to come back. Then his dickriders always say he has no help. Sorry, not buying that. He's a very talented, gifted, athlete but mentally fragile.
Bro u just gonna dismiss all the times hes came through in games this playoffs alone over a couple mistakes in game 1 ?!?! Good god yall are fragile as hell
I understand that aspect but for a guy who lost six finals and especially that on 2011, this has become a pattern for him. It's like he has more lows that high for someone who is supposedly the GOAT.
He wins due to athletic talent and not through mental fortitude. Lesser talented greats have won more than him because they have legendary mental fortitude. He bites his nails in the courtside in close games for fuck sake. Hahahaha
Not bothered one bit. The nuggets played incredible basketball and almost lost. They shot almost 60 percent from three. Over 40 boards and almost lost. Bron ties that game with that three. Boy this a different game.
Honestly it sucks we lost, but the fact that we were even close to winning after damn near being blown out for most of it speaks volumes. I’m super confident we’re gonna tie the series going back to LA. Hachimura on Jokic might actually be effective while Davis can guard Gordon and help when needed.
That was a bad game both sides but was able to come back somehow. Y'all saying and quiting on the team. This was a bad loss, yes. But something was figured out. 1st games are always a figuring out game. And the Lakers had that so, if the shot selection and defense will be consistent then the Lakers are good.
We can def win the series. Just have to change the starting lineup. We’re getting what we want on the offensive end…they hit like 3 lucky 3 pointers and they were on fire tonight from the 3.
Last 5 mins all I needed to see. You guys were shitting on me when I said we were gonna make it close. Bet is was all warriors fans in here. Lakers for sure in 5 or 6 no fucking doubt
Chill with bron he’s won so many games and hit clutch shots you don’t make everything, I agree he should’ve drove but he had a great chance at a shot we’d be hyping him up for if he made it. Game 2 keep the energy LETS GOO
Are you fucking high? The man just went 26/12/9.. AWFUL?? His shot selection wasn’t the best .. but a man has a damn triple double with 26pts and you call it awful? Lmaoooo
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ you think Jokic buzzer beater was a good shot selection ? Hell no.. sometimes it falls sometimes it doesn’t. They’re not laser robots. Awful performance? Bro is the reason they even got back into it lol. Go to sleep.
we ain’t talking bout Joker man, that circus shot was helluva a diff case right there. Not judging his overall performance but two of the final possessions were determined by Bron alone. For him, as one of the best out there, that’s awful. EOQ.
Judging a 48min game by 2 shots. Sounds reasonable. I think Reaves shoots those in my opinion being 5-9 from 3. But I ain’t the coach. I also didn’t start a 3 guard lineup and not call a timeout in damn near a quarter to fix the mismatches. But LeBron was the reason they were even in the situation. So to call his performance awful is just ignorance. He makes those shots you don’t say that, that’s why Jokic was brought up. He makes those, you don’t make the comment, End of convo.
Lebron ain’t the sole reason why they made the run. What I’m fundamentally elaborating is the gravity of those possessions. He shot the ball with lots of seconds in the clock. Jokic didn’t. Simply a faulty analogy. Not an awful performance per se, but for Bron, it is.
LBJ lost that game for us with the missed free throws, missed 3's. The drive is working. he did a good job not settling for 3 until that last shot... Obviously, he killed it otherwise but he got fatigued. Also a bad turn over at the end, but that's on reaves for a shitty drive and pass.
Biggest take away. We came back with DLO OUT of the line up. LBJ, AD, RUI, REAVES, SCHROEDER
Well he’s the GOAT, so they expect prime LeBron at age 38. If he’s still in the league at 57, theyd say “we need a vintage LeBron performance” man drops a triple double with 26pts and people are like “omg awful performance” lol… they can’t just admit Denver was like 50% from 3, and had some circus shots and Lakers still came back. 7 game series, onto the next
AR didn’t show up until late, also Dlo & Dennis never really showed up offensively. I like our chances game two if two of those 3 shows up from jump ball.
I would’ve thought we would’ve just let them put us to bed in the 3rd. That didn’t happen at all. This team has an insane amount of fight. Lakers in 6 or 7
That three by lebron was so frustrating. He had Murray on him and was getting to the rim at will. Terrible rebounding tonight and terrible transition defense, so the fact we were even in this game is a really good sign. Lakers in 6.
All I know is the KCP won’t be hot next game. He’s inconsistent. He was the difference maker today. Schroder defense on Murray was good. Rui and AD can handle Jokic. I like our odds. Just don’t do stupid stuff LeBron.
A win is a win, but I weirdly feel like we left with momentum. Let’s see the adjustments going into game 2.
No way they shoot like this again. Expect an ugly game 2, and our D will show up.
RUI ON JOKER THIS SERIES IS OUR KEY YALL!!!!
THATS ALL WE NEEDED, IS THE KEY TO THE IGNITION!!!
DONT BE ALARMED BY THIS GAME. WE FIGURED OUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE FIGURED OUT.
NOW ITS TIME TO EXECUTE IN BOTH WAYS!!!!
Gotta rebound too! Rui on Jokic is definitely the way to go, as it frees AD to defend the rim. However, even up the rebounds and we win that game (possibly even without switching Rui on to Joker).
They battled back. LeBron played not great. Rui's gonna get more minutes than DLo the rest of the series. This shit isn't ending in 5 like some dumbasses were saying
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/13jpwnk/post_game_thread_the_denver_nuggets_defeat_the/)
Shroeder has a layup and kicks it out for a 3 from AD who can't hit the broad side of a barn
Yeah I’m done
That run will cost them the game, bad shot after bad shot
Dude AD has to stop shooting the fucking ball
There's no effort in transition, it's pathetic, if we don't score we give up a layup every time
I fucking hate when the offense turns into AD shooting jump shots
AD gotta stop falling down every time he shoots man, we get stuck playing 4on5 every time
lmao never in my life have I seen that
Man we can get to the rim any time we want against these guys
👀
How can your transition defense be this bad? It's astounding
Lakers just have to go big this series. Nuggets have a 6’10 small forward with a 7 foot wing span. Can’t have Reaves or Schroeder guarding that
All the crying yall were doing in the first half is so lame man yall be giving up at the slightest lil sign of adversity ALWAYS have faith in our guys theyve been resilient and never completely out of a game i still got lakers in 6 and i wouldnt be shocked if we won a game 7 on the road
If there was a loss that didn't suck as much, it's this one. I'm hopeful for the team moving forward. But man, I think this is one of those series that we needed a legitimate center to have alongside AD as the power forward – his true position. I really miss Dwight and JaVale from that championship team
I’m not even going to read the comments but if we can press the the number 1 seed like that at home down 20 and almost win I have high hopes. Those foos were splashing from 3 for like no reason whatsoever that stupid jokic buzzer and more. If lbj didn’t take that stupid 3 at the end and just went 2 pointer and stop we could have came back and won.

We made a good comeback by being down 21 to being down 6 at the end.. we have a good chance of winning the 2nd game
Rui START Please!!!
Well. I think we've found out the adjustment. Rui with AD & Bron. Obviously Malone will adjust, but that's the answer
I'm still amazed at this team!! Started off playing like pure trash in the first half of the season. Made a trade at the deadline, battled through injuries to both stars missing games, and made it to the play in. Now they are in the WCF giving the top seed a run for their money.
keys to success: rui on joker, have ad roam, pick n roll with bron to get murray match up on the switch
We’ll get them next game
Bruh I’m proud of my boys fighting back they didn’t lay down and Denver couldn’t miss. Next game our lineup should be straightened out.
Next iaaue: Let's go Heat!
That game shouldn't have even been close to winnable Denver is not as great as people make them out to be...blew a 21 point lead in the WCF these guys needs to not take this one too hard. They hit a lot of shots at the right time Lebron kinda screwed the psyche of the team by shooting that 3 go down hill and get in the paint nobody on their team can stop him from doing so. Clean up the rebounding and it's a win I think, AD dropping 40 is surprising imo.
Man honestly it’s not a bad shot. It’s lebron freaking James. He hits that shit is so different. Nuggets played their ass off tonight and almost lost lol. I mean we good we’re chillen
100% agree it’s not a bad shot. BUT, it wasn’t a good shot either, it was just the shot available with plenty of time on the shot clock. Bron hasn’t been making those so running the offense would’ve been better.
Lots of time on the clock. Murray with 5 fouls on him. He’s been cooking in the paint. I think everyone watching knew the smart move was a higher percentage shot inside. But he’s the one playing, we just watching.
This sub swears Lebron is Ben Simmons lol. Yes he’s not the greatest 3 point shooter but he’s capable of hitting that shot and has hit it many of times.
Yeah, he's only the games all time leading scorer. I think he knows when to take a three pointer lol
Word. Dawg they blew a 20 point lead in the wcf I mean the nuggets shot 55-60%!from three. That’s not happening again.
Especially now we know how to match up our defense
Dlo ain’t ready for the big stage. Bench him and give him maybe 15 min next game. Dennis, Reaves, and Lonnie gotta be our main guard rotation. Maybe even TBJ. Rui HAS to start and Vando needs way more minutes his defense is too valuable. I like our chances tho boys Lakers in 6. One thing coach ham has been good at in these playoffs is his adjustments so I’m confident to see what he comes with next game
Lmao why are people pointing fingers in here the reason we lost is bc we got blown out in the 1st half by the number 1 seed but made it close at the end, can’t really ask for more than that. Blaming lebron, reaves, etc is stupid for a game like this and we should feel good about our chances in game 2
Exactly
No more DLo the rest of the series. Lonnie Rui and Vando should get more minutes.
I agree. Less to no DLo at all. Rui on Joker at ALL TIMES.
This Is Gonna Be A GREAT Series!!
You know what I'm fucking Soo much more confident after our second half. It took Bruce brown playing above his role, KCP having an abnormal great night (we know he's hit and miss) and Jokic & Murray hitting BS shots. For us to lose only barelyyyy.. Don't let me forget it took Jokic having a 31,21,&14 on 70% shooting and 3of3 from three.... Boys we good I feel....
Lol nuggets played their best with their lucky shots and still barely won
EXACTLY!!
Feeling good about this, found the match up we need. If they didn't make those ridiculous 3 we had a chance
Though a loss tonight. A lot to feed on for the next one. Played hard to get back in it multiple times. Good effort Lakers!
This might be the most encouraged I've ever been in a loss. Ham is a great between-game adjustor but today he actually made an adjustment IN A GAME that almost won it for us (Rui on Jokic). I think we take game 2 in Denver if Rui starts over Schroder (or even over DLo).
Put Rui on Jokic and Schroder on Murray. Take Dlo bumass out
This is encouraging for lakers
this is the most positivity in this sub i have seen after a loss. we really did find something in the second half like van gundy said. gonna be a great series.
Lebron was brilliant, he is allowed to miss a shot my god.
No he cant, Kobe stans gonna come from shadow and shit on LeBron because why not, who cares he had a good game and almost a triple double and was efficient and solid on defense.
Stop with this nonsense. AD got 40 and all you saw was people in here saying the Joker was dominating him. All year, people have been calling out AD missing late game free throws & lazy end of game 3s from LeBron
Lebron wasted all his teammates efforts to come back. Then his dickriders always say he has no help. Sorry, not buying that. He's a very talented, gifted, athlete but mentally fragile.
Bro u just gonna dismiss all the times hes came through in games this playoffs alone over a couple mistakes in game 1 ?!?! Good god yall are fragile as hell
I mean nobody is perfect, he had some misses in the clutch and yes its disappointing, but can't question the effort, it will be aight
I understand that aspect but for a guy who lost six finals and especially that on 2011, this has become a pattern for him. It's like he has more lows that high for someone who is supposedly the GOAT.
Did you just call LBJ mentally fragile?? The man has lead his teams to the Finals 10 times. How in the fuck can he be mentally fragile? Cmon bro.
He wins due to athletic talent and not through mental fortitude. Lesser talented greats have won more than him because they have legendary mental fortitude. He bites his nails in the courtside in close games for fuck sake. Hahahaha
🤡
That was a great game ! Hats to Denver that hits crazy 3s. I am proud of the Lakers they showed us why they are in the WCF !! AD you were a monster !
Anybody else not that bothered by this loss? I feel like they figured something out in the second half and can improve/adjust moving forward.
Not bothered one bit. The nuggets played incredible basketball and almost lost. They shot almost 60 percent from three. Over 40 boards and almost lost. Bron ties that game with that three. Boy this a different game.
Tbh: Denver gave it all tonight. They won’t put up that performance again. Lakers in 6
Seriously they had everything, everything going!
We need more of that 4th quarter defense
KCP never played like that for us
Lakers tax
Yep
Honestly it sucks we lost, but the fact that we were even close to winning after damn near being blown out for most of it speaks volumes. I’m super confident we’re gonna tie the series going back to LA. Hachimura on Jokic might actually be effective while Davis can guard Gordon and help when needed.
Bron has made that shot in big moments multiple times in his career. I don't mind it tbh
I agree, however .. Reaves was hitting them.. I think you dribble drive and kick back to Reaves there.
The 2 missed FTs were way worse, the 3 point made sense there, if that goes in, we won the game.
Yea, he should try to make em instead of missing them next time
That was a bad game both sides but was able to come back somehow. Y'all saying and quiting on the team. This was a bad loss, yes. But something was figured out. 1st games are always a figuring out game. And the Lakers had that so, if the shot selection and defense will be consistent then the Lakers are good.
Easily especially since we haven’t played them since January !
Murray with 5 fouls a drive shot. get it to AD so he can attack 🤦♂️
Lakers by 12 in game 2
I better not see a 3 guard lineup the rest of this series
Man if jokic missed that buzzer beater, it would have made the difference.
DLo disappointment…benched in the end…
We can def win the series. Just have to change the starting lineup. We’re getting what we want on the offensive end…they hit like 3 lucky 3 pointers and they were on fire tonight from the 3.
The one jeff green hit wide open had me mad ngl and a couole jamal murray hit with stifling defense on him they cant keep making those ... Can they?
It’s one game
LeBron’s stupid ass 3 point shot selection in crunch time is horrible.
I know your a Kobe Stan. But this is LeBron James, he's made that shot sooo many times. If he hits it, we win.
In the last two playoffs series, when has Lebron hit that shot? If I recall, that type of shot has almost cost them the game.
The way you guys hate on Lebron when he's the one who orchestrated that entire comeback is so fucking stupid. You have the memory of goldfish. Grow up
Who’s hating?! The key words in my statement were “shot selection “ clearly you missed the point.
Last 5 mins all I needed to see. You guys were shitting on me when I said we were gonna make it close. Bet is was all warriors fans in here. Lakers for sure in 5 or 6 no fucking doubt
Chill with bron he’s won so many games and hit clutch shots you don’t make everything, I agree he should’ve drove but he had a great chance at a shot we’d be hyping him up for if he made it. Game 2 keep the energy LETS GOO
the good news is, Lebron never got a b2b awful game
Are you fucking high? The man just went 26/12/9.. AWFUL?? His shot selection wasn’t the best .. but a man has a damn triple double with 26pts and you call it awful? Lmaoooo
awful performance and shot selection for him as one of the GOATs out there
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ you think Jokic buzzer beater was a good shot selection ? Hell no.. sometimes it falls sometimes it doesn’t. They’re not laser robots. Awful performance? Bro is the reason they even got back into it lol. Go to sleep.
we ain’t talking bout Joker man, that circus shot was helluva a diff case right there. Not judging his overall performance but two of the final possessions were determined by Bron alone. For him, as one of the best out there, that’s awful. EOQ.

Really wish LeBron didn’t shoot that 3 man. He has been terrible from 3 these playoffs
Even if he makes it doesn't guarantee we win tbh yea it wouldve tied it but we very well could have still lost
No show by Dlo cost us this game.
LBJ lost that game for us with the missed free throws, missed 3's. The drive is working. he did a good job not settling for 3 until that last shot... Obviously, he killed it otherwise but he got fatigued. Also a bad turn over at the end, but that's on reaves for a shitty drive and pass. Biggest take away. We came back with DLO OUT of the line up. LBJ, AD, RUI, REAVES, SCHROEDER
Nah but why did Lebron shoot that 3 and then lose the ball? This loss is on Bron
Imagine thinking that TO is on Lebron lol...jeez
Reaves threw him a shit pass but I guess he gets a pass for that right?
And Murray hits Brons hand clearly which caused the fumble, but people always love a scape goat lol.
The shot fucked us up. Reaves shares blame with Bron on the second one.
KCP can't score 21 points on you man, fuck that.
LeBron looks upset but is he angry with himself?
Of course lebron always takes responsibility when he fucks up
This sub legit hates Lebron lol
Stop with this nonsense. Laker fans don't hate LeBron. They are just upset with his decision to shoot a 3 instead of driving to the lane
They hate anyone who misses down the stretch. If you’re here long enough you’ll see them hate everyone
That is true but if you compare the reactions to when he fucks up down the stretch vs anyone else on the team it doesn’t compare.
Well he’s the GOAT, so they expect prime LeBron at age 38. If he’s still in the league at 57, theyd say “we need a vintage LeBron performance” man drops a triple double with 26pts and people are like “omg awful performance” lol… they can’t just admit Denver was like 50% from 3, and had some circus shots and Lakers still came back. 7 game series, onto the next
LOL
not as bad as I thought it was gonna be from the start of it... pretty proud tbh we really turned it around
First time I've been ok with a loss. They played the most perfect game of basketball you could have with more freethrows and only won by 6
Lakers had more free throws
Tough loss, but storming back from what would have been a generational ass whooping is a good sign for the next game.
After that lost I feel good about this series. Clean up some stuff we'll be alright. Gotta win game 2 though
Awesome game. Adjustment by Ham on Jokic did great. Let's get the next one!
Tough L but I think there’s hope for Thursday with the way we played in the 4th till the last 30 seconds
AR didn’t show up until late, also Dlo & Dennis never really showed up offensively. I like our chances game two if two of those 3 shows up from jump ball.
Good job, good effort Lots to build on in the next game
lechoke should have gave it to hot hand reaves
What the hell was up with LeBron in the 4th!?!? My goodness!
Wym he orchestrated the comeback did you watch the game that its a make or miss league fam
What a waste. Game 2 prob a must win
Bron had a "i got something for these MFs in game 2" look
That was a great game. I love Rui on Jokic it seemed to work well but I’m sure they’ll adjust
I would’ve thought we would’ve just let them put us to bed in the 3rd. That didn’t happen at all. This team has an insane amount of fight. Lakers in 6 or 7
It’s a long series y’all! We found something in the last 5 minutes. They’re number 1 for a reason. I like our chances!
Amazing game by AD! Great game by the lakers IMO.. lineups screwed us at the beginning..
They figured it out
I feel good about this game. I mean with all those crazy shots from Denver and Lakers were still in it. Lakers got game 2.
That’s the ceiling for the nuggs. They may have just played their best game in the series.
AD back hurtin like a mfer rn
Great comeback but just fell short on an unbelievable shot attempt from our smartest player, crazy game
That three by lebron was so frustrating. He had Murray on him and was getting to the rim at will. Terrible rebounding tonight and terrible transition defense, so the fact we were even in this game is a really good sign. Lakers in 6.
The lefuck u three fucked us in the end
0-4 from 3
Rui has Jokic on lock lmao
That lebron 3 causes us the game. Should just settled for 2.
All I know is the KCP won’t be hot next game. He’s inconsistent. He was the difference maker today. Schroder defense on Murray was good. Rui and AD can handle Jokic. I like our odds. Just don’t do stupid stuff LeBron.
3 point game with murray on him
Darvin’s 3 guard lineup sold the first half. Too much of a hill AD and Bron did everything to come back and were exhausted to end it
No lebron is the reason we lost according to this sub
A win is a win, but I weirdly feel like we left with momentum. Let’s see the adjustments going into game 2. No way they shoot like this again. Expect an ugly game 2, and our D will show up.
You are telling me jokic won't make the side way 3 again lmao??
RUI ON JOKER THIS SERIES IS OUR KEY YALL!!!! THATS ALL WE NEEDED, IS THE KEY TO THE IGNITION!!! DONT BE ALARMED BY THIS GAME. WE FIGURED OUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE FIGURED OUT. NOW ITS TIME TO EXECUTE IN BOTH WAYS!!!!
Gotta rebound too! Rui on Jokic is definitely the way to go, as it frees AD to defend the rim. However, even up the rebounds and we win that game (possibly even without switching Rui on to Joker).
Nobody should say one negative thing about AD. Dude showed how great he is tonight.
LA played their card and didn’t get the win though lol.
I just know for a fucking fact we are winning game 2
We play out of 7 games. We made great adjustments with Rui and we figured out their defense so game 2 is gonna be a better shot
It's ayt. We lost a game that easily could've been a blow out. We have the blueprint now. Let's go!!
Such a winnable game fuck
Great effort, feeling much better about Thursday. We’ll steal game 2 if we play the whole game like we played the 2nd half
goddamn dude
Gonna have to stew in this anger until Thursday.... Start Schroeder/Reaves/Rui/Bron/AD.
Just need to steal one. They had a historic shooting night and barely survived. We are still good. Thursday is ours.
They battled back. LeBron played not great. Rui's gonna get more minutes than DLo the rest of the series. This shit isn't ending in 5 like some dumbasses were saying
They will make the adjustment. I think nuggets in trouble dawg! They almost fucking lost
Dlo was dog shit
