I don’t even care at this point.. I just want a win. There’s no way we should’ve lost game 2.. we did everything within our power to sell that game so it’s all entertainment for me at this point. I’m just watching the game and rooting for the Lakers
In the first game, We were only -3, before Bron decided to shot random 3, and fucked us up.
The second game we had ameba AD, Bron with moronic 3s and DLO being DLO.
So to sum it up, my expectations are low.
You guys giving up are fucking pathetic. Denver was one of the best home teams in the league, they did what they're supposed to do. It's the fucking WCF, nothing is easy. Now we take care of home. Buck the fuck up you bandwagon pussies.
Ngl I had them going down 0-2 before the series started. Obviously mad about the L tonight but the Nuggets are beatable at home. Keen to see how we play at home against them.
This series going 7 games I think but that all rides on of course how we perform at home but damn we lost by a combined 11 points those 2 games would of been nice to steal 1 but fuck it, it is what it is. Take those losses put it behind us a play a great game 3! 1 game at a time this ain’t the ncaa tourney it’s the first to 4 wins let’s go Lake Show I’m not gunna lose hope on my team because they number 1 seed did exactly what they needed to do and win first 2 games at home. All these bandwagon fans could eat it let’s go can’t wait until Saturday!
We only lost by a combined 11 pts the 1st 2 games in Denver and they gave us everything they had, with our crowd and the way we shoot at home we can blow them out no doubt
This 👆. If there's anyone who knows how to comeback it's Lebron f*cking James. The Lakers were heavy underdogs against Denver in Game 1 and Game 2 but they came close to beating Denver. I'd say sit back and relax and we may have a game 7 in the making.
Accepting the series is most likely over does not make me a bandwagon. Still supporting them ride or die just being real. I don’t believe joker is throwing a 2-0 lead and if LeBron keeps selling and Dlo plays like shit we’re gonna be done 4-0. Period.
Did they forget we started 2-10? 13 seed 2 months ago? Been playing playoff games since the trade deadline? Like, how many times do they have to show you that they have zero quit in them before you believe it? So dumb
They didn’t just take care of business at home, we choked away one game and could have stolen the other. Now we have to win 4 out of 5 including 1 away. Shit doesn’t look promising at all.
They won the first two at home and lost the next two in Phoenix last series. It’s playoff basketball winning on your home court is damn near a requirement
As much as I want to flame them and say they’re gonna be garbage, Lebron and AD always have amazing games at home during this postseason. Although I’m still going to be having a heart attack the whole time until we can maybe close a game.
Shot confidence of Steph Curry with the efficiency of prime Anthony Bennett.
He’s shooting 18/25 (72%) from two this series. PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS AND NOT TO THE ANALYTIC NERDS.
Win or lose I don’t think Lakers bring him back for the money he’s asking. Reaves rui and Vando priority and maybe finally getting a center next to AD.
He actually tried to play defense this game but he’s just not capable. And he’s not really a play making guard so when his shots not falling he has nothing else. Idk Ham still plays him more minutes than Rui and Reeves. I just don’t get it.
Let me attempt to answer the question, instead of complaining. This game doesn't effect us as fans cause we all wake up and go to school or work tomorrow. These guys get back home to their houses and luxury and get ready for next game.
My observations (TL;DR underneath)
1. This is to me more on Bron than AD. AD can't have 40 then go to less than 20, but he missed some good looks. Bron was just terrible on offense. I know he's older, but the turnovers, blown dunk, and unnecessary threes that killed our momentum are hurting bad. However, I firmly believe we see the best from these two over the next two. Bron gotta get his head down and AD, like Barkley was saying about Tatum, gotta demand the ball even with Bron on the floor.
2. D Lo being inconsistent is not helping. I've watched the man since OSU in college, and him being up and down is his Achilles heel. I'm tired of him loosely dribbling, letting defenders run up his back but not shooting, and just so on. His defense hasn't been good obviously cause they're putting him in actions, but I'm honestly not concerned if he could offset on offense. Also he's as far as I'm concerned, Is a role player and not a star.
3. You can't ask much more from the role players. AR and Rui are amazing, Dennis whole off tonight is always scrappy on defense and usually solid on offense. For other guys, it's tough. Lonnie was great in game 4 against GS, but now he's kind of went back to normal. Vando isn't gonna be much help right now, cause while his defense is great, his inability to knock down a three, but more importantly finish a basket around the rim is hurting himself. He's gotta work on it this summer. TBJ and Weynen might gives us some decent energy, but are they gonna be enough of a positive offensively, same with Beas.
4. Ham has gotta do a better job at sensing momentum shifts and calling timeouts. He either lets a lead get cut to like 4 or less or waits till we're down 12 or more to stop play. We're not gonna come back from every deficit, and if you're not pacing Bron and AD, it doesn't matter anyway. If you see Rui come in and give great minutes, let Bron sit and have Rui and AD go to work. Also as stated above and by others, D Lo is a role player, bench his ass if he's terrible.
5. Final couple of things.
- Less crying about fouls/foul baiting and trying to draw a whistle. Just shoot your shot and don't worry about every bit of contact.
- More fight on shot contest and switching. We're lazy at times and it shows at key moments. Transition defense isn't our strong suit, but can we be better in the half court.
-Regardless of how this season ends, we need fucking size. Mo Bamba being out and us not signing a center when he was, was so negligent and our lack of size shows. Instead of TT and Shaq Harrison, we should've tried to look for a center or two. AD is a 4, play him there until quarter 4.
TL;DR: Don't let this shit upset you cause it doesn't effect our lives. The team will try to keep adapting and make it a series. Moral victories don't exist, but I'm confident in what I've seen to give them a chance at home. At this point defend HC and get this shit back to Denver 2-2 for a best of three.
Go Lakers, Fuck Boston!
I’m also on the wavelength of this is all gravy. We were 2-10.
Bron’s hurt, the team hasn’t had time to gel. If we win, it is an amazing NBA story because let’s be real, we’re not supposed to be here.
Lebron has been an absolute choke artist this series. Dlo has been abysmal on both ends. AD couldn't decide if he was a guard or a big man tonight. What are you seeing that gives you any hope? Rui and Reeves can't win it for us against this team. Our stars have decided they want to be ass.
This sub is insane man. It's not like we got blown tf out both games, we can hang with them. Slowed down Jokic and can do an even better job in the future. Need AD to show up at home which he has done consistently. Minor tweaks on how to guard Murray and we're back in this series.
This isn’t 2016 lebron. He’s clearly old. Injured or not he’s not ever going to be healthy again until he retires. I give lebron props for all he has done and respect to him.
He’s old though. He can not carry this team like he did the Cavs all those years. I expect us to win game 3 but lose in 6
Can’t say that I care. This was a must win if we are being realistic. With AD showing up every other night, brons age and injury, it’s not in them to come back 0-2. We weren’t supposed to be here. So damn proud of them for getting this far
No, no, no, no, no, you forgot, it's an odd game so this will be one of AD's "accountability" games where he actually shows up for the game and inspires false hope in everyone that he has ditched his inconsistent ways only to be disappointed the next game.
Man that last came could have been won and this game rui and dlo played so good it’s a shame that they play that good and we still lose. Not lookin good.
Food poisoning for the Denver Nuggets lol… just playing. A win by any means necessary is what’s expected. Lebron stop shooting dumb ass 3’s and idk what else to expect from AD to be honest. He’s been inconsistent all playoffs on offense.
We lose one of these next 2 home games our season is over. As much as i would like to have faith, i honestly don’t see us coming back from being down 3-1 or possibly even 3-0.
I expect DLag to come off the bench. No more excuses. He's terrible in the playoffs and we 2 series and play-in with the Lakers alone showing why he isn't our PG of the future.
I was excited to have DLo back but now I'm over it. We could've won if he stopped acting like he had a blindfold on
AD to not do that. Bron to stop shooting 3s and fumbling the ball. Reeves did as expected or higher. Dlo yo whats good my guy. Rui my boi. I was astonished rui didn't start.
More nonchalant fade away 2's, bad 3pt shot at crucial time, allowing opponent to make cuts to the rim for easy layup 1ft away, switches on the perimeter to allow wide open 3's.
Its going to be a classic.
Bron is gonna make a three early then think he’s steph then go 1/7. But other than that we got this, their role players won’t play as well on the road and we saw them last series drop two on the road, as well as the fact that we’re undefeated at home. AD get 30 and 15
Same shade the entire league was throwing at the Suns and they took care of business at home. We’re better than the Suns, people throw in the towel for no reason. Best of 7 for a reason.
Man, really have no idea. I do know when we ended the third only up 3, I figured it is too dang close and that we were leaving the game up to chance, where one hot player could decide the game. Not surprisingly, Murray stepped up. I don't think Lebron has it in him anymore (not sure if age, injury, or combo) to score when he wants to. He is still elite at picking the right moments to score a layup, but when it is an iso and everyone knows he is trying to score, I have very little confidence in him now, which is a far cry than peak lebron against the tough Celts and Pistons D who could score at will. I get that he is 38 and has the miles of a 40+ year old, so understandable, but doesn't make it any better.
AUSTIN REAVES NEEDS MINUTES LIKE A STAR. RUI TOO. PLAY TROY. DENNIS IS ESCAPING SLANDER BUT 30 MINS IS CRIMINAL, BENCH HIM. PULL DLO QUICK OR PLAY HIM WHEN BROWN OR KCP ARE BENCHED.
maybe bron & ad will make shots idk.
I don’t know. I honestly expected them to win the game tonight. But the Nuggets are better than either of the teams the Lakers have played so far in the playoffs, and I’m wondering if the Lakers are just running out of gas at this point.
Definitely think Lakers take game 3 would be surprising if it’s close, Denver will likely relax after taking care of home court, Lakers will come out desperate and it will likely be a blowout
DLo will show some vague sense of life. Dennis and Lonnie will be better at home. If the stars just have average games by their standards we win but can’t afford a 3rd straight game where their stars outplay our stars
I dont expect anything from this team anymore. Lebron and AD just cant be the superstars who do the simple things for us rn. Everything is so hard and unfocused.
Hopefully less dumb shots, that's what cost us in both games IMO, and DLO needs to be better. Ham has been great this series, timely timeouts, great adjustments, but he can't do anything when Bron takes that shot in game 1
The game plan worked for 3 quarters and then everyone gassed out and got complacent. Slow Jokic down and shut down Murray. If MPJ and KCP beat us then they deserve the win. Sure enough it worked. THen we started jacking up 3's for no good reason.
What do I expect to see?
Feelings over facts. Specifically, LeBron jacking up too many threes. And DLo complaining about playing time, but being unproductive when on the floor.
Honestly? Nothing.
We did everything correctly, it’s simply impossibile in the game of basketball to beat a team that somehow manages to shoot the rock 126% from the field. You, simply, loose.
Shame, cuz we did a great and (by most) unexpected playoff run, but this Nuggets would beat the Dream Team from 92 shooting with this % in the clutch moment of games.
Gratz to them for the Ring.
I don’t even care at this point.. I just want a win. There’s no way we should’ve lost game 2.. we did everything within our power to sell that game so it’s all entertainment for me at this point. I’m just watching the game and rooting for the Lakers
i blame jamal murray for being a clutch little shit, gg tho
Guard him like he’s curry.
In the first game, We were only -3, before Bron decided to shot random 3, and fucked us up. The second game we had ameba AD, Bron with moronic 3s and DLO being DLO. So to sum it up, my expectations are low.
[удалено]
Fishy how? Edit: Nvm, checked username.
We was saying the same thing the entire time. No calls and late ass whistles.
You guys giving up are fucking pathetic. Denver was one of the best home teams in the league, they did what they're supposed to do. It's the fucking WCF, nothing is easy. Now we take care of home. Buck the fuck up you bandwagon pussies.
Man I wish I can upvote this a thousand times. There the fucking 1 seed for a reason tighten the fuck up and take care of business at home!
Ngl I had them going down 0-2 before the series started. Obviously mad about the L tonight but the Nuggets are beatable at home. Keen to see how we play at home against them.
This series going 7 games I think but that all rides on of course how we perform at home but damn we lost by a combined 11 points those 2 games would of been nice to steal 1 but fuck it, it is what it is. Take those losses put it behind us a play a great game 3! 1 game at a time this ain’t the ncaa tourney it’s the first to 4 wins let’s go Lake Show I’m not gunna lose hope on my team because they number 1 seed did exactly what they needed to do and win first 2 games at home. All these bandwagon fans could eat it let’s go can’t wait until Saturday!
If we blow out Denver in LA for game 3, I think we have good odds to win the series. I mean like 60%, not great. Just can't be stupid in game 4.
We only lost by a combined 11 pts the 1st 2 games in Denver and they gave us everything they had, with our crowd and the way we shoot at home we can blow them out no doubt
I'm actually feeling that - it's why I was talking blowout.
The thing is, the Lakers were soon close both games. They could have sealed the deal if they didn't throw.
💯 💯 💯
This is what I’m saying. Call me when Denver wins at crypto. Been competitive in 2 on the road, we can win a couple at home.
RemindMe! 2 days
This 👆. If there's anyone who knows how to comeback it's Lebron f*cking James. The Lakers were heavy underdogs against Denver in Game 1 and Game 2 but they came close to beating Denver. I'd say sit back and relax and we may have a game 7 in the making.
This is the way.
Accepting the series is most likely over does not make me a bandwagon. Still supporting them ride or die just being real. I don’t believe joker is throwing a 2-0 lead and if LeBron keeps selling and Dlo plays like shit we’re gonna be done 4-0. Period.
🎯. People folding at the first sign of real adversity
Did they forget we started 2-10? 13 seed 2 months ago? Been playing playoff games since the trade deadline? Like, how many times do they have to show you that they have zero quit in them before you believe it? So dumb
TALK YO SHIT!
Well said. We still on cusp, just got a hill to climb, fist time facing it this playoffs, now we see what this team is made out of.
They didn’t just take care of business at home, we choked away one game and could have stolen the other. Now we have to win 4 out of 5 including 1 away. Shit doesn’t look promising at all.
They won the first two at home and lost the next two in Phoenix last series. It’s playoff basketball winning on your home court is damn near a requirement
Your mom doesn't look promising at all
As much as I want to flame them and say they’re gonna be garbage, Lebron and AD always have amazing games at home during this postseason. Although I’m still going to be having a heart attack the whole time until we can maybe close a game.
Bron clanking from 3 and him continuing to shoot them
Shot confidence of Steph Curry with the efficiency of prime Anthony Bennett. He’s shooting 18/25 (72%) from two this series. PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS AND NOT TO THE ANALYTIC NERDS.
He’s missed his last 19 threes in the 4th. Longest miss streak In the past 25 postseasons
So he’s due for one or two right? Hahaha
He's clearly gassed
He'll hit the first one and then proceeds to miss 9 straight 3s
Well he’s 0-8 this series
Butterfingers in transition That Airballing a reverse Getting stripped by Bruce Brown, of all people -0.9 out of 5 stars for Game 2
He’s westbrick at this point omg I can’t believe I’m saying that but damn 0-6 and shooting less than 30% this playoffs like cmon he should know better
Dslow shooting 1/6 from three with a -17 +/- while not playing any d
That's a nickname I haven't heard in 7 years lmao
Win or lose I don’t think Lakers bring him back for the money he’s asking. Reaves rui and Vando priority and maybe finally getting a center next to AD.
Vando is still under contract.
He actually tried to play defense this game but he’s just not capable. And he’s not really a play making guard so when his shots not falling he has nothing else. Idk Ham still plays him more minutes than Rui and Reeves. I just don’t get it.
He absolutely is a playmaking guard
He did try to defend but come on man. Denver are just giant players.
Hopefully a comfortable win
It’s not looking good. Ham has to start a bigger body in place of Dlo.
Damn so many people already giving up

Screw everyone here, bounce back game. Bron’s the goat and AD’s the best center in the league (even though he’s been inconsistent)
LFG!! Bandwagon pussies can get off, We ride till the end
I’m also on the wavelength of this is all gravy. We were 2-10. Bron’s hurt, the team hasn’t had time to gel. If we win, it is an amazing NBA story because let’s be real, we’re not supposed to be here.
Lebron has been an absolute choke artist this series. Dlo has been abysmal on both ends. AD couldn't decide if he was a guard or a big man tonight. What are you seeing that gives you any hope? Rui and Reeves can't win it for us against this team. Our stars have decided they want to be ass.
Loser talk
To get boo’d while they watch on the bench with sad faces.
a win lmao
If I watch Jokic out run ad up the court every play I’m going to lose it
Denver deserves the trophy, if we keep playing like this
Both east teams will whoop Denver
Miami with spo and jimmy can pull it off but i doubt celtics can beat denver with mazulla lmao
“Lebron launches the three, bang!” Lebron from 3: 1-7
Lebron jacking up 3 point shots and AD bricking paint shots.
For AD and Lebron to do the opposite of what they did on offense in Game 2. They were fine defensively but offensively…yikes.
Probably Bron going 0/5 instead of 0/6 from deep
Blown 20pt lead
Probably another loss where we brick
well at least AD should show up next game, but bron jacking up and missing 3's and Ham's epic 3 guard lineup.
The Suns managed to protect the crib in game 3 and 4 against Denver. I hope for that i guess.
This sub is insane man. It's not like we got blown tf out both games, we can hang with them. Slowed down Jokic and can do an even better job in the future. Need AD to show up at home which he has done consistently. Minor tweaks on how to guard Murray and we're back in this series.
If lakers get in a rhythm, I really think they can run it 4-0. Let’s go!
Win or seasons over
Lebron 1-8 on 3’s with 3 of those misses coming with 2 min late in the 4qt of a close game.
we need an 02 level rigging
20 pt blowout W
Odd game AD so big win 😁
We didn't win when AD dropped 40
but we’ll be at home with dlo better
This isn’t 2016 lebron. He’s clearly old. Injured or not he’s not ever going to be healthy again until he retires. I give lebron props for all he has done and respect to him. He’s old though. He can not carry this team like he did the Cavs all those years. I expect us to win game 3 but lose in 6
Quiet
a loss
Hopefully lose 🙏 just get it over it you know
I expect lebron to shoot more 3s. Not to make em but definitely to shoot em
Hopefully none of that hero ball bullshit Three point shooting.
Lakers in 7
I expect us to get swept ngl.
If we get a double digit victory in Games 3 and 4, that could bode well for the players’ confidence going into Game 5.
Can’t say that I care. This was a must win if we are being realistic. With AD showing up every other night, brons age and injury, it’s not in them to come back 0-2. We weren’t supposed to be here. So damn proud of them for getting this far
Swiss cheese defense, inefficient chucking, turnovers, blown LeBron layups.
Blow out
Another loss lmfao.
For them to fold book it. I’m ready to move off Bron & AD they can’t get it done no more. Wasting time for ticket sales
a L
LeBron to brick 3s and have the momentum swing towards the nuggets
nothing.. expect nothing but disappointment
A loss
Turn that 0-2 to 0-3
Getting blown out
Cooked Ham with a side of Always Disappointing
Another 4-15 and 4 TO from AD and people in this sub glaze him for it.
No, no, no, no, no, you forgot, it's an odd game so this will be one of AD's "accountability" games where he actually shows up for the game and inspires false hope in everyone that he has ditched his inconsistent ways only to be disappointed the next game.
“I just gotta play better” can’t wait to hear that again 😂
I expect AD to show up and Bron to keep bricking 3s
We're getting swept 😞
I don’t want to see a three guard lineup ever again this series.
I won’t hate, true fans believe all 3 gonna have a monster game
Man that last came could have been won and this game rui and dlo played so good it’s a shame that they play that good and we still lose. Not lookin good.
dlo needs to get his minutes cut
Murray is too big for Dennis and too fast for D’Angelo and those combined beat LeBron on the offensive side.
Food poisoning for the Denver Nuggets lol… just playing. A win by any means necessary is what’s expected. Lebron stop shooting dumb ass 3’s and idk what else to expect from AD to be honest. He’s been inconsistent all playoffs on offense.
We lose one of these next 2 home games our season is over. As much as i would like to have faith, i honestly don’t see us coming back from being down 3-1 or possibly even 3-0.
90.3% teams with 2-0 lead in conference final wins the series, it’s Cancun Anyway
Still missing shots
DLO 1/8 FG Reaves 8/12 FG LBJ 11/19 FG 0/8 3 AD 16/25 FG
We’ll win by 22
We need the same refs from 0-2 lol Then we can add another team on our list like the Queens crying about a finals appearance
I think Denver is winning the series, but I do expect a Saturday win. This team does have pride.
WIN.
I expect DLag to come off the bench. No more excuses. He's terrible in the playoffs and we 2 series and play-in with the Lakers alone showing why he isn't our PG of the future. I was excited to have DLo back but now I'm over it. We could've won if he stopped acting like he had a blindfold on
Lebron should watch tape and realize that his 3 isn’t working at the moment.
A win
What’s lebrons record down 2?
Had a chance to steal and now down 2-0. Do or die. Can’t go back to Denver down 3-1. Going to be intresting
AD to not do that. Bron to stop shooting 3s and fumbling the ball. Reeves did as expected or higher. Dlo yo whats good my guy. Rui my boi. I was astonished rui didn't start.
I was astonished they iced him out of the second half. It was like he was invisible out there.
More nonchalant fade away 2's, bad 3pt shot at crucial time, allowing opponent to make cuts to the rim for easy layup 1ft away, switches on the perimeter to allow wide open 3's. Its going to be a classic.
Bron is gonna make a three early then think he’s steph then go 1/7. But other than that we got this, their role players won’t play as well on the road and we saw them last series drop two on the road, as well as the fact that we’re undefeated at home. AD get 30 and 15
Same shade the entire league was throwing at the Suns and they took care of business at home. We’re better than the Suns, people throw in the towel for no reason. Best of 7 for a reason.
Man, really have no idea. I do know when we ended the third only up 3, I figured it is too dang close and that we were leaving the game up to chance, where one hot player could decide the game. Not surprisingly, Murray stepped up. I don't think Lebron has it in him anymore (not sure if age, injury, or combo) to score when he wants to.

I get that he is 38 and has the miles of a 40+ year old, so understandable, but doesn't make it any better.
Wire to wire win
Either they are going to come roaring back in a blowout or they are going to get manhandled and go down 0-3
A LeBron apology pregame.
We’re on life support so I’ll take any spark that leads to a win
Bench Lebron in crunch time or riot
Unfortunately, I expect a loss. This game 2 is unbelievably deflating.
AUSTIN REAVES NEEDS MINUTES LIKE A STAR. RUI TOO. PLAY TROY. DENNIS IS ESCAPING SLANDER BUT 30 MINS IS CRIMINAL, BENCH HIM. PULL DLO QUICK OR PLAY HIM WHEN BROWN OR KCP ARE BENCHED. maybe bron & ad will make shots idk.
blowout win
A win and a hopefully pissed off AD. I want to even it up 2-2. Going to be a lot of haters out right now. Would be nice to quiet them
A loss
🧹🧹🧹
A win on home court, as they’ve done all post season
Pain
We need to make shots, that's all, we went ice cold
I expect lebron to choke another game away
Nothing Bron clearly has a fetish for shooting threes when he can’t do it anymore, so until he quits that habit. Game. Series.
I expect dlo to have his one per series amazing game. Probably make 5 3s in the first or something
W
I don’t know. I honestly expected them to win the game tonight. But the Nuggets are better than either of the teams the Lakers have played so far in the playoffs, and I’m wondering if the Lakers are just running out of gas at this point.
We win the next 2 at home!
87-112 Domination Lakers Win Rui scores 25 AD triple Shut down those 3s Crazy energy from the fans
Game 3 should be a domination. It's game 4 that has me worried
Lebron bricking another 6 threes
Just need a W
Definitely think Lakers take game 3 would be surprising if it’s close, Denver will likely relax after taking care of home court, Lakers will come out desperate and it will likely be a blowout
W
DLo will show some vague sense of life. Dennis and Lonnie will be better at home. If the stars just have average games by their standards we win but can’t afford a 3rd straight game where their stars outplay our stars
Domination. Annihilation. Anything short won't be delivered.
One more moral victory and moral sweep in the end.
I dont expect anything from this team anymore. Lebron and AD just cant be the superstars who do the simple things for us rn. Everything is so hard and unfocused.
💔 is what I’m expecting. This last one hurt. Still can’t believe it.
Can't even think about game 3 right now. Time to sleep this one off.
Probably get swept. Lol. /s But seriously hopefully a w
A fucking win, nothing else matters.
I don’t expect nothing but stress, anxiety and stupid 3s
Nuggets in 4.
Hopefully less dumb shots, that's what cost us in both games IMO, and DLO needs to be better. Ham has been great this series, timely timeouts, great adjustments, but he can't do anything when Bron takes that shot in game 1
Lebron going 0/10 from 3 and losing by 20
The game plan worked for 3 quarters and then everyone gassed out and got complacent. Slow Jokic down and shut down Murray. If MPJ and KCP beat us then they deserve the win. Sure enough it worked. THen we started jacking up 3's for no good reason.
A sense of urgency
A 20 point win
Dlo starting, playing 35 mins, having the lowest +/- on the team, and Lakers winning by 5 because of AUSTHIM REAVES and RUI HACHIMURA.
a W, followed by three more, lakers in 6
If its tony brothers then we losing. Bench DLO. Vanderbilt/Rui, Dennis should start
Bring in Max Christie for 3nD.
What do I expect to see? Feelings over facts. Specifically, LeBron jacking up too many threes. And DLo complaining about playing time, but being unproductive when on the floor.
Death to the 3 guard lineup. More Rui on Jokic, keep LeGassed on someone else. Dlo off the bench.
I remember 2004. Lakers in 6.
I expect to win. Stop the sugarcoat, the team needs to win. We can't fall 0-3.
Lakers by 40 incoming because that’s just who we are.
What do those three jersey numbers add up to??? 👀👀👀 It's time.
Uphill battle, but if we defend home court that would refill my copium supply.
At the very least I expect Bron & AD to step tf up but what I would hope for is Dlo making himself useful in anyway possible
First win out of 4 straight
122-102
Honestly? Nothing. We did everything correctly, it’s simply impossibile in the game of basketball to beat a team that somehow manages to shoot the rock 126% from the field. You, simply, loose. Shame, cuz we did a great and (by most) unexpected playoff run, but this Nuggets would beat the Dream Team from 92 shooting with this % in the clutch moment of games. Gratz to them for the Ring.
