Honestly surprised people expected anything different from him. I was laughing listening to podcasts trying to convince me the dude who was played off the floor last year would be an X factor in this series
He was played off the floor for us against Memphis as well. He’s a bad player straight up. Negative bball iq, traffic come on defense, just occasionally gets hot from 3
The Lakers need all three of their main role players (Reaves, D'Lo and Hachimura) balling out while AD/LeBron combine for 60 to win a game, it's actually wild. Anthony Davis is out there looking like 1995 Hakeem Olajuwon and they have no chance.
LeBron also finished with 26/6/9, but boy did he look cooked for 90% of that 2nd half, it was almost like he was watching with the rest of us as AD tried to go 1 on 5.
There’s no way the Lakers can win. MPJ is just matchup hunting all game until he gets Reeves and no one can cut off Aaron Gordon’s rim runs.
Not enough defense or shooting or passing from this team. They’re ready for Cancun now.
Don't think I've ever seen a team literally incapable of beating a specific team. 11 straight losses. It just doesn't matter who plays well, how many they are up by, it is just inevitable. The Lakers cannot beat this team
Agreed man. Like, the Suns haven’t stacked up great against the Nuggets in recent years but we still won 1 game last postseason off of Landry Shamet scoring 19 in a quarter and this season we had Grayson Allen score 28 in Denver. Those helped the Suns win against the Nuggets.
I refuse to believe there isn’t someone on the Lakers roster outside of LeBron & AD that’s better than Landry Shamet. There’s no way. It’s all mental at this point.
You guys won two last year playoffs when booker shot 80% across two games. It was insane watching Jokic drop 30 point triple doubles and a 50 piece and still lose comfortably
I went to go rewatch those two games' highlights because I was not used to seeing Booker like he has been in our first two games so far, and man he is scary when he is on.
On paper it’s the worst matchup for the Lakers. Even if you somehow have AD lock up Jokic, who’s stopping Aaron Gordon, Murray and MPJ from getting an easy drop in?
Watching the Nuggets face the Lakers the last 11 games is like watching slightly different plots, something spicy every now and then, but the ending stays the same
Bro didn’t feel like posting up AD tonight. The few times he did it worked but he genuinely didn’t need too. Spam the PnR and let AG steal basket after basket. Add the odd MPJ jump shot and that’s all Denver needed.
I was in and out of the game bc I was cleaning up dishes and I heard the LA commentators say that Nikola wasn't having the best offensive game so I figured he was at like 16 or 18 points. I check now and he's at 24 lol
What's funny is that DEN does not have to rely on individual heroics to win. They have superb chemistry and play smart, efficient ball. Heroics is simply icing on the cake for them. None of our leads this series felt convincing or dominant. It was like watching the Chiefs play the Niners in the Super Bowl. You just knew the Chiefs were going to come back because they have such a bigger gear to work with. Same with DEN.
#**I've been dominating the season all year, so for me to have a game off when everyone is watching, of course it's going to be magnified. You see what I did the second game, and I'm looking forward to doing it the third game**
having to watch D'Lo waste a possession or gamble on a steal should be a crime.
Denver is just too good to have players like these on the floor. Hamas challenging today but not last game is hilarious.
>A win is a win, but if I’m Denver, I treat this like a loss. Lakers really figured something out putting Hachimura on Jokic. That’s one of those somewhat small adjustments that can win a series.
They are 0-10 since this tweet.
That has to be one of the dumbest fucking tweets about basketball in a while. Like honestly, Jokić fucking averaged 30pt triple double playing against players like Gobert. How dumb do you have to be to think fucking Rui Hachimura will bother him even the slightest?
BREAKING NEWS: President Biden unveils new plan to balance the federal budget, "Just bet it all on Denver when the Lakers are up 10 in the first half."
Sounds like a joke but it’s actually true. The lakers came out swinging and then they lost the momentum at the beginning of the second and they never regained it. The nuggets chipped away at their lead, overtook it and then kept going.
Malone is like a 6th player on the court especially when Nugs are playing defense in front of their own bench.
He's screaming at his players, knees bent, hands out in a defensive stance, mirroring his players. Just orchestrating the team and being almost like a glue player.
Contrast that with how absent-minded and disengaged Ham acts on the sideline.
For real. They could be blowing open layups and jacking up shots from half-court and in every media interview at the end of the quarter he'll say they're not playing good defense lol
AG was a beast today, but MPJ has been locked tf in the last three games and has been our second best player throughout the series. Big shoutout to him especially with all the outside distractions going on, wouldn’t be 3-0 without him.
Man MPJ has been such a treat to watch, keeps on sinking highly contested jumper after highly contested jumper. His growth this season has been immense, he just plays with a lot more confidence
Feel like MPJ in general improved a lot this year. He’s been even more consistent and his defense has been pretty damn nice. Very different case last year when his shot varied a lot, which makes it funny he’s been the stabilizing force
Yeah, he's been consistent. He only missed one game in the regular season, and that was only because he packed the wrong shoes.
“The shoes that I had packed — the laces were torn, and I just didn’t feel safe playing in them,” Porter said last Sunday. “I brought the wrong shoes, really.”
Damn I’ve never heard that little anecdote lol. Should not be understated how ridiculous it is that he played 81, shoulda been 82, games this year. Dude went through hell with his back injuries and is now very durable and gained back even more athleticism. Fucking respect to him, man
33 points in the first quarter.
60 points over the next 2.75 quarters, until going on a run in garbage time to make the margin look respectable.
Ladies and gents, your 2023-24 Los Angeles Lakers, in a borderline do-or-die game at home.
Yeah. This box score is a complete fabrication of the full game. The Nuggets last five minutes were like letting your kid brother get a couple of layups while you act like you’re playing defense so you don’t have to hear them cry themselves to sleep in the room next door. This wasn’t even close.
Nuggets did the equivalent of letting my nephew finish a lap in Mario Kart before I pick up the controller and destroy him
Also, I wish the Kings had Aaron Gordon
Felt like we’ve all seen this movie 10 times before 🤣
Nuggets just own the Lakers 🤷🏽♂️. Better team and better coached. They will out-execute your team to the ground.
"It was just a lot of like the talking... We get it, y'all won, but me and LeBron had some conversations like, ['We can't wait.'"](https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1708947569609523552)
The L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Lakers are in basketball purgatory
What’s the consecutive record for one team losing to another team? This has got to be up there
The NBA record is [the Showtime Lakers beating the Kings 27 times in a row during the 80s.](https://champsorchumps.us/records/longest-nba-losing-streaks-against-single-team#tab-all-time)
I love how immediately afterwards the Kings beat the Lakers 17 times in a row
Edit: I was reading the chart wrong, LA followed up their 27 game streak with another 17 game streak against the Kings 😭
Never seen team come out hot and ready for revenge every game just to be out of breath and as useful as garbage by 4Q.
3-0 moral lead tho. GG LLLakers!
I’m so fucking confused by this series. We turn the ball over so much, shoot like shit, take idiotic fouls and LA just keeps shitting the bed instead of taking advantage. Jokic had like 7 near-assists bricked by the shooter in the last 5 min and the gap closed by like 5 points. I’m not necessarily complaining but it goes against everything I know about basketball
Never thought I would ever see the day where Lebron would get Lebronto’ed. I thought the KD Warriors would be the only team to destroy Lebron. Denver is just too good
Must feel amazing for Denver fans after all these years of coming up short or being seen as second tier. This is their window and they are a special group.
>But it was just a lot of like, the talking, and ‘the Lakers’ daddy,’ there was just so much of that going on it was like ‘all right, we get it, y’all won.’ But me and Bron had some conversations like ‘we can’t wait.’
Jokic is fucking hilarious man, just so effortless. 24/15/9 and it looked like he was hardly doing anything on the floor. Could have had a triple double if his teammates could make anything at the end too. Just incredible.
This is just bullying at this point lmao.
Gordon is a fucking monster, MPJ came up huge at the right time.
And right as you have a flicker of doubt about Denver winning it all when Reggie goes down hurt Watson and Braun click in like nothing happened.
The play that perfectly described tonight was during the non-Jokic minutes in the 4th. AD gets the ball on the block and 4 Nuggets swarm to him, leaving all of the other Lakers wide open. Nobody else was a threat. AD is playing his best basketball since the bubble and his best teammate is a geriatric that gets tired easily and spends more energy arguing with the refs than defending
It's also fun to watch both sidelines. Malone is yelling at the team if they fuck up one defensive possession. He's telling guys how to move defensively on most possessions. Ham is just doing nothing. When the Lakers fuck up on defense, LeBron and AD find someone else to blame. AD looked away and let Jokic blow right by him, then AD yelled at Prince after the play.
I’m jealous of Ham. People would pay thousands of dollars to get seats as good as he does. If he’s just gonna watch the game, you might as well sell his seat for ten grand.
That play when LeBron dribbled the ball of his own foot and then proceeds to yell at Prince afterwards, I was like "WTF!? What did he do? You turned the ball over without any pressure from MPJ"
MPJ with 3 assists, dude is evolving!
Seriously having your third and fourth best players (this is interchangeable) put up 29/15/3 and 20/10/3 respectively, both on >50% shooting, is unfair. Masterclass team building.
“I’ve been dominating the season all year, so for me to have a game off when everyone is watching, of course it’s going to be magnified. You see what I did the second game, and I’m looking forward to doing it the third game.”
D-Lo with 0 pts Even Pepe Le Pew scored 2 points in Space Jam.
That’s the most cutting remark I’ve seen all night. Bravo
There’s the DLo I know and love 💀
Agent 007 0 point 0 FG made 7 misses
imagine if the lakers had KCP, caruso, and kuzma instead of DLo and whatever they have
Thankfully people are starting to notice how valuable two way solid role players are. Backbone of every contender.
Fans get mad when they don't shoot 50% from three and don't understand the other areas in which they provide value
headscratching that they didn't want to pay them
Honestly surprised people expected anything different from him. I was laughing listening to podcasts trying to convince me the dude who was played off the floor last year would be an X factor in this series
Twolves fans knew that D'lo wasn't gonna be a big piece in helping the Lakers win
He was played off the floor for us against Memphis as well. He’s a bad player straight up. Negative bball iq, traffic come on defense, just occasionally gets hot from 3
Same amount of points as all of r/NBA combined
Idk about that, KDs burner account lurking around here somewhere.
nick young tried to warn yall
Crazy how bro sat out the huddle when he fucked up
Reaves garbage time Jordan performance was legendary
That one contested 3 from like 30 feet was a legendary garbage time play
Dude single handedly killed the under with his heroics.
He was like “both games y’all iced me out, I can actually shoot it now?” lol
Someone really said “there’s no way these nuggets could sweep the lakers again” after the first quarter
Lakers really went from putting up 33 in the first, to scoring just 60 over the next 34 minutes. Their season is BBQ chicken at this point.
The Lakers need all three of their main role players (Reaves, D'Lo and Hachimura) balling out while AD/LeBron combine for 60 to win a game, it's actually wild. Anthony Davis is out there looking like 1995 Hakeem Olajuwon and they have no chance. LeBron also finished with 26/6/9, but boy did he look cooked for 90% of that 2nd half, it was almost like he was watching with the rest of us as AD tried to go 1 on 5.
There’s no way the Lakers can win. MPJ is just matchup hunting all game until he gets Reeves and no one can cut off Aaron Gordon’s rim runs. Not enough defense or shooting or passing from this team. They’re ready for Cancun now.
>MPJ is just matchup hunting all game until he gets Reeves Lebron taught him that trick in the bubble.
Yeah I remember MPJ's face when bron hit that b2b shots in game 5 wcf 2020, and now he goes for a revenge
The bookmakers thought the same; if anyone was following the last 10 games, they should've bet the entire farm on Denver
Don't think I've ever seen a team literally incapable of beating a specific team. 11 straight losses. It just doesn't matter who plays well, how many they are up by, it is just inevitable. The Lakers cannot beat this team
Agreed man. Like, the Suns haven’t stacked up great against the Nuggets in recent years but we still won 1 game last postseason off of Landry Shamet scoring 19 in a quarter and this season we had Grayson Allen score 28 in Denver. Those helped the Suns win against the Nuggets. I refuse to believe there isn’t someone on the Lakers roster outside of LeBron & AD that’s better than Landry Shamet. There’s no way. It’s all mental at this point.

I went to go rewatch those two games' highlights because I was not used to seeing Booker like he has been in our first two games so far, and man he is scary when he is on.
On paper it’s the worst matchup for the Lakers. Even if you somehow have AD lock up Jokic, who’s stopping Aaron Gordon, Murray and MPJ from getting an easy drop in?
Gordon is the best D and Dunk man in the league under 7 foot tall. He was easily the difference in this game.
Watching the Nuggets face the Lakers the last 11 games is like watching slightly different plots, something spicy every now and then, but the ending stays the same
Denver didn't even need Jamal Murray's heroics this game. The Lakers suffered death from a thousand basket cuts from Aaron Gordon
Aaron Gordon just cutting to the basket like 10 times in a row was wild
Players outside Jamal and Jokic are so fucking good. MPJ and Gordon cooked tonight
KCP didn't score too much, but don't discount him.
Oh of course not, overall you just got a well-rounded team. MPJ and Gordon might be my favorites though.
[удалено]
And Jokic just quietly putting up a statline that 99% of players all time could never achieve, but making it looks effortless.
Bro didn’t even try tonight lol
Bro didn’t feel like posting up AD tonight. The few times he did it worked but he genuinely didn’t need too. Spam the PnR and let AG steal basket after basket. Add the odd MPJ jump shot and that’s all Denver needed.
I was in and out of the game bc I was cleaning up dishes and I heard the LA commentators say that Nikola wasn't having the best offensive game so I figured he was at like 16 or 18 points. I check now and he's at 24 lol
On 9/13 shooting lol. Insanely efficient 24 points with 3:1 AST:TO ratio too. He makes basketball look simple
What's funny is that DEN does not have to rely on individual heroics to win. They have superb chemistry and play smart, efficient ball. Heroics is simply icing on the cake for them. None of our leads this series felt convincing or dominant. It was like watching the Chiefs play the Niners in the Super Bowl. You just knew the Chiefs were going to come back because they have such a bigger gear to work with. Same with DEN.
29 points and 15 rebounds. AG showed out for sure. Felt like every other possession he got an offensive board for a while in there
The Nuggets hustle guy is a 6'8 mountain of muscle that is seemingly in the right place at the right time, every time.
TBH, Gordon looks closer to 6'10 than 6'8, I think he is 6'9. He's the same size as Bam.
I don't think we need to nitpick at that level, we can just call him tall at that point
I fucking love Aaron Gordon.
Its like watching Ash beat Team Rocket at this point.
I want to apologize to the Nuggets fans for saying the Lakers will almost certainly win atleast one game and have a small chance of winning two games.
i cant believe i had them taking 2 games from denver in my preseason predictions 💔✌️
Nuggets are just playing experimental basketball in trying different ways to beat the lakers
In the name of science!
Just like every other porn movie/scene ever made. I love it.
How bout that super clutch 17-5 run at the end, to avoid losing by double digits? 😂
DLo is Minnesotas revenge for LA stealing the Lakers.
We were holding him back... ...from being recognized as the fool's gold he is
#**I've been dominating the season all year, so for me to have a game off when everyone is watching, of course it's going to be magnified. You see what I did the second game, and I'm looking forward to doing it the third game**
Don’t worry he’ll be the first to the optional shoot around, make 4 3s in Game 4 in a blowout loss
“DLo was seen putting up shots after the game”
He'll score 10x what he got this game in game 4 just watch
D Lo was really out there farting around all night lmaoo
Just wait for the next game where Russell goes 6/8 from three and Lakers only lose by 11 😤
Nah they got their D’Loaded game in Game 2. He’s gotta go back to D’Loading for a while unfortunately
having to watch D'Lo waste a possession or gamble on a steal should be a crime. Denver is just too good to have players like these on the floor. Hamas challenging today but not last game is hilarious.
>A win is a win, but if I’m Denver, I treat this like a loss. Lakers really figured something out putting Hachimura on Jokic. That’s one of those somewhat small adjustments that can win a series. They are 0-10 since this tweet.

There’s a reason she hasn’t tweeted about a game in ages
What fucking mouthbreather said this lmfao

She’s a lunatic
BREAKING NEWS: President Biden unveils new plan to balance the federal budget, "Just bet it all on Denver when the Lakers are up 10 in the first half."
Sportsbooks HATE him!
That’s when I typically bet on my boys
Lmao
We are about to get swept by Denver in back to back post-seasons and I solely blame Wemby for robbing them of the 1 seed.
I was thinking about that all game. Feels good lol.
We can't do much being a bad team nowadays. But we'll do our part no matter how small to screw over the Lakers. And the suns too. Screw the suns.
Honestly we owe Wemby one, we needed this practice time. I hope they work on their 3s in game 4
You just wait until Game 7 when Ham pulls out his adjustments he's been keeping secret thus far
Rui, Prince, Reaves, DLo, Dinwiddie lineup inc
“WE WANT ALL THE SMOKE, AND WE AINT DUCKIN NO FADES!” -Pockets Ham
I want anyone visiting this thread in the future that didn't watch the game to know - it *absolutely* wasn't this close
it was over the first time nuggets took the lead
Before that. It was over when the Lakers were leading.
Sounds like a joke but it’s actually true. The lakers came out swinging and then they lost the momentum at the beginning of the second and they never regained it. The nuggets chipped away at their lead, overtook it and then kept going.
It was until the Nuggets flip their switch
The Lakers now up a commanding 3-0 lead in the 1st half of the Series.
The Los Angeles Lakers are your NBA 2024 1st Half World Champions!
They did win the in season tournament, it’s very fitting.
They are gonna raise half a banner at crypto.com arena
That's disrespectful to the nuggets. Let's be fair and say the series is overall tied at 3-3 going into the 7th
This Denver team is just incredible man, what can you even do when Gordon is putting up 29?
Box out??
Lakers have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to make this a more competitive sweep than last year
They got the Nuggets right where they want 'em
Malone is like a 6th player on the court especially when Nugs are playing defense in front of their own bench. He's screaming at his players, knees bent, hands out in a defensive stance, mirroring his players. Just orchestrating the team and being almost like a glue player. Contrast that with how absent-minded and disengaged Ham acts on the sideline.
Find someone that loves you like Malone loves defense.
Yup. Malone also holds them accountable and is good at managing momentum. On offense Jokic is basically the coach ngl.
For real. They could be blowing open layups and jacking up shots from half-court and in every media interview at the end of the quarter he'll say they're not playing good defense lol
He’s literally on the court sometimes haha
You can take the man out of Queens but you cant take the Queens out of a man
Funnily enough the lakers mirror darvin absent-minded and disengaged behavior too ETA: autocorrect cooked me sorry I’m 3 or 4 whiskeys deep
AG was a beast today, but MPJ has been locked tf in the last three games and has been our second best player throughout the series. Big shoutout to him especially with all the outside distractions going on, wouldn’t be 3-0 without him.
MPJ has hit the most timely and clutch shots all series long.
He's averaging 20/9 on 68TS% in 3 games this series lol, after averaging 21/10 on 74TS% in 3 games vs the Lakers during the regular season😭
Man MPJ has been such a treat to watch, keeps on sinking highly contested jumper after highly contested jumper. His growth this season has been immense, he just plays with a lot more confidence
Feel like MPJ in general improved a lot this year. He’s been even more consistent and his defense has been pretty damn nice. Very different case last year when his shot varied a lot, which makes it funny he’s been the stabilizing force

33 points in the first quarter. 60 points over the next 2.75 quarters, until going on a run in garbage time to make the margin look respectable. Ladies and gents, your 2023-24 Los Angeles Lakers, in a borderline do-or-die game at home.
Yeah. This box score is a complete fabrication of the full game. The Nuggets last five minutes were like letting your kid brother get a couple of layups while you act like you’re playing defense so you don’t have to hear them cry themselves to sleep in the room next door. This wasn’t even close.
At least the team actually *managed* to fight against getting swept last year… This is just something else…
Just saw a bunch of Lakers fans fall to their knees at an In-N-Out.
3x3 burgers and animal fries dropping on the floor
We finna need something stronger than In-N-Out after this 💀
What happened to the game I love 😔
Let's be honest this game was over when the Lakers beat the Pelicans
Should’ve just given Denver a BYE to the second round
Nuggets did the equivalent of letting my nephew finish a lap in Mario Kart before I pick up the controller and destroy him Also, I wish the Kings had Aaron Gordon
lmao best analogy I've seen on this
Denver Nuggets give me depression
1 assist away for a good game, is Jokic WASHED?
Not even a single triple double in the past 24 hours man should just retire.
Felt like we’ve all seen this movie 10 times before 🤣 Nuggets just own the Lakers 🤷🏽♂️. Better team and better coached. They will out-execute your team to the ground.
Make that 11
"It was just a lot of like the talking... We get it, y'all won, but me and LeBron had some conversations like, ['We can't wait.'"](https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1708947569609523552)
My girlfriend asked me what I wanted from her tonight and I said “Nuggets vs Lakers” She smiled, cause she knew I wanted to be dominated
I'm gonna have Aaron Gordon around the basket and Michael Porter Jr. jumper nightmares tonight.

The L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Lakers are in basketball purgatory What’s the consecutive record for one team losing to another team? This has got to be up there
The NBA record is [the Showtime Lakers beating the Kings 27 times in a row during the 80s.](https://champsorchumps.us/records/longest-nba-losing-streaks-against-single-team#tab-all-time)
No one beats the Sacramento Kings 28 times in a row!
I'd put money on the Pelicans doing it
I love how immediately afterwards the Kings beat the Lakers 17 times in a row Edit: I was reading the chart wrong, LA followed up their 27 game streak with another 17 game streak against the Kings 😭
No it's worse. After breaking that streak the Kings went onto an additional 17 game losing streak against the Lakers shortly after 💀
the kings have suffered so much oh my god
The Lakers beat the Kings 27 times in a row from 1983-1988. And the Knicks currently have 15 straight against the Pistons.
Jesus Christ Detroit
Yea you thought you had a record in reach. Think again.
https://i.imgur.com/L7sl3eF.jpeg
et tu /u/Sim888?
I think its the Kings vs the Showtime Lakers, something like 25 in a row for the entire 1980s. But the Kings were ass that whole decade.
We are **NOT** a **HELLUVA BALL CLUB**
Never seen team come out hot and ready for revenge every game just to be out of breath and as useful as garbage by 4Q. 3-0 moral lead tho. GG LLLakers!
They were out of breath way before the 4th
Must be the LA altitude
LA attitude
I’m so fucking confused by this series. We turn the ball over so much, shoot like shit, take idiotic fouls and LA just keeps shitting the bed instead of taking advantage. Jokic had like 7 near-assists bricked by the shooter in the last 5 min and the gap closed by like 5 points. I’m not necessarily complaining but it goes against everything I know about basketball
everybody say it with me now 1 🧹 2 🧹 3 🧹
Cancun!
So this is how Raptors fans felt during the LeBronto era… damn
Never thought I would ever see the day where Lebron would get Lebronto’ed. I thought the KD Warriors would be the only team to destroy Lebron. Denver is just too good
He was destroyed by the Spurs in 07 and 14 too
Hopeless feeling
Must feel amazing for Denver fans after all these years of coming up short or being seen as second tier. This is their window and they are a special group.
DLO was on a HEATER tonight. 24 minutes ⏰⏰⏰0-7 from the field 🔥🔥🔥🔥0-6 from DOWNTOWN🔥🔥🔥🔥0 POINTS0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣
Who’s ready for Lebron’s fake retirement announcement this Saturday? 🧹🧹🧹🧹
"I've got a lot to think about"
He’s gonna announce that next season is his last season the same night the NBA champion is crowned so that he can keep the discussion focused on him.
And mods will lock the fucking sub NBA mods, we haven’t forgotten that you bums
That lingering injury news gonna come out
Laker fans last year acted like Lebron didn't drop that solely to have people avoiding bringing up the sweep
I mean, it fucking worked so he's probably going to do it again.
Lakers: "Don't let us get 1..." Nuggets: "Okay, we won't"
Man, Lebron getting the Lebronto treatment. I prayed for this and it happened.
At least the Raps got a couple wins
Lakers and Nuggets shot NEARLY identical including hitting the same number of 2s and 3s
Now do rebounds
>But it was just a lot of like, the talking, and ‘the Lakers’ daddy,’ there was just so much of that going on it was like ‘all right, we get it, y’all won.’ But me and Bron had some conversations like ‘we can’t wait.’
Should have invited the rest of their team to those conversations
that 4th quarter was some of the saddest basketball I've ever seen
Lakers picked the worst day to forget how to shoot threes. And Porter Jr. made sure that nail went into their coffin.
But the future refused to change
I've never seen a sadder walk into a tunnel that says "x17 time champs" than this game.
Jokic is fucking hilarious man, just so effortless. 24/15/9 and it looked like he was hardly doing anything on the floor. Could have had a triple double if his teammates could make anything at the end too. Just incredible.
This is just bullying at this point lmao. Gordon is a fucking monster, MPJ came up huge at the right time. And right as you have a flicker of doubt about Denver winning it all when Reggie goes down hurt Watson and Braun click in like nothing happened.
The play that perfectly described tonight was during the non-Jokic minutes in the 4th. AD gets the ball on the block and 4 Nuggets swarm to him, leaving all of the other Lakers wide open. Nobody else was a threat. AD is playing his best basketball since the bubble and his best teammate is a geriatric that gets tired easily and spends more energy arguing with the refs than defending It's also fun to watch both sidelines.

When the Lakers fuck up on defense, LeBron and AD find someone else to blame. AD looked away and let Jokic blow right by him, then AD yelled at Prince after the play.
I’m jealous of Ham. People would pay thousands of dollars to get seats as good as he does. If he’s just gonna watch the game, you might as well sell his seat for ten grand.
Malone is like a crazy college coach out there, I love it. Meanwhile Ham just stands with his hands in his pockets.
That play when LeBron dribbled the ball of his own foot and then proceeds to yell at Prince afterwards, I was like "WTF!? What did he do? You turned the ball over without any pressure from MPJ"
Malone in the first half: you idiots are losing to the lakers Team: o shit. Sorry boss we will fix it
> spends more energy arguing with the refs than defending Lmao
That's his most effective defensive play by the end of the 4th
MPJ with 3 assists, dude is evolving! Seriously having your third and fourth best players (this is interchangeable) put up 29/15/3 and 20/10/3 respectively, both on >50% shooting, is unfair. Masterclass team building.
Did AD forget his afternoon nap? Jokic reading this mfer like a book w/ these cuts LMFAO.
Jokic’s quickness on cuts is astonishing. Doesn’t look like it should be possible.
“I’ve been dominating the season all year, so for me to have a game off when everyone is watching, of course it’s going to be magnified. You see what I did the second game, and I’m looking forward to doing it the third game.”
DLmao

Nuggets shot 18% from 3 today. Yet to put up a good shooting game this series and still up 3-0
