Series Thread: 1st Round: 2) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers

The Lakers whistle...

 

[SpringStein]

Driving home from the game. A few thoughts:
Lakers had three guys play 40+ minutes. None for Nuggets
Not much energy from LBj in the last quarter
Was surprised Malone went 10 deep tonight. Didn’t really expect more than 8. Gordon getting two quick fouls changed the game plan.
Last year in playoffs, MPJ was a negative - by a lot. I expect him to be a positive this year. Had an average game tonight.

I still think Lakers will win at least a game and likely two.

What crap did I talk during the game?

im not saying you did im just comparing it. the other nugget fan here the same thing. even without saying it you guys showing up in the 4th with a double digit lead posting is sort of selective maybe. maybe you would have "eventually" posted after the game ended had it gone another way.

Actually I’m riding. My SIL is the driver.

 

[Mecca]

Just what he does

In the playoffs, yep.

Harden and PG play tomorrow.

Let’s see if the trend of prolific playoff shrinkage continues.

D'lo was his usual trash self in the playoffs. Lakers completely stopped running any kind of offense in the 2nd half. Could see that loss coming miles away

I do not think James is listening much to Ham.

Probably wants him fired in the offseason.

 

[DJ]

Good game. It was fun yall. We all have fun.. Nothing personal. We are all together on this. Families fight too. Its all BS. and sports. Nothing personal.

Okay, Downsie.

 

[tlance]

Well.. Its over. Brunson/Doncic/Wemby. Do it LA, or keep going on this path. . Make it happen and I'll support you.. Wemby is gonna be GOAT. You better nab him now.. What I say goes

You have said some dumb stuff.

This takes the cake.

Of course that is a championship core.

Also impossibly unrealistic to get all those guys together unless signing 1 piece at a time in San Antonio where Wemby is in a rookie deal.

​

I’m an idiot. goodnight

You are an idiot.

The Lakers are going to lose this series in all likelihood.

But you still don’t tank a play in game.

 

[Black Adam]

Okay, Downsie.

Pretty clear that kid ain't wrapped too tight...

Happy Sunday, Sir Lance-a-lot.

Last night was basically a replay of what's been happening since last seasons playoffs.

Lebron/AD vs. Joker/Murray was basically a wash (AD/Lebron outscored Joker/Murray by 5).

So, it came down to D-Lo, Reaves and Rui vs KCP, Gordon and MPJ. The Nugs 3 outscored them by 10.

I saw surprised at how bad of a shooting game Murray had last night.

D-lo said "hold my beer"...

It also seemed like Lebron was MIA in the 4th quarter which I know was a criticism last year in the WCF too.

The Lakers whistle...

The cry of the uninformed boxscore fan. Do you expect free throws with your wide open jumpers and unimpeded bunnies?
