Jokic playing like ass

Yup and they are still ahead. Just watch him in the 2nd half.

And where has Russell gone? He is killing any chance of being signed into the future. If he is signed, it will be for trade purposes. Ham should really think about playing some of his players in the second half like maybe Bamba for a few minutes.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Should have told him a long time ago. He shouldn’t play but a few mins if that

Jokic was a no show

Yes but Murray has 30 at the half. That evens things out

 

[msgkings322]

I think the Lakers got this. Clamped down on defense 2nd quarter. Stay with it. Focus on Murray but he will cool off.

If the Lakers do their historical Third or Fourth Quarter fade-out or no-show, this series will be facing the very real possibility of a sweep or humiliation going back to Denver down 1-3.

I have no idea how they’re only down by 3 but I’ll take it!

Defense

I think the Lakers got this. Clamped down on defense 2nd quarter. Stay with it. Focus on Murray but he will cool off.

Especially when Joker is having a "down" game. The Lakers really need to shut this dude (Murray) down in the second half because he has become the dagger the Lakers didn't plan on.

Stephen A must have been watching a difrent game
Murray was going crazy versus Russell and also did a lot of damage versus Lebron when Ham tried LBJ instead.

But, once they put Schroeder on him (+3 box in only 10 minutes).....
Murray played more like a normal all star player instead of someone likely to break Wilt's 100 point record.

Schroeder wont be able to shut him down of course not. That is not going to happen.
But Schroeder made him at least work harder and also taunted him into a few rare composure mistakes.

 

[msgkings322]

Lebron should have stayed in Miami. They would be looking good now with Butler as lead dog and Lebron feeding him

What a god damned stupid post

 

[DorianRo]

You can see Silver's fingerprints all over this game try to extend this series and Save the Lakers. Hes as obvious as Herpes

 

[Retroram52]

If the Lakers do somehow get up by 9 or 10, they cannot afford blowing any major leads this game if they hope to even a series that can easily get away from them. Ham needs to really work on his substitution patterns because he appears to be faltering in that department a bit.

 

[Retroram52]

I wonder if a Vanderbilt would slow Murray down at all?

 

[trojanfight]

Denver don’t have not 1 missed call not a play you can say

 

[Shanemansj13]

DLo is still in LOL

 

[Shanemansj13]

DLo doesn’t belong on the court. Ham refuses to bench him

 

[Retroram52]

Once again, the Lakers lead in the stupid shit department. TOs are 9-2 in favor of the Lakers and this has been something that has plagued them all year.
