Series Thread: 2023 Western Conference Finals: 1) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers (Bubble Rematch)

Well the Lakers tried. They had a really great turn-around seeing how they started the season.

Given how the season started, I certainly tip my hat to the Lakers, their resolve and ability to form the cohesiveness necessary to make it this far has been admirable

Maybe he will.

Finals MVP is now in play.

We’re going to see some amazing ball from somebody else if that doesn’t happen.

I think we may look back on these playoffs as the peak of one of the most skilled players we’ve ever seen.

Not that he won’t age well, cuz I think he will be a force until he can no longer jog. But this might be as good as that body gets.

Speaking of as good as it gets…

Was Jack Nicholson really there tonight? Lil lady showed me a Tik Tok..

I want to believe…

Lebron got 2 more years in him at max

 

[broncosmitty]

Embild was more worried about the mvp over anything
It showed

Watching him play makes me angry.

Davis loafing half the time gets to me. But I honestly don’t enjoy seeing Embiid play.

 

[bksballer89]

Sounded the same to me

Holy shit…

I just realized Vando was a DNP.

 

[Black Adam]

Sounded the same to me

Know soon enough, I guess. Which'll make things DOUBLE interesting here in Lakers land...

AD ain't an alpha even as the best player on this team...

Dude relies on ZERO athleticism…lol

He should have a long, prosperous career.

 

[bksballer89]

Maybe it just end of year frustrating but that didn't sound great tbh

Attention whore.

Now we have to listen to the will he won’t he for the entire fucking summer.

Probably...

Otoh, maybe it is that time...

Lol sooo refs missed 7 calls on Denver but 0 on the Lakers?

it was that way the whole series. denver got pretty much every call. like i said before it it could have been a foul they got it 90 percent of the time. there might have been once or twice the entire series. lakers got hacked with many no calls and denver got touch fouls at the other end. the announcers the entire nba said the flagrant foul in denver on murray was bs. the lakers had 3 or 4 times that exact contact happened and not a foul even..

LOL you don't believe this shit.

LOL you don't believe this shit.

find the denver missed calls they dont exist.

 

[broncosmitty]

Holy shit…

I just realized Vando was a DNP.

His playoff arch went quietly worse than DLo’s.

 

[trojanfight]

also i thought it was weak for the offical on the other side of the court to come reverse a out of bounds call. diving bodys on the floor zero chance he saw that. you guys acting like a tim donaghy didnt exist lol.

When Rui clearly grabbed Jokic jersey in the 2nd is one
