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

[thunderc]

You're arguing with a compartmentalized cult that's detached from reality...

I could have told you this last year during the Nuggets' championship chase, man.

I've seen my Pacers connections on Twitter call out the Lakers whistle (HINT: I wasn't one of them) and they're not even in the same conference...

Is there like an end of the year blowout with all these Pacers connections? Is it at the YMCA or the YWCA?

Nothing at all. Just chatter that I mostly read and make a point not to get too emotionally involved...

It’s been well documented and called out by multiple teams in the league about the Lakers whistle.

But sure, when 40 people are telling you one thing but you don’t wanna believe it, it’s them who are wrong. The Lakers just play harder than everyone else, that has to be it.

Also Denver has won 8 in a row vs LA including a sweep in the WCF and the season series this year, I’m not preparing for anything.

we will see how it goes soon. but i still think Denver got the advantage of calls in last years playoffs. you would have thought they were the home team in all 4 games. the "lakers whistles" are legit calls. if anything theres less fouls called than should be. a team that isnt great at shooting the 3 goes to the basket and post ups more often. Denver is 29th in the league in free throw attempts. 20th in free throws by opponent. the lakers are 2nd in both of those. there should be a large differential based on that.

Dumbass Steven A. Its not like Bron is on some G-league squad. He plays with AD for fuck sakes. LOL. And its not like Denver is a GOAT squad either. Either way, Lakers aint winning more than a game

He might like the fellas. That's why he tries to get so much attention on these boards.

I mean, it COULD be that he wants a good pegging, but this ain't the site for it...

Well, the political forum could be! A lot of the posters there get nailed on a daily basis

Nuggets in 7.

Yeah, if the series is at least competitive I'll accept that...

I agree that Cam Reddish is now an official asHam's decision to start him over Hachimura was a major blunder early in the season. At one point the Lakers were thinking of trading Hachimura and DRuss for a number of targets but now Ham should be credited for replacing Reddish with Hachimura for a number of very good reasons.

The Lakers are better team on the inside with Hachimura in there and Ham is using Reddish more sparingly as he goes to Prince and Hayes to spell Hachimura. Perhaps Reddish will be gone sooner rather than later.

The Darvin Ham lineup move that hurt the Lakers more than any other

Lakers head coach Darvin Ham has gotten lots of criticism for his lineup choices, but one may have sabotaged the first half of the season.

It’s all just hot take shit. This is what the world of sports media has become. The market is saturated with people trying to stand out so they try and out hot take each other over and over and over again. Nobody holds them accountable for the stupid shit they say because as soon as it’s time to call them out, they’ve already moved on to the next stupid shit they’re gonna say.

Like Perkins

 

[Retroram52]

Also, Vincent and Dinwiddie have become a pretty potent defensive duo and maybe that will be the key in slowing down Murray in this series.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Like Perkins

Great example
