It was in and out

I don’t agree, he was open. Shot just didn’t fall.

Like how the Lakers fought back, but wish they woulda made the adjustment earlier...

 

[Duffman]

I’ll take 1/2 there. Anything helps.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Yeah but Denver offensively played about as good as you can play. They only need one on the road. If Denver loses that one they have no hope in this series.

Why does the NBA allow Rich Paul to sit behind the Lakers bench?

I call bullshit.

 

[All-Star Benchwarmer]

Lakers made it interesting.

Agreed. I think the adjustment putting Hachimura on Joker certainly helped. But the offensive rebounds were a killer imo...

Your 2nd team win game 1 and this is what you come on here to cry about

With the way the Nuggets almost blew at one point was a 20 point lead I’m definitely not as confident going in the game 2. Neither team has lost at home this postseason but I wouldn’t be shocked if the Lakers took Game 2.

I think some game script hurt the Nuggets. This is a series that will be about dictating pace. When Nuggets are up by a number you naturally slow that down and run more shot clock. The slower pace benefits Lakers. Lakers need to make Denver take the ball out of the basket and shoot foul shots to set their defense.

Problem with that adjustment even though it helped the comeback is it gives denver time to adjust. Leave that in the bag until game 2 and they wouldn't know what hit them

Good game nuggets. Not likely going to shoot 54% for the series

KCP is also one of his clients. Conflict of interest NBA has ignored literally the entire last decade. Crap.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

What exactly do we expect D Lo next deal to look like?

WTF is Darvon doing the 3 guard nonsense again?

Yeah, there's definitely something to that...

Lakers shot the same % as well lol
