Fifty-two seconds left and the Lakers can take this one home with a win if they hit their shots and play Defense!!

The Lakers go home with a 4-game losing streak but this game was encouraging because the youngsters stayed with the Nuggies right to the very end.

The Lakers have yet to play Defense against him dating back awhile and he'll just keep doing that until the Lakers stop him.

I dont understand the thinking with these trades they did. Defense is always the problem with this team (offense is fine) and they never fix it. they never bring in defenders. Its hard to win titles when there isn't D

Nope, they never fixed their Defense because James doesn't want to play Defense. So the Lakers never fixed their Defense until DFS showed-up and now he is forcing others to play Defense and Redick is behind him.

Ewww, pork rinds are nasty, nasty. Like almost radioactive. Chips and fries? Dude, your waistline must be like getting large! lol.

Down 50 lbs over the past year and a half (most of that about a year ago though, plateaued).

Pork rinds are great if you get the flavored ones (especially BBQ or Buffalo, even Salt/Pepper). Plain ones I agree are awful.

Don't leave out Vanderbilt. Also, the acquisition of Luka has freed up Lebron to use more of his energy on defense, which has also made an impact.

With James, it's not as much want, but where do you want his energy spent. He can't go all out on defense and also be most of your offense.

That was the last shot that cinched it, but the Lakers were beat by the home whistle all night. Touch fouls on one end while the Nuggets are allowed aggressive contact. Jokic gets a very kind whistle most of the time.

lakers should whip on this Denver team in the playoffs should they meet .. But who knows. Donic is made of glass like AD was. Lakers just traded one offensively talented injury case for another really

This was a scheduled day off, nothing more. They decided to rest him (two more back to backs coming up this week, 6 games in 8 days). Terrible time to be short-handed by injuries.

Once again, the 3rd quarter killed the Lakers.

They played no defense the entire quarter and gave up way too many points.

Yes, the kept it close at the end of the quarter, but if they didn’t pull their typical 3rd quarter disappearing act, the go into the 4th with a decent lead.
