Masterful treat if you're a big man maximalist.

Both ogres showed out.

The Lakers run was predictable.

Making it that tight was not.

Probably better for the Nugs that they got that scare compared to a 20 point drubbing.

Series is alive now.

pete2345 · 05-16-2023, 10:23 PM

Lakers need kobe back for any chance. Leflop looking old and slow no touch from deep.

yiguiri2002 · 05-16-2023, 10:23 PM

At the end of the day, both teams shot pretty much the same. So much for the hot Nuggets shooting.

You know the trolling is in overdrive when Pete shows up in the basketball section for the first time all year.

Can't recall the last time I saw a total go up 8 from the previous game. Think they open at 227.

Braswell10 · 05-16-2023, 10:26 PM

Having AD as the secondary defender on Jokic was a great adjustment.

pete2345 · 05-16-2023, 10:28 PM

Ad with 40 and still an L sleep well Laker bois.

ninjacookies · 05-16-2023, 10:28 PM

LA needs to dramatically improve on those Yoakur flat screens. Led to far too many wide open 3 point looks early.

They got better in the second half, but they're going to have to get AD more involved on those switch offs at the top.

And a waste because they made so many idiotic plays that game. What a waste of a come back. That one play burns me.

LeBron has Murray on him with 5 fouls. Punishing him all night no one in the paint. Instead of driving slows it up. You’re down not up. Take it to the hole. Then settles for an open 3. Dumb play… so aggravating to watch

duron · 05-16-2023, 10:29 PM

Just a little more penne and hydration stations and the Lakers should have the next one in way-up-high Denver, as per the pregame analysis.

Yep. That was the play that had me yelling at my tv. Wide open lane, mismatched defender with 5 fouls. Let’s pull up for three.

NeedChapmans · 05-16-2023, 10:30 PM

How can you not like this guy? Even when Denver wins, LA wins.

Blew an opportunity and you can’t afford that against a team like Denver. Must win game 2.

Idk why he always dribbles the air out of the ball. Usually he gets a good shot. But you’re down. And the perfect opportunity was present. Very frustrating loss. Nuggets in 6-7 imo

Nick Wright is really a wannabe Skip Bayless.

My spirit animal.

Yoakur and Fossil were both pretty dismal in those waning moments if we're honest with ourselves.

But Serb played flawlessly those first 36 minutes.

I think a lot of people will read into a lot of things over the next two days that won't matter. LA people will say they figured some things out / DEN people will say we took their best punch from AD and LeBron and still won ...

1-0 Denver. Next game Thursday. The rest is fodder for the masses.

Big facts.

But what he said was not contextually incorrect. So I see nothing particularly egregious about it.

Game 2 will be fun.

Bring the pain.
