Round 1 - Denver

[Maf]

We don't hang division banners round here. So Let's go right at it and find out where we stand. We ain't duckin and dodgin anybody. We got 17. Let's get 18

Since you won one division tittle in 12 years you should probably start with it...

Nah we'll leave that up to lame fans like you. We'll be alright, always have and always will.

Joker is no joke. He out ran out guards on the break.

Time to earn your money, Ham.

So... he outran our guards and it's Ham's fault? How about he's the best player on the floor by a good margin and he did what best players do?

Nah, that’s not what I meant.

Two separate thoughts can be true at once, no? I guess I should’ve post padded for clarity.

Cmon man, call me when you at least get into double digits. These kids nowadays. Win 1 chip and all the sudden they believe themselves to be all time greats. Give em an inch, they take a mile. Get themselves some candy, next thing you know they wanna beer. Take the little steps 1st kid, then try to maneuver your way...sheesh

GAME 2

We’ve tried this starting lineup. We’re 0-9. The defense of the starting guards is simply not good enough.

Ham, a drastic change-up is needed, even if just against Denver. Gotta give Malone a different look.

Start Dinwiddie and Vincent, let Reaves and D Lo lead the bench mob. For starting lineup defensive reasons.

Defense!

[TylersLakers]

Just too many dry spells. You can’t not score against this team.

Pain.

[Jedi32]

Unfortunately that's series. No way we are going to win 4 out of 5 against this team. Hate to say it, but it's time to blow it up, and that includes Lebron. It's time to move in another direction.

[Beethoven]

Get rid of the coach. Phil Jackson would have made it 1-1 or 2-0

[Jedi32]

Ham definitely has to go too. The only folks I'm keeping are AR15 and Vando. Everyone else needs to go. You don't bounce back from a collapse like this in the playoffs. This series and this team's run is over

[TyCobb]

That’s a wrap. Nuggets operate like a heavyweight boxer—just letting the opponent give them their best shot early on and just wear them down till the final round then step on the gas and wipe the floor with them.

[loveshaq007]

why the hell did LeBron not run the clock out a little bit more before trying to go for a shot??

[stan francisco]

That hurt.

[Hans1984]

The team played their hearts out and still lost both games. Not looking good.

[Liam_Gallagher]

We're done.

Such an unhappy season, man.

- slow start from Reaves and Rui in October and November
- Ham prioritizing Prince and Redish over Rui until February
- Vincent and Vando hurt most of the season
- picking JHS over Jacquez, Pods, Whitmore
- LeBron and AD healthy all season yet still 7 seed (we were a 9 seed most of season)
- Ham shuffling rotation first half the season
- had high expectations going into season

This one won't be in the archives for me, dude.

Why are AR15 and Vando keepers? Vando is a tradeable contract IMO and is unplayable in the playoffs.

The better question is why did the Lakers go away from the PnR in the whole 4th quarter? That was their bread and butter that DEN couldn't stop.

Yeah I'm afraid Vando will never develop a consistent corner 3. AR15 may end up being traded this summer.

Should be what we do but I think the Lakers will wait to rebuild until after next season since the Pelicans are deferring the pick swap to until next year.

[Jedi32]

That reverse call on that D lo foul hurt. It was clear he was hit.
