Bron had 40,10,9 last game 4 against these guys facing elimination. Played the whole game.

I wonder if hes gonna empty the clip again or itll be like game 4 Vs Warriors in 2018 where the team just accepted defeat and gave up

Why bring Wood back now lol. He couldn't play Game 3 but an extra day's rest is gonna make him ready for Game 4?

Put D Lo in some bubble wrap. Last thing we need is for him to break a leg so he opts in and we can’t trade him. You think I’m joking but that’s the type of **** that’s running through my mind right now.

He's not going to play much defense tonight and I expect the game to slips out of the Lakers hopes early on.

Still Lakers money as public basing on the line movement. Nuggets still -3.5 (moved to 4.0 over the day but went back to 3.5 by game time). Denver's slow starts ain't happening tonight and this one is done early. Good riddance, Lakers!

Playing possum is like the opposite of playing with your food isn’t it? It’s like your food playing with you.

I wouldn't take the Lakers +500 to win this game. 100% serious.

Only if you are a possum. This is like a lion playing possum, then when they wake up they play with their food.

This is what i was thinking here. LA knows they are dominated so a win here would only mean traveling back to Denver, where they are likely to be embarrassed again.

Do you still really want to go on the road for that? LOL

Yeah but that spread, really depends which Denver wants this. Maybe they want to play around again and let Lakers be in it and win by 2 points. LOL

Murray is shooting 38% from the field and 25% from 3 and Denver is up 3-0 lol

I'd play hard if I were Lebron. Could be his last playoff game.
