They just can't beat this team. All Denver needs is a quarter. A great quarter by them or a bad one by LA. Hell not even a a full quarter...6mins and thats all they need.

•Stopped running offense in the second half when it got close like he always does when he gets scared.
•Went away from AD who was dominating. Run some plays for him especially P+R.
•Took way too long to put DLo in when they desperately needed offense.
•Refused to challenge a very soft foul call on LeBron with very little time left. Easily could have been overturned. He just sat there.
•Refused to call timeout to draw up a play for the Lakers last shot.
He is so unfathomably bad I really think he might be gambling on games. It doesn’t make any sense for him to be this bad.

Dlo stood up but they need more than 1 person.
Anyhow the above is clear because the Nuggets are just a better team. Tonight would have been massive (likely lost 4-2 if they won still)
But now it looks closer to being a sweep again. That loss would hurt you mentally, especially when you are the weaker team.

I agree on the points, but LeBron got a wide open 3. Can't really ask for a better look.
Lakers keep going away from their offense that's working in the 1st half.

Thats the crazy part
I feel like we aren't far apart
But we had 3.5 guys show up tonight
Vincent has been a bust. Defense is not bad, but he fouls a lot, and he is useless on offense rn
Rui has been horrible these 2 games and looks scared. Turned down a decent 3. Not the same guy in the reg season
Reaves as struggled with KCP on offense, bt at least playing solid D
Hayes is horrible, low iq. Jokic is a horrible matchup for low IQ thin C.
Lets see how the rest of the series goes.
How it goes determines what this team needs to do this summer or what Bron needs to do
If its a sweep, they need to make a big change or Bron needs to walk

They lose because of the coaching difference. I’m not saying they beat Denver with a different coach but they win a few of those 10 games. Tonight for sure.
