It would have looked nice on LeBron's resume but Cleveland still had 0 chance of making that series competitive. That's why it was hard to get too down about that L. Instead of 4-0 it would've been 4-1.
Last night's gag on the other hand basically ended what would've been a very competitive series.

LeBron put your head down and drive. You're not getting foul calls? Tough **** stop whining and jacking threes
LeBron shot 3/6 from 3? Ok, well the 3 misses were huge momentum killers
LeBron stop being passive and take over. Stop hijacking the offense and move the ball
LeBron let DLo and Reaves play point... Why does LeBron only have 8 points in the half?
LeBron box out Gordon he's getting too many offensive rebounds. Also you left MPJ open, at least try to contest
LeBron scored 12 in the 4th? Ok but how many did he score in the 3rd?
LeBron take Jokic, AD is in foul trouble
LeBron guard Murray our guards are getting torched
LeBron coach the team. Ham doesn't know what he's doing
You did all that and we still lost? Must've been playing no defense. Stop stat padding
You're tired? Tough **** this is just what all max players do. Either retire or take a pay cut so Pelinka can realize his vision, old man.
^Average Laker fan post-loss discussion on social media the last 3 seasons. I can't believe he thought it was a good idea to go to this team to play for these fans, let alone going to them in his mid 30s while they have the single most incompetent front office in the league. Bro is getting slandered because they built a roster that needs him to play like 2016 finals games 5-7 at all times just to take a game off the first contender they face.

As far as this game goes, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen, we've basically seen the same game 6 straight times now. This one was just a little closer in the end.

Like ya, dude coulda done some more and he wasnt perfect, but he came in with a great gameplan that put the Lakers in a great position to win on the road against the defending champs. He coulda made a challenge and maybe made some other adjustments (difficult to adjust when the strategy built you a huge lead), but i thought the coaching staff did a good enough job last night.
This ones on the players and on the nuggets for just making plays. MPJ 3 under duress and 2 incredible shots by Murray while being guarded well...and on other end, missed ft by Lebron, missed open 3 by Rui, missed open 3 by Reaves, missed open 3 by Lebron.
1 team was perfect to end the game making some very tough shots and the other missed some very make-able looks. Thats the NBA

You don't see the criticism for the guy who refused to keep doing what worked in the first half? The guy who froze out AD after a dominant 2.5 quarters? The guy who refused to challenge a questionable call with 58 seconds left that could have been the difference in the game despite having 2 timeouts left? The guy who refused to call a timeout for the last LAKERS shot (not last shot) despite having 2 left? The guy who didn't do offense/defense subs after a Nuggets timeout despite having 2 left? Just leaving DLo and Austin in to get burned on a possession?
