AD is the only player on the Lakers who could have made that play against Murray... Anyone else would have gotten a Flag2...

Wow AD completely dominated the 4th on the both ends really. He’s putting in a serious bid for the Dpoy with this game

Green and Pope sucked on offense, but they really defended well tonight. Denver has some dudes who can hurt you and we kept them all in check. Great job by our bigs on Jokic as well. One of our better defensive performances of the year.

Green was not defending well in the 3rd quarter. Box score may say his supposed man didn't score that much but Davis and McGee erased some missed switches and not staying in front of Murry out there. Nothing huge but I didn't see any thing "really well" out there from him.

Gritted this one out. Missed too many FT's and the offense is Bron, Davis or someone bail us out with a shot late in the clock. That's where our issues are at the moment.

Chalk up the stupid tight game to flue like symptoms and just take it and move on... AD was incredible on D, LeBron was dominant, and we got just barely enough from the rest of the team... Also have to call out Caruso on D in the second half... He really was a game changer when he came in.

So Jokic is pretty much one of the biggest defensive liabilities in the league. Putting him in the pick n roll is a guaranteed easy shot. They have no chance come playoff time.

This was the first time I've seen Denver this year.... man, what a difference a year makes. Jokic looks like he's 15lbs heavier, further out of shape and slower than Ilgauskas in molasses. They don't look anything like last year's team right now.

There was a sequence late in the 4th where Alex C. Switched off of his man to cover another guy, the Denver swung the ball to the opposite corner and he hustled and contested the 3pt shot.... Damn that dude puts in work on defense.

I don’t understand. I thought he could only defend backups!

Put some respect on Caruso’s name. The dude is an elite guard defender.
