So Reaves would be a superstar if he had his own team, right?

Heartbreaking loss but I’m proud of these guys for fighting. Give me this Nuggets team in the playoffs, we will stomp their ass.

Laker fans can talk as much **** as they want after this, that was just outright embarrassing by the Nuggets. They do not want to see this team come playoff time.

Plumlee got rightfully ejected. I wish the NBA would do the same for egregious flops like Monk's.


I know reading is hard
. I said those guys' flopping should be called out too. But Monk should absolutely be fined for that flop. Get a grip dude. Take the rose coloured glasses off and comment on the Plumlee action.


Alright dude, I'll stop reading here. If you're not interested in having a normal conversation you're not worthy of conversing.

People say this, but the Nuggets have been playing like the 5th best team in the league (I’d put OKC+CLE+BOS+MIN as teams playing better than them)

We are trotting out G league players and a two way contracts and it took 40 ft's and Jamal heroics to beat us.

Give me a break.

Another L.A. piggy roast.

Besides Braun, their role players are too inconsistent and prone to be taken out of the game. They need both Murray and MPJ to be lights out in a 7 game series to come out with 4 wins.


They basically have the same amount of playoff viable guys tbf. About ~7 each


Who is "they" here?

Not really much to say proud of the players out there tonight. If we hit some of those momentum threes or got some calls we'd probably win.

Nuggets struggling to beat Lakers with out Bron

I been calling the Nuggets pretenders since the start of the season. This was just pathetic by the Nuggets to barely beat a depleted Lakers roster smh

Lakers might sweep them if they meet in the playoffs lol

There's definitely a bit of Brunson going on here. LA should pay him and avoid the mistake Dallas made. Same age as Luka too.

There's a reason the Nuggets have a bottom 10 defense. They're going to be an early exit if they keep playing like this

I don’t agree that the Lakers would be favored against the Nuggets in a playoff series (though I’d put the Warriors over the Nuggets and the TWolves as a tossup vs them)
