2023 Western Conference Finals | (1) Denver Nuggets VS (7) Los Angeles Lakers (DEN leads 3-0)

Jokic will get his, for sure. Im just hoping Murray cools down significantly in the second half and I like the Lakers chances to win this.

This is why the PatBav for Bamba trade was bad. ParBev could’ve been a situational guard against certain matchups. Not like Bamba has even sniffled the floor.

Agreed. PatBev would have bothered Murray

I agree that trade was bad but only because they didn't get a playable backup big. Pat Bev would have just fouled Murray and played 5 total minutes

AD roaming the paint while Rui guarding Jokic is insanely embarrassing for the Denver coaching staff and Jokic.

Gordon's offensive ineptness allows the Lakers to do that.

Haven't followed Gordon much since his Magic days. But damn. Has he looked this lost all season?

Lakers playing better this game.... However you don't want Denver hanging around... Eventually their others are going to get going including joker.... This is going to be close

Rui and AD got Jokic in hell. This yall best player in the league ???

2-8

5 points

3 fouls

Best player in the league for sure.

LOL his first non-amazing half during the entire playoffs. You guys are so silly.

Jokic has averaged like a 30 point triple double on insane efficiency these playoffs and these kids are like "he sucks" because of one bad half

[Bobbymcgee]

What happened to Beasley? Why don't the Lakers give him some burn since Russell has become unplayable.

[p0peye]

Gordon has to move out from dunkers spot to the weak side corner when Jokic gets the ball on the block. Maybe run some high PnR Jokic-Gordon.

[GusFring]

Murray is playing at the level of Jimmy Butler this series.. That's how tough the Nuggets are to beat

on offense maybe

[drekwins]

Lakers have to play a lot more DLO in the second half. They have to feature him to get him going.

Spoiler:

Hahahaha just kidding

I trust in Jokic to have great second half

[Liam_Gallagher]

I'm not sold on Reaves like other people seem to be. He makes a lot of harebrained decisions in traffic and costs them more than people would like to admit.

He’s an unbelievable value contract this year ($1.5M). Obviously us Laker fans will have higher expectations when he starts making $15M+ next season.

[durden_tyler]

Bruh I've never seen an official bleeding like that before

All the Vegas blood money pouring out

[Phreak50]

Russell has been pathetic this series.

Such a nothing player when it matters.

He won’t be a Laker next season.

[Young Stapler]

Just seeing Lebron get to the cup and finishing strong is a very good sign from my perspective.

We played way better last game. end of the 3Q and us fumbling that 4Q **** us.

This game we've quite frankly been dreadful.

[FluLikeSymptoms]

Russell -53 now in 2.5 close games.

[ChosenSavior]

The ESPN coverage is so boring...zzz

[iggymcfrack]

I can’t believe people are focusing on Jokić out of that first half. He never got into a scoring rhythm because Murray was so hot and he just kinda stepped back and let him cook. He’ll probably have a really big second half since he didn’t have to expend as much effort as usual in the 1st.

[Goomba3666]

Lol. Espn PASSIONATE about the Lakers winning. Just openly pro-Lakers.
