Not very clutch of you, Jok.

What are you guys saying about the nuggets???? Hahhaha they are a joke. Even if they squeek out a win today, i’m sure they will lose the next. No defense at all.

As I said so it has become.. All game long Denver is not taken defense serious.. They had so many chances to put this game away with making a few good stops..

They continue to allow lebron James to get into the lane without doubling..

Now we have a game despite joker's dominant performance

Great adjustment by Ham. Davis is off Jokic so he can help the way we do with Rob. Malone has no counter.

Reaves went for the hat trick.

What a dumb foul by Porter.

Murray is ball hog.

Lol, Lakers have 0 chance of winning in Denver.

Um you maybe wrong in short order. Part of the reason I kinda don't want to see the Lakers. Don't need old man Lebron abusing our weak minded stars at crunch time, who grew up idolizing him. As he and his try hards makes shots and they miss. Unlike Philly , at this point Lebron won't choke. And Lakers are a better team than Miami.

Nope, I was correct.

I hope the nuggets advance. Much more confident facing them than lebron and the lakers

Denver really messed up by allowing the lakers to get back in this game and almost win it just gave them life.. They probably now believe they can win in Denver..

Reminds me of the way Boston gave Atlanta life when they had him by the throat.

Defense won’t matter if you can score 130+. That’s a tough ask for anyone. Lakers role players won’t be able to keep up this type of shooting esp on the road. I’m more interested to see how Malone responds to the defensive adjustment of Ham on Jokic.

look at Bron, losing the ball and watching in defeat with 15 seconds left

Lakers are so dangerous. They will likely lose tonight but Denver is a little soft.

NYCelticsfan136 · Post #714 » by **NYCelticsfan136** » Wed May 17, 2023 3:20 am

Denver will have to play better defense than this. What a joke tonight.

They keep playing defense like they did tonight the lakers might have a chance. They went to the FT line 26 times in this game.

I don’t think that’s possible though as the series continues. You gotta be able to play some defense.

Good thing Lebron played hero ball lol.

No they won't. They'll likely win it all playing no defense.

And the league will make sure they have a chance, FT by FT by FT
