I'm convinced ham is keeping russell in the game so he doesn't completely check out of the series.

Like I been saying, just wait til some rando team like Utah throws him $30 mil a year to be a #2 and see what happens lol.


dude you would die for klay thompson to play as well as austin reaves. don't be delusional.


Also, we'll see if you keep this same energy when this luckbox scrub is on a different team next season :D

Outside of Murray, the Nuggets are shooting 33% from the field.

Brown gets hacked on the tip.
No call, lol.
Never believed the rigged narrative but hard to argue with the blatantly one-sided officiating in this one.

my point is don't be salty.

I don't understand why Troy Brown just hasn't gotten any minutes against a team with big athletic guards.

This LAL team just hasn't played enough games together. A lot of these turnovers and even the missed shots seem like symptoms of them rising from the ashes of the All-Star break like a phoenix. They're missing a lot of the quick action workaday stuff that comes with playing together for a whole season. Reaves would know not to pass it back to DLo after snagging a long rebound.

Lakers still in it despite Jamalchael Jordan out there.

Gotta feel really really good bout that. Murray already cooling off.

Seriously, I’m super invested in the Nuggets and the officiating isn’t really any worse than what a home team typically gets down 2-0. Nuggets have got this.

People were mocking Monty Williams, but he was doing God's work when calling out the inconsistency in officiating following a Lakers game.

NBA fans worldwide owe him a debt of gratitude for protecting the integrity of the game.

DLo should get the Malik Beasley treatment at this point. Ham really is an idiot to not see that.

Came here to say that this some of the most blatant one sided reffing I've seen in a while. Tell the Refs to put on Lakers jerseys at this point...
