All you Lakers doomsayers have to relax. If they can give Jokic #4 on that play, they can give Jokic #5 for basically anything they want.

Concerned about a guy who was team worst -25 in game 1 (next worst was -8), team worst -16 in game 2 (next worst was -10) and so far team worst in game 3. Amazing.

This game feels like game 3 of 2006 final.

The refs will help Lakers to go all the way after.

Embarrassing that LAL isn't making a run right now. Jokic is going into the 4th well rested and ready to close this game out

AD's never really been in the MVP convo, but healthy and in form he is so much better than embiid.

Lakers don't have the 3 point firepower to beat the Nuggets it appears.

Refs wont let him finish this out.

He will pick up his 5th a few minutes into the fourth, sit until the 6 minute mark, and then foul out with 3-4 minutes left.
