Jeff Green’s like, “Dont think I’m Draymond Green out there from 3.”

Damn Denver make some dagger threes. It really punches the Lakers in the gut

Refs at the moment: our season is on the line. Where's the king aka fake goat. He can't expect us to do everything. Right? :banghead: :banghead:

Game is over. This series is a sweep. LAL has run out of options to defend Jokic. Murray has been ice cold. The refs favoring LAL and yet they are still losing

Refs rigging the game may have backfired as Jokic got a lot of rest for the 4th.

It's so great to see MPJ's progression as a player. His passing tonight has been fantastic

Foster in some serious trouble if he took the spread and not the money line.

Denver just doesn't rely on the refs.
Lakers do. Flopping and freethrow imbalance is built into their strategy.

Sometimes it's that simple.

All things being said, the Lakers really should allow Rui to see more playing time and touches. D lo is providing nothing.

Come on Denver! This would be such a huge win for them not just cuz of the 3-0 lead but to overcome such bad reffing.

Nuggets would get so many open 3s on the Celtics. Heat are probably the only team that can beat them.

Not looking good for the Lakers so far, Jokic might not be at his best but hes getting a lot of offensive support elsewhere.

with this way of defending jokic, it will come down to can the nuggets make corner threes, so far they have not been able to make them. Dont know why the worst shooters green/gordon/braun are usually there and not porter/KCP

Rui is fine on Jokic. The Nuggets are either hot or one of the best shooting teams of all time. Maybe both, don’t know.
