That 6 minutes of the 3rd where LA could not take the lead was so crucial.

Lakers were too laid back for this important home game.

Lol. Silver clearly explaining to his boss there was nothing more he could do to influence the result.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Maybe for the people of LA, the rest of us is going to enjoy it.
Basketball fans will enjoy it.

AD and Lebron have to be pretty tired here. I suspect this challenge was as much about getting them rest as an actual challenge. Then again, Ham is watching the same game we are. Wouldn't you challenge everthing close given the way they've called this?

He’s not even playing badly. If you expect him to play like 2018 LeBron, it’s impossible. He’s averaging a triple double this series with 52% from the floor. The issue is we are wasting valuable minutes on guys who put LA into holes. This isn’t just on one guy. Denver is just a better team. Sure with prime LeBron LA wins this series but that’s not how real life goes

Schroeder doing whatever he can to get fouls on Jokic. Flopping, pulling his arms in a way to try to make it look like a push. The only the refs aren’t calling on Nuggets are the fake fouls that would take the former MVP out of the game.

Honestly, Denver has just been too good
They're playing free, they're playing confident, whenever they need a bucket, they get a good look.

Naw once the fix fails you clean up the FT disparity real quick at the end so it's not so obvious
