Here it comes. How predictable
At least Ham took a good timeout for once

LeBron gets mad at Darvin/coaches for not listening to him and challenging the out of bounds call
As you'd expect, he was right and it was out on the Nuggets lmfao

Assuming the Lakers don't choke this game away (still a very real possibility), I expect this loss will finally wake the Nuggets up. My guess is they come out focused and win a wire to wire blowout in game 5.

Unless Nuggs go on a run, which they will, all-time peak Jokic is close to neutral on court.

Ham finally challenging once the game is over is pure comedy. One of the hardest laughs I’ve had in basketball in a while

The LeBron eruption is actually why I believe it is hard for teams to win against champions. Something like that would ruin a team especially a young team. The Lakers were fortunate that they mostly blew the Nuggets out behind both Reaves and Russell showing up.
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.
Where’s Joel Embiid?

La is shooting 5% better from the field, 3% better from 3 for the series, have a 5% higher ts and have led for 136 mins of the series
Jokic is best player but Ad and Bron are BY FAR the 2nd and 3rd best players. Murray isnt playing like Steph like he was last year and Denver doesnt have Bruce Brown or Jeff Green they got 5 bench points tonight
Dont look now but La could do the 0-3. Dont doubt Goat James

They have zero chance of winning 3 straight with Ham as coach. Maybe if Spo or Udoka possessed him

They were waiting for the sweep this and that memes. You have a near 40 year old who is at worst a top 5 player in these playoffs.
And, for all the “modern medicine makes it all possible” people, CP3 is cooked, Curry had his worst impact season in 12 years, Russ has been cooked, Durant isn’t a difference maker anymore (if he gets an all nba nod it would be a HUGE joke), PG13 has been trash, Kawhi is cooked, and on and on.
And for all the “it’s so easy to score now crowd,” LeBron is scoring more efficiently than Luka, than Booker, than Edwards, than Curry in the regular season, etc., etc.

Absolutely wild. Nuggs would have to win two straight wire to wire, 5-1 to have more time leading. You just don’t see this very often.

Yes, they’re “fortunate that they mostly blew out” the Nuggets. Do haters even read what they write before going to the hate?

Just looking at some random all-time playoff stats. It's wild that only 10 players have scored > 4,000 playoff points and LeBron has over 8,000. He's scored more than Steph+DWade combined. Sometimes the numbers are so wild that contextualizing them in various ways continues to blow my mind.
