There is literally nothing to be pressed about. If anything it's a selective few posters implying we suck more than anything. Which is fine.

Regular season dont matter anymore for the lakers it's all about getting healthy and the starters getting as much chemistry as possible.

Was a fun game that had no business being as close as it was.

Quite the contrary actually. I thought the way this game played out was hilarious.

Most Nuggets fans have phoned the season in so I don't understand who you guys are shouting at.


Seems like you're just trying to provoke a reaction more than anything. Where in what i wrote did it sound like i shouted?

I don’t think anyone is shouting, we’re just putting the trolls in their place.

That's 3-0 in moral victories for the Lakers in the last couple seasons vs. the Nuggets. One more and you complete the sweep.

You might want to check how the Laker Nuggets game a couple weeks ago with Luka and LeBron both there went. There are definitely some defensive concerns for Denver against the Lakers right now is all I'm saying

There are defensive concerns against everyone. They look like a high school team would torch them...

Cleveland rolls into Memphis without Mitchell and just steam rolls them by 25 points despite the return of JJJ and 44 from Ja. Garbage time really hiding how big the gap was between these two teams, and that's the 2 seed in the west.

They had an actual victory this year, which equates to 2 moral victories. Technically, they're 5-0. It's kind of like how Embiid treats his matchup with Denver IN PHILLY in the finals (actual victory) and then rest up in Denver (moral victory).

Nobody said the lakers figured anything out. Are laker fans just supposed to act as if we didnt have an,entire starting 5 and legit rotational players out lol?

We were playing g-leaguers and players with two way contracts.

And? It doesnt matter...Nuggets always play to their opponent...they play close games with Hornets, with nets, wizards,...everyone
They also played close with Lakers last season and always when it seems that lakers willnpul away, they get smacked and Nuggets win. I hope we again see the series between the 2 bcs im sick of this Lakers fans arogance in last couple of weeks

It is just one game though...

Just like the 25 point whooping the Nuggets put on the Lakers at the start of the season...

One game...and podcaster blew his 'adjustment' too soon, shoulda saved it for the playoffs...
