This game came down to conditioning. Ironically, Jokic came into this season about 50lbs overweight and Lebron spends a million a year on his body.

The general board is so full of whining vaginas. Their Laker hate blinds them.

We were right there at the end. Could have been 3-0.

The good news is we have bounced back great after every loss in these playoffs.

Not sure why we didn't at least try JR Smith in there down 20... It's not like Green or Kuz were really winning the world on D anyway.
We brought him here to hit big 3s in the playoffs and yet we didn't play him the one game we needed him...
THT is athletic and can straight shoot the ball too... Why not Vogel?

So here's my crazy theory... Message to Giannis game... "No Bro... We need you... You complete us."

I'm honestly not sure how many more games like this LeBron has in him... He completely ran out of gas, and his shooting is really concerning right now. Judging by tonight, he's got 1 spot on the court he can hit jumpers from.
So maybe we need Giannis to pair with AD, more than we think?

Could also be 1-2 if AD misses that game winner.

I'm not even going to look at the GB today. I know it's full of AD is soft, LeBron is washed, and Lakers looked defeated this and that. Not in the mood for that bull today.

Lakers won 6 straight games in the playoffs, did everyone just expect them to win every game? Jesus Christ, they're up 2-1 in the West finals, the overreaction is hilarious. They sleep walked against a team fighting for their season and almost won.

Jesus man, it was one **** game. This team is 10-3 in the playoffs and still the clear favorites, they don't need a back to back MVP to complete them THEY'RE JUST FINE.

Looks to me like the Lakers thought they had already defeated the Nuggets.

Dwight 1 rebound? Javale 1 rebound? I'll give Javale a little break, cause he only played 8 minutes. But get this: AD plays 43 minutes and grabs himself a whoppin' 2 boards???? Really dude? You goin 'Gasoft' on me?

Ya'll thought they were just gonna roll over. Let's show up next time with a little respect for the opposing team, and take care of business.

True, but I don't think we lose this game if we lost the last one.

Denver shot almost 40% from 3, had 4 guys shooting 50%. We should've built on that early Q4 rally and put them down when we were within 3 points with 4min to play but we just missed too many shots and turned over the ball.

This won't happen again. We win game 4 and then it gets spicy going up 3-1. But it's clear this Denver team is legit. They're ballers.

We don't play well when having to come back from 20 point holes. We have to show up early.

What pisses me off most, however, is how we got outrebounded 44-25. AD with 2 rebounds, Kuzma with 1, Howard with 1. Not good enough.

You can't win a playoff game with so many turnovers, getting destroyed on the boards and a 23% from 3. Team was way too complacent.
Let's learn from the mistakes and get the W in Game 4.

Could be 3-0 if the Lakers came to play from the opening tip of game 3.

It might have been ok if the Lakers just took 10 3's but they took 26 and missed 20 with Caruso,Green,Rondo and AD combining for 1-14. James took more 3's than his 2 FTs. :nonono:

Rondo was a -14 with 4 turnovers, AD had MORE turnovers than his 2 rebs.
Denver found their 3rd scorer in Grant with 26 pts on 11 attempts with 12 FTs, thats 10 more than James.
Lebron and Rondo combined for 10 of 16 total turnovers.
Denver actually actually outscored/outplayed the Lakers in 5 OF THE LAST 6 QUARTERS from game 2.

Game 1 was great, Lakers squeaked by with a last second 3 from AD, where are the adjustments from Vogel and staff? I

Hey LeBron ....youre about to crash and burn and lose in 6 or 7 games if you don't do anything about it.

Did you hear me LeBron?? I said you Will crash and burn

You will be humiliated even more so than kawhi and the hobos

Bottom line the second and third quarters hurt the Lakers. Even after that they had a chance to win. Game 2 was only close because the Lakers took their foot off the gas. Last night the Lakers were actually forcing turnovers during their run. No one expected the Lakers to sweep, but it feels like 3-0 if the Lakers had kept the same intensity from the first quarter throughout the game. We dropped one in the previous two series, don't see why this should be any different.

GB is on a different level of crazy hot takes this morning.

Dmagic · Post #519 » by **Dmagic** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 4:38 pm

The lakers have some glaring flaws--kuzma is whack and Im finding him quite annoying lately everytime he scores a layup all bouncey and **** like he really doing something scoring only 11 points. Danny green sucks-- and mentally AD is just not very cool.. lebron is going to have to do alot more than he may be ready for
