Kuz shouldn't play anymore.

his shot is cutting to the basket and being fed for a 2 ft layup...anything beyond that is a crapshoot!

I like our early energy. We just have to keep this energy till the end of the game. We've been playing Jokic well.

Kuz needs to make that shot but at least he's given good effort and playing somewhat smart. He's finding cutting lanes and plays decent defense when not on a big.

On the other hand Green, who's main job is it shoot the 3, is shooting less than 30% is just sad.

Kuzma has all the confidence in the world which is nice, but damn... His shot is off all over the place right now...

We're due for one of our bench guys to go crazy, though...

Kuzma is doing okay. He needs to just calm his nerves and settle down.

Why do Denver's guards think they can attack our bigs at will? Why aren't we getting any blocks?

Also, what the hell is going on with our defense? We're blowing assignments every time down the court. Denver is getting wide open shots with 3 moves at most. We're not even making it that hard for them.

that's the problem...he's always playing as if he feels the need to throw up 20 shots in a 5 minute span of time!

Kuzma always seems to shoot better when the team is playing with a lead.

Davis is on a mission.

There goes our **** lead...

KCP has been awful this quarter

execution is poor

Why is LeBron settling for long 2s? Why is he dribbling for 15secs every possession... Why is our defense so bad?

Are we saving ourselves for the second half?

I'm seriously starting to wonder about this team...

Watching the clips from the first half... Morris has been awful for us too.

BEazy · Post #576 » by **BEazy** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:04 am

LeBron's dribble dribble jump shot is **** annoying...

Post #577 » by **Kilroy** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:07 am

Something else I didn't like from the first half... LeBron chirping at the Denver bench... Coupled with his chirping at his teammates over missed assignments... It's worrying because it seems like his swag from the first game is gone...

Post #578 » by **Kilroy** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:09 am

Also, not sure if it's my stream or what but all series, every clip at every break is the Nuggets... No Lakers clips at all... And this is supposed to be a Lakers stream... Just me?

It’s simple. Unlike Portland, Denver can attack the rim. U like Houston, Denver will take a mid.

You can’t blitz Murray like Dame because Murray isn’t stupid like dame and just going to settle for 30 footers. Unlike dame Murray can play off the ball and get it back where dame just watches much like harden when he ain’t holding and handling it. Unlike dame, Murray also isn’t an inefficient choke job in the playoffs like Dame is who shoots awful for his career, he actually steps up.

You can’t trap Murray like Harden because again he’s going to move. He also isn’t starting the offense like a dumbass repeatedly by the baseline to be trapped like Haden did all series. He’s either foul like extended or middle of the court with it spread. And he’s using a big for a true two man game as he shares the ball with him unlike harden who only wants a pick to try and score.

Murray is just better than Dame and smarter than Harden which exploits the whole defense

They just want the series to go the distance so everybody gets paid extra.

Who Will Win
