Jamal Murray is out of control.

Game time now. Everybody's been joking about the 3-1 situation but I feel if the Lakers win tonight they'll get the series. I'm very unsure that is the case if they lose. They won't get home for a game 5 with a 2-2 situation and it will be too much momentum for Denver.

is LeBron gonna try and guard Murray the rest of the way? Shades of the 2013 Finals coming up?

I was wondering if that's the Lakers ultimate adjustment. LeBron on Murray and switch the pnr

Especially because this breaks the 51-0 spell

What?

LeBron is twice the age of Rondo (in basketball years).

Bron has played roughly twice as many minutes as Rondo in his career. 59k vs 31k

He looks fine physically. Indecisive because there are no driving lanes on offense. And he has missed his last 8 jump shots.

If Bron doesn't put his head down and get to the rack he's gonna let this game slip away

The Lakers need to stay away from LeBron on offense. Let him focus on defense, then go stand in the corner.

Get to the rack how though? The way Denver guards him there's just no spacing.

Wow. I'm really surprised by Murray this playoffs. Dude has been a monster.

And LeBron has to try a quicker 1st step. Refs are giving him calls and Millsap and Jokic have 5 each. Attack, attack, attack!

I just don't get Bron trying to iso on the perimeter when he hasn't been successful all night. Get him in the post.

Bron's been big trash on offense, but good defense

Did they overhelp on Murray there giving up that corner 3 to Millsap?

Bron's been great on Murray so far tbh

That's how LeBron's gotta be the rest of the way. STop Murray on D, get out in transition. 4 point swing there
