Yup, it's puke worthy.


I have it on mute with music in the background. It's better that way.


Same. All the hip-hop talk and not a single word on the Nuggets made it an easy decision.

The Lakers are denying the pocket pass to Jokic on the Murray-Jokic PnR, so they're really limiting Denver's ball movement. If Jokic gets the ball on a short roll, it opens up all their options.

Imagine if the Lakers had spent $15m on a useful 3rd player!

Scott Foster calls games the way the leagues want him to. It's no secret that he's the #1 official in the league right now....the company guy.


So you think, the league, with 3 chances to get a Lebron-Kawhi WCF, decided not to go for it but is actively trying to get Lakers a game 1 win? lol. It's game 1


Anyone thinking the score of this game is because of the officials is just a loser. Lakers are playing more aggressive, the Nuggets aren't as disciplined or aggressive. Its really as simple as that.

My goodness the ref bias circle jerk in this thread is just so funny. Let the tears flow. The Lakers are taking this series!

We said the same thing with Embiid and Simmons. Teams will figure them out once they get more attention and success.

In the NBA its weird how a lot of players have so much potential or chances to succeed e.g the Thunder big 3, but for whatever reason it doesn't pan out.

Yeah a lot of people were calling for this to happen in the Clippers series but they kept dropping rather than showing

Official wrote:Howard literally makes Jokic ineffective. They are scared to post him up. Called this before the game. Howard did this to him in the regular season too.


They're scared of posting him up because Jokic is not allowed to touch Howard without being called for the foul. GTFO with that dumb ****.

Yup, looking back they could’ve gotten Redick.

Lol, its not Denvers fans. I feel like Raptors fans are overtaking this thread and complaining about every LeBron/Lakers call.
