Idk I think Jimmy has his work cut out for him assuming the heat win.

Brown and KCP will make him work, and the nuggets are just so disciplined in the way they play. Rarely do they take bad quality shots. Jokic is Jokic, and in any given game Murray can carry them offensively. Spo also wont walk all over Malone the way he has with Mazulla, Doc and Budenholzer (who is a great coach but **** the bed this year)

I feel like ham leaving russell in the game for that long cost the lakers the win. Maybe i'm reaching but lakers could not do anything good with russell on the floor.

The Russell and Vanderbilt minutes absolutely killed them. I wonder how much money Russell gets. He's a good innings eater during the season but terrible otherwise

If LeBron were not the size he is, I'm not sure if he would be in the league anymore. He moves like a slow PF now. He still has the hand quickness and all but he does not look nimble at all in his feet/hips. He's relying completely on his IQ and passion, both of which are amazing. If he were not 6-9/260lbs and guys didn't bounce off him, it would look really ugly. They really need a legit PG (cue Kyrie).

You might as well challenge, lol. These automatic points for Denver at the line. They score and the game is over.

I was actually shocked that they couldn't take advantage of Jokic being out of the game. That's on Ham and Davis imo.

Preview if Lakers go down by 3-0:

Lakers homer: we are not down by four games or five games or 13 games. We are only down by 3 games. We can come back and win in 7.

Lebron goat believer: If one person can break the 3-0 undefeated record. that's our goat king LeFlop.

Casual fans: You cannot expect a low seeded Lakers to beat this all time great Nuggets. That's not even fair. (They are the same people who picked Lakers to win before the series started.)

MJ hater: Jordan at 38 cannot even do half good as LeFlop. And the way LeFlop carried the team this far already proved that he is the goat.

Coach Malone should rest Joker for the rest of the game really.

Lakers are really gonna get swept

Maybe for the people of LA, the rest of us is going to enjoy it.

I think in US people would enjoy a non-LA/Bos final. But outside of US, Lakers is probably the most popular team (definitely in Asia). So to them it would be a snooze fest. And the international market has been very important for the NBA.

Because a crappy lakers team with crybaby lebron isn’t in it

Barring any miraculous comeback here, this series is over. Hope the Nuggets win the title, they have the most likeable players out of the teams remaining and are a pretty respectful team.

Denver has basically taken the Spurs place of the 2020's. They're the outlaws and rebels going against the corporate establishment of profits

I don't know why Ham waits so long to get Rui in the game. He's proven that he's consistent offense..

I’ve read basically every post since this game started and I haven’t seen what you’re talking about.

I'm not saying its over until the final buzzer or they go up like 20 with a few min left. We just saw Denver up like 12 last game in the 4th and they almost blew it.

This games over. At least the lakers won’t have to pay dlo next year

Nuggets generally aren’t a good enough defensive team but they are so ridiculously efficient offensively that I can’t see them being beat by any teams left

Who wins the WCF's?
