Prince should've got 3 free throws to win the game
Prince literally jumps right into the defender. Did you see any of the Lakers players complain?
No. Because they all knew that it wasn`t anywhere near a foul.

NBA Live was still a viable basketball game! The iPhone hadn't been released. Everyone was watching the latest Star Wars release: Revenge Of The Sith and were anticipating Christopher Nolan's Batman revival, Batman Begins. The world was months away from Kanye West's Golddigger. We couldn't watch the video on YouTube because it only came online in February of that year. Might have been able to see Tom Cruise jump on Oprah's couch about his new girlfriend, Katie Holmes.
Twitter hadn't been invented yet

Jesus bud.. let it go. You didn't even post the clip.
KCP is PLANTED before Prince even had his hands on the ball and then Prince jumped into him. You really want that to be considered a foul? Embiid is gonna average 37FTAs a game next year if you had your way.
He didn't let him land. Is that not a rule or what?

You can't say the refs didn't try their hardest. Wolfgang630 wrote:Mk0 wrote:lmao Chris Haynes continues to talk like he just got asked to read the next paragraph in class.

The Twolves have a better supporting cast than the Lakers, but having to overcome Ant Davis and Lebron is as challenging if not more challenging than overcoming the Twolves. Davis played like a top 5 player in the league throughout the series and Lebron nearly did as well. So, Nuggets are lucky to finish this one in 5 games.
Yea I don't think either is top 10 at this point unless they're like 10th

Ham is a perfectly fine coach. This Lakers team just isn't as good as this Nuggets team. Again, a more competitive series than the 4-1 indicates (though Denver is clearly better).

That is a LOT to take on and the Bubble was 4 years ago. The Lakers were lucky that AD was able to be so healthy this year but that is NOT the norm.. and LeBron is only getting older.
The 2020 bubble is an asterisk no matter who "won" the title. No need to sugar coat it
There is no asterisk or you can qualify every championship under the sun with what if?
Everyone had the same conditions and Lakers won. Deal with it bro.

There was enough contact there that the ref could have blown the whistle. KCP wasn't flat footed and he stepped forward and got off the ground just a little bit off his tip toes when you slow it down. He's lucky the ref didn't call a marginal contact call on him because we've seen it happen plenty of times.

It IS telling that Denver could play THIS bad and only drop one game.
They haven't had a single good game all series. I think the Wolves have to be equally the favorite. Denver is due for getting their **** together though. If Murray is back to a 58-60%ts kind of player, they'll be good.
If those 3s start falling, they'll be good. Denver at their best walks anyone. And if they can keep the games vs Minny close, they'll win. You are gonna need to blow out Denver to beat them imo
What if the Lakers and their defense are better than everyone is giving them credit for and that's why the Nuggets didn't look good?

A pandemic that shut the NBA season for 3 months right before the playoffs? No home/away court, no travel time, all while enjoying yourself on a resort? It's literally set up like an AAU tournament. That 2020 bubble will always be viewed with a different lens.
Deal with it
