Is what it is...

I know James had that wide open shot, but he shouldn't have took it with 13 seconds left imo...

Yeah i agree. Got to make it if you take that shot

 

[Retroram52]

10-straight and counting...

 

[Vitamike]

For such lopsided results, 6-0 in the past two post season, these two teams have provided a few thrillers like this, so when will the Lakers find a nut?

Good night Ya'll!

It’s a shame @Duffman had to rub his wife’s feet tonight, he missed a great game.

Blew 15 pt lead in game 1. Blew a 20 pt lead in game 2. Why?

Because they literally stop running an offense. Every time this has happened its because they stop running the offense and just freelance everything while Darvin Ham just stands on the sidelines doing nothing.

 

[trojanfight]

nothing lucky about that shot lol

fade away over a 7 footer i would say the probability of that going in is low. in the kobe days they called it throwing something up and hoping

 

[Mecca]

he said that?

No.

Not unless I missed something.

He was talking about the 9 straight.

They swept them in the playoffs and also in the regular Season.

Link? Curious

Nuggets coach Michael Malone kept it brutally honest on why his team has no fear coming into the match.

“We swept them last year. We swept them this year,” said Malone, via Harrison Wind. “They come in playing really well and hungry. They want to flip that script. Our players understand that.”

18 points from the Lakers others tonight

He created the space he needed to and turned it into a shot he always work on

 

[bksballer89]

Darvin excuses Ham back at it lol

On this Doc Rivers shit

This wasn't on the refs. You barely scored in the 2nd half after going up 20

 

[Mecca]

Internet = Cold ass place.

Lakers need a Goon to fuck him up on sight.

 

[msgkings322]

Did they go after the rebound that Murray got? Did they defend against Murray who took the last shot and gave the Nuggets the first lead of the game? Ham left Vincent in way too long and did he score one frikin point?? Nope to all of that!!

Lakers were gassed and if he misses that shot they lose in overtime

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nugs.
101 - 99
Just like they drew it up.

Luck would’ve been scoring if he’d attacked the basket.

He created a solid shot for himself by pulling up at the exact moment he maximized separation.

Sounds like it. Just got caught up on highlights since I haven’t a had a chance to go through the whole game on my DVR but just looking at that and the box score I see Murray was just as bad as the first game(9/24) except the final few minutes. But I guess if there’s a time where you’re gonna get it together that’s the way to do it.

Also shooting 23% from 3 likely won’t win you many games. Don't love the slow starts in back to back games but they never gave up so that’s a plus. If Denver continues to let the Lakers control the 1st half they have a good chance in LA at coming back to Denver tied 2-2.

sure still think its lucky. you are talking like he made a move that made it some wide open shot. he missed that same shot multiple times shooting 9-24. he threw something up and hoped it would drop. this time it did. his reaction seemed to show to me hopeful as hes falling to the floor. good on him for making it.

 

[trojanfight]

17 Denver free throws to 13 for LA. i think we can put the lakers whistle comment to bed.

When you do catch up, make sure to keep going for his postgame interview.

Very candid. And critical of his own bullshit floaters. lol
