This is such a silly comment.

The Nuggets are built around Jokic. Of course they wouldn’t be as good without him.

I don't think LA has gotten a single stop the last 7 mins of this game.

Gordon was MIA... Murray sucked.

Teammates. Murray cost them the game by playing his 5th straight terrible game. So much for "Playoff Murray" - he's being exposed for the lower-level starting PG that he is. In the ideal situation he's a microwave 6th man ala Jamal Crawford.

Denver vs Minnesota is gonna be interesting. Still would be favored but it might be a great one.

Not listening to lebrons whole quote and having a strong opinion on it is wild :lol:

Who knows, this game might be the turning point for the Lakers, and they actually will win the next three. It's certainly possible!

murray has a pretty good history of being an awesome post season player.

If Jokic doesnt end up with at least 3 rings it’ll be cause of that. Murray is closer to the Middleton tier than the Klay Thompson tier.

Denver will finish this overhyped media team up in Denver

Aaron Gordon played like he didn't even want to hoop tonight. And he was just saying how they have to play better in the first half.

Can you read?

I simply said all the pressure is on Denver to close this series out. I don't expect the Lakers to win, but they can play with no pressure. It makes things a little more interesting.

Oh i thought you’re one of the delusional LA fans.

Pressure or not, this series is over.

I'm a LeBron fan, but im also realistic.

LeBron saved his legacy tonight. I'll never forget this game. Except the first seven minutes and the last six minutes, which I didn't watch. But I'll never forget the rest. Well, also I didn't watch a lot of the parts after commercials, because it's more important for me to miss the commercials than to not miss the game. But other than that I'll never forget this game. Also, I took a bath and cleaned my room a bit, so I wasn't always watching the screen. And sometimes I was on RealGM doing comments. But other than those parts, I'll never forget this game. Oh, and I may have put my screen down a few times when a terrible call made me want to stop watching. But other than that and all those other times, I will never forget this game. The Night LeBron Saved His Legacy. Brings a tear to my eye.

He just just became the greatest ever

Congrats LeBron I'm crying rn

This win or this championship? Not this particular game tonight, right?

Lakers and Celtics led their games wire to wire today/tonite.

Shame about the Lakars had big leads in all 4 games and only have 1 win to show for it.

Difference this game is Lakers did not let down. Props to them for a full 48 minute effort.

Who wins?
