I would not be surprised if game 5 is a blowout by Denver.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lakers win next game before Denver closes series in 6

No way the Nuggets lose at home. Game 4 better be the kick in the butt Denver desperately needs.

Lakers will come out swinging in game 5. If they can manage to push this series to a game 6, I think they are going to get the best out of the Nuggets in game 6. Lakers need to think 1 game at a time. This Nuggets team is (and has been all season), imo, the team to beat. I think they are hoisting up another trophy at the end of the playoffs.

Lakers really messed up their chances in game 2 with all of those ridiculous turnovers.

Outside that game winner and 4th quarter, Jamal Murray has been utterly atrocious in this series. He HAS to have a good game for them to close this **** out because the Lakers smell blood.

You’ve beaten a team 11 times in a row. Of course you’ll get bored and not try as hard.

I feel like Jamal Murray has been the key to why it hasn't been all Denver. He has been shooting so bad.His 3pt shot and his touch around the rim haven't been there. And if Denver gets pass the Lakers, the defenders are going to get better with Minny. Jaden McDaniels guarding him and the trees with Gobert and KAT in the paint.

It's true it's 3-1, but the Lakers can't be thinking this series is impossible to win when they'd had such dominant first halves. And if Denver's roleplayers keep stinking it up along with Murray, they can bounce back.

Although tbh, I'm not sure if Lebron will be able to handle any more games being coached by Darvin Ham lol.

It happens to the best players, Ham just figured out that Jokic is uncomfortable with smaller players on him

Yup totally the worse 33 14 14 triple double ever.
That's what Lakers want from Jokic

Just don't let Porter hit the 3 and have Murray chuck


Yes
They want him to score, rebound and assist

Well, the Lakers have figured out some new rotations and defensive adjustments that are going to shut down Jokic

Murray questionable with a calf strain. Might get Reggie Jackson playing 35 minutes in a playoff game

Yeah I think the Nuggets are cooked.

They'll still probably get through LA. But they need Murray playing like an all star to beat Minny. Playing like he has this series won't get it done

And now he's injured with a calf strain? If he plays, he's going to be a turnstile, and an offensive liability.

Nuggets are cooked. Stick a fork in em

Reggie rolled his ankle the other day. He's not playing 35 mins. If Murray is a no-go, they're done. :lol:

Won't if the Lakers comes back and becomes the first ever team to come back and win the series down, 0-3 in the NBA playoffs ?? :o

Ya never know.

Anyhow, TWolves probably beats the winner of this series in the next round.

This is why you don't play with your food. You end a series as quickly as you can to rest up. Lebron definitely licking his chops seeing that Murray news.
