wtf is gabe vincent shooting a three with jokic in front of him, obviously missed
next play hachimura attack in drive jokic and made an easy layup
+3 only with +5 offensive rebound and -4 turnovers compare to denver is too poor

Vincent has been ASS for us

Surprised how **** low iq he is

Guy has horrible shot selection

Not like I expect him to even make open 3s at this point, but at least shoot those

I would be amazed if we win more games with such a low IQ team

Feels like a timeout would have been useful here...

Aaaaaaand that's the series. A real shame because before the AD injury it looked like the Lakers had a solid shot of winning the game

Rui bounced back nicely after a rough start.

He actually looks decent in this 4th qtr. Might still have a shot at a W. Shame he got hurt to begin with. Completely changed the momentum of the game.

This series should be 2-2. Unlucky for LeBron and Laker Nation. Likely going to be the 4th best team in the NBA this year and get eliminated in the 1st round.

Lakers 9/32 for 3 (6/25 non Lebron) vs 15/37 for Den....smh

This stuff is ridiculous

AD being out the 3rd killed them

Can wait for the Dlo experiment to be over

And it feels like MPJ almost never misses vs us, just crazy ****

Wish Bron had a sniper like that. Dlo isn't that guy come playoff time

It's going to be funny if Jokic's elbow contact isn't a foul [it isn't] but they call something light on AD prior to him getting all ball as a foul.

each play lakers drive its an easy layup...as all know before series started

lets see if lakers could hit the completely open threes if denver close the paint last 2 minutes,
if they did we have game 6 for sure

f, 3 offensive rebound last minutes by denver, reaves missing the 1metre shoot, no timeouts

What a painful series bro..........might be the most painful Ive experienced as a Bron fan honestly

they **** outplayed them 70% of the series...........if they pulled it out they win game 6. Goat James game 7 record speaks for itself

**** man.........i really believed the 0-3 was possible specially after Murray injury news

27 to 9 FTA advantage, including some suspect calls down the stretch. Refs tried.

So inspirational to see Jokic carry this team of sub and fringe all-stars. Just legendary best peak ever stuff.

They really did outplay the Nuggets for large stretches over 5 games. Misses FTs and wide open threes killed them. They really should have won this game and game 2. A simple upgrade over Rui or DLo and Lakers likely win this series.

LeBron played an amazing game.

Agreed on every point.

Though if they had a competent coach they'd have never been in a position where they need to face Denver this early without HCA.

On the bright side, I think LeBron has proven he is still a top 5 player come Playoffs and at least for me has one more title in him if he's playing for a non-clown show of an organization.

Go back to Cleveland, play with your son, win one more and get the fairytale ending.

15 Fouls for Denver and 12 Fouls for Lakers

Not a huge discrepancy.

What calls were suspect? I thought Jokic was just as physical to AD as AD was to Jokic--seems like some great 1990s physicality :wink:

Murray basically had his best game in the series tonight.

Basically the 8th time in 9 playoffs games you get an identical game, pretty amazing. Lakers role players are just too ass for this to be a contender. Pretty impressive effort though all things considered, Denver atleast looked mortal in this series where last year it didn't really appear that way.
