LeBron definitely saved his legacy tonight.

Good win LA!
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** Luka made the WCF without Brunson
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs with Klay

All I can see is , that Lebron spend his vacation in Rockies instead of Cancun this year , there is nothing else to it

La is shooting 5% better from the field, 3% better from 3 for the series and have led for 136 mins of the series

Jokic is best player but Ad and Bron are BY FAR the 2nd and 3rd best players. Murray isnt playing like Steph like he was last year hes actually been a disaster and Denver doesnt have Bruce Brown or Jeff Green they got 5 bench points tonight

Dont look now but La could do the 0-3. Dont doubt Goat James

LeBron cemented the #1 best player ever with this win vs the Regaining MVP Jokic & Defending Champ Nuggets
Bronny will become Murray 2.0

Maybe 0.001% possible. i admire the optimism of Lakers fans.

I feel like if this happened to the T-Wolves or Thunder it would be a 1995 Orlando Magic Nick Anderson situation

Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.

Where’s Joel Embiid?

We literally snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. This is like if Budenholzer and Doc Rivers were co-coaches.

Still light years ahead of any color man we have in the game right now.

You know Hubie Brown is still alive right?


Heard him on Heat vs Celtics G3 earlier...was shocked he's still doing commentary at age 90.

Lebron continues to add to his legacy: Breaking that long losing streak vs Denver.

If Murray has a game were he scores more points than his shot attempts they probably win the series.
