Russell and LeBron being a** in the 2nd half was a gameover.

98-74 shot advantage for Denver.

Dlo 1 for a million.

Game and series over. This was their game to punch them in the mouth and it Unraveled quickly

Wasn't able to catch the 4q. Why hasn't Lebron shot at all?

Terrible 2nd half by LeBron.

We can talk about D'Lo, but obviously Lakers won't do anything with LeBron flirting with turnover-quadruple double. That would be it for today, feel bad for AD, great performance.

Nuggets are really impressive in how consistent they are in bringing up their A-offensive game despite slow start in the playoffs.

Denver just crushed them in the possession battle.

Lebron was fine. The whole game counts. He, along with AD, kept that team afloat and WINNING in the first half. Guess what? 39 years old and 21 years in happens as it did tonight in the second half. You don't think that maybe all that work he did in the first half just keeping them in the game doesn't wear on him? Or did he just decide to become passive and sloppy trying to catch back up?Goofy. Some "fans" seem to forget he's really old. This is still a team game. DLO is hot garbage in the playoffs. AR wasn't any better. If those two aren't making shots, they're absolutely worthless. You can't beat that team with that guard play. AD was great, though. Also, adjustments at half by good coach and then there is Darvin ham. LOL...Oh well.

As someone who thought La had a shot pre series this is over

Bron might retire after too never seen him more dejected and mortal going against a player in his career like he is with Jokic

True, but James is smart enough to know that father time is undefeated. He just can't pull a whole team across the finish line anymore. Tonight that was made crystal clear for him, I think. But, damn that first half of his was beautiful. If anyone else could have just stepped up and helped AD in the second, it would have been a much different game.

Pelinka is probably the biggest villain in LeBron’s career.

Even when things were going perfectly well in the 1st half, never felt like it was sustainable. Once Denver counter punched mid 2nd qtr it was a one-sided game. That's just a different level of team. I don't see anyone beating them. The gap between Jokic and whoever the league's 2nd best player is probably the biggest it has ever been since 70's Kareem.

I don't know why DLo played 41 mins when he was clearly a liability for most of the night. Ham's had a short hook with DLo this season when he's doing DLo things, so I don't know what happened tonight.

Um what? There was no one remotely close to LeBron in 2012 or 13. Jokic isn’t that far ahead.

KD was closer to LeBron those 2 seasons than Giannis/Luka/Shai/Embiid are to Jokic
