benji93:This Denver team can come back quite alright, but the Lakers just showed they're not the Clippers by winning still. They held their own and made shots when it mattered. Yesterday was just one of the days where not much worked for the Lakers. LeBron was not getting love from the refs, Green shot terribly (I wonder why Green should be taking 14 shots in a game of basketball, and he missed 10 of them), and Markief didn't play much and didn't attempt a single shot, after he was hot the last game. I don't know why Vogel and the players didn't draw plays for him especially when they knew Green was wasteful. I've studied the matchups of this series and I'll say this, the only way the Lakers can lose a game to the Nuggets is if they shoot themselves on the foot. Lakers in 4 ![]() 1 Like |

Afr0mentalist:Prime Shaq needed a facilitator too and that didn't stop him from being the best. He's a big so you can't expect him to bring the ball down the court. People bring up the assists conveniently forgetting he's also averaging almost 5 turnovers per night, he had 6 last night It's amusing to me that Bron stans are now throwing away the logic they used in anointing him better than MJ. The logic they use in their Pippen banter. AD leads the team in pretty much everything but assists. We're not really here to argue what Bron has done in the past, this is not a lifetime achievement award. We're saying on current form AD is the best player on the squad 1 Like |

The Nuggets cannot play any better than they did last night and they still lost, Jokic 30, Jamal Murray 25, Lebron had 2 points the whole of the second half, and a +/- of -9 which has been rare this season, heck the Lakers had 23 turnovers, had to play the last few minutes without Dwight, their most impactful answer to Jokic because of foul troubles and the Lakers still won. Michael Malone made his adjustments and did a good job to clean up bad plays and despite struggling against the shell defence by the Nuggets, the Lakers found a way to win. Game 1 should’ve been the typical Lebron/Lakers feel out game, but it’s looking like this game 2 is the one. Last night’s loss is damaging to any team’s psyche and encouraging to the winner’s confidence. That dagger by AD is very depressing. Frank Vogel will make some adjustments in the coming games to tighten up the sloppiness, and knowing Lebron, he’s going to control the game better and hunt for more favourable matchups in subsequent games.

A40:I do Not dispute the fact that AD is better than LBJ this season for this team. Don’t mistake the argument. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 12:57pm On Sep 21, 2020 |
Did anyone else see Rondo after the buzzer beater by AD? That guy is a psychopath and he needs to be placed on the national security watch list. While the whole team was ecstatic, this guy just walked off the court without breaking a stride like nothing happened. He didn’t even shake hands with the refs or whatever ![]() ![]() |

When LeBron gets a 36-point near triple double we don't hear folks say AD is the best o. But let LeBron mistakingly score less points than AD and then they come out again. Na una get una mouth sha. I just want to get to the finals, all other talk na okoto 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 3:55pm On Sep 21, 2020 |
Afr0mentalist: I get what you’re saying, but in the moment, a lik bit of celebration wouldn't take away how disappointed you are in how the game played out, there's always a film session for you to do that. But I guess that attitude is what makes playoff Rondo a scary sight |

steady986: Next year the Lakers will have time to properly fill their roster. Not going to wait on someone like this year till all the good players are gone. Imagine how good this team would be if they got Seth Curry, Covington, D.Rose, Kyle Korver? They even had a chance to get D’lo or Butler. Kawhi really bleeped with the Lakers’ plans for the season but still got sucker-punched in the end. I guess the basketball gods are not sleeping after all. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:57pm On Sep 21, 2020 |
xwolverine:I wouldn't mention Kyle Korver as someone that can improve this team. At 39 that guy is an ancestor already. We brought a similar guy in J.R and we've used him only sparingly. D. Rose has a history of injuries. Seth would have been great. I think the delay by Kawhi was a blessing in disguise if you asked me, because we somehow managed to fill the holes in the team. We brought in guys who have been tested in this league and wanted to prove to people that they still had something to offer. Win or lose, there's not much that needs to change in the team. Everybody knows their role. The only downside is that we thought Kuz was that guy who was going to give you 18 off the bench. Perhaps we should have kept Ingram instead. |
Re: The NBA Begins by xwolverine: 5:41pm On Sep 21, 2020 |
steady986: Kuz is gone next season, being in Beal or even Dinwiddie is a better option, he manages to have turnovers either off his legs or can’t catch the ball. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:43pm On Sep 21, 2020 |
xwolverine:Not sure there's enough cap for Beal, and bringing him would mean dismantling the roster |
