Bad calls gave the Lakers this game. The refs really tried. But no shaking, Nuggets in 7. History about to be made, quote me anytime, Nuggets in 7. Maybe the Nuggets just love it the hard way. Congratulations Lakers/Refs, but still Nuggets in 7. 1 Like |

Okay. I'm going to root for the Celtics the next game. I need the Lakers to get some extra rest because it seems year 17 needs it. The old man is looking tired. 1 Like |

WeissVonner: If they play like this every game, and they can, its going to game 7. Clippers pride prevented them from seeing this until the quiet moment in the locker room at halftime game 7. Then they paniced and it was over |

steady986:I swear dem go tire person. Who ever argued the contrary here ? And LBJ had an 26/9/8 playing less minutes on a relatively bad night. Does he realize that every assist is a 2/3 pts potential ? What about the guarding on Murray ? They just want to find any avenue to belittle LBJ even through non existing arguments. 1 Like |

My takes on this game 1. Rebounding was essentially the difference maker for the lakers. Cleaned up defensive possessions and also got a shit ton of second chance points 2. Playoff rondo ![]() 3. LeBron and Jokic look spent yikes. I have never seen LeBron this tired. Age is definitely telling. 4. LeBron did a fair job guarding Murray in the 4th quarter 5. The nuggets panicked at the end and stopped moving the ball. 6. The nuggets are still very dangerous but I don't think they are coming back this time time around. Lakers in 6. 3 Likes 1 Share |

etidy: Naah Bron doesn't play with closeout games so trust me, they're outta here in game 5. Also A40 predicted the Nuggets will win at least one more so history tells us that won't happen. BTW the defense LeBron played on Jamal is what they told us Kawhi can do and when the time came he either got cooked or ran away. 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:57am On Sep 25, 2020 |
But honestly, the Lakers have to be wary of this team in game 5. Come out with energy and build that early lead, then we can move from there. Don't give them any kind of hope. Make those 3s. Guard the paint better early on. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jerami grant shot 12 in game 3, LeBron got 1 call. No one said a damn thing. The refs decide to stop swallowing their whistle and call it fairly and people are crying. Even with how they tried to screw the Lakers down the stretch. Lol cry more! This championship is inevitable. |

A40: Let me get it straight u blame the players when it comes to white coaches but on the other hand the black coaches are the problem? Make no mistake Doc Rivers is an absolute legend. Even what he did last year with an 8th seed was absolutely incredible. U sound crazy even questioning Doc. Should he win every championship before u know he is the man? If a team beats u 3 times straight that should tell u they are not average. If a team does it twice..... Imagine having a championship and people making noise. Why wasn't this same noise made about George Karl who has won over 1000 games without a trophy? Bud had Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. He just couldn't get the best out of those guys when it mattered. We have seen Josh win games for Harden in Houston and Joe is quality. Yea bud lost to LeBron but he never competed. U are number one seeds for a reason. So it's not like that team was so much better for them just to roll over every single time. Mark Jackson played point guard for the new York Knicks how does he not know Xs and Os? He made the splash brothers. He gave that team the confidence to do what they do today. The only complain was religion as he is a pastor. U keep talking about one off situations when the NBA is majority black. Why on Earth should black people not get a good number of the jobs? We don't reduce the number of white coaches when a white coach messes up so why now? 2 Likes |
