Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Grabbing a dude's legs should be an automatic flagrant 2.
what about if he did it to get a good peek at his junk?
Every single time. Reaves dribbles directly into the defender’s body and flails
Lol. Again
Malone leaving jokic in with 2 fouls automatically makes him a top 3 coach
then he gets stuffed on a dunk and they make up a foul. hate this cracker so much...
Trash Russell back
Lakers 1 - 14 from 3
Just find a new way to lose each of these games against the Nuggets, hell of a run
love the i wasn't gonna call a foul (because it's not a foul) but the guy blew a layup so now i'll make a call 5 seconds afterwards thing, especially when it's the ref 50 feet away out at center court. FANtastic
Embiid has a right to not get stepped on, also
fake retirement coming in 3... 2...
nugs margin of victory can be accounted for by the following plays in q4:
-lebron gets checked in the face defending porter and gives up on the play to bitch to refs, porter knocks down open step back
-AD contracts spontaneous narcolepsy and allows jokic to cut to the basket undefended twice in a 2 min span
-lebron and AD miss on offensive rebound chance and walk back, allowing 5-on-3
-davis thinks he's fouled and howls, decides he'll show the refs the depths of their transgressions by refusing to get back on defense, jokic gets uncontested oreb
dk if they don't care or are just too old, but either way they deserve the broom
I think the much bigger reason Lakers can’t keep up is 24 minutes of scoreless futility from Russell. Denver are really good, have to have a third option stay on the floor, which Russell has failed to do this series and last year.
was russell even on the floor at the end of the game? if he was he was invisible. pretty sure prince is better than him
Assani Fisher wearing oven mitts is a better shooter than Dangelo.

Well Prince certainly wasn’t better during the regular season, rightly or wrongly Russell is the third option on this team, and paid as such. Disappearing in a series where the Lakers had to get it all right is terminal, DOA.
russell should spend the offseason hauling 30lb pots of scalding hot oats to and fro
grabbed den -2.5 for saturday
this loss felt like it had finality to it....dinwid, prince, vincent all playing more, rui/dlo less...ham just trying to throw whatever worked at the lakers and denver just shuts them down in the 2nd half again
denver isnt even playing that well offensively and handling them, they start making shots and it might get ugly
i liked how reporters asked ham questions after the game like he knew things about basketball
Category: when you lead every game at half and lose every game.
I remember the NBA Finals of 1983, Lakers vs. Sixers (newly with Moses, rematch of the finals the year before). It was almost funny that the Lakers were ahead every game at half. It felt kind of like Nancy Reagan being ahead of Mike Tyson on points half way thru the fight, and Tyson pissed about it. Sure enough the Sixers swept to the title, the last game being an historic gutting in the 4th quarter.
It's going kind of like that with the Lakers and Nuggets. It doesn't look like as much of an M&Mer, to me at least, but so far fitting the same category, and the Lakers +2.5 games biting the dust.

meh...russell was definitely there in game 2 and still lakers lost.
game 1 russell receive 20 shots expecting what exactly ?
20 shots for a 3rd option is a good expectation ?
Odds that Lebron and/or AD "get an injury" before or early in game 4 to give them an excuse for getting swept?
The In-Season Tournament Champion never gives up
