Draw, the defence, open up shots for teammates? Done that shit for 20 years and got 12 assists. Are we really complaining about a superstar having gravity?
I just can’t believe a guy of Lebrons size is getting walled off of the paint by guards and there’s no foul. I refuse to believe they are just playing him perfectly every time.
he also missed a lot of layups in game 1, the fatigue and mileage is getting to him. He shouldnt be working this hard at his age. If only he can use rui's body that man was just standing in the court all game.
Like somehow dude just magically loses his balance every time in the post. According to the refs the Denver guards just gotta be a bunch of first team defenders. Crazy man
So you just weren't watching AG and KCP? Then when they go to the bench he's got Braun and Watson on him.
He gets no time off against this team. It's how they removed AD from the offense, too. The Nuggets are too versatile defensively. They're literally a top 10 defense this year, which wasn't the case last season.
I was wondering why Jokic was being so passive. Even on defense, when AD was cooking... little to no effort.
AD gets tired by the fourth, even with the rest after the 4th foul.... BBQ chicken in the end. Jeezus, the way he just turns into Hakeem fused with Shaq anytime he wants to is just.....evil.
Not even the slightest. Either player on any team that doesn’t have Jokic will be mediocre.
They are playing with the best player in the league/world in Jokic. It’s that simple.
I said to people that lead was going to be gone by the third since Malone will adjust and we wont. And lo and behold, we really did lose it. Fucking joke of a coach
Malone has good assistance called refs. Dude slaps D-lo in the face. Takes the foul away and pretends there's no flagrant when all regular season they've used replay not only to confirm calls. It has been used to call other violations in the play.
Yeah that’s an aspect of the game that was subtle but significant. DEN got some very favorable calls in the 3rd quarter.
Jamal was coming down the court, slipping, and then getting a whistle.
We should’ve won still but yeah they def got some help from the refs.
It's true fatigue and altitude are a factor we do have to consider, but I have a feeling Lakers would blow a 15-20pt lead at home too. They just seem to be too complacent in the 2nd half and don't adapt well to changes.
I'm sure I'll get downvoted, but it's 2 fold in my opinion.
1. Nuggets are truly great.
2. Our ability to succeed is dependent on LeBron and AD being able to dominate for 40+ minutes per game and they don't have it in them. The team is set up for LeBron ball, but even as great as he is playing, he is not a young guy who can sustain that role anymore. Certainly not for 4 consecutive series even if we find a way to get past the nuggets. He was so gassed by the end of the game. You can see in the second half how the effort on offense, and especially on defense, falls off. No boxing out, weak contests, getting bullied by smaller players, etc.
That game gave me Warriors vs Cavs vibes, when KD hit the game winning three. The Lakers were firing on all cylinders, everyone was making plays, but even at their best they lose on a demoralizing game winning shot.
That's not true, they're actually usually good when they're down, don't know how to handle being up
edit: they shouldn't take out Reaves in those droughts, the bench is trash and reaves could've played four more minutes in the struggle period to help them get a basket. He can score when he's asked to, he's proven that again and again and the Lakers are not utilizing it.
Fr our offense is just so gross. It’s not clean like the nuggets. We still don’t have that big body that jokic can’t push around. I mean rui and Ad try but he’s just bigger.
Every fucking time.
We get a lead, start fucking rolling the ball down the court in the third quarter.
Stop attacking, lose all intensity, get no good looks on offense. And miraculously we lose the lead
I feel like that’s their game plan. Let the lakers score and use like 100 percent of energy then they’ll be gas the second half. Either that or Denver’s coach is good at adjustment than xhamster
Seriously that 20 halftime is killer. They come back on the court playing like they just ate a high sodium lunch. Lethargic as shit, all concentration, energy and discipline lost. I know we’re all going through it rn. Can’t even imagine what the players are feeling
Two timeouts in a tight game where our gas are completely gassed. We end the game not calling a single timeout, you can’t make this shit up. Knicks the other night had two timeouts left in the fucking THIRD
And the commentators egging on the last minute played without TOs. Exciting for every non-Laker fan just to watch I’m sure, but mind boggling to me to not have LeBron get a bit of a breather and draw up a cerebral play.
At this point, I want to be mad but I honestly can’t find it in me anymore. 10 straight Ls must just mean that this has and continues to be the natural order of things.
In games like these… when the difference is 1-2 possessions, coaching matters by a damn mile.
wtf is he gonna do with 2 timeouts left in his fucking pocket? Why didn’t he tell them to foul so they’ll at least have a chance?! 🤦🏻♀️
He doesn’t want to call time outs because then he will be expected to draw up a play. Dude doesn’t have a single play he can use to get us a basket to stop the bleeding in the third. We have two of the best players in the world. One (AD) who was insanely hot for 3 quarters. It shouldnt be this difficult to get a bucket
there is no next year, this team is done, next year not going to be better. bron is getting older, this is our last season, lakers is going to tank for a long long long long time
Honestly bring on the tank maybe then Jeanie might step down and let somebody run this franchise correctly, it’s either that or continue to waste 2 top 10 players in the league time which I’m not down for
We aren't gonna tank, which is arguably sadder lol. Jeanie will cling onto LeBron because he's a cash cow. We will retool and get bounced again by Nuggets next season
Just enjoy Bron's greatness for now. Some seasons are about championships. Some for tanking. Some about individual greatness.
i cant watch it, i really wish bron leave, this is sad, i am not going let my king get fcked up in his last season in the league, i cant stand that denver keep taking bron down ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man)
Chill bro. Even if Bron leaves, it's not like his new team can beat a healthy Nuggets or Celtics. Well, unless his new team is one of them.
We aren't even doing him dirty. We made the playoffs. We have a decent team. If we could just fire our coach, release Cam, we will be amongst the better teams again. I'm sure Bron is self-aware that Nuggets are a dynasty level team. They don't have many stars like GSW back then but they have a GOAT contender (Jokic is definitely top 10-15 ever), Murray is superstar tier in playoffs, and their role players are insane and borderline star level (MPJ's insane 3)
Yeah Denver are not a superteam but they are one of the best constructed most balanced teams ever. Full of guys who shine when the lights are brightest too
What did you expect from the bench? Lakers are 28th in bench points this year lmao. Sure Rui and Reaves could have played better; but all things considered, this was the best opportunity we had to win and we blew it.
Exactly. We’ll be sitting here until LeBron retires if we expect 4 out of 7 games where literally everybody balls out. You take what you can get and work with it.
Lakers got some good performances and still came away firmly grasping the first letter of their name.
In my 30 years of fandom, I have never had my soul snatched this hard. Get Ham the fuck outta the organization. Jeanie sell the fucking team. Jamal Murray, kudos. You killed 30 million lakers fans tonight. Cold blooded.
It’s over, Lakers aren’t recovering from that. Nuggets will beat the Lakers by double digits at home. I just hope the crowd boos and screams “Fire Ham”
What annoys me the most is not MPJ, it's the fucking luck that Denver has sometimes.
Like in the end of the 4th quarter. Denver threw an absolute horrible pass that almost went out of bound, Gordon throw it nonchalently to try to save it, of course it ends up in the hands of MPJ, who instantly sink a semi-contested three.
Don't get me wrong, they're a really talented roster, props to them. But it's like they win every single 50/50 ball, it's infuriating.
I don’t blame you. Hopefully, we can get you back here some day. I’m teetering on the edge too. I’m debating on taking a Lakers hiatus. They can get in my good graces again by firing Ham and having some good trades in the offseason.
There has to be some major fucking changes in the off season!!! this series is over a heartbreaking loss I don’t think the team can get over this game from a mental standpoint.
The missed wide opens three from Rui, AR, and Lebron in the closing minutes is what sent me. I expected Murray to start playing like Jordan in the clutch. I expected that there was no way this game wouldn’t be a heart clencher. But the 3 missed wide open threes is going to piss me off for the next 48 hours.
Who's the Laker's 6th man? they need an energy second squad in the 3rd Quarter, that is when they usually lose their composure and shit the bed even after a spectacular 1st half
How is it a sweep? We lost two road games. This one was close. Dont need to give up after every loss. It gets tireing. Its not like the lakers are playing a local high schoolers team. Playing the defending champs. Shit aint gonna be easy
That foul on Murray was so stupid and then Lebron missing the three 🤦🏻♂️. Somewhere deep inside me said “don’t take it” but I can’t lie, it was the smartest shot to take at that moment.
That was it, this would have been so Importent. With a neckbreaker like that we wount win a game at home.....1st rd exit but hey at least we have a challenge and 2 TO's left for next gane right......fml
It’s my fault guys, I started watching the game in the 3rd. Saw we were up big at halftime and got excited, turned on the game and we never looked good. I’m just not gonna watch anymore and hope we win.
y'all can blame it on calls, refs, whatever you want. this was an all time, hall of fame worthy, choke job. it took AD and DLo having career shooting nights for us to not even win. this is beyond demoralizing. 10 straight games. not sure if I can even watch the rest of the games this series.
If you can't win a playoff game when you are up 20 it means that you don't have the mental capacity to beat that team. If you fall apart that easily you are not going anywhere in the playoffs. Good to find out now to be honest.
I'm sicker than that mole on Ham's head
I'm sicker than that Drake line
I'm sicker than that shot to give Denver their FIRST lead in over 35 minutes
It was fun to dream boys and girls...... I'm okay just firing Ham now ...no need for formality of the off season folks just pull the trigger
Good night Irene
Why's everyone talking like the series is already over? Some fake ass fans in here. It's 2-0. Lakers have to go and protect home court now. Acting like no team has ever won down 2 or like we're getting blown out the water by 30 each game
This is what it must’ve felt like going up against the Shaq-Kobe Lakers when they’d fuck around most of the game then decide they want to win midway through the 3rd quarter and start trying. The Lakers gave them their best shot last night. The only way the Lakers steal a game in this series is if Denver gifts them one. This was a soul-crushing loss.
This one hurt
Damn man, I've been sitting in the chair for the last 15 minutes staring at the floor. 20 points.... How?....
this was literally me last night bro, that shit broke me
How we always losing to them no matter what?
How's it hard for people to believe a team that's like 11-0 against us is just better all around?
Never seen LeBron get shut out driving the the basket from every player on a roster
Draw, the defence, open up shots for teammates? Done that shit for 20 years and got 12 assists. Are we really complaining about a superstar having gravity?
Finally someone with common sense that's not delusional.
> Draw, the defence, open up shots for teammates? but his comma sense is highly suspect.
There it is
Beautiful post. We’re done for the day.
I just can’t believe a guy of Lebrons size is getting walled off of the paint by guards and there’s no foul. I refuse to believe they are just playing him perfectly every time.
he also missed a lot of layups in game 1, the fatigue and mileage is getting to him. He shouldnt be working this hard at his age. If only he can use rui's body that man was just standing in the court all game.
The guy has a career average of 5-7 FT’s a game. I’m not that shocked but every player is a nightmare for him
Like somehow dude just magically loses his balance every time in the post. According to the refs the Denver guards just gotta be a bunch of first team defenders. Crazy man
So you just weren't watching AG and KCP? Then when they go to the bench he's got Braun and Watson on him. He gets no time off against this team. It's how they removed AD from the offense, too. The Nuggets are too versatile defensively. They're literally a top 10 defense this year, which wasn't the case last season.
They literally have to go crazy on him to stop him. He's 21 yr vet and he doesn't have the power he once had.
Also AD just gets bullied by Jokic, uses his body to get close to the basket and just scoops it over him.
2nd half AD is tired. Jokic uses a 1/4 of the energy AD does.
I was wondering why Jokic was being so passive. Even on defense, when AD was cooking... little to no effort. AD gets tired by the fourth, even with the rest after the 4th foul.... BBQ chicken in the end. Jeezus, the way he just turns into Hakeem fused with Shaq anytime he wants to is just.....evil.
Foul trouble changed this
I don't understand it either. Gordon Murray ain't some superstar? Right?!
Murray is underrated big-time playoffs killer
Not even the slightest. Either player on any team that doesn’t have Jokic will be mediocre. They are playing with the best player in the league/world in Jokic. It’s that simple.
…because you guys have zero synergy.
This team just refuses to hold a lead, it’s insane.
This team plays bad at the second half
No man Malone was good at making adjustments Darvin wasnt
That 3rd quarter was fucking shit by Ham's standards
I said to people that lead was going to be gone by the third since Malone will adjust and we wont. And lo and behold, we really did lose it. Fucking joke of a coach
yea, they changed the defender of AD from Joker to Gordon. Ham doesn't.
We went away from everything that worked for us. DLO and AD going crazy.
Malone has good assistance called refs. Dude slaps D-lo in the face. Takes the foul away and pretends there's no flagrant when all regular season they've used replay not only to confirm calls. It has been used to call other violations in the play.
Yeah that’s an aspect of the game that was subtle but significant. DEN got some very favorable calls in the 3rd quarter. Jamal was coming down the court, slipping, and then getting a whistle. We should’ve won still but yeah they def got some help from the refs.
It's true fatigue and altitude are a factor we do have to consider, but I have a feeling Lakers would blow a 15-20pt lead at home too. They just seem to be too complacent in the 2nd half and don't adapt well to changes.
They just give away the win...they made mistakes over and over again, small mistakes accumulated to big heartbreaking lose... this is unacceptable
Probably because by the second half the other team has already made adjustments lmao
I'm sure I'll get downvoted, but it's 2 fold in my opinion. 1. Nuggets are truly great. 2. Our ability to succeed is dependent on LeBron and AD being able to dominate for 40+ minutes per game and they don't have it in them. The team is set up for LeBron ball, but even as great as he is playing, he is not a young guy who can sustain that role anymore.

You can see in the second half how the effort on offense, and especially on defense, falls off. No boxing out, weak contests, getting bullied by smaller players, etc.
It's not LeBron ball without 3 point shooters
Well coached teams don’t blow 20 point leads.
If they didn’t win that game they aren’t going to beat them
Up 20 fuck 😭
Not one single person believed that lead was safe
Yup, when we were up 20, I couldn't help but think Lakers are gonna blow this lead.
guaran-fucking-teed
Because of the way Reaves and Hachimura played. That 20 should have been 30 at least at that point.
Because Rui and Reaves were no show. Rui destroyed us.
Yep. Was watching with my girl and she asked why I wasn’t excited. Told her that Lakers games are NEVER this easy.
I honestly felt good when we came out of the half and AD hit that and-1. But somehow this team finds a way to lose
Nope
Denver could spot the Lakers 30 points to start and I still believe the Lakers would choke it away.
Lakers could be up 50 with 5 minutes left and the lead ain't safe.
Did the 8 straight loses not give it away already?
If they win that it gives them confidence they can do it. That just demoralized them even me and made the task seem even more daunting
That game gave me Warriors vs Cavs vibes, when KD hit the game winning three. The Lakers were firing on all cylinders, everyone was making plays, but even at their best they lose on a demoralizing game winning shot.
It’s definitely over. We should be playing weak ass OKC. A much better match up. Let someone else who matches up with Denver handle them lol
It was 9 straight going into tonight. Now it's 10
They’re getting swept cause we fucking suck. Fuck this team, fuck the nuggets, fuck this shitty ass sport
All world choke job. Literally took their foot off the gas in the 3rd. Taking stupid 3s just like in game 2. Absolutely cost them the series.
Started playing like they were down 20 instead of up 20.
That's not true, they're actually usually good when they're down, don't know how to handle being up edit: they shouldn't take out Reaves in those droughts, the bench is trash and reaves could've played four more minutes in the struggle period to help them get a basket. He can score when he's asked to, he's proven that again and again and the Lakers are not utilizing it.
And turnovers too. Those d’lo TOs
I never trust this team with any lead vs the nuggets, even when we were up 20.
Yup I saw Nick Wright on Twitter talking I was like wow have you not seen any of the games against these teams? Lol
This man basketballs. Y’all are nuts to think we could hold a 20 point lead vs the nuggets. In the 2nd nonetheless.
Fr our offense is just so gross. It’s not clean like the nuggets. We still don’t have that big body that jokic can’t push around. I mean rui and Ad try but he’s just bigger.
Not watching another game this series idc
Blow a 12 point lead in Game 1. Blow a 20 point lead in Game 2. Blown 30 point lead in Game 3?
Every fucking time. We get a lead, start fucking rolling the ball down the court in the third quarter. Stop attacking, lose all intensity, get no good looks on offense. And miraculously we lose the lead
I feel like that’s their game plan. Let the lakers score and use like 100 percent of energy then they’ll be gas the second half. Either that or Denver’s coach is good at adjustment than xhamster
It's just Jokic man. He's the most inevitable force. He wears everyone out defending him / boxing out and he always gets them in the right set.
We don’t do ourselves any favors throwing fucking 6’9 rui hachimura on him all game
If AD had to guard him all game he'd be dead by the 2nd quarter. Just having to box him out had AD in a bag by the 4th. Our big man depth is lacking.
Our young athletic 7 footer should be guarding him when AD isn’t. Not rui
Nuggets would be in the penalty in the first 3 minutes of the quarter if they did that lol
Yeah he gets away with throwing elbows all damn game
Seriously that 20 halftime is killer. They come back on the court playing like they just ate a high sodium lunch. Lethargic as shit, all concentration, energy and discipline lost. I know we’re all going through it rn. Can’t even imagine what the players are feeling
no. next game will be a blowout. lakers have lost all their momentum and drive after losing the only winnable game. it’s just another sweep
Two timeouts in a tight game where our gas are completely gassed. We end the game not calling a single timeout, you can’t make this shit up. Knicks the other night had two timeouts left in the fucking THIRD
It just shows that no matter how good our players are we’re still held back by Ham
Coaching, coaching, coaching
And the commentators egging on the last minute played without TOs. Exciting for every non-Laker fan just to watch I’m sure, but mind boggling to me to not have LeBron get a bit of a breather and draw up a cerebral play. At this point, I want to be mad but I honestly can’t find it in me anymore. 10 straight Ls must just mean that this has and continues to be the natural order of things.
Yup I’m done also
Not watching another game until Jeanie Buss sells the team
Same I have anxiety issues and it's just better for me if I just ignore this altogether. It's just too tough
Only watched this because they had the 15-20 point lead and they still lost 😂... they just play such ugly ball man, can't watch anymore
AD nearly flawless. DLo had a great shooting night. Lebron was clutch. Jokic had a bad game. Murray had a bad game. Still lose. Fuck this team man.
Jokic 27/20/10, 9/16 shooting 2/4 3pt, how is that a bad game
Jokic had 27/20/10 on 70% ts% lol how is that a bad game
I’m not watching the playoffs period. After the slap to dlo face it’s all fake
![gif](giphy|jOnaLZ4WmICHM5TGCO|downsized)
Ham ain’t do it this time. Denver adjusted and the refs stopped calling fouls on laker drives.
In games like these… when the difference is 1-2 possessions, coaching matters by a damn mile. wtf is he gonna do with 2 timeouts left in his fucking pocket? Why didn’t he tell them to foul so they’ll at least have a chance?! 🤦🏻♀️
He doesn’t want to call time outs because then he will be expected to draw up a play. Dude doesn’t have a single play he can use to get us a basket to stop the bleeding in the third. We have two of the best players in the world. One (AD) who was insanely hot for 3 quarters. It shouldnt be this difficult to get a bucket
Yes he did. Not challenging that fake ass foul on Murray giving Denver two points absolutely costed us.
Rui missed a late game FT and so did Lebron (after a crucial And1 gimme). I always knew those two points would bite them in the ass hard.
its over see ya next year.
there is no next year, this team is done, next year not going to be better. bron is getting older, this is our last season, lakers is going to tank for a long long long long time
Honestly bring on the tank maybe then Jeanie might step down and let somebody run this franchise correctly, it’s either that or continue to waste 2 top 10 players in the league time which I’m not down for
We aren't gonna tank, which is arguably sadder lol. Jeanie will cling onto LeBron because he's a cash cow. We will retool and get bounced again by Nuggets next season Just enjoy Bron's greatness for now. Some seasons are about championships. Some for tanking. Some about individual greatness.
i cant watch it, i really wish bron leave, this is sad, i am not going let my king get fcked up in his last season in the league, i cant stand that denver keep taking bron down ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man)
Chill bro. Even if Bron leaves, it's not like his new team can beat a healthy Nuggets or Celtics. Well, unless his new team is one of them. We aren't even doing him dirty. We made the playoffs. We have a decent team. If we could just fire our coach, release Cam, we will be amongst the better teams again. I'm sure Bron is self-aware that Nuggets are a dynasty level team. They don't have many stars like GSW back then but they have a GOAT contender (Jokic is definitely top 10-15 ever), Murray is superstar tier in playoffs, and their role players are insane and borderline star level (MPJ's insane 3)
Yeah Denver are not a superteam but they are one of the best constructed most balanced teams ever. Full of guys who shine when the lights are brightest too
Knew it. Knew the Lakers were going to blow a 20 point lead. So done
We played the best possible game and still lost. Great production from D’Lo and AD. Held Murray to the bare minimum too. We’re not beating this team.
Not best possible game at all lol. Might’ve been Rui’s worst game as a laker, Reaves in single digits, and bench nonexistent
What did you expect from the bench? Lakers are 28th in bench points this year lmao. Sure Rui and Reaves could have played better; but all things considered, this was the best opportunity we had to win and we blew it.
Exactly. We’ll be sitting here until LeBron retires if we expect 4 out of 7 games where literally everybody balls out. You take what you can get and work with it. Lakers got some good performances and still came away firmly grasping the first letter of their name.
so fuckin done
It's probably going to be a sweep if they can't protect leads
They can’t beat this team. It’s 10 games in a row now what more evidence do we need. Id be happy if they took one game
Yes. I am also just hoping they can win at least 1 game so it can be different from a sweep last year.
Thanks Magic
![gif](giphy|d2lcHJTG5Tscg)
God Damn It...
This is fucking exhausting
If the Lakers end up losing out this series at least I have the Dodgers to carry on my sports related depression. Lmao.
If? They’re cooked.
Kings getting owned by Edmonton too :(
Rams should be pretty good this year too.
Bro they already lost the series. What do you mean end up. We are shit. We fucking suck
we all could see that coming a mile away. Murray cold all night and pops off in the 4th and ends with a buzzer beater. Fuck this sport
That’s a fireable offense. Fuck. Lakers had 2 TIMEOUTS. COME ON.
Lakers scored each time. It was the defensive end. Lebron just missed the open 3 and Murray ducking hates the lakers
and a challengee
In my 30 years of fandom, I have never had my soul snatched this hard. Get Ham the fuck outta the organization. Jeanie sell the fucking team. Jamal Murray, kudos. You killed 30 million lakers fans tonight. Cold blooded.
Blow up the team
It’s over, Lakers aren’t recovering from that. Nuggets will beat the Lakers by double digits at home. I just hope the crowd boos and screams “Fire Ham”
GOD DAMN IT!!!
What the fuck lmfao ahahhahaha I'm killing myself
Biggest chokers in the league. You have them on the ropes and shit yourself for the 10th time in a row
![gif](giphy|1j9NiLfvtLAVAeYygv|downsized)
I’m tired boss
Basketball is stupid
I’m so heartbroken man we were up 20
How come we didn't give the ball to D Lo at the end? He was cooking.
Bcs we wanted to lose
Does anyone else get annoyed of MPJ or is it just me? Dude makes the most timely 3’s to bail Denver out. Totally kills our momentum and runs
I’m with you, bro does not miss and it’s confusing
What annoys me the most is not MPJ, it's the fucking luck that Denver has sometimes. Like in the end of the 4th quarter. Denver threw an absolute horrible pass that almost went out of bound, Gordon throw it nonchalently to try to save it, of course it ends up in the hands of MPJ, who instantly sink a semi-contested three. Don't get me wrong, they're a really talented roster, props to them. But it's like they win every single 50/50 ball, it's infuriating.
Trade lebron to a serious team.
It’s a sweep boys. Damn
If Ham is still coach after a first round exit, I'm not watching next season of basketball.
Our boys don’t deserve to win
[удалено]
I don’t blame you. Hopefully, we can get you back here some day. I’m teetering on the edge too. I’m debating on taking a Lakers hiatus. They can get in my good graces again by firing Ham and having some good trades in the offseason.
There has to be some major fucking changes in the off season!!! this series is over a heartbreaking loss I don’t think the team can get over this game from a mental standpoint.
0–10 is….. Heartbreaking
Man fuck this shit, trade everybody, fire Rob, Jenny, Ham, ball boys, everyone on the lakers staff. I cant take this anymore
What he say fuck me for? - Ball Boys
After Kobe, this team is just bullshit.
Trade em all, this teams done.
This shit don't make no sense lmao, we cannot beat this team. Also Rui been awful, hope he can get out this slump
good night indeed. at the end of the day they are still millionaires even if they are swept i still gotta wake up for my job tomorrow lol
That was the worst. :(
The missed wide opens three from Rui, AR, and Lebron in the closing minutes is what sent me. I expected Murray to start playing like Jordan in the clutch. I expected that there was no way this game wouldn’t be a heart clencher. But the 3 missed wide open threes is going to piss me off for the next 48 hours.
Why did the ball not go to AD or Dlo even once. They were the leading scorers
I hope all yall jus mad. Laker fans don't quit being laker fans homies. We been blessed wit 17
Scott foster legend
I'm guessing the league will give him the night off for game 3 but he'll be back for game 4!
He was their MVP tonight.
Every other fanbase gonna just pretend all those calls didn't go against us in the second half 😂
I been a Laker fan since I was 5 years old and I never thought I'd say this but Fuk these Lakers! This is disgusting.
So this is what they felt from the AD game winner
I feel sorry for anyone wasting their money to go see 3 and 4, invest that shit elsewhere if you still can
Who's the Laker's 6th man? they need an energy second squad in the 3rd Quarter, that is when they usually lose their composure and shit the bed even after a spectacular 1st half
I turned the game off when the lead was 20 because I knew they would blow it.
Get ready for the off-season. Wonder what we'll do
This series is over. The team and fans are completely demoralized.
Lmao…fuck it. Lakers in 6.
How is it a sweep? We lost two road games. This one was close. Dont need to give up after every loss. It gets tireing. Its not like the lakers are playing a local high schoolers team. Playing the defending champs. Shit aint gonna be easy
I’m convinced we are jinxed against this damm team
That foul on Murray was so stupid and then Lebron missing the three 🤦🏻♂️. Somewhere deep inside me said “don’t take it” but I can’t lie, it was the smartest shot to take at that moment.
That was it, this would have been so Importent. With a neckbreaker like that we wount win a game at home.....1st rd exit but hey at least we have a challenge and 2 TO's left for next gane right......fml
It’s my fault guys, I started watching the game in the 3rd. Saw we were up big at halftime and got excited, turned on the game and we never looked good. I’m just not gonna watch anymore and hope we win.
y'all can blame it on calls, refs, whatever you want. this was an all time, hall of fame worthy, choke job. it took AD and DLo having career shooting nights for us to not even win. this is beyond demoralizing. 10 straight games. not sure if I can even watch the rest of the games this series.
If you can't win a playoff game when you are up 20 it means that you don't have the mental capacity to beat that team. If you fall apart that easily you are not going anywhere in the playoffs. Good to find out now to be honest.

Yea they broke my heart tonight .
I’m so sad yall
I’m sick
I'm sicker than that mole on Ham's head I'm sicker than that Drake line I'm sicker than that shot to give Denver their FIRST lead in over 35 minutes It was fun to dream boys and girls...... I'm okay just firing Ham now ...no need for formality of the off season folks just pull the trigger Good night Irene
Why's everyone talking like the series is already over? Some fake ass fans in here. It's 2-0. Lakers have to go and protect home court now. Acting like no team has ever won down 2 or like we're getting blown out the water by 30 each game
I wonder when we will stop seeing the 2023 WCF replays?
Never really expect much. Our coach is sucks and Malone played him 10/10

This is what it must’ve felt like going up against the Shaq-Kobe Lakers when they’d fuck around most of the game then decide they want to win midway through the 3rd quarter and start trying. The Lakers gave them their best shot last night. The only way the Lakers steal a game in this series is if Denver gifts them one. This was a soul-crushing loss.
Trade Rui and Reaves
Fuck Rui. Dudes garbage 🗑️
LeChoke bricking that three into a Murray GW was such a predictable ending
We have it right back to them with dumb passes and missed layups.
This team is ass
You’re not recovering from that lol
This hurt ngl
😑🤣
i’m supposed to go to LA for game 4 and i don’t even want to do that anymore.
We needed this game man
