[Eddy Munny]

Sick finish in both games smh. Best TNT doubleheader maybe ever.

[ThaTopMoron]

that's what you get LA for playing "we are pissing ourselves on offense" the entire 4th quarter

how many points did Davis score in the 4th?

how many layups did the Lakers give up in the 4th?



Lakers +1 billion to win this series now

[IBetYou]

Nuggets so much more confident this year. Playing like champs.

they don't even show up first half because they know they own LA

laughing at LeBron daring him to hit a wide open 3 when it was tied with 29 sec let and Lakers could have shot at the end of the shot clock and at worst Den has the ball to try and win with 3 seconds

LeBron is a mental midget

[johnnyvegas13]

James had a wide open look at the end

murray shoots over Davis for game winner

whatayaya gonna do

[19th Hole]

.LeBron James misses 24-foot three-point pullup jump shot 99-99

Michael Porter Jr. defensive rebound 99-99

Jamal Murray makes 15-foot two-point shot 99 - 101 (00:00)

[Lakers] REF-INITIATED REVIEW
(REPLAY SUPPORTS CALL) 99 - 101
End of the 4th Quarter 99 - 101.
End of Game

[chase1]

Exactly. Very bad ball management. Bron was hitting everything until he had a wide open 3. Go Nugs!

[Eddy Munny]

So LeBron is just supposed to dribble down the clock at the top of the key uncovered?

He's not Rudy Gobert or Dennis Rodman ffs. I think it's a reasonable take.

nope

Jokic did the same thing late in the season v Spurs... they were up 1 had ball with 30 sec left in game and they were gassed... so do everything in your power to kill the remaining time left

1 seed up in the air after clutch win v t-wolves

Jokic ended up shooting it with 3.5 left on the clock and if you haven't seen the highlight the spurs got the ball and someone went down the court and they fired a pass to him and he was 1v1 and murray who didn't want to foul up just 1 or contest it at all basically and guy went all the way and threw in a short floater that went in with .9 left... Spurs win and Denver squanders away the 1 seed

if Jokic shot the ball with 1 left on the clock even if the spurs get the ball they end up shooting a tough, contested shot if they had a timeout to use and advance or they have to have someone heave a shot from mid-court if they had no timeouts left because they would've gotten the rebound with 3 sec left instead of almost 7

don't get how logic doesn't come into play here... up 1, 30 seconds left with full shot clock to use.... shoot the ball with 1 left on the shot clock and just get it to the rim

not rocket science

[raiders72001]

Lakers ran their offense, got the ball to AD and AD was unstoppable. Lakers got up 20 and Brick starting walking the ball up the court running clock. Lakers were forced to take a lot of tough shots because they got in to their offense so late even though they made a lot of tough shots. AD had 0 points in the 4th. Doubling Joker up big was another huge mistake. Coaching mismatch.

[mjsuax13]

Lebron and AD- Murray busted both their asses back to back. Nice shot Lebron.

[johnnyvegas13]

I know u guys will think this is crazy but

lakers in 6 …

Yeah, but did Jokic's defender slip and fall like KCP did? I'm guessing not.

It's the NBA, unless you're Westbrick or Rondo maybe, it's hard to pass up an unchallenged shot.

I'm not gonna beat a dead horse, I would've liked the Lakers to have played it out differently, but at the same time I don't fault LBJ for trying to give his team the lead with that open of a look on a night when he'd hit two daggers earlier to extend the lead to eight and was 3 for 5 on the night from downtown up til that point. Calling him a mental midget is ridiculous.

He is a Pacers fan. LeBron has been hard on that city.

[IBetYou]

Easy decision to shoot. You don't windle the clock down and throw up a poor shot and have the other team fastbreaking for the win.

[asiagambler]

Hope for Lakers ?

Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt, out since Feb. 1 with a right midfoot sprain, is eyeing a return to the court as early as Game 3 of L.A.'s first round series with the Denver Nuggets, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN on Monday.

— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) April 23, 2024

Christian Wood also expected back Game 3 from an earlier report

[lakerboy]

This probably won't win but don't the nuggets seem tired? They look beaten up.

[Eddy Munny]

What's the current series odds?

Lakers are finished as they had their chance in game 2 and blew it.. No coming back from that now.

Does Ham get fired if he gets swept again ?

[JIBBBY]

Does Ham get fired if he gets swept again ?

He should get the boot. Worst coach ever IMO.

[asiagambler]

He should get the boot. Worst coach ever IMO.

He is pretty bad. What a colossal waste of a season where James and Davis were healthy for almost the entirety of it

[IBetYou]

He's bad because??

I agree he will probably get fired. It's LA.

[mjsuax13]

Does Ham get fired if he gets swept again ?

He probably gets fired because it’s LA but putting your future in the hands of a guy who doesn’t really love basketball (AD) and a guy who is basically retired (Lebron) doomed you from the start. At least the money is good.

[Headsterx]

If I was his agent, I would show to the Lakers front office a certain SBR thread and contend that it was his fault.
🤣🤣🤣

Plenty of blame to go around. Just watched AD and Lebron turn over the ball 4 times in 90 seconds.

Well for one, they get killed every 3rd quarter

[IBetYou]

Yes, but why do you attribute that to the coach? I see a lot of comments about coaches on here that have no reason.

[IBetYou]

If you look back at Davis' career you will see he has been prone to fading in games. 3rd Q, 4th Q. He's soft. He has strong p&r ability but not such a versatile offensive player. Nothing to do with coach imo.
