I want more Kuz tonight. I love that he's been playing smarter but i want 14-18 PPG from him tonight.

Take it aggressive to the rim and get Denver in foul trouble again like Game 1

| Lakers also need to limit Denver’s bench. Porter and Morris had good games. Can’t let porter get hot but he’s also a bonehead like kuzma lol. |

1) Try and not get in foul trouble and have them shoot freethrows 2-3 minutes into the Q
2) Dont let Grant drop a career high
3) Stop playing Javale
4) Get rebounds
We need to win tonight BAD. I dont want to face a 2-2 Nuggets (who could have easily won game 2 too).

| Don't kick me, but I kind of want Rondo to play even more. He seems to thrive under the postseasn pressure and he is giving Denver fits. No one on Denver hustles like Rondo when he is engaged. |

Not confident about tonight, but hoping they replicate the regular season pattern of not losing 2 in a row.
I just feel like Denver found something with Porter. He makes them more dynamic even if he isn’t scoring. You have to actually defend against him which opens things up for Murray, Jokic and supporting cast. |

I'm not going to call tonight a must-win game because I'm from the school that preaches a must-win game is the last game to close a series.
Whoever wins tonight will have an edge. If we win it's going to be tough for the Nuggets to do another 3 1 comeback. If the Nuggets win they will get in the Lakers heads.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm nervous. These boys ain't no joke. We let them think they can beat us and I think some of us believe they have a chance.
I don't know if they've made the Lakers think they have a chance, I know they've made me think they have. If we don't get them down and keep them there we may be in for a long series.
I've refilled my Prozac prescription. It's nervous time. C'mon Lakers come out smoking and keep the doobie lit. 
GO LAKERS!!!

If Denver's strategy is to clog the paint and triple up on LeBron, there's merit to your suggestion, particularly playmaking and enabling others to make Denver pay for their decisions. |

I've been nervous since the second half of game 2. I want to see Vogel, Lebron and Co. answer Denver's strategy. I think they will, we'll see come game time. |

I don't care how old or tired or bored the Lakers might think they are, they have to show up and play with purpose from the opening tip or I'm gonna lose my (bleep) mind. I'm sick of the Nuggets looking like the hungrier and better team.  |

I think we should let, make it difficult but, let Jokic get his. Double, triple team Murray if that's what it takes to get the ball out of his hands. I'm more afraid of him than I am Jokic.
Also, Michael Porter Jr., Paul Millsap, and Gary Harris are stepping up. This team is legit. Their 46 23 regular season record gives you a reason to believe this team is for real. They won 6 fewer games than the Lakers. 3 fewer than the Clippers.
We have to beat them on the boards. We were out rebounded 44 25. That's not supposed to happen.
Those who thought this would be a cakewalk probably didn't watch Denver play during the regular season.

We will have a fight on our hands tonight; the Nuggets have been here before.
We cannot afford a letdown.
DEFENSE is the key! ...... GO LAKERS!! |

| Not sure why we are not trying to get Murray and Jokic in foul trouble again. We need to stop standing around and attack those two. We did in game one and they had to sit a lot. We can for Murray on to LBJ and Jokic on AD and keep going at them. |

Hopefully, this lineup get the bulk of the minutes tonight.
1- Rondo
2- Caldwell-Pope
3- James
4- Davis
5- Howard
...and don't start the game shooting threes. Set the tone by going to the basket. |

| I would like to see someone (maybe, Dudley) flatten Murray tonight and take a flagrant foul or ejection. He took a cheap shot against our leader, and payback is a (bleep). |

Tonight we're gonna find out whether or not we have a championship TEAM. Champs show up to meet and beat a challenge. We haven't been challenged as we are being now for a long time. LET'S GO!!!

As usually for us, in order to win someone other than LBJ or AD needs to have a good game. It’s never consistent. Who will that be?
