If you told me these numbers before the game, I’d say a 30 points blow out. |

Why did Ham have DS out of the game in the 4th and had Rui guard Murray? DLO should have been on the bench and DS in for that alone. That run cost us

Don't feed into his negativity.
He claims to be a Lakers fan as from what he's told us in the past........
LMAO |
What kind of loser pretends to be a lakers fan in a lakers fan forum? Have to be a real loser |
Oh there are a couple of them in this forum believe me. |
Sad life for these Lakers haters.
One thing I've learned traveling all over the Nation and interacting with all different fans bases from every other NBA team is that the Lakers extreme Hate is real.
Rightfully so I guess. When you win 17 World Championship Titles it's not a shocker that jealousy sinks in.
With that said there are a ton of crazy extreme trolls that got really out of their way to troll Lakers fans.
Hell I got family and friends who are deliberately clipper fans just because they hate the Lakers sooo much LMAO
An then all my Bay Area family members with their warriors and niners LOL |

Too small.
Malone is making Bruce Brown or KCP lock on him.
Even Jamal has a size advantage on him |

| At this point, lebron is going to suck. How bad he plays decides our wins. If he is hurt, rest him. Both these losses are on him. |

I'm not one with the moral victories, but the Lakers needed this....because LBJ will be a year older and the window is closing pretty quick. |

I still believe.
Denver hasn't been great all season and playoffs long on the road.
They destroyed the suns game 6 in phoenix with Ayton out with broken ribs.
not like Ayton was a real factor to begin with but still something worth mentioning as the lakers return to the Crypt |

It took like 20 points in the 4th from Jamal Murray just for Denver to win, think about that. AD and Lebron shot 37% on 34 shots, this loss is mainly on them imo, but i have no doubt they will both have a good game 3. Lakers just need to come out with the same intensity and make minor adjustments.

DLO has to show up if he wants to stay. This poor showing is embarrassing for him. After getting called out by Brown he plays like (bleep) again.
Reaves is straight up better than him. If we're gonna pay AR the maximum he can get...then why would we pay more for DLO? His priority on the re-sign list keeps going lower and lower.
Right now it's AR > Hachimura > DS > DLO |

0-5 from three when I felt like only 2 of those attempts where good looks.
3-4 missed layups and that one shaqtin a fool dunk.
Bad switch coverages on MPJ and Gordon.
Therapy Therapy Therapy on his foot night and day until Saturday and I know for a fact he's going to be much better these next two at home!!!! |

I agree.
I get as pissed as anyone at a Laker loss, but I tend to stay away from these threads if I'm livid, do something else until I can calm down.
Yeah a lot of Lakers shot bad today, but when it comes down to it Denver merely held serve, and not by blowouts.
Now it's time to gain momentum at home. Get that mojo back. Then go on an 8 game winning streak. |

Testament to our defensive effort. But eventually the dam broke. And they’re absolutely on another tier because they can put five guys on the floor who are scoring threats. No one to cheat off of is a huge challenge for the defense. And unlike the two previous opponents, they have two dudes who can pull shots out of their ass when things break down (Klay isn’t that guy anymore). I just think the amount of effort it’s taking us to even slow down their offense is gonna eventually affect our own offense late in games, as we’ve seen twice now.
We’ll see if we can get some home cooking to even the series, but winning in Denver is gonna take an insane effort. Not enough people realize that Denver has been pretty much invincible at home the last few months. |

No way in hell Russ would have those numbers or impact in general if Kawhi and PG were playing.
Paul George does have a really interesting Podcast on YouTube nowadays fwiw LMAO |

I am one of those…
I lose my mind, but I am ok…
Two missed opportunity games…
Got to play better, smarter….
Davis and Lebron got to be better…
Russell and Dennis need to bring more….
Ham needs to use that bump on his head to make adjustment…
Thank you Rui and Austin…. |
