    Lakers shooting 8-27 besides Lebron and AD. Not good enough.

  2. msdxat21M

    AD stat line is insane and Lakers only up 3 lol

  3. PomfAndCircvmstance

    Rui not shooting that last shot makes me irrationally upset. Shoot it you dumb bitch.

  4. EnjoyWolfCola

    “Lakers are a +38 in the first half during the playoffs, a stat you won’t see in any other series.”

    We’re +59? So I guess he means exactly +38

  5. Few-Ebb-9985

    If the Lakers continue to get Jokic into action and their shooters hit shots when they try and hide Jokic, they win. If they can’t hit those threes, they lose. It’s that simple.

  6. That fan duel ad gives me such “how do you do fellow kids” vibes

  7. Gloomy_Lengthiness71

    Nuggets need to try going inside to Gordon or MPJ more often instead of constantly going outside for 3. Also, this is the first time I’ve seen Jokić look this bad passing the ball.

  8. BrokenDusk

    Finally a Gordon 3 !! Signs of good things to come ? Refereeing has been disaster ,so many missed call for us its lucky we are only -3. Also why did KCP play after injury did we just make his injury worse…?

    Dont get that there was no need to rush him on court Nuggets even got lead when he was on bench

  9. ShoheiGoatani

    Non Lebron and AD lakers are 8-27 from the floor so far

  10. Tr0janSword

    Ngl, I’m more confident with a 3 pt lead than a 20 pt one.

    But, still don’t think we’ll win. Denver really hasn’t done anything all game

  11. Wes___Mantooth

    Nuggets going to win this game by double digits, book it.

  12. saucysagnus

    Lotta desperate nuggets fans in here saying they’re only down 3 when the Lakers look like dog shit in the first half.

  13. hashdabs1

    Rui and Prince make Jaxson Hayes look playable

  14. VGstuffed

    We’ve lost the 3rd quarter in every single game so far and we’re only up 3 despite the Nuggets not playing great so far. Yeah….

  15. Michaelangel092

    MPJ and Murray are the only Nuggets playing with passion. Jokic is playing like one of his horses is sick.

  16. LyonsKing12

    Again. This feels like a game 7.

    Everybody is tense for the most part.

  17. MegaMagikarpXL

    Even if Lebron and AD SOMEHOW will this team to winning this series, there’s no fucking way he has gas in the tank to go farther

  18. Critical-Adhole

    The nuggets never, EVER flop. They are the most ethical team of all time.

  19. medicjake

    Rui might be the only player I actually dislike due to performance

  20. SnooPets266

    The good thing about reaves is he’s a team player, always takes those buzzer beating shots even if very low percentage unlike rui

  21. jpegdonkrider

    OKC have swept the Pels!

    _cricket noise_

    We suffering from success out here.

  22. Cambocant

    This is gonna be a classic second half and i can sense it

  23. HamlinHamlin_McTrill

    It is amazing how many years in a row the Lakers have had a church league bench. An absolute scrap heap of dumb players. Give them one good player off the bench and they’d be in good shape.

  24. SteveWondersForsight

    Even if Denver wins tonight all we will hear across all sports media for two weeks is that the Lakers actually won the series cuz they had the lead more minutes.

  25. indreams159

    you guys need to understand this.. the Celtics would sweep the Nuggets or Gentlemen them at worst

    Thunder and Wolves are the only 2 teams left in the playoffs who could win 2 games against the Celtics in a 7 game series.. maybe.. maybe 3 games max but that would take a miracle

    no one’s beating the Celtics for the title anytime soon. they’re gonna win at least 4 if not 5 titles minimum in the next 6 years

  26. rape_japes

    seems like there should be more people named wilt in the world

  27. darti_me

    Good closing by the Nuggets but they’re not beating the Wolves or OKC if they can’t even win the possession battle vs the Lakers who are older and slower.

  28. cardmanimgur

    Lakers have not proven they can handle the second half in the altitude. LeBron and AD already played 42 of 48 minutes and carrying a pretty big load. Going to be interesting to see what they look like in the 4th.

  29. teensonacid

    Anxiety my old friend, good to have you back

  30. trashstar1994

    Mayhem commercial guy is so fucking hosted NGL

  31. Troll_Dovahdoge

    I have a good feeling about this nuggets team

  32. pattern93

    As a transparent Salty ass hater, if we lost tonight. At least Denver isn’t winning a chip cause ain’t not way they’re getting out the west playing like this, and being banged up. Lol

  33. Inori-Yu

    Glad to see the nuggets only down by 3 in the first half. Great position to get into a lead in the second half.

  34. Cornelius-Prime

    Spacing trash.

    Defensive rebounding trash.

    Sloppy as hell too many turnovers.

    Down 3. Makes sense. Need to play better if we want to win.

    Lakers are good. Lebron and AD can ball ball.

  35. Banana_rammna

    Someone should tell joker if they don’t win lebron is going to take a bunch of ponies to the slaughterhouse and use it to feed little orphan kids
