Roland17:


I can’t disagree with any of your thoughts. He plays hard and easy to slot into any lineup the chooses. On defense he can switch 1-4 and 5 in some instances which is a coaches delight. Is he really playing at 6M/yr?

I've noticed there are some really good players that routinely get underpaid everywhere they go. I don't know if it's their representation or whatever but they just never get their worth relative to their contemporaries, just look at that same team Aaron Gordon is there and probably makes 3x more despite his very limited skillset

A40:
Kai so Austin Reaves is a RFA. Which means Lakers can match. This is someone the Mavs should have gotten oh

If they make the same mistake like the did with Caruso, then something is wrong in that front office

donlittle25:
Baba i know say you they throw caution to wind or wind to caution but my guy i no know o.

I just no know how you wan counter this denver team. Denver no they rely on three like warriors hence all that ball wey lakers go get when basket no enter no enter don cancel out.

Unless denver starts shooting threes like say them no get sense, i no see wetin go happen but make we dey watch sha

3 pointers are the reason Denver is leading tonight. Lakers have dominated the paint

I strongly doubt they will. At this point he's probably their 3rd best player

I can't wait for Jamal Murray to be ejected so the Lakers can get some advantage

I have no problems with 3 pointers if you move the ball. I will live by those. The 3 pointers i hate are those that you come up down the court and shoot it in 5 seconds or less which the warriors are notorious for. If you miss, you are forced to sprint back and defend which doesn't help when your team isn't young like 7-8 years ago.

Lakers will always dominate the paint. The difference is the Nuggets at least have some size and can compete even with less athleticism The free throw disparity will also not be there unlike the Warriors series. I still think Lakers have the edge but Denver have more tools to defend themselves than the Warriors did

2nd Contracts in the nba are based on regular season performances and where you were drafted sadly, Except if you win MVP or become all-nba.
Showing out in the playoffs only gets you like between 120% -150% of the last rookie contract unless you are a max or super max player

Really if you're Denver you just have to say over my dead body. Time's up old man and take this opportunity. That's what it comes down to

Lakers cant seems to go on a run in this fourth quarter.

An ejection will save the Lakers, they're stepping up. Lakers always leave it till late on

And just like that Lakers went on a 9-0 run 😂

Smell it??

Wow. If the Lakers steal this one. It's Joever. The series is on the line right here

Lmao. Where is donlittle? I kuku told you

Anyway this is good for the Nuggets. If they win it would mean the Lakers have wasted efforts to recover while they show ability to handle adversity

Damn, Lakers lose. I really wish Reaves had made the 3

James no!!!!!

@A40, I need you to retract some of the hate you have given to my guy AD because he is the singular reason they made it to the playoffs and he has been balling hard in the post season!

A40:

Baba, I they here o. Honestly, I think denver comes up with the W. But like you said, That means they can handle adversity. Also, Mike malone made adjustments in the last 3 minutes with the lakers pick and roll that i believe he will make use of in game 2.

By the way, the difference between this team and the warriors is night and day. Even with being down, they werent shooting threes like idiots.

A40:

Lol. It's jut one game

James killed us tonight

LeBron made them lose late on. A missed 3 and a useless turnover + those 2 missed free throws. Come on

A little too late here. Costly turnover just a moment ago. And if that 3 from Bron had gone in Onto game 2. We better not start that atrociously in game 2. I don't know whether we should bring Rui into the starting 5. He's done a good job on Joker in the 4th.

This is actually the Best case scenario for the Nuggets. Blowout win would have made them feel comfortable and head in the clouds. Now they know what it's going to take to defeat these Lakers. You're going to have to literally kill them before they go away

For the Lakers it's good for your mentality and culture but frustrating. You have to start from scratch Game 2 and all that momentum gone

Game 2 is now must win for the Lakers. Because Game 3 they will be under immense pressure while Denver would be playing with house money.

LBJ and clutch shouldn't be used in the same sentence


I hope he returns with anger to take game 2

Should the Lakers win this series people will say Lebron defeated the Nuggets forgetting all the work AD did.

If lebron and AD plays this well though and still come up with a L. It must be frustrating. But i don't see pope having 2 straight good games.

This series will be fire if game 1 is anything to go by. Very good basketball and both the main guys and the role players came to the party.

Hahaha I was only motivating him. He's the one that chose to spend his basketball prime under Daddy Lebron making sure he would never get his due credit when he wins but get all the blame when they lose. We literally had Bronsexuals on Twitter asking AD to get traded that he was wasting Bron's final years

Nikola Jokic really went 41st overall during the nba draft

This nuggets guys were just hitting impossible shots all over the court, like I'm suprised,
