    This reminds me of game 4 of the finals in 2008 against you know who. This one cut deep.

    Yeah, this is therapy worthy. We just can't beat these guys. Our stars play well, we start strong, build the lead, but ultimately they have a better game plan and their execution is much superior. And then we fold every single time in the 4th. In the end we'll say how it was close, "we barely got swept" (LOL), but we all know deep down their team is just better and it's going to be 1st round exit for us. Last year we got lucky with the matchups, and matchups are everything in basketball.

    you really couldn't play a much better game than the lakers played last night. can't do nothing but admit that you lost to the better team at that point

    Kind of depressing that the Lakers starting unit has basically won the matchup against what is considered one of the best and most complete 5 man units ever and are still down 0-2. Guys are getting gassed and Lakers literally have no bench guy they can trust.

    Yeah. I think we had plenty of time to get another look and/or attack the basket. At the very least, we could have run the clock down some more and given the Nuggets less time to operate. They may have still hit a clutch shot, but still.

    That's a tough call given what our offense looked like for the previous 18 minutes. Hard to count on a better look than that.

    This game might actually be what spurs us on to victory. We play to not lose instead of to win late in games with Denver bc the players don't believe they can win and have no confidence in Ham. At some point the players just have to show up and make plays/shots late in the games. You get tired of being a joke quit playing scared and do something about it.
