Playoffs - Round 1: Lakers Vs. Denver. Let's Freaking Go!!

All your adjustments depends on Jokic and Murray.You didn't do s*** with Isaiah ,Rudy Gay and DeMarcus

 

Not gonna cut it even if you're going with a playoff level short rotation (we're not)

 

Michael Malone, while a tool, is coaching circles around Hambone. The one mic’d up clip from him in Game 2 is more coaching than I’ve seen out of Darvin for 2 years.

 

well, you came within a ballhair's length of losing at home in game 2 and were down 20 in the third. what's it going to take to dip into your magic play bag*?

*two man game with an all time great and the love child of mike bibby and jason terry but 5 inches taller

 

I agree, they held serve, we just need to do the same. I think we win tomorrow by 20+.

 

i don't, but i love the sentiment and don't think it's impossible at all.

 

I'm staying optimistic because the way work and the grandkids games are falling, I'm actually going to get to watch the entire game. Even if we only win by one I'm good...lol.

 

I completely agree. It's sad that everyone but our coach can see that the AD pick and roll is unstoppable right now. Switching Gordon put AD in the corner for the remaining of the game. On the other end, Ham has done nothing to slow down the two man game between Murray and Jokic. It's maddening, really.

 

Hard to imagine those two impacting this series. It would be a great story, but probably an overly homeristic take.

 

They’re 0-10 vs this team. Unless Jokic is off the court because of foul trouble or injury the Lakers chances are mighty slim

 

Murray tweaking an ankle or something, would do the trick too.

 

not sure I agree here, the 3 ball by james wasnt by design, Den had not time out but that Murry switch to get AD on him was definitely by design

 

All imma say: Lakers in 6.

Thats all.

 

3 Rd time is a charm.Why everyone in media think that is sweep.If Davis play like he did first 2 games,we would have swept Denver last season and would win 18 championship.Murray scored last season at game 3 37 points
P.S I don't believe in b******* like momentum in playoffs.Today is another game and there's no momentum from game to game.10-0 is not a joke,but it was same vs Clippers.
If Lakers will score more than 110 points Lakers are gonna win

 

No Vando or Wood tonight either. Even if we go down 3-0, I'd like to see Vando play in Game 4 if he's at all able to. I want to see if the regular season stuff we did to involve him in the offense holds up in a postseason setting.

I’m known as the optimistic Lakers homer in my group of friends. Wish I had the hope some of y’all have. Feel like I saw this movie last year. Play them close in Denver, start to think we just need to hold home court to make it a series again. Get off to a fast start, only to be let down.

I would love to be wrong, but we have 2 years of data to not believe in them against this particular team.

Fingers crossed I’m eating crow after Game 4.
