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

they won no KL on rd

 

Idk we are going to miss his 38% shooting and 20% 3 point shooting. Even D'angelo is shooting better at 3 than him.

 

NOOOOO!!! Heartbreak!!!

 

Murray is questionable with a calf strain for tomorrow's game 5.

 

I expect him to play but wonder if the injury will slow him down.

 

Game 4 was weird for me, it was tough to enjoy or be fully invested in. All the way through until maybe the final 3 minutes, I remained fairly certain we were going to lose. I've been conditioned by the prior 11 meeting and especially this series that is being up double digits is exactly where they want us and they'll still beat us in that game.

We're going to lose. Probably Monday but at least we made Mikey dip into that bag and throw out a couple counters for the upcoming game. Could be interesting with a hobbled Murray.

I wonder if we'll get Lonnie Reddish in this one. If that's Ham's big final card.

 

Those are tricky. He has the blown ACL (I think), hamstring, and now calf strain. IDK if they're all same or different leg.

Same situation with Giannis in Milwaukee and he's been out since the beginning of the Indiana series.

We'll see.

Yikes as expected for Murray , Lakers better advance now cause I don't trust Sota to beat the C Bags in the finals (and the refs to allow them to do so)

 

same. i fully expected a loss all the way until about that point as well. i was weirdly glad to finally break the curse and win a game, but also pretty annoyed knowing that it's been possible the whole time to break through, and we just kept failing for different reasons.

if he's on the floor, you have to go after him defensively on every single possession.

yeah, i said all year that i didn't expect murray to make it through four rounds of playoffs again (check the receipts), which was why i thought denver wouldn't repeat.

unless the C Bags have their own injury (my money is again on horford and/or zinger), they're going to waltz to a ring this year.

i'd like to see minny or dallas get it of the teams still standing/semi-capable. i'd say okc, but the media fawning there is already completely out of control (again).

 

Honestly it would be fitting if he hits the game winner against us tonight.

 

I can't fathom Murray missing this game or any of the remaining games and will not allow my brain to start thinking about a scenario where he does lol.

One game at a time. We've been up 12 and up 15 in our other two games in Denver. Go all out, extend minutes for guys tonight because we have two days off until a potential Game 6. If Vando is somehow available tonight, see if he can give us a few minutes but please do it in a situation that makes sense (maybe in Jokic-off minutes where he can focus solely on erasing Murray). Maybe throw the Wood/Vando combination out there for a few Jokic-off minutes, although Hayes did pretty well in Game 4 so maybe don't mess with that.

 

If Murray isn't 100 % Lakers are going to play game 6 at Crypto

 

lol, if murray's out, reggie jackson will dust off his cape and crush us like he's still a clipper.

 

Reggie injured too

 

lol, ruh roh.

it's ok. malone will run gordon (which he's done successfully and inexcusably already) or jokic at point and ham won't adjust until we've lost.

 

Sadly I think they have enough to overcome his injury and end it tonite .

 

No, they don't have McDavid lol

 

In any case Minnesota will annihilate winner of our pair ,but it's for another discussion
