    Yeah AD had 0 rebounds with like 2 minutes left in the game- that can not happen.

    My biggest concern with AD is that, he can look like the greatest power forward that ever lived one night, and then look a solid NBA player the next.

    The loss was predictable .

    Halfcourt offense down the stretch sucks .

    I'm shaking my head each time I see Bron operating from the top of the key .

    Bron and A.D should watch some Kobe and Pau games and take a page from it ... Run some side PNR god dammit.

    AD didn't even bother setting screens .

    yeah, i thought a loss was likely in this one, but i hoped they'd keep it closer than they did. denver ran away after 1 quarter, pretty much. gave them too much confidence by letting them hold a double digit lead for like, 30 minutes of game time.

    The Lakers are where shooters go and promptly die, see every "shooter" in the past we acquired from DGreen now to George McCloud then

    lucky not to be down 2-1 right now

    NBA must be excited about a Denver/Miami Finals possibility.

    boston's going to beat miami. i'll make a determination on this series after the next game. lakers need to smash them back, or they'll really start believing.

    Predictable loss unfortunately and I saw it coming a mile away. Knew all day we were going to let this one go. Too bad, but made sense as this was do or die for the Nuggets and a good opportunity for us to put them away but not dire.

    Unfortunately between their comeback in the second half of game 2 and this win for them, they have life. I was glad to see us come back and make a fight of it in the fourth quarter. That part was awesome. Wish we had the gas to have pulled the come from behind win, but oh well.

    Hopefully we can get back on our stellar defense for game 4. We'll need it to get the next win.

    Yup. This was predictable. It seemed like we did not give a $#%^% at first, and for them it was a do or die game. Once we started playing with more energy, we almost erased that huge lead. But at that point it was too late and our guys simply looked tired.

    If we win tomorrow, we're going to the finals for sure. But need to make a statement right away, no screwing around.

    This was an Energy Game. Not gonna read too much into it.
    I'll save my analysis for after Game 4.

    My only concern right now is that the every other Day schedule may be taking a toll on our Vets.
    Would love to have a 3 Day break like the ECF got..

    I don't think so. With all the money the NBA has lost this season, I have no doubt they want the Lakers in the Finals.

    honestly, any final without the lakers won't be great for ratings. lakers/C Bags would be outstanding. look for it to happen if possible.

    Heat up 3-1 against the C Bags. Amongst other reasons, game 4 is a must win IMO, we need to keep up with the Heat.

    I am from Australia, so have a vague understanding of the size of US markets. Thus, I am asking, which is the bigger market...? Greater Boston or Greater Miami?

    Boston has more people than Miami and it's a larger metropolitan area as well.

    I dare say, Miami fans tune into the games 20 minutes late...? :)
