Lakers Vs Nuggets: Western Conference Finals Discussion

I'd say we are really, really really good.

 

I was thinking the same. He's perfect for what we need. He doesn't dominate the ball, can shoot, can score, can create plays, clutch... Denver's got a good one. I think he's the Nuggets best player. When Murray has the ball, something good happens for the Nuggets.

 

3-1 Denver has us exactly where they want us.

 

LG was such a great site until liberal scumbags took over. They are despicable.

 

I totally agree, the Nuggets are probably the team that is best suited to beat the Lakers.

And that being said, they are still down 3-1. That is worthy realizing.

But they are going to get better over the next couple of years. They have a number of really good younger guys like Grant and Porter that have a ton of room to improve and become more consistent.

I think we got the ring this year but we will need to add a third solid scorer to achieve more rings after this.

Our offense can really become stagnant. I don't like our offense when Lebron sits on top of the arc and waits 10-15 seconds while deciding what to do, while AD just sits out on the wing waiting to be open and for someone to pass to him. Nobody was moving and nobody was cutting. Frigging zero motion. Howard was a big key for us tonight.

 

Oh... the stories I have about Phil...

I should probably hold my tongue, at this point.

 

I feel the exact same way, it is what led me here. I was VERY disappointed with all their political talk BS. When it came down to it, I realized that most of them probably hated me. F it. I don't mind opposing opinions but when they rip you down for not agreeing with them, well, they can kiss my a**. I won't put up with that anywhere. I will respect anyone who will respect me. If you don't, well, no worries but F it, I am out.

I went in to their political thread that was ripping on all conservatives and said they should all be ashamed of themselves and told them the thread was absolute trash. I left the site right after, but went back to that thread to see what happened in response to my post and found that they had deleted it. It went on for too long and I lost my love of the site over it.

 

right, once or twice maybe but after that you are just a dummy.

 

What a dreadful, dreadful series. I've never been so stressed while ahead the entire game. Maybe I just forgot what it feels like to be in the playoffs, but I think the way the game has changed the last few years, teams can close gaps so quickly, that any time we have a lead, I just feel dread. Anyway, happy to be up 3-1. Let's close this out Saturday and get some rest.

 

Oh, I want to know. I spent years there and burned out. Send it to me in a message please.

 

I feel the same. My dang blood pressure had been over 160/69 which is F'ing nuts. I am completely nervous during the games.

 

Not all 3-1's are created equal. Denver is a good basketball team. Both teams play very good defense, and the offenses have to make incredible basketball plays to overcome it. This is intense playoff basketball and I love it. It's been 9 years. My forehead is sweating when I watch these games. This years' Clippers/Houston couldn't dream of playing as well as the Nuggets right now.

I will never like Murray because of the Lonzo Ball stuff (don't care about Lonzo, I just thought Murray did a punk move against our team) but damned if I don't respect him. His only knock was consistency, but he's had 3 rounds of huge games and ridiculous plays. Nuggets will be a playoff team for years to come, and they already have been. My hot take: right now in 2020 he's a better guard than James Harden.

We just need to stomp these guys out. No more life for them, they can play.

 

I think the Lakers silently stomped them tonight. Denver played as good as they could have. It meant nothing. Didn't have a lead in 48 min. Lakers are the s***. 5 more wins to close this mofo out.....

 

I agree. LBJ didn't have a great game either. I also think the Nuggets were in it until :30 left in the game. Lakers played with an urgency I haven't seen before. To close it out we need a complete 48 in game 5, just like tonight.

 

Same, this series probably took a couple years off my life. I’ve been anxious every gameday.

 

probably because the last time this team was in the playoffs, basketball wasn't just about who can shoot the most 3s

 

Actually, Dwight Howard is the one who keeps breaking Jokic. The breaks that come are done by the Lakers. They didn't get anything from anyone in this game. The Nuggets barely missed anything for 4 quarters and the Lakers still won wire to wire.

 

Dude... that's not healthy.

I'm about to have my 2nd open heart surgery, due to BP. (Aortic dissection, 3 aortic aneurysms and 2 major strokes)

Please talk to your doctor and ask to have a CT scan (WITH contrast) done.

It almost killed me once.

11 years ago they told me cracking my chest open again, would result in either death, or paralysis. I pray medical science has advanced far enough.

I have a consultation with Cedar-Sinai next Wednesday.

 

I am normally great, we have a blood pressure arm band, my typical measurement is about 120/60 but I fry out during these games.

Good luck with your stuff, that sounds serious! At least you got Cedar-Sinai helping you, those guys are great. My wife is an occupational therapist and works at a large hospital in San Diego. She is on my a** about all things related to health.
