    This series shows just how important consistency is in a player.if DLO and AR were consistent the Lakers could win this series…..but they are not

    This stat is enraging. Based on controlling the game we should be up 3-1, but instead the series ends Monday. Happy to avoid the sweep again though, AD and Bron showed up big, Reaves was solid and DLo hit big shots. Prince was yet again the best bench player, Gabe remains awful, and Spencer I think still believes he’s a free agent or something and these are just gym run games.

    Probably a gentleman’s sweep, but hopefully getting the monkey off our back gives the team a little more confidence to weather the storm in Game 5

    Damn shame man, we have wasted a mediocre series from Murray and poor 3 point shooting from their entire team, series should be tied at worst, we just have hurt ourselves when it counts, same as last year. This was the first game I thought a lot of loose balls went our way because of better effort as well.

    Why are we losing when we’ve contained him? Why are we losing when we’re leading the majority of the minutes?

    It’s because the team lacks composure. The team is unsettled, not stable, not calm and not resilient. It falls on the coach. Properly motivated and focused teams don’t drop leads like we’ve been doing all season frankly.

    God I miss Phil. He’d have this team locked in. We don’t need a Phil though. Ham is just considerably bad at emotionally leading the team, x/o’s aside. Almost anyone would be an improvement.

    As I've said many times before... In the Sweep last year, 3 of those 4 losses were within one basket in the last minute of the Game.
    At least the Lakers know they can beat 'em now... Go get one in Denver & make them sweat a bit.

    Man the coach isn't out there bricking wide open shots, and turning the ball over in crunch time. That's Lebron and crew.

    If anything it seems that they are following the game plan well, right up until it's finishing time. Then they choke..with the ball in our best players hands to boot.

    Ham sucks big time but NBA caliber players have to make open shots. I could have read War and Peace in the amount of time Rui had to make a WIDE open shot. Of course he bricked it.

    You're right. Why have a coach at all?

    you’re not wrong but Denver has made 2 more 3p than us this total in this series. Getting stops and getting rebounds would’ve helped big time

    That's Ham's burner account, no use in arguing with Ham.
