Western Conference Finals, LAL(1) versus DEN(3)

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Who ya got?

 

[Joshoua]

If LA goes up 3-1 I’m putting everything I own on denver

 

[Warhawk]

I think the Lakers will likely pull it out, but I'm rooting for Denver. So, just like when the Kings play, I'll select them on the off chance I'm right.

 

[King Baller]

Anybody but LA............Denver

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'm rooting for the Nuggets, but I'm not particularly enthusiastic about it.

 

[kingsboi]

Nuggets don't have anyone who can bother LeBron and the Lakers don't have anyone to bother Jokic so this could potentially be a high scoring series between the two

I agree with this but at the same time Denver has better lebron defenders than Houston/Portland in Grant, Craig, and even Millsap

And the Lakers, it should be said, were possibly the worst offensive team coming into the playoffs, with their lack of any players capable of creating their own shot beyond Lebron or AD (who isn’t even very good in that regard). Of course, the postseason tradition of Playoff Rondo emerging from his den and declaring another two weeks of random 20 pt/12 assist nights might change that narrative but in terms of teams Denver CAN play good defense against, the Lakers are almost ideal (almost because they still have two top ten players on their roster and a long list of big men they can throw at Jokic to slow him down).

I just hope Denver wins, Lakers defndeing murray like they did harden/Lillard won’t work with the ball movement Denver has

Wow, refs just took Jokic out with 3 fouls as Howard is mugging Jokic. Hard to watch this if this is how the refs are going to call this

Scott Foster

 

[Joshoua]

Why do I watch this crap no different the WWE the fix was in from the start

 

[King Baller]

Jamal Murray got the technical for speaking up about Lebron fouling him.

 

[Suicide King]

Rondo is such a good passer

 

[Joshoua]

Lakers have 28 FTs anybody saying the refs don’t have an agend are absolute fools

 

[dude12]

Jokic and Murray with 3 fouls with a ton of time left in the half. Oh ok. THe RefS ArE The BeSt iN tHe wOrLd.

 

[Suicide King]

many a slip twixt the cup and the lip

 

[Iced Espresso]

Rondo is such a good passer

Shame we didn't try to get him for a second season here.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Davis has a -6 for the first half, odd

 

[Joshoua]

Lebron has 3 offensive fouls turned into and 1’s the refs aren’t even hiding there bias they don’t give a ****

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Okay, if you want to complain about the referees calling fouls against the Nuggets, you have to stipulate that they let Jokic get away with that.

that comment is just ....you must not be watching the game.

 

[Livinthedream]

Lebron is a good GM.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That was a bad call by Coach Malone, leaving Jokic on the court for that possession.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I am watching the game, and Jokic fouled him on that possession. I didn't comment on any other play, where Jokic may or may not have committed a foul, I'm talking about that play, specifically, that should have been his fifth foul, and the refs let it go.

Stop it man

 

[kingsboi]

Lakers playing like a team well rested and Nuggets playing like a team that just got done playing a game 7

 

[Livinthedream]

Meh. It's not a series until Denver is down 3-1 anyways.

 

[Joshoua]

Lakers took 26 free throws in the second quarter

I don’t wanna ahit about anything else
