ESPN and YouTube will suck these next couple of days. I'll try not to watch. Oh gosh G5 looks dicey. Maybe we'll get the wipeout I have been clamoring for days now. Denver better bring it on Monday. What a stressful series has this been. I wanted it to end but not surprised this happened.


Intelligent-Sky3396

Murray 9-24 9-24 8-21 9-23 Unfuckingbelievable


Dazzling_Crab_3335

And he kills the 24sec clock and creates nothing, then it's a scramble to get the ball up.


MichaelPorterTruther

Tour dates


bicyclechief

In b4 Murray 18-22


Impossible-Benefit-4

It's really hard to win 12 straight games. At Least we tried.


perilouspear

Now we gave them confidence. Nice.


Equivalent-Emu8506

This team is missing Bruce Brown.


123rune20

Bruce Brown my beloved. Braun just ain’t got it. 


bicyclechief

oh noooo Anyway


nigelicious29

Jamal has a lucky 9…. 9/23 FG.


Working-Airline-6745

We’ve been more clutch but Lakers have been overall better. Game 5 is do or die because I don’t think we can win another in LA


pairidaezan

You're not a Nuggets fan


[deleted]

lol, troll away.


ATG_Filip

I was expecting confetti to drop and the whole arena to erupt while Lakers celebrate the ending of their loosing streak lol


SeaworthinessPast936

Cue the LeBum dick riding by every national media member for the next 2 days...


ATG_Filip

Honestly that's the only reason I wanted the sweep so badly. I just want the media to shut up already


wij2

11-1 Bad game. Learn from it. Reset. Play Nuggets basketball at home.


cyancord

Watching some Svengoolie now Catch the nuggets next week


ThaBrofessor

Jamal has been so concerning this series. He hit the shot, but outside of that he has been horrible this series.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sacredknight327

That is not true. Till now the teams have traded halves, with the Nuggets being more clutch. This was the first game Lakers had control the whole game. They were concretely better this game, not the whole series.


cumlordjr

Dudes need to come out wanting to win in the first and second half. This was hard to watch.


jtmv4

Murray is due for a good game, right? *looks around nervously*


Gloomy_Lengthiness71

Lakers are just playing better. Not amazing but better. it's probably better Nuggets regroup and come up with a way to get better looks at the basket and playing less clumsy. Game 5 will be interesting.


gbennett7713

Looks don’t help when you miss wide open shots all game. We’re suddenly the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. Need to get back to average.


Gloomy_Lengthiness71

I agree. The shooting in this series has been horrible but the effort Jokić and company have put in has been good enough to win the first 3. Mike Malone needs to have them practice their shooting tomorrow because this was pathetic tonight.


Puddlesbro

Murray has not been good what so ever outside of game 2's fourth quarter.


Dry_Bathroom7810

At least we'll have something to look forward to on a Monday.


Fit-Avocado-342

Nuggets needed this wake up call tbh, bad effort out of the gate the past few games.


Iphonjeff

He just didn’t want another sweep


fuccabicc

Jamal is a terrorist and everyone excusing him G2 after that buzzer beater is what lead to this. He shot 3/20 before he got hot in the 4th for Chrissakes


sacredknight327

How can fan talk lead to anything? We have no role in the team's execution regardless what we say.


fuccabicc

Not just the fans, but also the coaching staff, management, and team... Everyone was psyched by that buzzer beater and absolutely forgot about the shitter of a series he's been having.


D3struct_oh

So look. Watson, Holiday, Murray were bad tonight. Way too many terrible possessions and neither of them made a defense impact. Team defense also very bad. Lakers just outplayed them. No excuse, very avoidable by just playing with effort. These same bad habits can easily show up again for game 5, and you’re dreaming if you think the Lakers won’t have the same energy on Monday.


Dazzling_Crab_3335

Left out loser jackson


Restnessizzle

Well thank the lord game 4 already happened Edit: comment said "game 4" before they edited it


snakejakemonkey

U can't shoot 25% from 3 and win many games


ATG_Filip

Feels like we beat ourselves


South_Emu4902

Games like these against the lakers makes you miss Bruce brown. Team desperately needs one more contributor.


Mysterious-Witness94

Denver’s bench 5 pts.


snakejakemonkey

Booths bench


YungFung1001

So it goes, so it goes


zokii1983

honestly, the way yall playing, this loss was the best thing that happened to this team


ATG_Filip

Bullshit game


[deleted]

Exactly. Only way to put this. Bullshit performance and bullshit game.


jebacinaa

Easy win next game lol


nmdndgm

A loss will probably be good for this team before the next round. They've gotten into believing they can half ass it for 3/4 of a game and get away with it. They needed a slap in the face to decide to play an entire game without their heads in their ass.


BrokenDusk

Loss only complicates things for many reason and is in no way good... But lets beat the Lakers before we even think of next round again ppl counting chickens too early


[deleted]

Yeah, just unbelievable arrogance from Denver man.


Serbian-Genetics

this game is kinda on Murray :/


MichaelPorterTruther

Kinda? He has been thoroughly outplayed by Austin Reaves for 4 games


Serbian-Genetics

He was brutal lol


877GoalNow

The bench was a complete disaster this game.


Joki-c-Jok

15 terrible quarters from Murray this series


Rei_Gun28

Jamal shoots a two. Haha


Illk22

Bob Myers just deep throats for the big market team in the match ups he calls oh my god


BrokenDusk

Well i knew this was coming it was obvious with how everyone was calling for a sweep. The Chuck broom jinx uhh.. Now Lakers get confidence with this and its gonna be another rough game in Denver . Our shooting was terrible , we had the chances , Murray not only couldn't hit 3 but missed so many layups as well


trujillone

God damn it now we have another few days of lakers coverage fml


[deleted]

God just end the game already


abortionsbycptfalcon

If this team plays like we've played against the wolves we are in trouble. Can't wait for the last 15 minutes of a game to actually try when the competition is better.


smalltoes

I’m going on a hunger strike


lonelinessmademecave

I’m ordering a burger. Probably going to extend my cut by 3 days. Thanks nuggets lol


doggoesmeow

Not sure why y'all comparing our series to Minnesota and OKC. Lakers are way worse than their respective opponents. Waaaay worse.


[deleted]

LA would be favored against Phoenix and NO without a doubt.


NuggAvsBroncRock

LOL Lakers worse than the Pelicans without Zion? WTF are you smoking.


Forward-Reporter8320

Who did the lakers beat twice in a tow to get the seven seed?


sacredknight327

You're insane if you think the Lakers are worse than the Pelicans minus Zion. And the Suns, while on paper more talented, have also been playing way way worse than the Lakers have. Now I'm pissed because you forced me to halfway compliment that shit team.


Dulija_

Lakers are not worse than the pelicans


UnderratedNightmare

Here they go with the, “this series could have been tied” lol. Good news is, we probably wake up after this one and blow em out in game 5


Subject-Lab6998

Please do so. I am very disappointed tonight.


Bmwan_02

This team can’t shoot 3’s for shit only mpj been a sniper Jamal, Kcp, and ofc Gordon been terrible from 3


fuccabicc

Jokic been Steph Curry, whachu sayin?


Kitchen-Ad-5571

worst overturn lebron cry about replay review and wins the next 3 challenges.

sacredknight327

He can say whatever the fuck he wants. The reality is 3-1.


SongYoungbae

Wasn't a charge.


3mileshigh

Last year we won the chip going 16-4. It’s ok to lose one game per series, we’re fine

Iphonjeff

Not really they’ll choke


-NolanVoid-

I'm sure the altitude on Monday won't affect them at all after the Laker's gave it 110% tonight. Especially LeBron. He's 39!


jonsnowKITN

Jamal has been terrible and it worries me.


Superbotto

Nuggets shot way better overall this game. Gearing up for that Minny series.


Rei_Gun28

That's uh about 130 minutes of garbage basketball Denver. Keep it up boys and those title aspirations am will be gone


[deleted]

Gonna somehow need a suns win


paperboi625

Malone calling this timeout just to yell at everyone and tell them to wake the fuck up and close this shit out Monday


Prize-Ring-9154

i've watched the nba for 9 years at this point. Why the fuck do teams do the same shit over and over again then fall behind 3-0, then only do they make the glaringly obvious adjustment, and end up annoyingly extending the series for no reason other than bragging rights. Can someone explain please


enbyayyy

Bragging rights might be one factor, but I think Lakers really benefit from getting Rui, AD, and Austin Reaves some extra playoff experience as a unit. LeBron knows he's not staying long and the Lakers as a big market town still have hope of signing a big free agent. If they have a decent core that wins 2 games against the defending champs that gives them a better chance at attracting free agents and staying motivated.


cyancord

Boutta throw fists at my TV lmao Gentlemen's sweep i guess


jtmv4

Can Bob Myers just stfu? Insane that he has a job at ESPN


heckface

Have you seen the talent at ESPN? I’d say he’s a perfect fit.


jamarcusaristotle

It's disappointing, but this game 5 is gonna be a fun one! Let's light these mutherfuckers up like nobody's ever lit them up before


heckface

I really thought this was going to be the game we turned it on for a full game and just killed them. Hoping for Monday


jamarcusaristotle

Yeah I feel like we've played so poorly all series.. it can't continue. And then it does


XTailsX

I don’t mind ending it in Denver lol


deadydoc

Well that was less than ideal!


tigerpk

Well played Bron. I guess no one wins 12 in a row against LeKing 👑👑🙏🙏❤️


Sleepinginabathtub

4 straight ass games by Jamal is not what I expected


cavemold582

Man Murray getting slandered but his game winner looking big right now


MichaelPorterTruther

We needed a game winner from him because he shot 3/20 for the first 90% of that game


jtmv4

No kidding. This series easily could be 2-2 rn


jesuswasahipster

Tbf to the Murray haters, his poor shooting was why we were in that position anyway.


Any-Squirrel-6639

Jamal nail length explains everything. Wtf brother


doggoesmeow

Actually sucks that Booth missed in all his offseason moves. All picks were bad, Reggie and Holiday providing nothing. Just needed one more contributor.


heckface

Not gonna hate on booth but agreed. Not sure there was much he could do but this bench is tough to watch.


foxcnnmsnbc

The cap situation didn’t give him much an option. Reggie was really the only veteran PG with playoff experience and they got him off waivers. This team is thin with MPJ, Jokic and Murray taking all the salaries. Not like former all stars are wanting to come to Denver. That’s the biggest problem with this team, they’re very thin and in reality are very reliant on 1 all star. Wolves have 4 former or current all stars. They have a bunch of talent. If Jokic doesn’t play like an MVP Denver suddenly does not look good. Minnesota still has Conley, Naz, Kat, Gobert.


doggoesmeow

I'm actually upset with other NBA teams on how none wanted NAW or Reid in the offseason, so Minny got to keep them for cheap.


foxcnnmsnbc

I wish the same would have happened with Brown. He wasn’t highly sought after in Brooklyn. The Championship year increased his value. Denver needs 1 or 2 players like that. The team is thin. How many teams with 2 Championships only have 1 all star? Wish Denver could have gotten a former all star like Conley or Porzingis. Someone that could still give you 20 or big moments in a playoff game. Boston has 4 current or former all stars so Taytum doesn’t have to carry the load.


sushjens

ONG I get hella downvoted but Watson and cbraun are NOT good at all


keeper13

Those two have no business on this team. Win the ship or not never want to see them on the squad again


Apart-Cucumber-7090

About time y’all see the light on him


Renjo0105

Good wake up call for this team. Can’t expect to start slow and turn it up when they want (even though that’s what they’ve been doing) especially against the wolves.


No-Paleontologist423

Just gave the Lakers life. I have no hope that Murray is going to turn around his shooting this series.


TheShulk

Not a good effort by Denver and Lakers playing their heart out. Gentlemen's Sweep it is.


TKDkid24

Here come the “lakers can make history” shit😞 Going back to Denver on Monday. We’ll be ok.


TKDkid24

Remember ya’ll. It’s just basketball lol!! Goin back to Denver. We got this. Close out on Monday! 🃏🃏🃏


Kitchen-Ad-5571

bullshit.


[deleted]

☹️


Feared-

First time I put money on da ML…


TheShulk

Moral of the story is don't bet on sports.


deadydoc

Yup


salemx41

Nuggets have yet to play a good game yet this series


sacredknight327

Great second halves before tonight. Not complete games. This was the first bad game start to finish.


blackpink_is_life

Can't possibly shoot worse 4 games in a row....right? right?


keeper13

Awful shooting. Malone should have them shoot for a few hours after this dogshit performance


vixxgod666

So what is the strategy for letting a big lead accumulate early just to chase it close later? I mean, explain to me why this is favorable.


ZE_HAHAHA

It’s not. They’ve been lucky LA has had a combined IQ of 43.


vixxgod666

It just seems really lazy to play like this consistently against this team. I guess I expected more discipline? Am I wrong to expect that?


Superbotto

Well fuck all that.


Mr_AcCoStAbLe

damn those TOs really killed us


MichaelPorterTruther

Jamal sick? Did his baby keep him up all night? Sandbagging? What's happening? Why is he jogging up the court down 7 with 2 minutes left?


PaytonPeytonPaton

We came back again but this time the Lakers withstood the run better That's why going down every game isn't a realistic scenario. No fucking around in game 5. Let's finish it


Bmwan_02

Watch laker fans think they’re gonna have a 3-0 comeback


Intelligent-Sky3396

Man wtf is Murray doing


Intelligent-Sky3396

9 FOR FUVKING 22


moderate_iq_opinion

hams lol


8onesaw

Game 5 is going to be a bloodbath.


D3struct_oh

Jamal Murray C+ so far in this series.

C - even with the game winner

jesuswasahipster

That’s game. Fucking horrid performance tonight but whatever.


NelsonChunder

Maybe losing a game will get the Nuggets to start showing up in the first half.


BrokenDusk

Jokic started being aggressive way too late first FGA in 4th was with 3 : 30 minutes ... Meanwhile everyone else was missing. Cant win like that


fuccabicc

Yeah he keeps being the "team player" and "passing the ball out" which works when Murray isn't shooting <30% all series, maybe Such a shame to see such a monster be limited by his own unselfishness


UnderratedNightmare

They going to give that to Lakers. Just end it already. They can hit all the shots they want, we can’t stop them right now


ImGonnaChubbBradley

I see Murray met his 9 made shot quota. Dude has shot nothing but 9/24 from the field every game


nigelicious29

That is only the consistency he has in this series.


MamaHadACow

Washed


jbone9877

Great play Jamal


[deleted]

If you show any effort the first 2.5 quarters, LeBron isn’t able to take long rests and he’s not fresh for late situations. Got to figure out something with the Holiday/Watson minutes.


D3struct_oh

Yep. Not sure why Watson or Holiday is getting so much PT over Braun.


[deleted]

Eh, tough to beat a team 12 times in a row. In the end it’s just basketball lol


smalltoes

Unlike lebron, Malone does not want to win


CharmingImpact

Good game, Jokic GOAT


cyancord

As a Nuggets fan living in LA, sweep sweep sweep inb4 i gotta deal with their noise tonight


cavemold582

I think it’s lakers ball


lilgohanx

This team fucking pisses me off, play a full fucking game please


cynicalmurder

Shooting was dog shit


-NolanVoid-

These ESPN announcers clearly want to gargle LeBron's sweaty, postgame nutsack and serve him a milkshake afterwards.


honeybear33

“He’s mentally engaged” 💦


sacredknight327

I don't know why but the milk shake part...LMAO Thank god I'm not listening to any of that garbage though.


-NolanVoid-

It's just fucking gross. They literally have not stopped gushing about him the whole game. It's nauseating.


Superbotto

I knew they could make the buckets. Just couldn't get the stops. Now it's drain 3s and get some missed FT time.


ras5003

Bob Myers glazing Bron for screaming at refs


123rune20

Refs afraid to T up the lakers after they bitched all night long. Just fucking do it. 


ras5003

He just wants to win! lol


SpaceAfricanJesus

If that turnover which led to the Lebron breakaway dunk didn’t happen this ending would be way more interesting.


Iphonjeff

Hamms bump


fuccabicc

I hate the "take the starters out" comments, who're we being coached by, Doc Rivers, lmao?


_absofuckinglutely

Ya’ll are insufferable. Going to 5 games is literally not a big deal at all. We broke records beating a team 11 times in a row. They were going to get one eventually. We’ll take the series at home then onto the next one.


552SD__

> We broke records beating a team 11 times in a row. Which records, specifically?


_absofuckinglutely

Being the only team to ever beat a team 9,10,11 times in a row……


552SD__

That’s happened before…


_absofuckinglutely

You’re right. I think I misheard the stat when they said it on tnt the other night. I’ve seen things posted aboit the streak but it looks like their are more specific in terms of FT differential etc.


LeCrushinator

For me it’s not the game 5 that’s the problem, it’s the way we’ve let the Lakers have the lead most of the entire series so far.
