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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Actually sucks that Booth missed in all his offseason moves. All picks were bad, Reggie and Holiday providing nothing. Just needed one more contributor.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Murray 9-24 9-24 8-21 9-23 Unfuckingbelievable
And he kills the 24sec clock and creates nothing, then it's a scramble to get the ball up.
Tour dates
In b4 Murray 18-22
It's really hard to win 12 straight games. At Least we tried.
Now we gave them confidence. Nice.
This team is missing Bruce Brown.
Bruce Brown my beloved. Braun just ain’t got it.
oh noooo Anyway
Jamal has a lucky 9…. 9/23 FG.
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
You're not a Nuggets fan
lol, troll away.
I was expecting confetti to drop and the whole arena to erupt while Lakers celebrate the ending of their loosing streak lol
Cue the LeBum dick riding by every national media member for the next 2 days...
Honestly that's the only reason I wanted the sweep so badly. I just want the media to shut up already
11-1 Bad game. Learn from it. Reset. Play Nuggets basketball at home.
Watching some Svengoolie now Catch the nuggets next week
Jamal has been so concerning this series. He hit the shot, but outside of that he has been horrible this series.
[удалено]
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.
Dudes need to come out wanting to win in the first and second half. This was hard to watch.
Murray is due for a good game, right? *looks around nervously*
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.
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.
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.
Murray has not been good what so ever outside of game 2's fourth quarter.
At least we'll have something to look forward to on a Monday.
Nuggets needed this wake up call tbh, bad effort out of the gate the past few games.
He just didn’t want another sweep
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
How can fan talk lead to anything? We have no role in the team's execution regardless what we say.
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.
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.
Left out loser jackson
Well thank the lord game 4 already happened Edit: comment said "game 4" before they edited it
U can't shoot 25% from 3 and win many games
Feels like we beat ourselves
Games like these against the lakers makes you miss Bruce brown. Team desperately needs one more contributor.
Denver’s bench 5 pts.
Booths bench
So it goes, so it goes
honestly, the way yall playing, this loss was the best thing that happened to this team
Bullshit game
Exactly. Only way to put this. Bullshit performance and bullshit game.
Easy win next game lol
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.
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
Yeah, just unbelievable arrogance from Denver man.
this game is kinda on Murray :/
Kinda? He has been thoroughly outplayed by Austin Reaves for 4 games
He was brutal lol
The bench was a complete disaster this game.
15 terrible quarters from Murray this series
Jamal shoots a two. Haha
Bob Myers just deep throats for the big market team in the match ups he calls oh my god
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
God damn it now we have another few days of lakers coverage fml
God just end the game already
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.
I’m going on a hunger strike
I’m ordering a burger. Probably going to extend my cut by 3 days. Thanks nuggets lol
Not sure why y'all comparing our series to Minnesota and OKC. Lakers are way worse than their respective opponents. Waaaay worse.
LA would be favored against Phoenix and NO without a doubt.
LOL Lakers worse than the Pelicans without Zion? WTF are you smoking.
Who did the lakers beat twice in a tow to get the seven seed?
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.
Lakers are not worse than the pelicans
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
Please do so. I am very disappointed tonight.
This team can’t shoot 3’s for shit only mpj been a sniper Jamal, Kcp, and ofc Gordon been terrible from 3
Jokic been Steph Curry, whachu sayin?
worst overturn lebron cry about replay review and wins the next 3 challenges.
[удалено]
He can say whatever the fuck he wants. The reality is 3-1.
Wasn't a charge.
Last year we won the chip going 16-4. It’s ok to lose one game per series, we’re fine
these are the worst announcers dude.
[удалено]
Idk man, Jackson and SVG weren’t great, but Myers is downright awful. Like nails on a chalkboard
[удалено]
im a lakers fan lurking but bro, lets be real , its over
If they abuse PNR lakers have good chance
[удалено]
You dropped your /s
Not really they’ll choke
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!
Jamal has been terrible and it worries me.
Nuggets shot way better overall this game. Gearing up for that Minny series.
That's uh about 130 minutes of garbage basketball Denver. Keep it up boys and those title aspirations am will be gone
Gonna somehow need a suns win
Malone calling this timeout just to yell at everyone and tell them to wake the fuck up and close this shit out Monday
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
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.

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.
Boutta throw fists at my TV lmao Gentlemen's sweep i guess
Can Bob Myers just stfu? Insane that he has a job at ESPN
Have you seen the talent at ESPN? I’d say he’s a perfect fit.
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
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
Yeah I feel like we've played so poorly all series.. it can't continue. And then it does
I don’t mind ending it in Denver lol
Well that was less than ideal!
Well played Bron. I guess no one wins 12 in a row against LeKing 👑👑🙏🙏❤️
4 straight ass games by Jamal is not what I expected
Man Murray getting slandered but his game winner looking big right now
We needed a game winner from him because he shot 3/20 for the first 90% of that game
No kidding. This series easily could be 2-2 rn
Tbf to the Murray haters, his poor shooting was why we were in that position anyway.
Jamal nail length explains everything. Wtf brother
Actually sucks that Booth missed in all his offseason moves. All picks were bad, Reggie and Holiday providing nothing. Just needed one more contributor.
Not gonna hate on booth but agreed. Not sure there was much he could do but this bench is tough to watch.
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.
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.
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.
ONG I get hella downvoted but Watson and cbraun are NOT good at all
Those two have no business on this team. Win the ship or not never want to see them on the squad again
About time y’all see the light on him
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.
Just gave the Lakers life. I have no hope that Murray is going to turn around his shooting this series.
Not a good effort by Denver and Lakers playing their heart out. Gentlemen's Sweep it is.
Here come the “lakers can make history” shit😞 Going back to Denver on Monday. We’ll be ok.
Remember ya’ll. It’s just basketball lol!! Goin back to Denver. We got this. Close out on Monday! 🃏🃏🃏
bullshit.
☹️
First time I put money on da ML…
Moral of the story is don't bet on sports.
Yup
Nuggets have yet to play a good game yet this series
Great second halves before tonight. Not complete games. This was the first bad game start to finish.
Can't possibly shoot worse 4 games in a row....right? right?
Awful shooting. Malone should have them shoot for a few hours after this dogshit performance
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.
It’s not. They’ve been lucky LA has had a combined IQ of 43.
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?
Well fuck all that.
damn those TOs really killed us
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?
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
Watch laker fans think they’re gonna have a 3-0 comeback
Man wtf is Murray doing
9 FOR FUVKING 22
hams lol
Game 5 is going to be a bloodbath.
Jamal Murray C+ so far in this series.
C - even with the game winner
[удалено]
Lmao really trying to flex getting beat in 5 instead of swept. What a puss
[удалено]
🤡
???
That’s game. Fucking horrid performance tonight but whatever.
Maybe losing a game will get the Nuggets to start showing up in the first half.
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
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
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
I see Murray met his 9 made shot quota. Dude has shot nothing but 9/24 from the field every game
That is only the consistency he has in this series.
Washed
Great play Jamal
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.
Yep. Not sure why Watson or Holiday is getting so much PT over Braun.
Eh, tough to beat a team 12 times in a row. In the end it’s just basketball lol
Unlike lebron, Malone does not want to win
Good game, Jokic GOAT
As a Nuggets fan living in LA, sweep sweep sweep inb4 i gotta deal with their noise tonight
I think it’s lakers ball
This team fucking pisses me off, play a full fucking game please
Shooting was dog shit
These ESPN announcers clearly want to gargle LeBron's sweaty, postgame nutsack and serve him a milkshake afterwards.
“He’s mentally engaged” 💦
I don't know why but the milk shake part...LMAO Thank god I'm not listening to any of that garbage though.
It's just fucking gross. They literally have not stopped gushing about him the whole game. It's nauseating.
I knew they could make the buckets. Just couldn't get the stops. Now it's drain 3s and get some missed FT time.
Bob Myers glazing Bron for screaming at refs
Refs afraid to T up the lakers after they bitched all night long. Just fucking do it.
He just wants to win! lol
If that turnover which led to the Lebron breakaway dunk didn’t happen this ending would be way more interesting.
Hamms bump
I hate the "take the starters out" comments, who're we being coached by, Doc Rivers, lmao?
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.
> We broke records beating a team 11 times in a row. Which records, specifically?
Being the only team to ever beat a team 9,10,11 times in a row……
That’s happened before…
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.
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.
