LeBron you cannot flop for that call a couple minutes ago and get mad there, that’s the life you live with the ref games
incredible game. has to feel inevitable for the lakers' psyche. murray was terrible most of the game but was elite late in the 4th. jokic absolutely abused anthony davis late, too. lebron gave everything.
The Self Proclaimed "Best defensive player in the NBA" getting builled under the basket and on the edge by guards. Rudy would never
shame that pathetic flop didnt get punished, but theres very little justice in this world most of the time
lakers got that performance from lebron, ad(absurd mid range shooting specifically) and russell and stll lost despite a horrific murray game, how depressing
Pretty fun that Jamal landed on his back and slid right in front of the Nuggets bench after the game winner
I thought the Lakers did some interesting stuff on defense that gave Denver trouble. They were doubling off Jamal whenever Jokic got the ball after the pick and roll but then pre-rotating AD to Jamal. Basically guarding Jokic and Murray with 3 guys instead of just doubling Jokic. It was working really well and Denver struggled to generate good shots more than they usually do.
from that point until lebron made that first 3 with 6.5 minutes left the lakers scored 9 points shows how off denver was tonight that they hadnt taken the lead much earlier
