  1. Both_Funny4896

    Anthony ‘every other’ Day-vis is back

  2. ProfessorBeast55

    BOTH Lebron and AD were having a mid off. Braindead shot selection and piss poor effort

  3. madamsquirrel7

    Nuggets are gonna start leaving LeBron open at the 3 like Ben Simmons

  4. MakeAShadow

    Who needs rim protection when you have 4th quarter Jamal Murray.

  6. OptimisticLA

    Lakers 8-30 from 3. Nuggets 14-38. That was the difference even with Rui going super saiyan

  7. jackgap

    The reffing was incredibly inconsistent and disappointing on both sides tonight.

    Both teams were also completely gassed at the end.

  8. sloBrodanChillosevic

    Rui Hachimura can’t win with these cats

  9. cs-fi

    jamal: why play four quarters when you can just play one

  10. DjLionOrder

    The shot making by both teams in this series is insane.

  12. Palifaith

    Man that sequence after LeBron flopped only to follow it up with 2 bricked 3s really killed us.

  13. Apisit100

    ESPN: Lakers have the Nuggets right where they want them.

  14. abris33

    The Lakers looked so gassed at the end of the game. This series is every other day just like last series for them. That’s going to be huge

    LeBron bricking a bunch of 3s and then just playing exhausted at the end

  15. imeanYOLOright

    LeFlop was unironically the turning point of the game

  16. OptimusGrime707

    The only people I want to retire more than the refs after this game are JVG and Mark Jackson

    Horrible

  17. shanmustafa

    there was a report that said if you benched D’lo you’d lose him, yeah i’m completely okay losing him lmao

  18. bigtice

    When Jamal Murray woke up, the Lakers couldn’t stop him.

    6 straight threes by the Nuggets, including 4 from Murray, to erase a 2-point deficit and create a 12-point lead.

    But in typical Nuggets fashion, they got too comfortable and let the Lakers creep right back in after a 7-0 run in response and managed to whittle it down to 2, but the Nuggets managed to escape yet again — *thanks in part to LeBron refusing to stop shooting threes*.

  19. Vermillion_Crab

    Our 2 biggest stars failed Rui Hachimura’s legacy game. Smh my head

  20. theseabeast

    That ending was a Skip Bayless legacy game

  21. DwyaneSteph

    Bron’s age definitely showed tonight lmao. It was the same concern I had for Steph. Playing every other day for 2 weeks kills your legs

  23. Luck1492

    Jokic had a relative off night shooting and they still won. That’s hella good basketball.

  24. thekweensloth

    Give Jamal Murray the respect he deserves! That man played the whole second half and was so clutch in the 4th. And yeah jokic with his 7th triple double in the postseason. This might just be their year and I’m so here for it.

  25. HighPriestOfDongs

    People said the Lakers figured something out, people said the Nuggets figured something out. These 2 games have helped me figure out that Denver rates high on the big knocker MILF index

  26. NotForrestGump

    Not enough people talking about Bruce Brown. That freaking steal was so needed at the end. Bench player gets cookies on the current goat to seal a playoff game. Gotta love this game.

    There was a 4 minute span in the 4th from 9 min to 5 min where the Nugs basically hit 5 threes in a row… (it was 4 but Bruce Brown hit a 25 footer also) they need times like that so Jokic doesn’t have to do it all.

    Great freaking game. This Lakers team is built well top to bottom, AD and Lebron can have bad games and hang around. But 4th quarter you need the stars and Bron missed 3s and while Murray made everything.

    I’ll be watching all of these and enjoying them far more than my C’s vs the Miami dark arts

  27. r_conqueror

    Sir, a second moral victory has hit the Nuggets
