Jokic with a mediocre game, Murray with 7 points in the second half… and the Lakers still couldn’t pull off a win. WOW
Wow. Lakers go up 2-1. Crazy how much the series shifted once they put Rui on Jokic. Absolute coaching clinic from the Lakers.
bring out the brooms
Absolutely demoralizing loss for the Lakers. Not even Scott Foster can stop this Denver squad.
Someone should tell the Lakers that leaving one of the best 3pt teams this playoffs open from three every possession isn’t a winning strategy
Nuggets on the road up 2-0. Complete and utter refball against them, Lakers up 1. Go on a 13-0 run. Ice cold.
this series is over. if you can’t beat a team when taking twelve more free throws before garbage minutes at home, then it’s a pretty insurmountable gap
Who let these guys get Bruce Brown?
Shit went from “We got em right where we want em” after Game 1 to hey get the broom quick af lol
[NBA fans watching the lakers go down 3-0](https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/mens-health/what-should-i-do-if-my-erection-will-not-go-down/#:~:text=If%20you've%20had%20an,as%20can%20having%20a%20pee.)
Reaves first shot in the 4th was with 1 minute left after shooting 6/9 the first 3 quarters ham is a criminal for not getting him more involved in the actions down the stretch
So Jokic gets 4 “fouls” and has to sit out the entire 3rd quarter. Lakers didn’t take advantage and had to face a full rested Jokic in the 4th. Gotta love it.
Scott Foster legacy in shambles

My favorite part of this game was getting to see basketball terrorist Scott Foster bleed.
I mean, Jamal Murray put on a phenomenal performance tonight, but I still get twice as hard from seeing Scott in pain.
I am straight up having a good time
First Take on Monday: “Stephen A, are the Nuggets the most vunerable 3-0 team in NBA history?
Media after game 3:
The Lakers are down 0-3 in the series against Denver, however they can be the first team ever to come back from this deficit, this is how we think they can do it:
Denver seemingly just cycled through the hot hand all game. Murray, KCP, Jokic, a little more Murray. Really impressive stuff, the shot making discrepancy just too much in this series
Thought LA could have done a better job attacking Jokic with foul trouble earlier in the 3rd quarter
if a win ever felt like a loss, and visa versa, this was it.
The Lakers have to feel great, while the Nuggets very concerned.
It’s pretty clear what the Lakers defensive adjustment is. I’m not sure what the Nuggets defensive adjustment can be.
– Nick Wright 🤡
Jokić played like the MVP for the first three quarters, but then showed up as the All-NBA 2nd team when it mattered the most!
If D’Lo sees a minute of game time in Game 4 I’m just turning it off
Heat 🤝 Nuggets
Ruining the NBA Finals ratings
D’Angelo Russell with -53 this series
The broadcast actually sounded depressed during the final few minutes of the game. The state of this crew is just appalling.
