A tough first half – yeah if you start three guards against a team with size. Took you long enough to put Rui on Jokic instead.
They better hope everything falls for them like it did tonight.
DLO playing like ass.
Why he cant just give up the 3guards lineup? No rebounds no 3pts no defense why?
Its over dawg. Easy sweep
Shrouder off the bench
So why did you start Dennis?
Out rebounded 20-3 to start and he says size wasn’t the issue. Come on own up to your bad decision.
Denver 2-0 is coming
The goal is to take 1 game in Denver and finsih’em in 6 in LA
The only adjustment they nd is to throw some doubles at Bron and stop switching on picks with LBJ he is the only problem i am more than happy with AD dropping 35+ a night
Game 2 line up
Lebron
Davis
Rui
Reaves
Russell
Gotta start Rui Game 2
Coach Ham should consider swapping out Dlo and put Rui into the starting line up for game 2. Tonight's 3 guard line up killed the Lakers on the offensive glass in the first quarter. Dlo's defense was a huge liability, especially when his shots aren't falling. The adjustment on sticking Rui on Joker in the 2nd half was a good one which allowed the Lakers come back. Outlook for game 2 looks promising for the Lakers..
That’s why I said put mo in so you can have that long arm ready to contest when already having a big on him in AD. Guarding Aaron for mo bamba is cake! He just wouldn’t be able to switch as good
How does it feel to play a legit team
He gambled with that small ball lineup. Hope he would not do that again.
People really think the Nuggets are the same team from the bubble. No way the Lakers winning this series. -A Bron Fan
They shoot like that again might as well give them they first ring 👀
Ham has no idea what he is doing. The Lakers just didnt try hard enough on defense.
The Lakers needed to lose this game, the learnings from this game is what's going to get them home! Great come back 💪
Lakershow in 6
Lakers: lose game 1
Also lakers fans: THIS JUST PROVED THAT WE’LL WIN IN 6
They just shot the lights out and had trouble getting around Jokic picks – need to hedge more and rotate faster
GREAT GAME KEEP GOING
memphis,golden state now denver thr 3 best home records the lakers are up against..better transition d is. needed and rebounding…..lakers won the 2nd half better start next game …go lakers !!
The NBA front office has this series rigged for the Lakers to win, probably in 6 games. Lakers/Celtics final, just what the NBA ordered, money talks. The winner of that game will lead the NBA in championships (18) as a franchise. The Lakers will probably win it all to pad Lebron's legacy in the same year that he broke the all time scoring record, just my opinion. 💯
No way he started 3 guards against one of the biggest teams in the league 🤦🏾♂️
That starting lineup fucked them up they should never do that again
It’s almost as if the coach and his staff did not watch film and scout the nuggets. You don’t start three guards against this team. Too many second chance points in first quarter. DLo should not start cause he can’t guard no one. Insert Rui and Vando. Let Austin run point.
Give cole swider DLo minutes 🤦🏽♂️ he’s a sniper
Stop plying 3 guards Ham. DLo need to show for game 2.
Gotta think they played their best game they could. The Lakers didn’t and we lost by 6. If bron and Dlo each hit one if their collective 7 3s the game is tied
What are you talking about Ham?! It was definitely a size issue! You can’t go small against Denver
The starting lineup was bad and we were getting killed and Ham waited until the last quarter to adjust we got in trouble with that 3 guard lineup why Ham sent the same lineup out to start the 3 quarter had his adjustment came at the start of the 3 quarter we might have won Ham got to do better let's go Lakers.
darwin cut the beard he’s back to being a bad coach
Hams càn use Tristan Thompson to rebound. We need big guys
They need to decipher when its a one on one situation or it's an attack to get your hands on the ball. When AD is trapped, his teammates never break free to get the ball. 😢
Denver better win game 2 you're not winning in LA
Much credit to Lakers for cutting the lead to 3 points. So Lakers can definitely win game 2. AD had a great game! LeBron had a very good game and Reaves had a good game on offense. Rui was also good off the bench.
Coach Ham and the coaching staff made some good adjustments in the 2nd half.
I agree with people saying Rui should start in game 2.
Even though Reaves had a good game on offense. I think Vanderbilt or Troy Brown or Lonnie can get some of Reaves minutes to give Lakers better defense and better rebounding. No offense to Reaves because his scoring helped Lakers. However I think it would be good for Lakers for Reaves to stay in the closing lineup.
I think if Lakers can improve their defense in game 2 then it helps Lakers win game 2. And of course transition defense and rebounding can improve from game 1. Goo Lakers!!
Lakers in 6 they have all the momentum now
