We’ve seen this script before. Denver put away the Lakers in the 4th with perfect offensive execution. What does LA do now?

We should’ve had D LO play the fourth more. We had defensive players playing who weren’t getting any stops in the fourth. It was too late when Ham’s dumb ass finally put D Lo back in.
It's just sad.
So why not play AD with Hayes when lebron goes to the bench ?
I know because of lebron ankle he can’t always drive to the basket but he needs to stick to PF
Now u played the starting 5 so much they didn’t have legs in the 4th ,
It’s simple that u don’t trust the bench
idk what all the whining is about….Nuggets are clearly the better team and defending champs…no shame in losing to them and tbh, we're not that good of a team as our record shows
Fire Ham allready, an absolute terrible HC. No in game adjustment, tactically he is indept
We lost in the 3rd quarter and made this a game.
Our "OFFENSIVE" Stars LeBron & DLO, combines for 2-7 in the 3rd with LeBron doing costly mistakes, letting Porter Open 3 & Turnover to Murray for easy 2.
Those 2 won't guard anyone. And yet they can't even beat the Bench Lineup. Combined 0 Point spread for the Start of the 2nd & 4th.
Literally asking Reaves, Rui, AD to be PERFECT and play Defense while no one else helps them.
Doesn't help that you have the Worst Coach in the league too.
Makes me sick.
I don't understand why AD can't guard Jokic. Jokic is taller but he seriously only has like a 12" vertical – he can barely even dunk, for Christ's sake! AD is much quicker and more athletic, so I don't really know what the issue is. Jokic is a crafty high IQ player, but AD's superior athleticism should win out yet it doesn't – I don't get it.
Only time I see Murray mean mugging with his fake Kobe intense act showing all his crooked bottom row of teeth is when he playing the Lakers ..play the Suns Clippers Warriors or Celtics he's casual
At this point Dwight Howard is the only match iv seen for Joker and the dude not even in the league
Same reason they lost darvin hams mistake. He rotated lebron out for prince as a pf(bad coaching). I would rotate lebron with hayes not prince. Dlo and dinwiddie thats okay. Lakers lost because of size and match ups and coaching.
This is Lineup that didnt make sense to me. Ad, prince, rui, dinwiddie, austin reave. This was the lineup that got nuggets to catch and ruined momentum.
Lakers need to sign a seven footer that could protect the basket. Ad is over rated when they say he is one of the best defender out there but cant guard jokic but cant guard embidd. Maybe a smaller forward or smaller center.
Play taller players against the Nuggets it’s not that hard to see
As a heat fan it’s okay they do this to everyone. Close game and they always pull away with 3 minutes left
Lakers should have went and got a big rebound guy, Davis can not get every rebound.
I blame the coach, it's like 90% of the team has forgotten how to rebound, not even the basics.
I'm surprised they can beat anybody with such sloppy fundamentals.
It's the coach's job to light a fire under all his players, that's his job.
It's also the coach's job to KNOW decisively exactly what he's going to do right away to adjust under certain circumstances.
Ham is not a bad coach, he's a mediocre coach, and that isn't going to cut it.
Whether trevor/ sean wanna admit it or not, they should go get dwight howard and he needs to start alongside ad. Ham gets flustered down the stretch and gets outcoached. Prynce and gabe gotta go. Pelinka is dumb not keeping the 2020 team anyway. Idk Nuggets are good but we dont have an answer for jokic. Nobody on the lakers can guard him.
Ps: trevor stop tryna take up for ham and reaves….
BREAKING NEWS! The LAL lost to the the Nuggets😂 Again!
AD needs a reliable big next to him, and they need a 3 pt specialist
The offense and defense in the last 2-3 minutes were disastrous
Lebrun takes bad shots either just a little prosperity and that starts the problem.
THEY DONT VALUE EVERY POSSESSION
Also, Lebrun holds the ball too much and too long
It’s not good basketball when that happens.
You can’t blame AD when they don’t give him touches and involve him in the action
What adjustments did the nuggets make? Shut up…..do blame coaching…
If you can't stop Yeokish you can't win. Bring back a Dwight Howard. someone to get him into fowl trouble. Stron like a young Mobamba or Gabriel .why was those 2 big guys traded…
Master lock rob pelinka for year after year refusing to get a defensive minded big body big as well as every year refusing to get any 3 and D wings or guards when for YEARS we have known exactly what we need to kevel up and beat this team and rob just refuses too cuz he doesnt know basketball and yall keeo giving him a pass every year
Lakers will never beat denver myswell just rest Bron and Ad the rest of the season no playoffs Bron is gone this summer
MasterLock: Last 4 minutes, Coach Ham, AD playing soft,
One word: trash
Need a Bill Laimbeer/Rick Mahorn type combo to rough Jokic up a little.
You need a center and a guard who can push rock dlo n ar are to slow cant push rock . Denver works the chalk board n forwards are athletic n hits open shots
