CK3: Livin da Nug life, we break em down & smoke em: Denver Nuggets vs Your Boss Angeles Lakers

[murksiderock]

Lakers played magnificent crunch time defense the last 4 minutes. That, and dominating the glass, and starting Dwight won the game for em tonight...

Expect Denver to come out guns blazing in G4, they are used to this. I wouldnt be surprised to see Denver win G5 but I think LA will come prepared and its hard to see Denver winning three straight vs this team...

 

[MikelArteta]

After he called out the coaches during the Clippers series they won the next three straight by ignoring his ass the same way they had before.

Porter went 1-3 in Game 5 and 0-2 in Game 7, and the Nuggets won both games. The only decent game he had was 4-7 for 13 points in Game 6, but the Nuggets won that game in the 2nd half when they outscored the Clippers 64 to 35 with MPJ only going 1-2 for 3 points in the entire half.

He's a ballstopper on offense and is constantly missing his responsibilities on defense, and Denver thrives by playing great team offense and defense. MPJ is a terrific talent but until he learns to cover the right responsibilities on D and swing the ball to the right guy on O, he's a detriment to team play.

So his 7 boards counted for nothing?

I swear y'all are hilarious. He didn't get shut down. He was just passing out of the double team.

He drew what should've been 2 fouls.

Then it was desperation time.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I’ll take it

 

[Flex Luger]

IM not a Nuggets fan....Refs made sure that game never got to 1 possession after that missed foul...

So the refs made Denver not make a FG in like the last 3 minutes?

 

[Voice of Reason]

They need to bench Green for Caruso or Rondo and put Lebron back at his position. He doesn't need to bring the ball up all the time.

 

[Serious]

Its not shut down defense but its not a foul either. Bron shouldn't be on Murray though, unless its a switch. Dudes lateral movement is done.

I don't see a foul. Do you see a foul? @Trojan 24

Impressive performance by the refs tonight

Did you bytch about the refs after Game 3?

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

That no call on Murray was the most blatant bs call ive ever seen.

Bruh I swear dudes just follow the games on twitter

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Lebron also needs to stop shooting the three as a make up because he cant blow past guys and find the open man.

He has Rondo to playmake, so hypothetically he can use energy to drive more and draw fouls.

Rondo isn't an all-game guy. He played 22 minutes tonight and almost half of that was running the offense when LBJ was on the bench.

LeBron still needs to be the playmaker most of the time he's on the court. He still needs to play elite team defense when he's on the court. And he is still the 1a or 1b scoring option when he's on the court. I'd suggest taking better threes too....but he's making more of his threes than his teammates are. Practically the only good 3s they hit are the ones he sets up (Lakers other than LeBron shot 39% from 3pt off of LeBron's passes this year and only 32% on all other threes).

I think they need to figure out ways to get both him and AD easier shots over the first 3 quarters without expending as much energy. But that's easier said than done.

The more realistic shyt is figuring out lineups that work without LeBron there so he gets as much bench time as possible. Rondo-AD-Dwight and any two of Caruso/KCP/Kuzma is the most realistic option I would think for not hemorrhaging points.

Last 5 min is one thing an entire game is impossible

Nah that would gas him only in the clutch shyt he was gassed today man is 35

Bro’s believe me I understand where y’all coming from and I understand he up there in age but Bron simply has to be on him more next game to put these dudes away because that nikka Murray is wild fam.

That Canadian nikka ain’t playing bro, he wants to win like his life on the line.

 

[Malik1time]

danny green is an embarrassment
am i watching the same game as ya but what does he contribute rn other than spacing the floor

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

It’s not about what you know...it’s what you can prove?
