Anyone who thinks the Lakers are still winning this series is absolutely fooling themselves. We would literally have to win 4 of the next 5 games.

We don't have the best player in the series.

We might not even have the 3rd best player in the series if we being honest. Jamal is very much capable of out playing both Bron and AD.

We don't have homecourt.

Denver objectively is the better team.

This series ends in 5 or 6 if we get lucky.
Shyt looking like a sweep tbh. :mjcry:

I wouldn't call them team "stacked."
It isn't

Rui is the only real solid addition on this team in terms of "trade deadline guys"

Vando is WOAT on the offensive end, DLO is basically unplayable, and Beasley is LITERALLY unplayable. This is a decent team with 2 stars that gotta play heavy minutes in order to win. I wish we had a backup big or that DLO could actually play like a #3 guy should. Him and Reaves should be a deadly backcourt

I will say we seem to have figured out Denver on defense. I guess that’s a silver lining,

Yea it’s a wrap

The only way u win a series down 0-2 against an elite team is if you have the best player in the world. It’s how the raptors beat the Bucks in 2019 with Kawhi. Bron has come back from down 0-2 but he was the best player in the world. We don’t have the 2 best players in this series. Jamal might not be better than Bron or AD but he’s more of a threat which as we’ve seen is a lot more important.

:scust: no not in what is basically an elimination game on Saturday

This some shyt they should've tried in game 1 if they were going to do it
Lebron is washed, AD inconsistent, D'lo is no where to be found, Walker is still at game 4 of the Warriors series, Dennis is back in Germany, and Vando can't find the rim. Rui/Reaves are the only players I trust right now and I don't expect that to change.

Might as well throw in other players cause this series looking like a wrap :manny:

It’s essentially the 2011 series like I said

We’re getting killed by the best big man in the NBA and getting 3 pt bombed. That was the script. Kobe was hurt which made him look washed and Pau was soft and getting dominated by Dirk. Does that sound familiar?

We haven't had trouble like this during this postseason. They coulda won at least 1 game but didn't. They've came so far and are so close to the finish line. Let's see what kind of heart this team has and if they have the willpower to fight.

No one besides Denver fans wanna see Nuggets in the Finals. Come on, Lake Show, continue to make history. :mjcry:

Seem? THEN WE WOULDVE WON THAT GAME
The reason we lost was really AD going horrific from the floor (a lot of these seemed to be bunnies and midrange shots that were a lil long) DLO getting cooked in his minutes, and Bron shooting some untimely and bad 3 pt shots. Yet we were still in the game, and honestly we had this game under control from the jump.

I do understand the concern and it's valid, I suppose my main concern is strictly that these heavy playoff minutes seem to be having an effect on Bron + AD.. and you gotta win a game on the road to advance cause of our seeding so it's gonna be unfortunate to see them have to win in Game 7 on the road.

AD 41 minutes -10
LeBron 40 minutes +4

That's kind of crazy considering how bad LeBron was. 3 smoked layups/dunks and 4 horrible 3pt shots.

Reaves was a game high +13 and played 3 more minutes than D'Angelo -16 (team worst). :scust: Ham is going to have to bench him going forward.
