At this point any Lebron James 3pt shot should be considered a turnover.

AD is missing shots he normally makes and they wasted an out of body game by rui and reeves. This is looking like a 5 gamer which means boston either needs to win the next 4 or miami needs to sweep or denver will have 6 days off before the finals

1. LeBron James has missed 19 straight 3-pointers in the 4th quarter dating back to Game 2 of the 1st Round this year. That's the longest streak by any player in the last 25 postseasons. :beli:

2. AD missing shots in the paint

3. Ham refuses to tell Dennis and Russell to stop taking bullshyt 3s

4. Ham also refuses to bring in Tristan Thompson for defensive help on the boards and protect the basket on drives…

Someone get the backpacks and fishing gear ready for these nikkas

Put in cooked Tristan Thompson.

"Why is Ham playing Thompson!!!!" "Ham needs to be fired!!!" :damn:

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
AD is fortunate to have Superstar talent but be in the shadow of LeBron's greatness.

If he was the leading man and the most popular player the media attention would be 10x worse.
Oh yeah, just watching last night’s post-game. He was dejected and moody. Fortunately Bron was there to answer questions.

The Truth
Jokic gets down the court on defense for a big man. You have to respect it.

The hate Jokic gets on here I don’t get. He’s a savant on offense, he hustles, he at least tries on defense even if he has limitations, and he’s a dawg on the boards.
He be trucking down court to get back on defense

As goofy as it looks you got to respect. Nuggets actually playing like they want a ring :yeshrug:

He right, and that is because the way the NBA media is designed that way. Narratives + big market teams will always be talked about more than smaller market teams.:manny:

There are narratives to tell and they’re not running with them

Like the reigning two-time MVP has his team in position to advance to the Finals now that he has some health from his supporting cast

Or Murray post-Bubble and post-ACL is better than he’s ever been—this man just scored 37 including 23 in the 4th; he struggled mightily the first three and then he went nuclear with the game on the line to help his squad prevail

Or the Nuggets in their first playoffs as a number one seed are finding ways to keep winning and on the brink of reaching their first Finals ever and they’re doing it against a Lakers team they’ve never beat in the playoffs

Instead let’s just talk about Bron doing this or AD not doing that :russell:

Defensive liability

Nuggets fans need to stop acting like scorned hoes. No one cares about your us against the world narratives or fight against internet narratives. AD shyt 50 percent when Jokic was the primary defender in game 1. He just missed shots in game 2 because that’s who he is at this point in his career. He doesn’t have the energy to be elite on offense and defense for consecutive games and he doesn’t have much space to operate regardless. Jokic just needs to keep his arms up at the rim. The missed wide open jumpers that allowed Denver to stay in drop are a problem.

But seriously, just handle your business like killers and stop bytching. It’s why Miami is a likeable team.

They were favored in the series and odds have only gone up. I thought players dont pay attention to tv? These dudes complaining about espn, who has tv rights and want to drum up audience to watch these games, the actual nba guy who has leaguepass, yea he is gonna watch regardless.. This is not complicated, if they win it then they will be storyline to carry whoever series they play in future..
