If we’re being honest DLO averaging 13 points per game instead of the 6-7 that he did probably turns that entire series around.
@Torrential doesnt seem to understand that the Lakers were not the better team to begin with. The starting PG was unplayable, they had no answer for Jokic, KCP and Bruce Brown and Gordon and Porter outplayed the role players in important moments. There wasn’t a single reason why the Lakers lost
You can't reason with stupidity.
Blaming LeBron for a MURRAY matchup makes zero sense because Murray is not LeBron's cover. Bron guards Gordon and MPJ. If he's ever on Jamal it's because it's a switch or late in the shotclock or some shyt.
Murray cooked us because he's a star. That's what stars do. They can't be stopped, simply contained. That's why I always used to laugh when nikkas called Bowen the "Kobe stopper" because he ain't EVER "stopped" Kobe, just made things difficult for him.
But again, Bron was injured in that series. He clearly wasn't himself, and yet, ever game came down to the wire except for one. Multiple things went wrong.
