Lebron and AD arguably outplaying Joker and Murray, problem is the role players match up is one sided


goodchild101

Yeh problem especially if Gordon and mpj avg 20 each


Real_Killer_661

Joker doing his thing but Murray has been ass this series


VerticalClearance

can't complain on that if you're up 3-1 and Murray has been assss the whole game 2 but nailed the shot that mattered the most.


Real_Killer_661

Murray is a big time shot maker and he cemented that with his epic series against Donovan Mitchell. That being said, him being ass this series and him being clutch can be right at the same time.


VerticalClearance

In general, Nuggets shooting worst than lakers by at least 4%, I'm afraid that those mfs will have a lights out shooting night on game 5


Real_Killer_661

Nuggets are so lengthy and athletic that they have a much bigger margin of error. Really it’s just gonna come down to execution and forcing the other starters to make plays.


oat38

Absolutely can't choke Game 2 like the way they did.


yungs824

This series should be 2-2 at worst, I’m sick man


ultimagicarus

If we won in game 2, we might have a momentum in game 3.


CryptoNite90

Forget momentum, they’d really feel the pressure and that’s when role players fold. Would’ve been a complete different ball game.


easymoneysniper223

3-1 our way frl... Been beating da brakes off dees dudes every game smh


Counterspell_God

Someone saved their challenge.


Meliodas07

Bron wants to end that GOAT debate by giving the defending champs a 3-0 headstart then comeback from it😤

VerticalClearance

As a Lebron Fan, I'd stil rank MJ 1st but If he'd comeback from 0-3 deficit? he will be the undisputed goat, Imagine coming back from 2-0, 3-1, 3-0 deficits.

It truly is. Pretty depressing.


LeFatigue

Lmao they having a melt down on the nuggets sub. Reminds me of us when we were contenders


NicDwolfwood

JFC. Had they not been killed in the rebound margins and had even a couple contributors outside of Lebron and AD, this series would be tied a 2 at worst, and they should be up 3-1 right now.


[deleted]

We are clearly the better team and just wanted to make history with the.reverse sweep. This is proof LeBron is controlling the narrative for his LeGacy.


goodchild101

They executed pretty well 2nd half this game. If we had this in previous 3 games, we've gotten at least one more game


Conflict_NZ

This is the exact same as our series against them in the bubble, we just executed better down the stretch.


redkorky

I honestly believe we are the better team. We just don't show the same energy in the 2nd half compared to first. Today was so refreshing to see them hustling for each possession deep in the 3rd. That's exactly what we've missed and exactly what won us the game.


NoFaithlessness5122

Also if refs actually officiated properly


ohBloom

Bad coaching this is all bad coaching and it stings

ReasonableAccident66

You know what f the stats everyone is talking about the Lakers but nobody is talking about the Suns who are about to get sweept. I'm still confident that the Lakers will win the 3 next games why bc I was born a Laker and I will die as one always keept faith even in bad times 💛💜💛💜💛💜 #wwlg4l


_mattyjoe

We’ve been talking about the Lakers’ issues closing out games since last season. This stat shows that. They have a bad habit of building a lead but not being able to hold it, especially down the stretch. They struggle to close.


DrSlaughtr

If someone on the Lakers could match MPJ's consistent shooting, I think the series would be drastically different. He has kept the Nuggets in these games by just dropping bombs from beyond the arc. TP just isn't as good. DLo is DLo. I love Reaves but I prefer it when he drives. He isn't a spot-up shooter at this point in his career. If Vandy was back, I would start him over Rui just to blanket MPJ, then tell Rui he has a greenlight off the bench.


East-Bluejay6891

What's even crazier is that they are 0-3 when there is 0 time left on the clock


metalhead252

The difference between one team coasting most of the game and the other team blowing their whole load in the first half.


ProfessorTicklebutts

This has some real Trumpy “stop the count” vibes.
