Man. It’s love/hate with Bron. Dude is so good and gets ish done, but at the same time when he ain’t playing the Lakers playing real smooth. Man. AD was on.

Perfect chance to win, but gave it away. Pockets had 2 TOs left while his players look gassed. Im ready for another sweep tbh

Let’s be honest. Our bench wasnt doing anything for us during the regular season, they for sure are not stepping up now. They’re afraid to shoot. Dinwiddie air balled a layup….Well......they still don't bleed.
59 points at half.
99 for the game.
AD hit 32 early in the 3rd. Never scored again.
Jokic demolished him the second half.
6 points from our bench. Two 3's by Prince.
Thassit.
We had a great chance. Now......we're in danger of a horrific drubbing in Game 3.
It's time to be honest with ourselves.

Exactly. Players looked gas. Didn’t use his challenge. That’s an extended timeout while the refs review.
He got outcoached again.

Dinwiddie needs to do commercials for a treadmill company. Wild Lakers thought he was the missing piece lol

AR barely brushed Jokic. Foul
AD gets bodied, no call

It’s the coach’s responsibility to make sure his team is getting AD the ball in the 4th
But we all know Ham is piss poor in awareness and game recognition
Lakers were up big only because they were hot from deep. How many games in a row do they get this hot from deep?
What happened in the last 4 min when they were no longer hitting all those threes is the difference between a contender and a pretender.
They failed to EXECUTE. And when I mean execute, I mean force feed AD every time down the court since he been cooking all game. That ONCE AGAIN is on Ham.
Game 2, 2023 playoffs last season in Denver, the exact same thing happened. Lakers were up and blew it. You’d think the coaching staff would’ve learned by now
0-10. Let that sink in

Can’t imagine watching all time greats like LeBron and Joker go at it in a close playoff game…with an assassin like Murray hitting game winners and the only thing on your mind is coaching…

The bench is basically unplayable. Gabe, Dinwiddie, Hayes are all trash. Rui been trash. Austin been trash. This team is basically 2 and a possible.
Lakers led like 46.5 minutes of the game.
I was wrong.
Lakers led for 47:16.
Nuggets led for 44 seconds........

those calls like the DLo getting hit across the face being overturned really hurt...but that's not the reason for the L here...
letting bron and Rui run the 4 and 5 AGAINST THE ******* MVP SEVEN FOOTER for a long stretch...
and that was a great effort by AD...but on the last shot you gotta play defense with your head...I saw the step back middy coming from when he and jokic got the switch CMON MAN

Do not count on the Lakers being this hot from deep again on Thursday when Wood and Vando return

Just unbelievable but we've seen it so many times tbh it's not surprising. Just completely go away from him when he's cooking.

He was wide open and hit a couple threes in the 4th already, but damn, wish Bron would've held that ball.

I don’t understand why you go away from what was working with AD. Just completely abandoned it…

AD shot some weird shots in the 4th, he got away from posting up. He got timid. But he did score 32 which is what the Lakers need to win. He’s gotta continue to score over 30.
I agree Ham maybe could have adjusted better but no one was hitting shots for basically ten minutes. That’s not on the coach they went cold.
Rui was useless. Bench had 6 whole points. Denver 12.
Dlo hits what 5 threes in the first and ends with 7. He disappeared except for that last layup and that one shot in the corner.
Lebron has played all these times in the playoffs and cant lead his team to victory? He has more experience than anyone.
