we're just not good as Denver as of now. If we were, we'd be at least 1-1...We took it to Denver end of game 1 and they responded. Younger Lebron and we win easy. |
Yeah, even the lebron from January would do it. Unfortunate, but they are better than us at the moment . |
only way is AD going off in game 3 or 4 (need role players to step up in the other) and AD showing up in game 6 and one of the Denver home games. I'm talking at least 30 pts and not missing chippies like he's JaVele McGee |
We need DLO to show up more than anything. |

To me its not really that..its putting RUI in for heavy minutes and using Shro for defense. If DLO not having a good game then HAM got to recognize that quickly EARLY and make subs..LW4/AR/Dont care if it Shaq Harrison. |

lineup change should be insert Dennis in the starting lineup. dlo on the bench with limited mins. Rather have Beasley at this point who might get hot from 3. |

Not really shut down, less playing time and a time with the ball. |
He played 13 mins in 1st half and 17 minutes in the 2nd |

That should open up other opportunity for others... There's a reason Rui is scoring because Denver is living with him rather than others beating them right now. |

Nope why? If he been soooo found out...Why RUI still got his chef hat on cooking Denver.
Let me fix that quote for you
Now that Ham has been found out is this a clean sweep?
Why i say that?
The Denver Coach is egging this idiot coach to play DLO and he running right ito that trap because HAM is a STUBORN IDIOT. |

The nuggets have not scored when Tristan Thompson is on the court.
Coincidence ? I think not.

| another issue...the Suns actually played better defense in game 1 and 2 than the Lakers in Denver. We dont have a Booker or KD to score a bunch to bail us out |

Suns lost by 28 points combined in their first 2 games and neither game was that close. Nuggets shot 47-48% both games and that’s with Murray having a 0-9 from the 3 game. |

Dont need that ..its funny but we got RUI and AR...and they cooking. But coach got to sit RUI for no reaso,n and Coach got to let DLO keep getting cooked by BROWN for no reason. Its better to say the Suns had a better Coach and a superstar who can recognized that maybe ..just maybe i should drive or shoot midrange and not 3s everytime down. |

We should be much better than the Suns defensively but still allowing 120 pts per game and around 50% shooting. Suns allowed about 112 and 48%...disappointing especially with AD on our side. |

Playing dlo is a huge issue. And AD vanishing. I just absolutely hate the 3 guard lineups Ham has out there sometimes. never works unless you're playing the small ball warriors |

So are we better than the suns on offense then? Murray went nuts both games vs only once against the suns in the first 2 games on similar shots. If you look at the remaining of that series, Nuggets averaged 125, so game 2 was the outliner which they scored 97(due to 27% from the 3) |

yeah i dont think the suns are better defensively but we just havent been good enough. We were good enough in game 2 but didnt have enough fire power. game 1 really bothers me because we were clicking offensively. We need to ramp it up defensively in LA to have a chance. Suns were awful at home defensively. |

2 superstar did not show up in most important game of the year
It’s conference finals and we still have to wonder if ad will show up to the game
A bad game for jokic and he still has 23/17/12/3 😂 |

Jokic average 25ppg/12/10 for the season... Not sure you call that a bad game from him. That's actually a bit above average game for him. |

That's not a bad game for Jokic, it just wasn't as spectacular as game 1. Jokic is very consistent in putting up similar stats every game. |

If our hopes to winning this series was for Lebron or AD outplaying Jokic…then we’ve already lost. Jokic is better than them (and the rest of the nba) by a good margin. |

| Aging and reality is setting in for Lebron. A younger Lebron and the Lakers win this game. It is what it is. |
