If Bron plays below average we win. Limit his minutes. We need quality than quantity.

Lakers C Mo Bamba (left ankle) is expected to be cleared for a return as soon as Game 4 or 5 of these Western Conference Finals, sources tell ESPN. Bamba, who’ll have missed nine straight games including tonight, could offer an option for some limited minutes on Nikola Jokic.

Asking Bamba to give Jokic fits isn’t being realistic, he’s a raw big man with little to no playoff experience, what he can do though is help us by being a presence out there


Yeah. By "some limited minutes" on Jokic, I assume that mean he has six fouls available to give. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lets go.

They said their emphasis has been on transition defense in practice and meetings, which hopefully they prove tonight

LeBron practicing nothing but 3 pointers pre-game, no mid range, just 3 pointers… this a good thing?

Win or go home game. Let's go!

C'mon DLO. I very much prefer you to Kyrie but if you keep up the disappearing act i'm afraid RP/Bron might not be so sentimental.

Hopefully he drains those during the flow of the game and not part of just settling to get some rest.

Bron knows his 3 ball is bad. J-Will, Stephen A, Skip, Shannon, Broussard, Cowherd, and Perk all called him a terrible three point shooter yesterday all over tv and said he hurts his team when he takes a three. Perk doubled down and pointed out he’s 1-23 in the fourth quarter so he’s just giving away the game.

He heard all that (bleep) in some form and he’s never been called on it before like that

LeBron might make them tonight but can't keep shooting and missing them or series will be lost. Just 2-3 possessions often make a difference between winning and losing.

If DLO plays poorly the entire series they will still sign him but I'd guess he would be traded at some point.

After seeing what the Lakers did in games 1 and 2 I have confidence we can take game 5 or 7 in Denver. Just need to win all our home games.

Yeah we kept it close lost both games by a total of only 11 points. Both were winnable.
