I want Reeves and DLo controlling the ball more...if its working stay with it!
Ham needs to find ways to get Hayes in there with AD...
Love to see Max in there...but not with Lebron... Prince and Lebron work well together
We should not have both AD and bron out at the same time!
Go Lakers!!!!

For once I would like to se someone foul a Nugget hard. These guys seem so casual at times.

I think we lose. A lot of times when a team has been on the road for an extended time they come out a bit listless. Unfortunately.

Lakers have been playing Nuggets better as the series has progressed. Gave them fits in game 2 on their home floor where they are dominant. I expect Lakers to get a win tonight.

SPOILER ALERT

Lakers will lead the game up until mid-way through the 3rd quarter. Then they will mentally collapse, and Denver will take over from there.

Denver is getting a point and a half tonight on the betting line.

For game 1 and game 2, it’s quite obvious that Lakers can beat Nuggets. It’s just something psychological need to be overcome. Let’s go Lakers! Trust in yourself!!

gut feeling we're gonna start the 1st quarter slow.

Darvin Ham says Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood remain day-to-day and the team will have an update on them tomorrow for Game 4.

If we can win 2 quarters or 3 quarters, I see no reason why we can’t win it finally. It’s just about how tough we play throughout the whole game.

I think it's well beyond psychological at this point even though that's part of it.. Our 2 Stars are clearly getting older and especially Bron is just not capable of playing heavy minutes and still take over late in the 4th as he looks completely gassed with little rest.. We have nobody else that can take over outside of a game here or there and AD just isn't that type of player imo he's way more Gasol then a Kobe or Bron.. This has happened literally 6 games in a row now where the Nuggets just toy with us for the first 3 or so Quarters and then take us out in the 4th.

You see Jokic just kind of hanging out and suddenly he realizes the Nuggets need some baskets and he hits 4-5 shots in a row like it's absolutely nothing. I see it as a literal complete 180 from your view and the Nuggets are just playing with there food much like the Shaq/Kobe Lakers used to do in the earlier rounds where some would get tricked thinking they were at the same level until they flipped the switch.

It's great to have hope but the Nuggets are just clearly a significantly better team across the board. All I want is at least a single win so we don't get swept two Years in a row by the same team.[/quote]

I predict.....that someone other than Prince will score at least 1 point off the bench.

Alright boys. Lakers island is pretty empty. Only the true believers are left.

Grab any seat you want. Relax. And lets root for the comeback to start tonight.
