I can handle losing, we we should have won at least 2 games.
We beat ourselves.
We lost for a variety of reasons, but mostly because Denver is better.
Not by much. Every game could
Have gone either way. It’s the blown leads that will haunt us.
Ok but if we keep blowing leads it’s hard to argue they aren’t a better team. In our last 13 games against them we’ve one once. It’s pretty clear they’re just better than us. _________________ 14-5-3-12

Thank you LeBron for the great effort
And AD. Played although clearly in pain and had a tremendous series really he hurt Joker's feelings many a time during this series. In fact I love Jokic but he did not have it tonight.
IG was just being polite so he can lineups those trade ideas

If you can't do simple things like freaking rebound the ball you don't deserve to win. We gave up 2 offensive rebounds in closing minutes
Yep Gordon digging out some of those loose ball offensive rebounds to set up wide open 3s from Porter and Murray was the difference
I was debating Gordon or Randle in the draft but was fine with Julius. Pelinka probably would have just pissed Gordon away. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
A hell of a team we could have beaten. And if not for certain decisions we'd just be going back to Los Angeles down 3-2 right now. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

AR and Lebron the only 2 guys on the team not afraid of taking shots in crunch time. AD with 11 FG attempts? Got out hustled for loose balls and I counted AT LEAST 3 broken plays that ended up in a 3 pointer for Denver. 9 points total.
We take away HALF of Denver's hustle points this series and we sweep them.

Gabe Vincent being injured all season and likely 3-4 weeks away from being anything getting minutes over Christie was a mistake of Ham's as well. The defense never worried about him from three. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Who
I'm guessing Ham. Sounds like the type of thing he would say.
Mike Malone said “Darvin Ham is a hell of a coach.” Almost have to wonder if he’s mocking him. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Dumbasses were helping double jokic and leaving mpj wide open
Rui was helping off his shooter in situations no help was needed constantly leaving them wide open.
It's what my coach would call "fake defense". You're trying to look like you're helping but you're not actually doing the things that would help. Like diving into the paint where two people already are and leaving your man wide open for three.
The fake defense is "I was hustling trying to help on D"
The real defense is "They got two down there, I gotta stay on my man or get ready for a pass this way."
My coach used to lose his mind at people playing fake defense, when you establish a culture that it doesn't fly, players will stop doing it. Ham never did. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

We should have had a time out at the end the refs screwed this one up
Lakers shouldn’t have even won that challenge. AD was wrapping Jokic up on the drive. There was def a foul on the drive but since they didn’t call it they let the Lakers have the ball on the block which was probably correct
They didnt call the foul on the initial contact, and the last contact was made with Jokic barreling into AD and still no whistle. The foul was on the all-ball AD had when Jokic lost control of it...
My guess is Ham did the challenge not knowing he would lose his timeout if unsuccessful because most of the series he has been keeping them in his pocket all series
