Lakers vs Nuggets, 2/22, Saturday primetime ESPN, game thread

[Trojan 24]

Can't have many minutes without Luka or Austin, JJ will figure it out. He probably already has but has to play the long game

 

[DoubleJ13]

At this point just go for the record

 

[Trojan 24]

#3 can't check Austin

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

This game is fun as hell

 

[chkmeout]

Got locked up right there buddy

 

[Second Chance Lance]

Lakers ain't getting no calls with Luka out there. I think there is a 1 superstar call per team rule. They getting smacked out there.

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

Braun strapped up Luka 2 possessions in a row

#3 can't check Austin

I'm watching this game with my son and he was laughing, looking at Austin treating Lebron like Boobie Gibson. That said, this is Austin and Luka's team.

Man get Westbrook outta there he's awful

 

[MarcP]

Younger bron would have yammed that shyt

 

[UpAndComing]

Russ only effective when Jokic on the floor with him

IMO to combat this he has to be on the ball when Jokic is on the bench

Having Murray be the point guard and Russ off the ball is diabolical on the Nuggets part

 

[WesCrook]

Bobby Bacala lost some weight.

"This is my boy, 'Junior' " Nice touch

 

[Nero Christ]

This defensive scheme by LA has Denver out of sorts

 

[UpAndComing]

Lakers actually defending Jokic very well. It's usually a death wish to double team Jokic, but they are being smart when they double him

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Got damn Luka and LeBron are crazy
