Insane to say after one game.

Until the Lakers beat the Nuggets 4 times in April or May, we not making wild declarations like this.
He’s gotta get views and engagement. I don’t like it cause if we lose again we’re gonna get trolled to oblivion. But it is what it is

I remember when the spurs apparently solved how to defend the eventual 72-10 warriors back in 2016. But we all knew it would've been different if it was a 7 game series.

1 game don't mean jack

Those are some disgusting lineups that allow that to work. Any respectable shooting cooks. Obviously it’s good strategy for their lack of shooting tho. Westbrook, Braun, and Gordon all on the court :huhldup:no shyt they’ll concede 3s to essentially double/triple/keep contact at all times
The three of them went 8-17 from three though. They may have had a chance if they shot more. They kept forcing it to Jokic and getting turnovers is why they lost.

Lakeshow in shambles.

Ben Taylor out there throwing yall a bone after a great victory.
And yall still refuse to give Lebron or JJ Red ick any credit.

Are you folks incapable of enjoying ANYTHING?

:mjgrin:

I’m talking about the strategy itself not the result. Every team is living with that over a series. If you get sent home by Russ and AG shooting you out the gym, you shake their hands and tell them good luck next series.
