2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

I actually bet on the Lakers to win, but have to wonder, Lakers started well, had a great first half and lead at halftime against the Nuggets. Will 12th time be the charm? 

Wow, 14 point deficit is now quickly just 7... this Nugs team is relentless

[Who]

Only getting to tune in now.

Nice to see LAL have some balance. Main 4 guys with 15-23pts apiece. Two more guys with 9 each. Balance.

Looks like Lakers got this on the bag. Even the officials are helping them avoid sweep.

This is my preemptive the lakers have not figured anything out statement

Lakers prevented a sweep. Could they be the first team in NBA history to come back up from 0-3 and win a series? They did hang close with the Nuggets in the first three games esp in the first half of each game.

No. Nuggets way too good to lose this series…lakers super scary in that scenario if they did somehow win this series.

LAL needed that Bron hoop. Denver got it within 12. Still in the balance. Job not done yet.

LeBron finishing them off. 3 big hoops over final minutes to hold off DEN's final push.

True. Predicted Nuggets in 6. I think LAL can steal one in Denver next game.

Never happy to see the Lakers win, but glad that Denver isn’t infallible. They have come back to win every game until this one

[Who]

Jokic's numbers are ridiculous. 33pts on 10-20 FGA and 11-11 FTA. I think he has at least 3 and-ones so that is 33pts on 24 possessions. Ridiculously efficient. Then he adds 14reb and 14ast. He has only 3 turnovers. That is like a 5:1 AST:TOV ratio.

MPJ with a big game as well. 27pts 11reb. 10-19 FGA.

[Who]

I'd love to see splits on who has held the lead the most in this series. How much game-time has DEN been ahead. How much has LAL been ahead.

[Who]

A Gordon had only 7pts 3reb 4ast in 41min.

[Who]

A Davis with a monster 25pts 23reb 6ast game.

LeBron 30pts 5reb 4ast 3stl but 6 TOs
A Reaves 21pts 6ast
D Russell 21pts 4ast

Hachimura & T Prince with 9pts apiece

[Phantom255x]

The DEN-LAL series should be tied 2-2, but LAL royally gagged away Game 2. That was the one LAL should have stolen on the road.

But I'm not complaining one bit. Nuggets should take Game 5 at home easily. What's crazy is, they are up 3-1 despite Murray honestly being bad in 3 of the games, and every single game the Nuggets start poorly. At some point they need to actually start well right?

I do think it'll be interesting to see how Denver's bench in particular does against the Wolves next round. If Denver does not win the Finals or even reach it, I think a big reason will be because of their bench being thin and not as potent. It definitely cost them today, they stunk it up.
