Man, A Gordon is . 24pts 12reb. 12-16 FGA. 2 dimes. The third quarter hasn't even finished yet.

LAL giving up way too many easy dunks and offensive rebounds to this guy. 6 off reb 6 def reb. They gotta tighten things up ...

Or they are going to get blown out here.

Gotta give em credit though :)

Not for this Q3.

They had a graphic there on the screen that DEN were 14-19 FGA in Q3 before missing their last 2-3 shots. Way too many easy hoops at the rim.

I was looking at their shot chart. Half of those made 14 shots were at the rim.

LA's shot chart isn't much better. They were 10-18 at that point when the game graphic came on the screen late in Q3. 8 of theirs were right at the hoop. Only made 2 shots outside of the paint all quarter.

Lakers not even winning the non jokic minutes here. I was hoping I would get to go to another game against lakers here in Denver but not looking likely

The Lakers are crying so hard at the refs because they have no other way to beat Denver otherwise  :laugh:

That was such a Magic Johnson move by LeBron. Done in twice now in the last few minutes. Dribbling up court, moves into a post up 20 feet out with ball side of the court cleared out, hard spin baseline and the layup. Using his size well.

I like LAL going with Taureen Prince here instead of Hachimura. I can't get over how reluctant Hachimura has been to look for his own offense in this series. Guy is a scorer. Whole career he has been gunner. This series he has been afraid to shoot.

Great performance by Denver.

A balanced attack tonight. All 4 of their big guns showed up tonight. A Gordon has 24pts 14reb 3ast, Jokic has 16pts 11reb 9ast, MPJ has 18pts 7reb 3ast, J Murray has 22pts 8ast.

Tough to beat when all 4 of their big guns have strong games.

It was like a 4 on 3 at half time (DEN Big 4 vs LAL's 3). Since then A Reaves has cooled off. It has been a 4 on 2 since.

Kinda feel sorry for AD. He has played great. Just hasn't gotten enough help from his teammates. 31pts 12reb. 13-21 FGA.

Oh wow, they brought D-Lo back in. That is a surprise.

Russell had no good games 0-4 last post-season against DEN. This season he has had 1 good game out of 3. So 1 good game out of 7. Nobody can trust this guy in a playoff series. This has been his MO throughout his career. Inconsistent and unreliable.

LA giving up. Walking back on D after missed shots.

They don't believe anymore.

Embiid finished with 50pts on 13-19 FGA 19-21 FTA.

Amazing efficiency.

That's crazy to have more free throw attempts than field goal attempts when you nearly have 20 field goal attempts. Got that favorable home whistle, eh?
You're the same old broken record playing the same lame song.  Embiid shot 6 of those FTAs in the last 1:10 left when the Knicks were fouling while trying to create steals to catchup.  Another 3 FTAs came on a 3-point shot.  However, it would be fitting for the Sixers to get some favorable home whistles considering the blown ref calls/no-calls in the last 2 minutes of game 2 cost them that game.

Lakers are donezo.

LBJ’s body language says it all.

MPJ has 10 rebs now. Jokic and A Gordon both have 14reb apiece. 38 rebounds for Denver's starting backcourt. They have dominated this game on the boards. DEN outrebounded LA 48-35.

AD has 15reb. Nobody else has more than 5 (Bron).

It was strange how quickly that happened. LeBron hit a 3 (at 6min to make it an 8pt game) and I was impressed at how he was staying focused and keeping on the fight. Leading the charge for his team. Then 2-3 bad possessions and he just completely gave up on the game. Along with the rest of the team.
