Nuggets have to be the favourite in the Finals at this point.

A cautiously happy moment. So glad to see Lakers go down 3-0. It isn’t over of course - but 3-0 is nice. Hoping for another good night tomorrow.

Nuggets are the best team right now in the playoffs. They are LEGIT and are proving it. 

MASSIVE win for them on the road to basically clinch the series. Almost no one ever wins when playing 5 on 8 against a Lebron team that needs a win, so extra kudos to Denver for hanging in there and winning  :)

I guess Boston and LA will both be eliminated soon. Don’t care who wins between Denver/Miami, just as long as it’s not LA

J Murray 33pts 6ast
Jokic 18pts 6ast
KCP 17pts
B Brown 15pts 5ast

MPJ 11pts 6ast
A Gordon 7pts 4ast


The assists are impressive. 3 guys with 6 assists. 1 guy with 5 assists. Another with 4. 5 guys with 4-6 assists. Team effort.

Jokic finished with 24 and 8. So 6pts and 2 dimes those final few minutes. MPJ 14pts 10reb 6ast. J Murray 37pts, again. Same as he had in game 2.

So 4 guys with 4-6 assists and Jokic with 8. Five guys contribute to get 29 assists. Teamwork.

Id NBA wants ratings then they need Boston to come out of the East

A Reaves has now had 23pts, 22pts and 23pts in the first three games of this series. He has also added 8ast, 5ast and 5ast in those three games. So 22ppg and 6apg. All while shooting very good percentages from the floor.

Joe is going to prove you can reverse fix a game.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Jokic looking LeBron with that drive, spin and dish. I say it a lot but I love MPJ's jumper. So beautiful. I love watching him shoot. I wish he'd shoot more often. Gorgeous shot.
Different shooting motion, but I feel similarly to MPJ's shot as I do Ray Allen's. Just love watching him shoot the ball. It helps when they're being fed by guys like Jokic, LeBron and Rondo

He will be gone from the Lakers for a big payday this summer

It is interesting to think about what type of shape LAL will be in if A Reaves leaves. They don't have a whole lot else going on there.

D Russell has been even more inconsistent than normal which saying something because he is inconsistent even when he is at his best. He just isn't that comfortable sharing the ball with LeBron. He wants more time on the ball. That is not a marriage made in heaven. Yet, it appears the best marriage proposal on the table for both player and team.

But where does the help come from? To go from a lucky playoff run to a legit contender? To replace your 3rd best player? To make the additions on top of that replacement to move forward?

LAL is in trouble if A Reaves leaves.
