Who's the cat Playing in D-lo's body...?

 

[tlance]

Nice block...

LeBron playing D and DLo hitting shots.

Both things the Lakers need to have a chance.

Suns/timberwolves off tonight? Didn’t they play same day as Lakers? Not saying it’s intentional but interesting. Thunder/pelicans also 2 days off

Dude, it’s a weekday.

They aren’t airing games while the majority of folks are still at work.

They switch it to 3 games max on weekdays.

No grand conspiracy here.

And this has been the formula in round 1 FOREVER lol

There's always 2-3 games on Mon-Fri then on the weekend we get 4 games each day

Playing extended minutes in the playoffs is going to have him fade like that. That and held ball threes.

I am so ready to hire an actual coach this summer. That third quarter needed time outs that led to actual strategy. The Lakers got lazier on offense and heaved threes as a response to the Nuggets run. If only it wasn't almost expected....

Pretty sure they didn't have any timeouts shops.

 

[Vitamike]

Good to see both AR and DLo assertive tonight.

 

[Shanemansj13]

At this point they need to force MPJ to drive and live with the result

lol nah but as I’m looking at the rest of playoff schedule. These teams that are getting the extra day off don’t appear to get the same 1 day off schedule. Not saying it’s some intentional plan.

Yes but we have seen this story before. Hot start and Denver creeps their way back in. Eventually taking over in the 2H. Every game

 

[Vitamike]

He was wide open

 

[trojanfight]

Jokic shoots like Adam Sandler you don’t think any of them have a prayer of going in but they do.

Every first round series get a built in 2 days off 2x. It is random when it happned.

Laker/Nuggets get 2 days off between games 2 and 3 and between games 5 & 6 if the series get that far

Suns/Wolves for examples get 2 days off between games 1 & 2 then again between games 2 & 3. They are on an every other day schedule starting with game 4

Long story short it is much adu about nothing. You can look up every first round series and you will see each series will have 2 days off 2x

 

[Black Adam]

Ok, we lead 1 quarter...

 

[bksballer89]

Ok, we lead 1 quarter...

Fast start but Denver got them where they want IMO

 

[thunderc]

Fast start but Denver got them where they want IMO

If you mean on the court yes
