Series Thread: 1st Round: 2) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers

[Duffman]

Another sub par quarter from Denver but hey being down 5 is better than double digits so thats progress.

 

[Wamu]

The Lakers need to feed AD the ball.

No they don't.

 

[Retroram52]

Hayes and Vincent still have not scored.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers lead is three and the Nuggies are warming-up.

 

[Retroram52]

James leads all Lakers Scorers.

 

[Retroram52]

Ya ain't scoring, Ham pulls your ass. Hayes out, AD in.

 

[Retroram52]

James leads all scorers, Period.

 

[thunderc]

James leads all scorers, Period.

Except for Wilt

 

[Retroram52]

Lead has ballooned to 11. Looks like Game 1 all over again.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

These continual slow starts won't cut it against the younger Wolves...

 

[bksballer89]

Win the 3rd and cancun is put on hold for a few more days

 

[Retroram52]

Thirteen point lead at the half. Let's see if the Lakers have decided to attenuate the pattern of the last three games in the Second Half or succumb to the Sweep!

So they need to attenuate not playing like shit in the 3rd?

 

[Retroram52]

Dude, that is what the word attenuate means in this context.

 

[Retroram52]

Here we go!

 

[Duffman]

Well I get back from a 45 minute drive and see Denver decided to phone it in tonight. A sweep was too much to ask for but these slow starts are gonna come back to bite Denver sooner or later. Blowing a 3-0 lead if it gets to that is inexcusable.

 

[Duffman]

Also this is the 4th game in a row where Denver has shot like garbage from 3. If they make it to Minnesota that shit is not gonna fly.

 

[Retroram52]

The pattern has changed. The Lakers did not forget how to play basketball this Quarter against the Nuggets. They made shots while the Nuggets were missing alot to start the Third. They went to AD down-low quite often.

Wolves in 4

 

[Retroram52]

I question why Ham does this: Taking out DRuss and Hachimura who are just starting to hit jumpers and replace them a guy like Vincent who has not scored and is ofer? Let the starters in for another two to three minutes to assure the Lakers secure the Third Quarter.
