I don’t promote losing on purpose in the play in, but your chances against the Thunder would’ve looked a lot better, mentally on both sides—OKC seeing you, and vice versa

Guaranteed he does a better job guarding Joker than Rui. There’s already video evidence of it

A guy shooting 30% obviously hurts. Duh
LeBron had 7 TOs. Denver had 4 total.
LeBron and Rui had 9 rebounds. MPJ and Gordon had 19 rebounds.
That doesn’t matter? It was all DLo?

9 games in….you’d think Ham would have brought out all the guns.
Lebron and AD legacy with the Lakers going to be defined as a failure cause of the McNuggets

three point shooting. 27 percent from 3 not gonna cut it.

And just to be fair, I'm not putting it ALL on DLo...
Lebron was 3/6 with 4 turnovers in the 2nd half... and more turnovers than FG's in the 4th.
They aren't beating the University of Denver with those type of numbers, letting alone the defending NBA champs.
But more Jaxson Hayes please LMAO....
On to the next one!

put Bron on Murray some. I don’t care how old he is. It’s the only way. Sacrifice offense of Bron to try and disrupt their offense. If they run a 2 man between Murray and Jokic, you have your main guys playing it.
MPJ, KCP and AG are great system guys. But they are not taking guys off the dribble.
(AR didn’t do terrible on Murray, but need something different)
And no more Rui on Jokic. Stop wasting everybody’s time. If you want to win, AD has to take that challenge all game. And if you’re not going to have him do it. Trade AD in the offseason.

Darvin is basically saying he and the Lakers aren’t a championship team yet because they have beaten themselves 9 straight times against Denver
What was I saying back in October lol…..”if it’s broken, don’t fix it.”
That’s Ham’s motto LOL. Dude still running 3-guard, 1-Big lineups against one of the biggest and longest teams in the league
- 7,676
- 10,631
AD can take on the challenge any time he wants... and for the most part he chooses not to.
So it is what it is.

Y’all say this like it’s his choice
Lebron will always call his own number

Cmon dude, AD can absolutely tell Ham that he wants to guard Joker.
- 37,513

The idea is AD plays Gordon at the wing or corner.
Murray and Joker run a 2man. And AD is supposed to play help to stop the drive or roll. Which inevitably leads to an open 3.
Between you and me. I would much prefer Bron and AD to guard the 2man. And then Rui, DLo and AR can stay home to prevent the weak side cuts.
And if Murray / Jokic beat Bron / AD on defense and they can’t match it on offense, then it doesn’t matter unless one of DLo or AR are scoring 30

With any scheme you have actions that you are trying to take away, but you also have to have some things that you're willing to give up.
The Lakers are dead last in the NBA in 3pt attempts before game, and Denver is 29th. .. so maybe you don't think that they'll shoot them as happily as they did tonight.
Joker was 14/20 inside the paint, and seems like he cooked whoever was guarding him and regardless of if AD was roaming or not.
It's a difficult puzzle to solve, and not like any other team in the league has figured it out either lol that's really why I'm not mad.
If you have to play a perfect game just to beat these guys then that ain't happening.

Lakers were up 12 at Denver. Ham gotta do what it takes to keep that lead. A run was always going to come.
Lebron looks gassed in the playoffs again as he should carrying a team at 39. AD’s 32 didnt mean anything when Joker scored 32.
Dinwiddie doing sprints. Killer DLo hasn’t done jack in the playoffs.
Denver didn’t play a good game. This was a great chance for a steal that didn’t happen

Bottom line, we just dont have enough offense. Only way we win next year is if BOTH Steph and KD comes over lol
