I think lebron is just old/injured. If he was even remotely close to how he was few years ago, lakers win this game easily. He should stop shooting threes.
I think it's fatigue. He took 4 consecutive threes in the 4th quarter rather than attempt to run a play. Players tend to settle for those shots (even when they're struggling) when they're tired.
Lakers need to win the next 3 to have a chance in my opinion.
He's playing like a superstar in these playoffs after playing like a superstar in the bubble
I've got the league pass on nba.com which I can't recommend enough, you get every single game (even from previous seasons), great quality and it's only €15.
That's from the Lakers POV, I'm sure a Nuggets would say if Murray shot decently in the first 3 quarters then the story would also be different
Boston slowing down Embiid and the Lakers slowing him down are so different. Jokic has a lot better basketball IQ
And you can watch it whenever you like, either the full game or 35-40 min highlight versions (with all of the fat taken out), without the score ruined. Great product.
Mark Jackson's take on the first "foul" is wild.
true, but the strategy is the same. Boston went with 2 bigs, one on him and one to help, lakers are going big with Vanderbilt/Rui/LeBron on Jokic and AD as help, both trying to double at every oppprtunity or funnel him to the help
that is embarrassing.Just finished my bachelor studies, only working a few hours at university as teaching assistant right now and preparing myself for my master studies. So for me the perfect timing and probably the only time i can ever watch the NBA playoffs live. But the gamepass option that somebody wrote about sounds very nice! Will probably buy it for next year.
Yea but tbh, no amount of wins can change my views of him, as long they buy into his 3 liners, Denver might see some success but he is Jose Mourihno without tactical knowledge of the game. Him and JG = JM and Matic (or any other non performing veteran), triggering my PTSD.You did win by the way.
Better supporting cast for Jokic too. You're right on the tactical adjustment needed
Having Jokic 12 assist is not slowing him down, their win % when he has triple double is sky high. There is a reason why most saying how him being a scorer only increases chances for Denver to lose, you close lanes towards others = less opportunities to make them better.
I pick and choose the games I think are worth staying up for. Sometimes I just happen to be awake anyway so I'll watch the first half or so. A game 7 I probably would stay up for but only if tip off is 12am-1am. Any game that starts after 1am I typically don't bother with unless it's a title clincher in the finals.
He's getting those assists anyways, and we're relying on Hachimura and Reaves to produce like superstars to hang. We're not the Suns, Jokic scoring 50 isn't good for us we don't have two guys who can score 40 each
Do you need to sign up with a VPN? Sounds great - will take a look.
ESPN crew was just dog shit whole game, they couldnt keep their masks up.Mark Jackson's take on the first "foul" is wild.
No VPN needed, it's available pretty much world wide.
The opposite - works better in the UK than in the US.
Why would anyone want to torture themselves by watching a game of basketball live?

Get where are you coming from but they do have one of two top performers in these playoffs and by far the best coach. I mean, even last season they were 1 game away from the finals.
I don't think it's talked about enoughWhat's the proper way to watch games? Highlights are terrible for basketball I find. You don't get a feel for the shift in momentum so you're just watching them get buckets and the score go up a bit.
This. Polar opposite of football where extended highlights are decent. They’re pointless for Bball
Why?
People forget that they have the best coach in the league by some distance.
