Zilch confidence in Murray not throwing this game away

Erm

 

[srobbo]

OMFG

 

[Slysh]

This is just a replay of last year series, Lakers matching the Nuggets for most of the game but can't close out.

Series over.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahahaha

Peak finish

Go and sweep them Nuggs

That was some shot

 

[DT_35]

Holy mother of ******* god

 

[Nicho50]

Wow you lot bagging Murray out and he goes bang. Lebron missed an "easy" 3 attempt though.

 

[kaiserchief13]

So ever since the overturn of the hit to the face that was called 'marginal' the refs have been all in on Denver. Nuggets fluke their way out of that hitting every low % shot in the 4th quarter

 

[QuietB]

Too good - Murray dominated that quarter after a tough night

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Erm

About time he made a few missed heaps today lol

Always fun seeing the Lakers choke

 

[stewie griffen]

Great game

Lakers got MORE than their fair share of very soft calls to set up the lead.

 

[Memphis]

Lakers bottled that hard.

Oh yeah because getting a few calls in the 1st half is the same as assisting Denver in the 4th quarter of a close game

LOL. If we had 10 challenges you wouldn’t be within single digits

How did they call the finish?

He had 15 minutes to line it up after elbowing someone 40 metres across the floor.

Those have been reversed all season it was a dead set play acting performance by DLo, was there contact sure but going down like a sack of spuds? It’s why I have respect for Lebron/Davis they don’t revert to this

 

[peternorth]

As predicted the lakers would collapse. Murray was always going to come good.

It’ll be a sweep. Lakers need to blow it up and rebuild. Or hope for some afl style assistance

 

[Gift]

Difference is Murray and Jokic took nearly every shot with 5 mins left. Whereas for the Lakers it was Lebron and Reeves... Shoulda been all Lebron with a sprinkle of Davis in the clutch

Including free throws Nuggets made their last 10 shots. Lakers 5-5. That is the game. 5-5 not great, but 10-0 is not normal.

 

[srobbo]

That’s the series done right there, cos LA aren’t going to get a better chance of winning in Denver than the position they got themselves into tonight.

What a choke job.

 

[peternorth]

Horrible. Just terrible by the lakers. They’ll be losing sleep on that for years to come. They must feel like they’re cursed.

Although how was AD become a non factor in the second half? Just dumb coaching, dumb players and dumb franchise.

 

[brutus76]

LOL Flakers - how do you lose THAT?

 

[DT_35]

I feel like we just took the Lakers best punch. This team is incredible man

If they can’t win when leading by 20 with Murray playing the worst 3/4 of his life (he was awesome in the 4th) you probably aren’t winning let’s be real. Denver were good and MPJ had a very underrated game thought Gordon was very good too took Davis out of the game in the second half
