Schroder plays great pressure defense, I'm taking him over DLo whenever Murray is in the game. DLo deserved his benching tonight. Rui and AD basically have to match their minutes to Jokic and run this scheme until Denver makes an adjustment. I am also not a fan of Reaves guarding MPJ, that's going to kill us eventually, he's not Jordan Poole, he's going to take the game over if they let him.

Nice adjustments by the Lakers. Moving Rui on Joker and allowing AD to play free safety worked well. That's where AD is strongest, as a help defender. It completely took Jokic out of the game, he vanished in the 4th quarter.

This series is going to be a great one.

Who Da fck is Poole lol, he ain’t Shyt glad Draymon get his azz when he was feeling himself chucking bricks n not playing defense. Draymon is 10 times winner than Poole and his brick laying azz!!

Also Fck you long hair DLo fck!!! Cut that hair off and focus on Playing Defense for the Chip!!!! Step up!!!!! Muscle down those Nuggets guards!

Yeah Nuggets are a huge team! I’ve been saying since 2020, it was Dwight Howard big azz shoulder get Jokic in foul trouble 4 fouls starting 3rd quarter many games!!

The thing everyone is missing, Ham should have started the game with this, no fucking excuses.

We knew Lakers needed to match them with Vando and Rui but he goes small? Lakers get down 20 and Ham still starts that lineup 2nd half?

Vando slowed down Ja and Curry, why wasn't he on JM?

It’s ok it is wat it is. Maybe Vendobilt picked up too many fouls?

In the bubble Lakers lost game 1 Portland, lost game 1 rockets. 3-1 Nuggets n 3-1 heat n won the Chip

I’ll be so pissed if they don’t beat Nuggets or east team n win this Chip!

We did this Bull shit 3 Guard lineup before the Trade deadline and we were a 12th seed. Lakers were out rebounded by 20 in the first half, not shit, when we have 3 Guards out there running around. Ham should have started Dlo, Reaves, Vando, Bron, and AD. <---Best Defense in the league. That's our starting lineup post trade deadline and Playoffs. We didn't have the best Defense and Record Post trade deadline because we ran a 3 guard lineup. Nuggets have Joke 6'11'', MPJ 6'10'', and AG 6'8'' and Ham thinks he should go smaller than our usual starting lineup?

Being only down 5 late in the 4th Q really hurts because Hams dumbass starting lineup, we went down 20 asap and down 15 after the 2nd half. He made the correct adjustments in game but it took 4Qs to figure it out and I was calling for Rui on Joker 3 days ago. If we just played our normal starting 5 I think we could have stolen this game.

Game 2 better win!!! Thursday night 1-1!!

Get that rest now and play defense n rebounding!

Fck that DLo and Schroeder and Reaves line up, nobody making shots and nobody playing defense!!

Bamba and Thompson unplayable holy Shyt!!!! Can’t do what Dwight Howard was doing, 12 point 12 rebounds 3 Blocks off the bench in 20 minutes

What's Scam Hams Starting lineup tonight?

Curious if we put Rui on Joker and have AD roam Free Safety are they going to counter it by playing Jeff Green who can shoot the 3 or have AG be the Screener in Pick and Roll.

Chess match between the coaches starts soon
