Nah, Russell actually plays well and we win this game
Nigga still in Cabo
why did gabe get no playing time in the second half
D Lo really f***ing himself money wise if he does this again
you'd think that'd be incentive to ball out
why did gabe get no playing time in the second half
Because Darvin was committed to playing DâLo who wasnât doing anything lmao
god we lost by double digits with jamal actually having a regular night
this going to get so ugly
Trae wouldnât go 1-9

Darvin Ham says he wasnât going to bench DâAngelo Russell because of one poor shooting performance. He noted that Russell helped LA get to this point and shot well recently against New Orleans.
Trae wouldnât go 1-9
5'11 trae young guarding 6'5 jamal
Darvin Ham: âYou canât beat yourself. We got to step up.â
He pointed out the Nuggetsâ production on the offensive glass as an area the Lakers needed to execute better.
Says the Lakers need to be âmore disciplined, more perfect.
Good game almost had em, lets play like that 1st half all game on monday.
Darvin Ham on not overreacting to losing Game 1: âI truly believe this going to be a hard-fought series. ⌠Itâs a matter of going back to the drawing board.â
Darvin Ham says the Lakers have a couple more adjustments theyâre going to throw at Nikola Jokic. He added the Lakers didnât want to use all of their adjustments in Game 1.
every AD 3 made me lose a bit of sanity
Because Darvin was committed to playing DâLo who wasnât doing anything lmao
My hope was to bench DLO for Gabe in the playoffs when he's having an off game like this
Ham doesn't wanna ruin his confidence, given everything that happened this season
But the least he could've done is limit his minutes.
41 mins was too much.
Rui 4 fga wtf
10 of dlos fgas shouldve gone to rui
not that i think it was a complete difference maker but Taurean being in a majority of that 4th over Rui was insane, especially as we were getting out muscled and out rebounded at times
you saw that three guard lineup to start the 4th ?
Classic Ham

LeBron on the 15 offensive rebounds allowed to Denver:
âItâs a big team. They have a big front court. We just have to do a better job of trying to get hits and collectively defensive rebound.â
He credited Aaron Gordon specifically (6 off. boards).
LeBron James says the Lakers know they don't have much room for error against the Nuggets and they need to execute, make shots, defend and not give them extra possessions.
Austin Reaves on the Lakers' rebounding struggles:
"They're a physical team with Jokic and AG down there, two very good offensive rebounders. And they spread it out for a lot of 3s so a lot of those offensive rebounds come out long. So you just got to be ready to contest and kind of rebound your area outside of that. We just got to be better in that aspect."
