[@Mektek19]

[@mrBassArte]

I watched EVERY major NBA show after the game, and EVERYONE of them speaks 95% about the Lakers, how they were unlucky, this and that, and almost 0% of the time about the MONSTER triple-double of Jokic and winning shot, killer mentality of Murray. They speak MORE about Hachimura and Reaves than Jamal and Joker. All these years of this rivalry about how the Lakers LOSE, none about HOW the Nuggets WON! Shame on all media... so unprofessional. I get it, small market VS big one, but come on, this is comical!

[@argc]

I really really hate that San Antonio win over Denver. I was rooting for the Nuggets for the no.1 seed, the Spurs for a brighter future, and the Lakers for a 2nd round appearance, and that game single handedly ruined everything. Nuggets got dragged down from the 1st seed to the 2nd seed, Spurs draft odds went from 3rd highest to 5th highest, and Lakers second round hopes got demolished given that they were gonna win the play in game and end up as the 7th seed to face the 2nd seed Nuggets. If that Spurs game had gone in favor of Nuggets, I would have been so much happier. Now I need to see either OKC or New Orleans in the second round which was never something that I wanted.

[@opprentice]

Espn keep mentioning vando back game 3 but is there anything to that? Only person I heard back was CW

[@BXMarathoner26]

I think this applies to The Sixers for any of: Cavs, Bucks, Magic, Pacers, Heat. They would beat all those teams. Celtics are better and Knicks are up 2-0 on them after Two Dog fight playoff games. Sometimes it's just the draw that helps. Wolves, Clips and Mavs i think would challenge Lakers though.

[@Smallvillefreak]

I don’t care if the Lakers would’ve beaten any other team. If they avoid the Nuggets and lose again in the Conference Finals, then that’s fool’s gold that the front office would use to not make necessary changes.
