    Just saw the score. Man, I'm glad I didn't watch it with the Lakers winning again. I'm just not seeing Denver pull off another comeback round, even though I'd absolutely love it. Looks like LeBron and Davis dominated them on rebounds and blocks. Dang I wish we had some bigs like that. Ugh.

    95 - 91 lakers 4:59 left in the game.

    Jokic proceeds to score the last 12 points for the nuggets.

    Ad proceeds to score the last 10 for the lakers.

    Talk about two big man making the clutch plays for their team.

    Didn't watch the game, box score says LeBron had a good game, though. I'll have to watch Undisputed to see what LeBron slander Skip will come up with to troll Shannon.

    That was funny on the last AD shot. That one white Denver defender dude who was on AD initially like ran over to where his teammate was basically blocked in a pick situation and he was like pointing at a running AD that he needed to switch to cover AD. Meanwhile, AD just ran over to the 3 point line wide open, received the inbound bounce pass, and had a wide open shot. Jovic tried to close but was late and AD got off basically a wide open look/shot.

    My question is what the hell was the white Denver defender dude doing trying to get his teammate to switch to cover AD when it was obviously not going to happen? He should have run after AD. Even if the picked Denver teammate missed his switch assignment and/or got hung up, it's not like you can go to him and point to switch in real-time and still make the defensive play. LOL. Better to just go after AD than let him run free.

    Denver blew that last defensive play. Nobody was even really close to AD. That was funny.

    Yeah, I don't hate the lakers or any team for that matter. Don't really care who wins, just rooting for competitive, entertaining and great basketball. So that finish was ideal for me.

    He wasn't good in the 2nd half. He fell in love the 3.

    its all about matchups. It looks like the 3 remaining teams matchup very poorly vs the Lakers. Bucks and Clippers would've given the Lakers problems and they're home now

    Couldn’t be he scored 20 in the 1st half. Dominant
    He just was a facilitator in the 2nd. I guess he was trying to AD going because he didn’t play well in the 1st. So I guess Bron knew what he was doing because we know what happened at the buzzer lol

    Wow, looks really bad in the clip I just watched. Plumlee looks like a bad AI defender on 2K.

    It's a whole lot easier being #2 than the guy all the pressure and attention is on. Even in that play he got a wide open look because the defender was concerned about LeBron.

    It looks like Plumlee was going to switch to LeBron and Grant switch to Davis? I would like to hear Malone's response to what the hell happened on that play.

    Nevermind on my previous post as it looks like the players themselves sabotaged the defense. Those two are not future coaching material.

    He's going to make LeBron jealous.
