    Haven't watched, but box score says the highly effective Millsap picked up two fouls in as many minutes.

    Who decided an extended Kyle Kuzma promo was what NBA fans want to see during game breaks?

    First he's mic'd up, then we have to watch him talk about clothes... I mean come on NBA, stop shoving these mediocre players down our throats just because they are Lakers.

    AD came out on fire and dwight grabbing 4 boards and 4 putbacks is the difference to start the game.

    Murray doing a great job to answer AD, but nuggets need to tighten their defense if they expect to keep it close and have a chance at the end.

    What a dunk-turned-into-twisted layup by Murray! Wow!

    How come we never got this Dwight Howard for more than one quarter in the playoffs?

    Howard playing like prime Dwight without the defense.

    Tough to say how this one will go. Denver shot really well and they're still down 5. Millsap played only 7 minutes because of foul trouble.

    AD started off hot and then cooled off a bit.

    LA only being up 5 doesn't bode well for them.

    Seriously impressed with vogel these playoffs. He's made lineup adjustments multiple times and done so quickly and decisively with each situation.

    The rockets series he saw that dwight and javelle were ineffective after 1 game, so he not only took them out of the starting lineup, he removed them from the rotation!

    Against the nuggets, after dwight shows some success versus jokic, vogel starts dwight in the 2nd half instead of javelle in game 3. Then moved him to the starting lineup in game 4... And its proving to be a brilliant move. I didn't even mentioned him switching to a zone in the 2nd half of game 3.

    Didn't know much about vogel prior to these two series but his adjustments and the moments of him coaching his players have been impressive.

    Millsap getting victimised by the refs. Wonder if the Lakers' crying to Silver has anything to do with that? hmmm

    RR hitting big shot after big shot for the Lakers throughout the playoffs. Damn.

    MPJ has that JR Smith feel.

    Can catch fire at any time, but BBIQ leaves a bit to be desired.

    He's definitely smarter than JR.
