    The only way the Fakers win this series is if it is rigged in their favor, which it will be. The NBA wants Lebron to go out on a high note. The only reason they are even in the playoffs is their historic advantage at the FT line.

    I hope the Lakers get swept, losing by 40 points every game.

    Well, the refs can only do so much.

    It might be Jover for LeBron's LAL career. It looks like his next best bet is go to another contender where he can just be a supporting piece like Cleveland, OKC or even Miami.

    goble’s a lightweight, next game silver rolls out foster brothers. 19-6 FT Disparity wasn’t sufficient but maybe something more along the lines of 36-7 will be. shhit just got real :D

    LeBron and AD both played over 40 minutes each, and had really good statlines. The FT disparity was 19 to 6 in favor of LA.

    And the Lakers STILL lost by double digits.

    Felt like the Nuggets treated this as an appetizer. DeAndre Jordan even saw the floor tonight, which is wild.

    Father Time may have bit LeBron tonight. All the hard minutes he's had to play since the ASB trying to escape the play-in round, plus 41 more mins in a tight 7th-seed game against the Pels. That would be hard for anyone, but he's 39 years-old.

    Once the Nuggets took control in the 3rd quarter, LeBron's lack of pep in the 4th quarter doomed the Lakers chances.

    39 years old playing at altitude for 40+ minutes? Dude was gassed by the end of the 3rd. He's going to be completely worn down by game 4.

    You can’t just look at free throws and say the refs helped one team. In what was probably the most rigged game in nba history, the rockets outshot the warriors 22-14. More than 50% more FTA
