I was completely shocked he shot that 3 when he had Murray alone on him again. Murray can't hang with him on a good day, much less with 5 fouls. Thought for sure he was going to take him to the rim again.

Great game 1 tho, hopefully this is a glimpse of what the entire series will look like.

Pretty sure this dude is the biggest idiot in sports talk, and I don't understand how he got there. He's retarded Skip Bayless.

I didn't like that shot. Should have attacked down 3. Lebron will hunt Jamal just like he hunted Curry in the last series. That's why I was surprised he took that shot.

Still think Lakers will win this series but their margin of error is a lot lower than it was against Memphis and Warriors. Nuggets are legit contenders.

Can't play Schroeder and Russel together both are terrible defensively. Give Vanderbilt more minutes on Murray.

Have you watched the Lakers these playoffs? Schroeder has been great defensively. Schroeder was the one that wanted Ham to let him go over the screens and when he was allowed to it bothered Murray more.

Denver made some lucky shots and shot a ridiculous percentage that they won't do again. I think Lakers will be ok and win in 6. Take the game tomorrow.

Keep pounding the paint. They have no shot blocking.
