Lake Show did what it had to do I give them full credit tonight. #24 stepped up big again tonight. Denver on the other hand deserved to lose. JR Smith played like garbage, Billups is off, and Melo vanished in the 2nd half. The Nuggs will have to win again in LA to win this series. Thats why I think this one is just about over.

one thing for sure...this playoff season has blessed with a lot of great basketball!!!

One thing I'd like to see change a little though, is a crackdown on all these moving screans....every team does it and get's away with it though, but I'd like to see more blocking calls made on these!

You don't rebound, you don't make free throws, you deserve to lose. Melo was 0-10 at one point but the Nuggets still crashed the boards. Couple of nice double doubles in there by the Nugs.

honestly I haven't seen LA play this uninspired for the entire Denver series

everybody besides Kobe, maybe Gasol as well played collectively awful tonight.

The way the Nuggets have been able to get the rebounds like they have, I just saw one Nugget beat 3 Lakers surrounding him for a rebound.

Meh, apparently JR Smith thought this was game 7. Showboating late in front of the Laker bench ain't the brightest.

Phil Jackson's gonna rip some asses to get this team back on the right track for game 5.

We're at home, that game is even more crucial than this one was.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
