The Indy Talks To Himself (NBA) Thread.

And then blew not one, not two, but THREE straight layups on a single [uck fay]ing possession.

They might need to pull him. He's such a zero on offense right now.

 

Lakers might be the lowest IQ team on the planet.

Back to back possessions where they got a Nuggets defender in the air. They pass out of one, so no shooting foul. They fail to shoot the ball on the other, so no shooting foul. 4 FT's just down the drain.

And they gave up a wide open 3 to Jamal Murray in between.

 

HOT TAKE:

With a hobbled/limited Jamal Murray and an injured KCP, the Lakers are a better team than Denver.

 

Bron & AD: 7/10 (70%)

Rest of Lakers: 5/21 (24%)

Rob Pelinka is a [uck fay]ing terrorist.

 

Lakers on a 12-0 run. Bet you can't guess how it ended.

(Foul on a late shot clock 3-pointer)

 

Announcer: "That was a foul" (against Jokic on a LeBron layup)

@Ssmiff : "No it wasn't! LeBron only goes for dunks off 1 foot, and nobody tries to stop those!"

 

I'll say this - good on the Lakers for not going at KCP when he came back in and was CLEARLY hobbled with an ankle. That's a class [uck fay]ing move on their part, and it's probably because of his history with the team and especially LeBron.

But at this point, they better keep him out for the game. Lakers gotta go at him if they bring him back in.

 

AD down, writhing in pain, literally after just getting bumped into. Hard to see how that could have actually hurt him, but the reaction looked really bad.

Dude really is made of glass. Not intended as a knock - he just gets hurt easily.

 

Did he just fake that injury to get the team a rest? Altitude and all, right? Hard to understand just 1 minute out of halftime, so probably not.

 

2nd defensive 3 seconds technical of the night, 1 for each team. Weird thing to focus on, refs.

 

MPJ jumping a full 2 feet forward into AD for ANOTHER foul on a 3 pointer (3rd of the night).

 

Announcer: “What a turnaround by the Nuggets here in the 3rd quarter!”

AD got injured at the 11 minute mark and couldn’t lift his arm above his head, dumbass. Everyone with a functioning brain can see that’s been the difference.

 

Lakers perimeter defense is a [uck fay]ing turnstile right now, and Jarred Vanderbilt can’t buy a [uck fay]ing minute. [uck fay]ing Darvin Ham, man.

 

Feels like all those extra minutes from Bron while AD was out are gonna come back to bite them. Hes looking gassed.

 

Darvin [uck fay]ing Ham with ONE [uck fay]ing timeout left with 3 minutes left in the game. This [uck fay]ing clown.

 

Another Lakers challenge. Another corrected call.

2 timeouts wasted on refs not doing their job.

 

That was the [uck fay]ing game right there. Tons of contact on the LeBron drive. No and-1 given.

Then Aaron Gordon goes over the back for the offensive board. No call. Denver 3.

Joke.

 

Hats off to Jamal Murray for yet another game winner. Hell of a [uck fay]ing shot. Dude is the [uck fay]ing man.

But it’s complete and utter bull shit that the Lakers didn’t have a timeout left to advance the ball with 3.6 seconds left because they had to use their last one to do the refs’ jobs for them via challenge.

 

Chuck and Kenny rightfully calling out an obviously stupid rule.

"Why should I be punished for you making a mistake?"
