[AldoTrapani]

Man Lakers are not that impressive whatsover. Their going to struggle bad in the later rounds

 

[Tince]

Are the coaches not talking to Nurk about this soft stuff?

They certainly are, as well as his teammates.

 

[beast blazer]

Nurk has blown so many buckets inside

 

[James lamphear]

There you go Nurk take strong big take strong.

 

[B-Roy]

More of that, Nurk. Stop those soft flip shots

The flip shot is like a bad habit. It just keeps coming back.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Their scrubs go cold and we pull this out. Just like we planned. Make it so!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

They certainly are, as well as his teammates.

I hope the hell they are!

 

[Titan]

That’s the Nurk I know

 

[wizenheimer]

speaking of Nurkic: the last time he faced AD in the playoffs he got significantly outplayed

 

[Darkwebs]

The bball IQ of Smith can save us

 

[AldoTrapani]

Melo making those shots in the 3rd is gonna screw us. Now he’s tunnel vision addicted to the mid ranger

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Are Nurk and Whiteside their own worst enemies?

 

[B-Roy]

Thank you JR

 

[AldoTrapani]

Rebounding lol

 

[crandc]

I guess it's not supposed to be easy.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurkic is terrible get that guy out of this game fuck

he clearly does not want to play

 

[Serbian]

Im sorry. But nurkic is trash. Wtf

 

[Dom McBlazer]

We deserve to lose this game.

 

[B-Roy]

Reset the possession Nurk come on...

 

[VenomXL]

We look exhausted. Dealing with the physicality of the Lakers with how hard they had to work to even get in is really showing up.

 

[Tince]

speaking of Nurkic: the last time he faced AD in the playoffs he got significantly outplayed

AD is significantly better.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Not a great time for Nurk to play awful.

 

[Serbian]

My biggest problem is how. How . How do the lakers get so many offense rebounds???? How is that possible??? How!!!!!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We look tired

 

[PCmor7]

Olshey fucked up by not signing a veteran backup PG to start the season.

Or even when we lost Ariza coming into the bubble. He had another chance.

We signed the G-League guy who never saw the floor.

 

[James lamphear]

Nurk has other things on his mind like his family I don't blame him. The real Nurk is guy that has a lot energy just don't see right now.

 

[MickZagger]

This game is far from over. Lillard needs to attack more. Then late in the quarter go after the 3

 

[illmatic99]

Need dame to go super nova. Don't think it's happening against this defense

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Melo making those shots in the 3rd is gonna screw us. Now he’s tunnel vision addicted to the mid ranger

Without him, we’d be dead.

For one thing; they are a lot longer overall.
