AROUND the NBA: Lakers Fire Darvin Ham

[Chicagojk]

Knicks are a fun team to watch. Still painful seeing Jalen on another team. Knicks toughness allowed them to overcome two poor Jalen shooting games. They fight!

Hartenstein is making money off these playoffs. Really interesting to see what sized could tract he gets. Can Knicks keep him. Can they pay both big man?

[Chicagojk]

Luka is amazing. Jokic is just better though now. What a joy to watch.

[Chicagojk]

On the other hand, I have no idea what size contract Dinwiddie gets this summer. He may have to search really hard for anything over 5 million

Double-double in the first quarter. Lakers playing the same risky approach that worked in the first half of game one. Giving up the three and doubling Jokic. In the first game the Nuggets eventually found their rhythm and started to make open 3s. When that happens it is game over because it opens up the floor for their off ball actions.

Jokic has a better supporting cast. They are all in sync with each other. Luka will get there though when they put the right players around him. It's a process to build a championship team.

Nuggets need more coaches challenges...

I hope so.  Luka is 4 years younger.  Jokic has mastered winning basketball.  Every thing he does impacts winning.  Almost nothing takes away from that.  Beautiful to watch.  Terrible to play against

[Chicagojk]

Davis is playing great though. Fun to see him try to match Jokic.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Tobias Harris with 7 points and 11 points in the first two games. His perennial playoff choke job continues.

Davis is playing great though.  Fun to see him try to match Jokic.

So is D-Lo. He's on fire from 3.

Davis is pissed he wasn't a finalist for DPOY, so he's going to prove it. He's got a good gripe. He's been fantastic.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Lakers are busting the Nuggets, 59-44 at the half. Let's see if they can be the first road team to win, and stop that 9 game losing streak against them.

[dirkfansince1998]

D'Angelo Russell 6/7 from 3. Anthony Davis cannot miss from midrange. That's as good as it is going to get for the Lakers when it comes to perimeter shooting.

[DallasMaverick]

Denver-LAL game almost reminds me of Mavs game 1. Lakers can’t miss, Denver can’t hit.

We’ll see if the hole is too deep to dig out of.

[The Jom]

When did it become legal to hit the dude in the face right after he shoots?

[dirkfansince1998]

Murray is 4/18 from the field. Nuggets are 7/31 from three. And somehow they are back in the game. If the Nuggets could hit a three this wouldn't be close.

[dirkfansince1998]

Murray is trying his best to lose the game but Jokic isn't having it.

MPJ just hit one.

[dirkfansince1998]

MPJ just hit one.

He is 6/10. Jokic 2/4. Rest of the team 0/20.

[dirkfansince1998]

And of course Murray hits the game winner after he played some of the worst basketball of his career.
