Alright, Lakers fans, let’s vent! This one stings. We had the Nuggets on the ropes in that first half. AD was unstoppable, LeBron orchestrating everything, and D-Lo raining threes. It felt like a sure win.
But then… the wheels fell off. AD vanished in the fourth, invisible on both ends. Where was the fire he had earlier? Apparently they were saving him for something that never came. Meanwhile, Jamal Murray woke up for the Nuggets.
LeBron Can’t Save Lakers Alone: Supporting Cast Needs to Step Up
They’ve got a well-oiled machine over there, everyone contributing, unlike us. Jokic is a matchup nightmare – rebounds, scores, gets his teammates involved. LeBron’s hero ball just couldn’t compete.
We beat ourselves with those scoring droughts. Five minutes with no points? That’s killer, especially when AD is having a monster first half. This Lakers-Nuggets matchup is brutal. Their supporting cast just gels better, plain and simple.
Jokic’s versatility is insane. He’s a walking triple-double threat, and LeBron’s one-on-one just wasn’t enough this time. We need more than just LeBron carrying us. Frustration is an understatement.
