Not a bad moment.

They all flop, I don’t care what they tell you. Jokic had a tremendous counter flop on the next play down.

I will bet all the money I have the Lakers won't win in 6.

Depends which AD shows up in games 3 through 6. Even a decent game of his wins this one tonight.

Denver also almost blew game 1 and were bad for most of game 2. They aren't unbeatable.

Jokic has scored 3 points in the 4th quarter through 2 games and DEN is up 2-0.

I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not ma-

Just once it would be nice if LeBron got carried like this.

[Rams Fan]

Man, **** all of you casuals who stopped watching sports after the end of the NBA playoff game.

Quadruple overtime playoff hockey is where it's at.

[Coogs]

I went to bed before the game was over last night. So where does the series stand as we shift back to LA? Is it 1-1? One moral victory for the Lakers in game 1, and a loss last night? Or is it 2-0 LA? Two moral victories for the Lakers to none for the Nuggets?

[TambaBerry]

If you aren't flopping, you aren't trying hard enough.
