I didn't watch last nights game and have missed parts of the others, but I feel like the Lakers have played well. They get up in each game and it appears Denver just humors the Lakers until they turn it on and win the game. It must be so frustrating watching as a Lakers fan. This has been 7 playoff games in a row where they script has been the same. I am not sure who even LAL can add this offseason to make the outcome any different. Denver just appears to have a cheat code they can turn on in every game that makes the outcome come up in favor of Denver. Amazing.
That was a bad play by Embid. If Philly can win game 4, that series is going to be great for the final 3. The only thing missing is fans fighting in the stands.
I've been trying to imagine who the Lakers could trade for that would fix the mess and I don't see the solution either. Dejounte Murray is a good player but I don't see that he's much of an upgrade over Russell- especially as he doesn't shoot as well. They don't have the assets for the Donovan Mitchell sweepstakes. I think they're stuck and will only decline as Lebron approaches 40.
