It almost looks like the Lakers are just gassed from the altitude? I assume they got to Denver in advance and practiced. When UCLA played Colorado this year the players said they got off to a slow start because they hit a wall early in the game coming off warmups. Then they got their 2nd win and eventually came back and won the game.

LeBron and Schroder only played 7 minutes before going to the bench I'm assuming they were both gassed.

Joker is like that guy in the park that everyone laughs at and then he runs the court for 2 hours.
These are highly trained, young athletes in fantastic physical condition and they are gassed in the first quarter? At this point, I think it is the Nuggets making them look like that. JMHO

Like I said UCLA's players, who are younger, said exactly that. They warmup hard to get a sweat going and then a few minutes into the game they were all gassed from the altitude.

Pretty obvious Denver's gameplan is push the ball so you don't have to play against the set defense and man is it working.

Anyone watching on ESPN+ they keep adding this weird graphic showing how far the shots are.

Hate Denver after the last series, but I guess I hope they pull it off, just because I don't want to see Lakers vs. Celtics crap again.
