The Lakers wave the white flag and pull their beginners with more than 4 minutes to go.<< br><> < br>> L.A. follows up the most frustrating ending to a video game they’ve had all season on Thursday with most likely their most frustrating video game in general, thinking about all the history with Denver.

Stu simply generally called out the Lakers for not thinking they can beat the Nuggets on the broadcast. I indicate it’s apparent, however insane to hear on the regional broadcast.

Tonight was enjoyable. Can you envision how enjoyable it’s going to be when the Nuggets beat the Lakers in the playoffs with Russell Westbrook?

The Nuggets STILL own the Lakers.

At any time the Nuggets beat the Lakers, it’s an excellent night.

That was quickly the worst the Lakers have actually looked all season. Simply suddenly in the 2nd half they simply rolled over and passed away.
