Final Score is Lakers 126 , Nuggets 114.

Others might see this as Nuggets played poorly but they played well. But the problem is, the Lakers played much better.

Foul trouble also killed the Nuggets momentum. I'm Lakers on the series but I like Nuggets to give them a hard fight like what they did to the expected team to beat the Lakers in the playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Miami won yesterday. 2-0 vs. Celtics

Who's watching the game of Lakers and Nuggets? the game's still in Q2 and the Lakers is leading the game.

Lkers leading but it'  just reminding me from how Nuggets comeback and beats the Clips.

Lets wait till the final buzzer, Jokic and Murray needs some extra lift from their teammates, like how the Lakers are is playing
as a team, Rondo really plays well finding the open no need for LeBron and Davis to force to the basket.
Still too early but so far Lakers seems dominating the game.
It's on the half time now. Lakers is leading 11 points. Still attainable to be reached and led by Nuggets.

Two more quarters to go.

We will see at the end of this series if Nuggets will do the same as they did with Clippers. But I'm expecting that this series isn't going to be like that.

Final quarter now and Lakers still dominating, leading by 24 points, let see how nuggets will try to push the last run
or they will rest Jokic and Murray then comeback strong in game 2.
Anything can happen as we already witness lots of alike situations before the WCF finals. Keep watching till the last
buzzer.
The game ended with the score of 126 - 114.

Not bad as we're expecting Lakers to win this game. Not bad for Denver Nuggets. At least we get to see them can play toe to toe with Lakers. Waiting for the next game.

Maybe it will turn the tables and be in favor of Denver.

Blowing two digit leads now are a thing.

It happened to Boston Celtics, it happened to LA Clippers and it can also happen in this game since this is Denver Nuggets we are talking about. I agree that we should just wait now until the final buzzer since we never know when will these players blow up. I can't watch right now so I just pinned the scoreboard that is available on Google.

It's more on a mental game now, Howard is playing good defense on Jokic and did bring him to foul trouble. While Murray is frustrated as well because of the tight defense Lakers are playing on him.

The rest of the Nuggets are just watching, Lol. But let's see, its too early, but I don't know if Lakers are going to collapse if Nuggets come back in the next two quarters.

Being a professional basketball players, I don't think that their willpower will be removed just by what happened in Game 2.
Yelling and throwing some items on the locker room? That just their way of releasing their frustration after leading by double digits and yet lost again for the 2nd straight time but I don't think it as a negative all the way. In the end, they will go back to the drawing board, make some adjustments and win the game and at least the series.

Even though I'm saying that, I will still predicting Miami to win in 5-6 games Tongue Cheesy.

I don't even know why is this a big thing.

It is true that they made a ruckus about that but I think they should also consider that they are professional players, they are playing for years now and that is something that's done out of frustration. If I am in his shoes, I will be frustrated too but I can't blame that to all of my teamates since we just have that time we can't play that great and another thing is that their opponent is so great in this playoffs. They gotta release that so they could perform well in the next game.

I really like how Miami is playing also...
They have turned into a complete new team in the bubble and have been playing some good ball. Celtics is giving them a good fight but Miami always seems to shift up their play in the 2nd half and thats where they show their true class.
Down 13 at half... and that 3rd Quarter! Wow!
Even though the miami had no dwayne wade already, they get to the play-offs by the help of former MVP iguodala. What happens to my favourite team, celtics? They just beat by rookies? How come Tatum and other players accept this. Hoping that they will take the 3rd Game in order to extend the series. Clippers was my favorite team as well but it was slayed already by Nuggets. I think Lakers have now guarantee to take the championship in this season.

Celtics didn't accept this, in fact as reported by several NBA media, there was a shouting match at the locker room of the C's after the match. Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown are just two names popping around. So I'm expecting the the Boston Celtics will give everything at game 3, because this is a crucial game. They don't want to be in the position wherein they have to claw back from 0-3 deficit. And we all know that history will not be on their side if that happens. Take it one game at a time.

Majority of us didn't really expected them to win but they just did and, everyone's telling that it's going to be both Los Angeles' teams that will be getting a face off soon.
Lot of  bettors lose money with the lose of the Clippers in the series and some for sure even bet on them winning the NBA finals.
That was really surprising but we have to move on, there's still  one LA, they need support.  Grin
Yeah for the series, many have lost the bet. At first, it was totally exciting and you're on the winning side when you have seen the record but not until the series ended.

This is now the time for Denver Nuggets to be noticed and get loads of fans from those people that never expected them to play like that. They really just broke most people's thought.

Denver has been a good team,their chemistry is pretty awesome but people don't believe that they are a championship team.

That's something they have to prove.
It's okay if they see a lot of people says that they can't make it to the finals. We'll see it and if they proved many to be wrong when they beat Lakers, it's a highlight for them. I'm not a Denver Nuggets fan.   Tongue

iguodala helps but not a big contributor to the team, but maybe he will be called to guard Lebron James once they will finish the Celtics and go to the NBA FINALS.

What happens to my favourite team, celtics? They just beat by rookies?
Yeah, you see it? That's how good the Heat are, they trust their Rookies to beat the Celtics.
But wait, aside from Herro and Robinson being productive in this series, we also have Dragic who is so consistent thus far.

How come Tatum and other players accept this. Hoping that they will take the 3rd Game in order to extend the series. Clippers was my favorite team as well but it was slayed already by Nuggets. I think Lakers have now guarantee to take the championship in this season.

Chemistry matters a lot, celtics are full of talent but their Chemistry is not perfect.

Iggy might just have to play someone fro. The nugs and not Lebron anyway.  I mean how many times do people keep looking past the nugs here.  If there is any year an underdog like the heat or the nuggets win the whole thing it will be this year since there is no home court advantage and is on neutral ground.

The big fight in the locker room was probably something normal, I mean I have been involved with basketball teams before and I can tell you that when there is a big loss that you did not expected at all you end up being angry with each other, not because you dislike them or anything, they are your teammates and you love them but you get angry because everyone did a mistake, you yourself did as well but one has to speak up and knowing Marcus Smart and how he is a big faker he was the one who talked first and that rolled into bigger and bigger.

This is not something to worry about, all teams when they lose an important match has this type of situations, it is quite common in team sports. Obviously Miami is just playing on a whole another level right now so I think Celtics will have to yell a lot harder to each other because I do not see them winning this series.

It's game over now for the Boston Celtics. They might win 1 game but I believe it's over now for them. They have been quarrelling and yelling and throwing things in the locker room. How'd do you expect the tainted team chemistry now?
There's still a slight chance if they pull a big W in game 3, but if they still keep playing a close game, they won't stand a chance to reach the Finals then.

I would not see that as a sign that it is over for them, that can actually be a good catalyst for the players to vent out, throw all the frustration out and then come back together as a more determined team.Miami is trying to run away with the series and I would like Miami to go through, but I do hope that Boston will win next one and give us more game in this series.

I hope they could do that. I don't know if this is the play Miami are trying to show us but they've been making great defense that even with a lot of leads they're opponent has, they are still winning. Saying that, if Boston Celtics can't hold their ground with that lead, they will be having a hard time stretching this game to game 6, how much more of a game 7.
Boston are known with that, they can't hold their lead, if you still remember their last series against the Raptors, there were a lot of times that they are leading but Raptors rally to beat them. Raptors are just a downgrade of Miami that's why they are having some real trouble now.

Expect a good fight from Celtics in game 3, they would not allow to go 0-3 as that is close to defeat in the series.

The fight was only between Smart and his team, lol.. if they like a fight they should make this game an under by giving their best defense. They lose in this game because they lack defense in the 3rd quarter and being down 0-2 after a great performance in the past two series, that would probably affect their confidence as a team.
