Ayo, can I post the 'Eliminated from contention' post for the lakers? Don't wanna step on mods toes if that is a mod privilege.

This was a game winner to win the nuggets first round playoff matchup, which is always a big deal, but there are three things that are particularly impressive here:

1. Jamal Murray was injured coming into this game, so the fact that he held strong through the game, played great basketball, and hit the game winner is impressive.

2. The degree of difficulty on that shot was massive. Going left and shooting right requires perfect balance, focus, and contortion to get the shot off properly. Murray used this to catch the Lakers' Austin Reaves off guard and get a clean look, leveraging a difficult shot against an even more difficult to defend attack.

3. This is the 2nd game winner Jamal Murray has hit this playoff series, both of which were highly difficult shots. Big time shot maker making big time shots.

Let's hope for the good of the nba

Yes it was a round 1 exit but they lost to the (probably) best team right now. The silver lining was that they gave their best from start to end. As a Lakers fan it was 👍 to see their grit.

Yeah bro Brons gone. Idk how many pathways Lakers have to improve. Philly or (darkhorse) Orlando should have the capspace next year. Idk where else he could go without a sign and trade.
