(Photo by Jamie Schwaberow/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t found much success against the Denver Nuggets. It seems like it just doesn’t matter how well they play; they just can’t seem to get past them. That was evident again in Game 2, as they held a big lead for most of the game, yet they wound up losing by two anyway. That’s why sports analyst Craig Carton doesn’t expect things to be very different now that the series is heading to Southern California for games 3 and 4. Talking on The Carton Show, he predicted that the Nuggets would sweep Darvin Ham’s team simply because ..read more

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   The first two games of the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff run have not gone according to plan. Despite having stars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the roster, the Lakers are down 2-0 in the series, hoping to head back to Los Angeles to find that elusive win. These two losses have been especially frustrating for Lakers fans, considering that the team has been in both of these games but wasn’t able to pull out a win down the stretch. The Denver Nuggets have prevailed in both of these matchups thus far, hoping to repeat as back-to-back NBA Cham ..read more

Henderson/Getty Images)   After dropping Game 2 to the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Monday night at Ball Arena, Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward Anthony Davis was incredibly frustrated after doing everything he could to help the team win and coming up short for the 10th straight time in a row to this team. Davis vented his frustration after the Game 2 loss by claiming that the team sometimes doesn’t know what they’re doing on both ends of the basketball, which was immediately perceived as a shot at head coach Darvin Ham, who has made some questionable ..read more

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   On Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers headed into Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets with high hopes of evening the series at one win apiece before heading back home to play Game 3 and Game 4. Even though the Lakers had a 20-point lead in Game 2 at Ball Arena and seemed to be in control of the game for the majority of the contest, the Nuggets proved why they are the defending champs and the favorite to win it all again this season. Nikola Jokic and company turned it on in the third and fourth ..read more

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   On Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers had a chance at redemption after dropping Game 1 of their first-round playoff series to the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in the Mile High City. The Lakers came into Game 2 in Denver highly motivated as the team got out to a quick start with superstar forward Anthony Davis putting on a show, hitting shot after shot after shot while being guarded by fellow superstar Nikola Jokic. Los Angeles had it rolling so well that the team got out to a 20-point lead and seemed as though they were g ..read more

(Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)   It’s safe to say that the Denver Nuggets have the Los Angeles Lakers’ number after a 101-99 Game 2 final on a Jamal Murray buzzer-beater in a game where the Lakers once had a 20-point lead, got seven threes from D’Angelo Russell, a dominant closing stretch from LeBron James, and Anthony Davis made 14 of his first 15 shots. After all that, the Lakers still lost to the Nuggets for the tenth time in a row, and former Nuggets coach George Karl took the time to take a shot at AD after the loss as well. Karl took to Twitter and said: “Nuggets fans, as you ..read more

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers were almost perfect, but being almost perfect won’t cut it vs. the reigning NBA champions. Anthony Davis dominated in the first three quarters of the game and finished with an impressive stat line. However, he disappeared in the fourth quarter, taking just one shot, going scoreless, and grabbing one board. That’s why former NBA star Tim Hardaway Sr. wasn’t satisfied with his performance and his post-game attitude. Talking on “The Carton Show,” he called Davis out for not taking matters into his own hands when the game was o ..read more

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers are in a familiar position. They find themselves down 0-2 against the Denver Nuggets and judging by the way the series has gone; some can’t help but feel like this series is over already. Of course, they still have two chances to even things out at home, and there’s still a lot of basketball to be played. However, if you’re LeBron James, you’re definitely not a happy man right now. According to Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, he should be to blame for his team’s loss. will the Lake Show get it together? @Shannon ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers need to turn the series around. It’s somewhat okay — or expected — to lose the first two away from home, as they will still need to take one on the road to steal homecourt advantage. That’s why they need to take care of business now that the series is heading to Southern California. With that in mind, coach Darvin Ham claimed that he wanted his players to remember this feeling and how much the loss in Game 2 had stung them, as they will now have to get back at them at home (via Jovan Buha & The Athletic). “It stings.

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   Anthony Davis put the Los Angeles Lakers on his shoulders again. And once again, that wasn’t enough for them to beat the Denver Nuggets. The former No. 1 pick shined with 32 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block on 14-of-19 shooting, but the only number that matters on the stat sheet is the final score, and his team lost. That’s why, after watching Jamal Murray knock down a tough shot over him to give them a 2-0 series lead, he wasn’t happy at all. Following the game, Davis took the podium and was not happy. Then, he simply s ..read more
