NBA series after a team is up 3-0

The record of teams losing 3-0 in an NBA playoff series is 0-149. So, if you lost the first three games, chances are you’re not making it to the next round. Some teams managed to make it past Game 4, but only a few made it as far as Game 7.
  • 91 teams were swept (0-4)
  • 44 teams lost in Game 5 (1-4)
  • 11 teams lost in Game 6 (2-4)
  • 3 teams lost in Game 7 (3-4)

The only good thing that developed last night is DeAngelo played his last series for Lakers.

1st thing is Ham has to go! He doesn’t have it as a head coach.

AD is right they don't run anything especially when they get behind. Lebron looks for a screen to dribble
drive or shoot. Often a panic shot. Look at Denver by comparison, twice Jokic went from baseline with picks
around the key, they moved the ball to the top and fed him crossing the key for a layup. Lakers don't do that.

Not to mention Ham couldn't figure out who to use to stop Porter who killed them late.

Ham provided his own egg on his face.

Denver mailed it in yesterday. They made one run, when the Lakers responded you could see they folded tent.

Especially Jokic.....zero aggressiveness mid 3rd until the end of game.

I can't figure out why Lebron was not on Murray with their season on the line. Murray repeatedly beats Reeves to a spot. You know it's
a ball screen, if no shot, Joker rolls for a pass. Same game ending shit by Denver yet Ham or James scratch their head walking off the court.

Reeves should not have been in the game. He's a liability on defense.

It was interesting post game with the Denver coach building up Ham, as some good coach, great guy and hoping for a long career with the Lakers, almost apologizing for the series win, and how tough the Lakers are.

Of course, he'll beat him like a drum every year because he can't coach. He wants him around.
