I wrote about Darvin Ham, his strengths and weaknesses, and how that should/could influence what type of head coach the Lakers pursue next.

This is one of the best ledes I’ve read in…years? Another knockout from Tyler Parker theringer.com/nba/2024/4/30/…

#MyLatest — I've always been fascinated by the 'King of New York' ethos. So I spent some time in New York recently to unpack that — and Jalen Brunson's place in the history of that term. And what a future as a New York legend actually means. andscape.com/features/jalen…

What exactly is a point guard in the modern NBA? The answer(s) are even wilder than you might think. Welcome to The Point Guard Field Guide: theringer.com/nba/2024/4/30/…

The offseason in Los Angeles

Jamal Murray was incredible down the stretch, again. Holy hell. Congrats to him and the entire Denver Nuggets team. That was a hell of a series.

The Lakers fought really, really, hard. That’s all you can ask for at the end of the day.

The Lakers pushed Denver as hard as possible in what was ultimately a 'only' 5 game series. Very proud of the way the team battled, even though it's easy to see where they fell short. Congrats to Denver, an excellent team.

Anthony Davis has been incredible this series. What a bummer this is.

Not sure if it’s the AD injury or stakes of the game, but LeBron has picked up the intensity level here to start the 3rd. The Lakers have gotten excellent looks with him in the post.

Denver switches a ton in these non Jokic minutes and the Lakers have aggressively hunted Murray with LeBron as a result. They’ve gotten a TON of good looks. Results not entirely there, yet, but chances are there.

First quarter:

Lakers: 2/10
Nuggets: 5/10

Tough, tough, Rui start

Not so much an adjustment, but, one (if not both) of these teams is due for a game where they get hot from deep.

3-point% in the series:
Nuggets: 27.6%
Lakers: 30.4%

Despite neither being a high volume shooting team this year, both finished in the top-10 in efficiency.
