Lakers-Nugs Game 3: 3rd Quarter Thread

Photo

More photos » David Zalubowski - AP

Let's go straight to the halftime numbers.  49 possessions into Game Three, here's where we stand:

TO% FTA/FGA FT% EFG% TS% Off Reb% Def Reb% PPP
Los Angeles 12 0.43 53 49 51 17 79 0.98
Denver 10 0.48 85 42 51 21 83 1.06

Neither team can make a three: the Lakers have missed 8 of 9, the Nuggets 10 of 11. Both teams are getting to the line a lot, and both are taking care of the defensive glass. The difference in the game so far lies in free-throw accuracy. If the Lakers had made 77% of their free-throw attempts (i.e., their regular-season rate) in the first half, they would have four more points, and the game would be tied.

On the whole, I'm OK with how things look at halftime. Not thrilled, but OK. Someone's threes are going to drop in the second half, right? Who exactly that lucky shooter is might decide things. My money's on Sasha.

Here's your third-quarter thread, you gorgeous things.  Keep on hustlin'.

he doesn’t bring anything to this series.

Billups has 2 points… He’s going to get hot sooner or later. Kobes only gone to the FT line 3 times? One was to shoot a technical… really now?

Birdmans previous playoff high in scoring was 11 points. He got 13 points in the half..

FTs need to get better

We have allready 8, so we can’t be doing that too much longer. Especially if they are 17-20.

Need to see some aggresiveness and an attitude by the Lakers. No careless mistakes.

Another chickenshit technical, this one on Carter. What ever happened to floor fouls???

Agree with JVG. It's a foul, not technical.

Ok, we're sucking ass and down 4.

Are both teams playing equally bad? Or are both teams playing equally good?

He was worried about getting his feet behind the arc and looked down -- he didn't expect that pass.

So somehow the nuggets became the more talented, tougher, better team ...

What?

The Lakers are playing flat, they’ve been horrible during the playoffs. Where is this mindset coming from, and why isn’t Phil, Kobe, and Fisher doing something to address it? The Lakers keep crying, complaining, and they’re letting all the hustle plays go to the nugs.

True

… but before Denver it was the scrub team from the Rockets, and no matter how tough and hard they played, they should never have pushed that series.

I don’t know, I just don’t see the heart, they need to sack up, and it’s down to the leaders to change the mindset.
