Now The Miss Match.

1:22.0

Welcome to The Ringer NBA Show. I'm Chris Mourinho, joining me. He does every Friday on TheRinger.com. It's Kevin O'Connor, aka Kevin O'Bomer, Kevin O'Climor, Kevin O'Conflick, Kevin O'Candyland, Kevin Oficiating, Kevin O'Connor.

1:36.0

What's going on, Chris?

1:38.0

Well, I think we're both, as we're recording this after we just watched the Lakers Denver Game 4. I think we both come to this a little underwhelmed by the way it all played out in that game.

1:55.0

The Lakers end up winning that game by six points. They have the dreaded 3-1 lead on the Denver Nuggets before the series started, you know, Mike Malone had joked.

2:08.0

Why don't we just make it 3-1 right now? You know, why don't we just go ahead and fast forward and we'll just make it 3-1 and then we can play out the series from there.

2:17.0

2:48.0

I guess sometimes, please, I got aficionics hard, but tell me a little bit, please.

2:52.0

Blame the Lakers. They're the ones that sent off all their stuff to the, they sent their stuff off to the league saying that they weren't getting enough calls and LeBron especially.

3:01.0

So this is what we brought. You knew there was going to be something, you know, there was going to be some level of course correction when a premier franchise complains about foul calls publicly.

3:13.0

And it's not necessarily false that LeBron wasn't getting some of the calls that maybe you expect him to get it that he has gone in the past, but that's not why the nuggets lost this game though ultimately it's from the amount of second chance points and second chance opportunities that the Lakers got throughout the game.

3:28.0

And so that's why we're getting as many offensive rebounds and as he did in the first half ending with six in the total game, Rondo coming up with that clutch offensive board down the stretch of the game when he was left open.
