北京时间4月26日，NBA季后赛首轮G3，湖人主场对阵掘金，虽然本场比赛湖人在次节一度取得12分领先优势，但掘金在下半场依旧强势完成逆转，最终湖人在主场以105-112不敌掘金，系列赛0-3落后。
值得一提的是，这三场比赛湖人都曾领先掘金达到两位数，第二场比赛一度领先多达20分，但湖人三场比赛均遭到掘金逆转，并且对对手已经11连败，而美媒ESPN也晒出这一数据并提问：湖人还能避免逆转吗？这一问题也引起了球迷们的热烈讨论，球迷们纷纷表示：基本没戏。
[1]”掘金真的要再次横扫湖人了。“
NUGGETS REALLY ABOUT TO SWEEP THE LAKERS AGAIN
[-]”我们永远无法击败这支球队。“
We’re never beating this team
[3]”第四场比赛-湖人一度领先15分还是输。“
Game 4- Lakers led by 15 and lost
[-]”不，我们可能会被直接打爆。“
Nah we might get blown out
[5]”这只是意味着
你没有足够的体力
你没有超级明星来止血，或者接管比赛
你没有一个能做出反应的教练。“
it just means
you don't have the stamina
you don't have the superstars that stops the bleed, or takeover
you don't have a coach that can react
[-]”是教练的问题。我们的天赋和他们的首发球员不相上下。难过。“
It's the coach. The talent is pretty equal with the starters. Sad.
[--]”这真是令人痛心，特别是在我们多年来见证过禅师的球队所完成的一切之后。
完全没有进攻策略。只是一个人在高位打挡拆，没有进一步的空切或掩护战术。
防守方面，感觉主教练甚至都不看录像带。我的意思是，禅师在防守方面很弱，但他选择了正确的球员，并随着时间的推移给他们自主权，以确保他们表现出色。“
its just very painful to watch, especially after what we watched over the years with phil's teams.
absolutely no offense strategy. just a one man game over a high post pick and roll, with no further cuts or screens planned.
defensive wise, it feels like the coaching stuff doesn't even watch the tapes. i mean, phil was weak in defense, but he picked the right guys and gave them voice over time to make sure they did good.
[8]”我不担心。詹姆斯是故意以0比3落后然后抢七大战赢下系列赛。之前没有人相信他会以1-3的大比分完成逆转，这次他将再次创造历史。这都是为了他的纪录片。我有信心。湖人抢七拿下。“
I’m not worried. LeBron went down 3-0 on purpose to win in a game 7. NOBODY believed he would come back 3-1, he’ll make history again. This is all for his documentary. I’m confident. Lakers in 7.
[-]”我知道这是讽刺，但大家都相信这只是妄想。“
I understand this is sarcasm but anyone’s that believes this is just delusional.
[10]”掘金更好，就是这么简单。“
The Nuggets are better is as simple as that
[-]”不，拒绝接受，湖人每场比赛都能取得领先。“
nope, that's denial. Lakers was ahead every game
[--]”这并不是说掘金一开始就打得很好，关键是要有持续性和毅力坚持到最后。“
it’s not by starting the game with so well, it’s all about having the consistency and stamina to carry on to the end.
[13]”G2之后，这支球队就已经崩溃了，唉。“
After game 2 this team fell apart smh
[-]”谁会想到他们丢掉了20分的领先优势，这是如此幸运，他们本来即将能赢下掘金的。“
smh who would've thought they were losing a 20-point lead, which was so lucky that they were about to win at Denver
[15]”第一支赢得季中锦标赛的队伍，并在同年被横扫。“
First team to win the in season tournament and get swept the same year
[-]”想象一下，在没有莫兰特的情况下击败战绩2胜9负的灰熊，两次击败太阳，一次没有布克，一次没有比尔，在常规赛中击败3胜9负的开拓者，4胜10负的爵士，12胜11负的鹈鹕和12胜8负的步行者，然后悬挂冠军横幅。“
Imagine beating the 2-9 Grizzlies without Ja, the Suns twice, once without Book and once without Beal, the 3-9 Blazers, the 4-10 Jazz, the 12-11 Pelicans and the 12-8 Pacers in the regular season and then hanging a banner.
[17]”詹姆斯应该感到尴尬。即使哈姆真的是问题所在，你至少应该能赢一场。“
Ngl Lebron should be embarrassed. You should at least be able to get 1 win even if darvin ham truly is the problem
[-]”当你的首发控卫0分而你的替补不能得分时，这有点难。“
Kinda hard when your starting pg scores 0 points and your bench can’t score
[--]”没错，但第二场绝对是可以赢的。“
true but game 2 was definitely winnable
[20]”之前从来没有一支球队在决赛中1-3落后完成逆转。这次联盟的编剧们今年希望湖人在11连败后取得4连胜，创造历史上最伟大的逆转。“
No team had ever come back down 3-1 in the finals. Scriptwriters this year want lakers to win 4 straight after losing 11 straight for the best comeback in history
[-]”好吧，如果他们真的想逆转，他们就需要掘金一个球员停赛并且有一个首发球员受伤，就像2016年总决赛时骑士所需要的那样。“
well if they really want to come back they would need a suspension and a starter to get hurt just like the Cavs needed in the 2016 finals
