Bring on the Joker and Denver. All we are going to hear about for the next few days, is how great the Nuggets are. Lakers in 6
what do you guys think about Denver? they are a well-oiled machine and have size advantage over us and the guy who should be the MVP.
They won’t be easy. If LeBron can play like this in half the games and Ham decides to get AD more looks down low, we win in 6.
DEN is legit.. Curious to see how it plays out over 7 games.. I think we’re a bad matchup for DEN though..
We beat Curry and shots his legs by targeting him on defense . Same stategy with Jokic . I like the Lakers in 6
Denver is the best team we have faced yet, but they have weaknesses for sure. They’re only about 7-8 deep as well, it should be a good series. Will be incredibly hard to win 3 series in a row without home court advantage, but I do think it’s doable. Once again it’s going at least 6, possibly 7.
agree w well-oiled machine, esp offensively. #1 offense for a reason. Constant movement, shotmaking all over, inside and out. The bodies don’t stop moving. Well-coached, mike Malone is solid. Jokic will probably be the most physical player AD will have to go up against in these first three rounds. He will take AD to the 3 pt line often, AD will have to respect his shot out there. I fear for the lack of rebounding or a rebounding big that is ready to just get after it once Davis sits. They have a big front court that easily challenges ours. MPJ, Jokic, Aaron Gordon. They have KCP’s championship exp and Jamal Murray who is a baller. work is definitely cut out for us, I really hope our staff has some plan/idea in this series. Looks like we’re showing as 5 pt underdogs to start g1 next Tues. We absolutely need to take one of those first two games.
Depth and defense. Lakers in 6. Series MVP: AD. Unsung hero: Rui. Nuggets have nothing for AD. Joker hates defense so much, he leads the league in kicked basketballs by a huge margin. He thinks he's Beckham out there. Series should be a better fit for DLO and AR, as well.
