I actually think it was the right play.

If you look at where LBJ's body is it really disrupts that play. If Plumblee goes over the top, then AD dives down and he's unstoppable. Bron can also spin off Grant and come down. Nuggets don't have anyone down low to stop that at the rim, either choice and they would have been food.

Plumblee sealed off Bron so he can't get down low and still kept Grant free to stop AD if he crashed. They yelled at Jokic to come up and guard the 3 and he damn near got there.


In the end, you're up 1 and you're giving up a quick catch-and-shoot three to a 31% three-point shooter with a 7-footer's hand in his face. You definitely take that over LBJ or AD running free to the hoop.
Any pass or lob to Bron cutting would have been difficult because Jokic was taking away that angle. Rondo would of had to throw a perfect pass over a 7 footer and given the amount of time, even if he completes that pass, there's multiple defenders defending the catch.

Jokic was able to defend the inbounds pass and somewhat get out to AD to contest him as well... And that was a direct line pass, if the pass was any kind of lob/over Jokic, it would have been probably 2 to 3 guys reacting to it if Bron or AD caught it.

Malone probably said switch on screens, Plumlee just fukked up period

That's his 8th season and he finally making big shots in playoffs. Pelicans gone waste Zion talent too, some teams just don't change, they get a star and think job is done, seats are full.
