He hustles and makes the right plays. Good example for the other guys and you can trust him in an emergency if you actually have to play him.
He lost his lineup spot when they signed Morris so there's not really a reason to play him for now, but I'd actually trust him to do more good than bad in this series more than I'd trust McGee, JR, Waiters, or Cook.
If Morris hadn't been available Dudley would have played actual meaningful playoff minutes for the Lakers.
The series is over and as a laker and bron hater, I take no pleasure in saying this, They will win the chip this season, for one reason only
their offense is simply superior, they score 100 plus pts consistently and easily regardless of the quality of the oppostion's defence whereas the other remaining teams like heat,denver and celtics
simply cannot match that level of scoring (certainly not in the bubble playoffs)
elite offense will beat elite defence 98 time out of 100.
Lakers defence isn't inferior either, so how do you beat a team with a vastly superior offense (statistically in the playoffs bubble) and a defence that's comparable to the opposition?

At least you finally embraced the truth and reality that others haven’t accepted yet...The series is over and as a laker and bron hater, I take no pleasure in saying this, They will win the chip this season, for one reason only

prepare yourself for a year long celebration by the LWO
Series isn't over, I expect plenty of garbage fouls on the Lakers bigs in game 2.
Biggest takeaways
There's a big difference in actual championship pedigree (Lakers) and being paper champs (Clippers). Lakers played them smarter, the rotations were sharper. Even when DEN some showed life LA stomped the fire out quick. Now Denver knows this is a different series/team.
Jokic has to watch his fouls. Not sure how when AD draws fouls at a good rate for a big and LA can target him with LeBron switches if they need to, but Denver have to find a way to protect him.
Dwight's energy was great, he flied around like Orlando Dwight defensively. He's playing like somebody that knows he might not make it back here so he's leaving it on the court. He's also well rested for not playing a whole series.
And IDC about FT totals for that 2nd quarter, lost in all that is LeBron doing most of his scoring that period and then the game got out of hand. Vogel's kept him at really low minutes considering LeBron's resume, in several games this playoffs. Only played 31 tonight and completely deferred to AD and they blew them out. Not sure if it's the ankle or not but that's spooky for Denver.

nikkas forget these Nuggets were getting blown out damn near every game by the California Clippers who just couldn't finish the job. They are resilient as fuk but they're not exactly world beaters.
