I really wanted to see Malik Beasley have a contribution to this team playoff run. He is the only guy out of the three from the trade group that has been unplayable these playoffs. :francis:
Vando is hovering on that "unplayable" territory right now. The playbook is out on him. If he's not giving you anything offensively his defensive abilities aren't enough for him to see the floor.

I’m not a lakers fan but I’m curious to know if you all believe that the lakers can actually compete with the nuggets or is it a more even matchup?

We’ll try him on Jamal Murray to start but the leash won’t be 5 games like it was last series. The problem is, Dennis is too small to guard Jamal and DLo is too woat on defense. We can try Reaves but Jamal might be too shifty for him. It’s completely different than guarding Klay where u knew Klay just wanted to shoot.

Jeanie prioritizes the business just as much as winning . Sucks for us :manny:

We havent run it back with the same championship squad even since the kobe days. We signed Artest to the MLE instead of giving Ariza more.

jeanie learned her lesson from not signing caruso. she's also very in tune with the media/fans and has acknowledged the hate she's gotten online. I have no doubts that she re-signs reaves pretty quickly, at least for her mental health.

I think Vando plays well this series. Murray isnt the playmaker/threat Steph is. And Vando's gotta be due to start making some open shots. Plus he could potentially frustrate someone like MPJ. And lets be honest...breh needs reps cause if the survive Denver they are staring at either Jimmy Butler or Jayson Tatum.

This.

Nuggets have been the most consistent team in the playoffs. It took retarded shooting performances by Booker and KD to get 2 games from them. Legacy defining series for AD. He shows up against Joker and we got a chance to spring the upset easily.

I think the Lakers may start Bron or Rui on Jokic and have AD sag off of Gordon and play free safety.

It's a risky strategy but it worked well in the bubble. Of course, Bron and Rui are nowhere near the post defender Dwight is.

Really sucks that there isn't really a viable backup big to put on Jokic. McGee/Dwight were good for that. Bamba is getting put through the rim, and Thompson is getting spun into circles.
