Not shocked Reaves is struggling. Similar to GS he's going to get overwhelmed at first but I epecthim to play better as the series goes on.

This is inexcusable from DLO. This style of play should favor him.

Rui or Bron gotta guard Jokic while AD sags off Gordon and helps if Jokic gets in the paint. Only way they'll be able to get boards and protect the rim.
This is how I thought we would start. Not with these 3 guards.

Those aren't gonna get it done going a combine 4-15 from your backcourt. They are getting good looks to, this is the thing. Nuggets have really been giving the Lakers some great shots here

The one thing that boggles my mind is the poor transition defense. Whoever takes a shot and misses ALWAYS hangs their head and starts to kinda jog back, or argue with a ref.. Meanwhile you got the Nuggets all sprinting down

YOU KNOW THIS!! YOU KNOW THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN!! Whey do the Lakers consistently make the same mistakes in transition defense.

Yeah at this point Ham needs to experiment with Rui on Jokic with AD lurking the paint off of Gordon
Not stopping Jokic anyway.
Get AD closer to where he can help out on the board or fukk up the passing lanes. Jokic is much better than he was in the bubble. However, Ham is coaching this half like he didnt even watch that shyt. Jokic is going to wear AD down.

Bruce Brown came off the bench and gave the Nuggets more points than D'lo, Reaves, and Dennis combined, that should not happen. :francis:
Really hoping its just a case of them adjusting to the altitude in a playoff environment.

Gotta make shots though. Thats what doomed Phoenix as other guys missed wide open shots. Even KD missed shots he normally makes.

Our best chance was during that run when we got it to 9 and we missed back to back treys. Not sure if we can get back in this one.

Right away I’m seeing that Denver is a whole different animal from GS or the Grizz.
They also won’t shoot like this every game. They did this against Phoenix game 1 and then came back down to earth. But we can’t let them just out run us.
