Rui on Jokic isn't sustainable. I'm pretty sure I can draw up plays to cause all kinds of breakdowns on the Laker D with Rui as Jokic's primary defender. I expect Denver to adjust. Series comes down to the Lakers being able to sustain a good to great defensive effort for 48 minutes.
He's not gonna be the primary guy on Jokic, but they will put him on Jokic during stretches of the game and have AD camp in the paint.

Nuggets are gonna have to do something with Gordon.

Not really, they just have to fix the angles when AD is the helper to make the pass easier from Jokic to Gordon when AD comes to help. If a wing crashes down then he passes out for an open 3.

Some of y'all are so over-reactionary.

Lebron missed a 3...It happens...we've seen him hit those 3's before....Every elite player has missed late-game shots this postseason....but only a hater would pin this loss on Lebron...Lebron was the only player who showed up in the first quarter....LA lost this game because:

1. Denver outrebounded LA by 17 (47-30)...That can't happen...At one point Jokic was outrebounding AD 16-2.
2. Dlo did not show up.
3. Denver's role players had huge games. Specifically KCP/Browm
4. Denver hit some highly-difficult shots while the Lakers missed some easy looks early in the game

Yet, the Lakers were still right there at the end of the game with a chance to win.....I'm very optimistic about the Lakers' chances of winning this season, but Dlo needs to step up....And Ham needs to give Bamba a look.

Yo I'm not gonna sit here and act like the Nuggets are the 1990 UNLV Runnin Rebels :mjlol:

This team to me is Joker and role players

Murray is a fringe star but still he not like that to me I'm sorry

MPJ is Cupcake City he sawf

I respect what they do and how they execute but nah these dudes can be had

They were making crazy shots and KCP and Bruce Brown had 38 pts that shyt cannot happen again

And that Denver coach will pop off at some point and say some stupid shyt to piss LeBron and AD off

Ham making it easy as possible for Jokic leaving AD on him (again did he watch film of the Bubble? We didnt do that shyt for that long when AD was clearly better than Jokic).

Also having Dennis on Murray + how they were guarding him. Just horrible from Ham. Murray played well in the bubble but it never looked as easy as how they were defending him yesterday.

MBJ...just a refusal to put size on him.

Nuggets are a great team. Its on the Lakers to not make it easier for them.

On the Nuggets side does Gordon fight harder to not switch? Cause if not then Bron needs to take Murray to the paint more. Bron was 9-12 on two point shots. Last shot he missed (from 2) went in and out. Unfortunately led to that fastbreak the other way.

Yeah Bron can really exploit Denver and destroy them with his scoring and playmaking

AD has to be able to roam like he was in the 2nd half on some Ed Reed shyt

Bron neutralized MPJ in the 4th. He was on him right and had him not wanting to take contested shots. I thought DS actually did a really good job on Murray it was just the decision to go under on screens by the coaching staff then having Murray go crazy from the field.

The thing that can't happen was Brown and KCP both going crazy from the field.

That's the part that the coaching staff gotta get on the bench players/guards about

Overall I agree a lot with what you're saying
