You either go bigger to allow AD to roam and limit Jokic. Or you bring in a bigger defender (Vanderbilt) for Murray.

Ham chose neither option by starting Dennis.

I‘m not expecting Rui to shut Joker down completely either but you have to go big with Skateboard Schroeder off the bench

Ham is just obsessed with small lineups the shyt is annoying

Oh dont me get me wrong Rui isnt stopping Jokic. However, the gameplan allowed Jokic to go Super Saiyan mode. That we cant let happen. Jokic got everything he wanted. Jokic dominating is one thing but we cant compound the issue by making Murray look better than Steph. Murray shooting 60% shouldnt be happening. And at least save AD's legs defensively and have help impact the passing lanes.

Just didnt look prepared. Again a better AD vs a lesser Jokic and Vogel wasnt doing the shyt Ham was doing.

Curious what the Nuggets counter will be. Do they go even smaller?

Jokic
MPJ (forcing AD to not cheat?)
Bruce Brown
KCP
Murray
AD would just guard Brown who is shooting 28% from 3 in the playoffs. That lineup would be a win for the Lakers, Gordon is the only player with any chance of guarding Lebron.

Hope the Lakers start:
Dennis on Murray
Reaves on KCP
Lebron on MPJ
AD on Gordon
Rui on Joker

-- If they start DLO then he guards KCP and Reaves guards Murray

Would be a tough matchup for Bron but he did well in the second half when guarding MPJ.

Problem with that though is you force Bron to have to chase a 3 point shooter off the line. And if Denver is smart you constantly move Porter to tire Bron out. He can do it for a qrt, but it might be a lot for a full game. Although tbf its the same problem if they have to face the Celtics. So he's gotta do it now. So if he cant handle MPJ to advance then it would have got exposed more next series.

Byron Scott was right about DLo this whole time.

Not a primetime performer and still is defensively challenged after all these years.

At this point, he's the 7th or 8th guy off the bench

At least Vando gives you solid D right now

It’s just game one, they made adjustments and close the gap. That first quarter hurt them but I feel like they’ll figure a strategy for game 2.
