The Joker Seeks The King's Trouble For The First Time Since The Bubble! | Official Lakers (#7) vs. Nuggets (#1) WCF Thread

[Guess Who]

I agree…which East team do you think matches up better with Denver?

I think the Heat have no shot against Denver but Boston can give them problems mostly because I think Horford will do more to contain Jokic than Bam.

I think Lakers win this series though. Denver’s supporting pieces aren’t consistent enough to beat a tough-minded Lakers team with healthy AD and Lebron. I mostly trust LAL role players more too.

The nuggets need to put AD in the pick and roll

I'll say this for the night. Jokic ain't Shaq, he's not fouling your whole team out if you play him 1 on 1.

This games on Ham for being too cute to start.

Next game I'm running Dennis Reeves Bron Rui AD. fukk Dlos feelings.

Nuggets just gotta find a way to maintain while Jokic sits. And Murray has to smarten up on D.

 

[red222]

Jokic has to punish Rai in the post his overpasses hurts them too.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Ham Using Rui/AD in the second half like Mazzulla used Horford and Rob Vs Embiid.

Ham needs to start Rui on Jokic in game 2.

A recipe for Rui to get into quick foul trouble. Jokic ain't no dummy, he'll expose that match-up quick to start a game.

 

[JSS]

Rui on jokic won't make this a series unless the Lakers guards can defend

They were fine once they started going over the screens. I don't know why Ham waited so long to adjust.

Defensively, the epiphany Lakers found with Rui is what Philly already showed months ago

Just go straight at Rui. 2 quick fouls.

 

[ALonelyDad]

40/10/3/3/2 no turnovers and was not the best player today

 

[Guess Who]

Nuggets won but it really feels like the Lakers figured them out

Exactly.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

ass pure ass, you can say he's a big part of why the lakers got down by so much, look how much better they played without him

Exactly.

And I never fall for it when he happens to have a good game.

 

[UpAndComing]

Bron had to give Murray props on the strip

Lakers and Nuggets too friendly for some reason. shyt is odd lol

 

[DoubleClutch]

What games are these? This type of game is basically his “”ceiling” ..

It’s literally identical stat wise to his other great games in the playoffs

Reaves role is to be a decoy in the offense and hope players forget about him so he can hit open 3s

Tonight he was knocking them down

 

[Jaylen Tatum]

Dumb 3 by LeBron he should have attacked.

 

[MrLogic]

What game were you watching Bron/LA should be switched out with Jokic

The way all three was blowing Jokic
you think Jokic playing every position he the coach and the fans.

 

[NYC Rebel]

Gatdayum, that was a great game.
