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

[Damnshow]

The 1st half of the game looked like when you played those old school Mortal Kombat games, you beat bunch of fighters and you get to Goro level, and you don't know what the fukk to do.

If Lakers didn't look so lost in 1st half then who knows....maybe could've won.

Anyone shytting on the Joker is instantly put on ignore. They know zero about hoops.

Yes, Denver doesn't have good defense.

Neither do the lakers so the better offense will win and that’s the nuggets

Healthy and locked in AD is the second best player in the game behind Jokic, we might be seeing an all time battle here

This is not true. The Nuggets started doubling Booker around game 3. He even said himself he’s not used to people doubling off of him. In the half court they sagged off the shooters and loaded up on KD. That’s how guys like Bruce Brown were coming over for turnovers. I’m not sure what series you were watching. The one game they left him on an island he got in foul trouble and was KD’s best game of the series. Being the primary defender doesn’t mean you’re on an island. And the idea that Jeff Green needs to stick with LeBron is some of the worst basketball analysis I have heard all year. He was damn unplayable this game. Ham spotted Denver 24 with his initial rotation and that was the game combined with timely shot making but none of the shyt you’re recommending will save them. LeBron and AD will do whatever they want all series because Denver has no rim protection. Jokic is one of the worst rim protectors in the league because he lacks verticality.

While he lacks verticality he can make up for that by using his size, moving his feet, and making smart use of his hands. My frustration is when he doesn’t react and doesn’t move. Way too many uncontested baskets by the Lakers in the 5-10 foot range last night. If he makes a more solid contest that will help the Denver defense immensely. Bron and AD have an advantage but Nuggets can make it difficult for them to just do whatever they want.

He’s such a force when he’s healthy. So versatile. So impactful on both ends of the floor.

I was wrong, this Serbian cac is the rightful MVP

we all make mistakes b.

but too many would rather double down and look stupid instead of just saying they was wrong or fukked up.

 

[THE 101]

Nuggets played their magnum opus
Still la was there ready

AD scored 40. Rui and Reeves went off too. Still lost. I don't think Lakers could play that much better.

There was a game last night?!?

Everything after the lotto was a blur

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Joker is fukkin ridiculous

He’s better than Embiid it’s not even close

 

[Braman]

DLo is unplayable this series, and Vandy should take his place.

Just my thoughts

3 co-signs for this

Vanderbilt is their lone non shooter. But there’s no elite wing for him to ‘lock up’. Schroeder is the high energy guard defender….Lonnie walker is the bench energy and wing defender. Vando is the one who serves no prison HE is the one who’s unplayable

With D lo as usual people overreact to his bad games. He’ll be fine

Skip officially a Lebron/Laker fan.

This team is just too exciting to hate.

If you think Rui on Jokic is a solution you’re in a rude awakening. Truthful the nuggets got lackadaisical, they did the same thing with the wolves and suns at home. Mike Malone also said the same thing about the wolves and suns, he is trying to get the message to his team focus the entire game, the nuggets biggest issue is the bench minutes, Green and Braun were terrible

It’s not about Rui stopping Joker. He didn’t. It allowed AD to play help, which is what actually limited him. If they’re going to play Gordon in the dunker spot then that strategy will work all game.
