yeah i get that, but its a west coast series. doesn't allow us to even get home from work
I mean, Bron gets his 5th ring, there will be a lot LESS pressure for him to do anything else at that point. In the history books, he has the same amount as Kobe and he can finally be
with 5 rings. After the Warriors went down and about to have their whole dynasty team blown up and traded to space, people are looking at Steph, Klay, and Draymond as
with 4 rings, 2 of them with Kevin Durant which they kicked him out the team.I’m saving this post. LWO as always.
As good as i think Jokic is bball is a team sport and you need defense....and i'm just tired of picking against the Lakers lol
Lakers in 6, they gonna repeat this last series split on the first two games and win out at home. I'm still in shock at how good this team came together after the trade deadline and especially shocked that neither Lebron or AD have gone down with injuries.
I feel like its gonna be that old classic in the Finals, Lakers vs Celtics! Let's go baby.

Tough series to predict because these teams have never played before.
This Lakers squad is different since their makeover in February. Although they ended up as a play-in team they’ve been playing like a top seed since the trade deadline.
Last time the Nuggets and Lakers faced off was January 9th. Nuggets won in Denver with neither Bron nor AD suiting up. Home team won every game with season series being split 2-2.
First couple of games are going to be critical. Denver hasn’t lost a home game this postseason. Meanwhile, Lakers stole the first game in their first two series against the Grizz and Dubs. If the Lakers can win one of the first two how do the Nuggets respond to losing home court advantage?
Also the Lakers have also not lost at home but the Nuggets have won a road game in each of their series against Minny and the Suns. How the Lakers deal if they can’t win the first one at high altitude?
I expect everyone to be ready out the gate and for this to be a good competitive series. I think game 1 is a must-win for the Nuggets as a tone-setter. After a few days of rest the Lakers will be ready to deliver a great punch so if the Nuggets can pull game 1 out they’ll be in a much better position with just about every game being every other day from there. Between altitude and travel the wear and tear might start to show. It’s not to say that the Nuggets can’t drop the first game and still win the series but I think it gets much harder if they do.
Will the Lakers steal game 1? Will the home-winning streaks continue? Will everyone stay healthy? Which bench/role players have the greatest impact? Will LA miss Dwight and Javale (and KCP and Nuggets-killer Westbrook)? Will AG be able to slow Bron? Is Bron ever gon fall off? Will Jack Nicholson dare hold on to any ball that comes to the sideline? Who will have a greater impact—AD or Jokic? Holy cannoli will Bron be on the strive for five? Can Murray help the Nuggets punch their ticket to their first Finals? Do the Lakers keep their foot on the Nuggets’ neck or do the Nuggets finally break through? Find out next time on Dragonball Z!

It may be just me, but I enjoyed those early evening start times for the championship series. when I lived out West.
Watching a damn basketball game until 1:00a isn't the wave. Other than national games, it's been hard to follow the Lakers.
Same breh. I gotta get up at 5 at the latest every morning. I might be able to watch all the games now. shyts beautifulIm so happy this is happening
