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

[Primetime]

Nuggets have surprised the fukk outta me not gonna lie, now at this point I think them and the Heat are gonna be on a collision course in the Finals. Jimmy is on a mission but so are the Nuggets, cats talking about ratings gonna be trash but I'm a bball head so I'll be watching for sure

The two underrated, under mentioned teams who have shocked the world beating up on big name, star laden teams. Nuggets have been this good they just weren't healthy, the year Jamal tore his ACL I thought they could've done something that year but it seems they're on track to do that this year. Nuggets are deep as fukk, and you can't ask for a better duo than Jokic and Murray.

What people don't mention about the bubble series between DEN/LAL is that LA didn't have to face the same Murray that UTA and LAC had to deal with. He was already hobbled but still capable in the LAC series but by game 3 or 4 vs the Lakers, his leg was cooked. Murray largely carried Denver in round 1 vs UTA (was trash in game 7) but then cooked LAC for 40 in game 7 of round 2 to close them out, while Jokic struggled (shot 38%).

The only question after the injury (that i had) was whether he was capable of reaching that level of proficiency/being a 1b option. We've since see Luka, Donovan, Butler and all the big time bubble performances duplicate their efforts in non bubble enviornments but the jury was still out on Jamal until this playoff run.

Salute to the Lakers. Before the trade deadline, I thought ya'll were going to give Wemby to the Pelicans

Yeah I still give em credit for how they started and are gonna finish the season, obviously you wanna win it all but this team was a 7 seed. They were in a deep hole during the first part of the season and until the Russ deal post all star they became a different team.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

40 from AD, 35 from Bron.

Role players and defense should be enough after that for the win.

Question becomes, can you get that from AD and Bron for back to back nights?

lol

Ref looking right at Schroder carry and travel

“ remember what Adam silver said! “ ( in thick German accent )

Lakers need to resign Dennis, Rui, and Reaves. Get Kyrie to take a LA discount and get Nike to give Ja's deal to Kyrie to make up the money difference and run it back.

Kyrie is not taking any stupid ass LA discount
He could've done that last year and chose the money cause he's not a dumbfukk obviously

By the way, Horford on Emibiid with Timelord roaming shut down Embiid because he's more limited offensively than Joker. Rui and AD were never gonna contain Joker for long.

Do Lebron secretly run this page? Because they dikk ride him so much.

It's worst pages on IG. There's one that's exclusively dedicated to his family. Stans are weirdos

 

[HoldThisL]

Can we count those losers out now?

 

[JQ Legend]

Hate to say it but lebron needs to do a farewell tour next season

Bron gone keep going at least 2 more seasons

Wouldn’t be surprised if he stay longer than that

Bron not playing at the level he was years ago but he still great at what he do

At 38 he still one of the best players in the league

I definitely blame him for the loss in game 2 but the other players gotta step it up, especially AD

Can’t believe brehs arguing when I said Lakers had a helluva chance to take game 2 when despite Bron fukking up and AD abysmal FG percentage they only lost by 5 and was still in the game till the last minute

 

[BK The Great]

I give it to him for keeping hope but it’s over. They kept coming back when the lakers had the lead, they might dust them in the next game.

If we put these nyggas in a pack Monday the NBA mainstream media gone be SICK.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Get the fukk out of our way and let us do our thing. I rock with it.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Lol what?

Reaves is about the only one you can say has looked the part this series fr

Reaves is the reason Murray and all the guards confidence is at 1000

Reaves shoots good because he is the most unsuspecting scorer

He hits open 3s I’ll give him that

 

[#1 pick]

They haven't watched Denver all year, time to start.
