These finals will be great because you will basically have two superstars, Joker and Jimmy, that will demand the ball in the 4th quarter and embrace adversity, unlike other stars who disappear or want nothing to do with the ball in the 4th quarter.

nikka what? :dead:
I'll explain it a different way.

The reason why the Lakers made a near comeback was because the adjustment Coach Ham made was successful.

However, since they didn't win the game it allowed the nuggets coaching staff to make an adjustment to the Lakers counter, WHILE STILL GETTING THE GAME 1 WIN. Usually that doesn't happen.

If Ham had just used his strategy at the beginning of game 2, the Lakers chances of winning that game improve dramatically. And Denver loses confidence.

It's a 1-1 series with the Lakers having the homecourt advantage at that point.

Hence, it's not always about winning and losing, but also How you win or lose.

Ham is at fault because he decides WHEN to deploy any new strategies.

Nuggets much better this year than last year when they didn't have the #2 or #3 option nor the highly effective role players (KCP, Brown) they have now.

Hopefully at least a few games come down to the wire. Could be some legendary back and forth. Might get it with Jimmy and Murray too.

What it is brehs? Does everybody think we done?

I mean 0-149 are some FUKKED UP LONG odds. But… 3-1 down vs Warriors and Bron heard what Klay said about him..

Problem is the Nuggets don’t talk except that Bruce Brown dude who talks to the bench all the time.

Bron is going to have to find that fire and AD needs to START WELL… missing easy shots early is a huge issue.

The Ham needs to fix the rotation: DLo can’t start. He did great vs Warriors at times but this is not the series to wait and see if he will show up.

If Murray goes off and he decides to put Schröder on him again, we could get cooked. We need to get other people to shoot, make it as hard as possible for Murray. And yes: they have shooters. It’s the #1 team in the West..

We can beat these dudes. I believe we can win this series.

Bron should say “fukk the 3” Drive, pass out and be a terror on the defensive end and we have a shot.
