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

[Joe Sixpack]

That’s all for the year breh I’m not a loser like @Gil Scott-Heroin the autist

Aight dawg safe travels see you next year

 

[T.he I.nformant]

It was Denvers defense that won it for them as the series went along more than those shots. We didnt see anymore 130 point games

You’re right about that. They were still scoring and shooting at a high level (sans game 2) but nothing matched what they did in the first game. They hit big timely shots throughout though. Definitely the defense improved and came up big when they needed it.

In the gym and ESPN on.

All they talking bout is Bron/Lakers

Nuggets still ain’t getting no respect

I'm watching FSN and they just started talking about the Nuggets finally

They had one short segment on anything non Laker/LeBron related and I've been up since 7

 

[Flex Grossman]

* KCP is a specialist who scored 20+ pts only 5 times this season....He scored less than 10 pts in 34 of 76 gms.

* MPJ is wildly inconsistent and takes a lot of low-percentage shots.

* Gordan is a solid player but he does scare me.

* Murray's a good player but is he that much better than Dlo?

Murray- 20p/6a/4r on 45/40/83 shooting
Russell- 18p/6a/3r on 47/40/83 shooting

One of the wrongest things ever uttered on this website

 

[Osmosis]

Gaddamn a fat Euro Cac rushed this man's heart x spirit so bad it's makin Lebron Tapp out and Quitt


This is your GOAT.. U kant make this shxt up..

At 38, Jordan finished 20 games under .500 in the weak ass east led by Jason Kidd's Nets. Jokic would embarrass him like Bird used to

 

[CSquare43]

Lakers brehs, tough one, I asked y'all to go get it after you beat us...

That said:

 

[Big Boss]

Phoenix had 2 players capable of scoring 25 pts, the Lakers have 4 (Bron, AD, Reaves, Dlo)...and don't forget about Rui/Dennis/Walker who can also drop 15 pts in any given game...The Lakers are a top 3 defensive team while Denver is below average....Lakers in 6

U can say the same thing about the nuggets with KCP, MPJ, and Gordon

Told you

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I'm still trippin of the Lakers music person playing "That Crossroads" instrumental in game 3. That's an odd choice for a song

Why marginalize KD and Booker to "scoring 25 points", as if they both didn't average 30 ppg this postseason?

Because it's much tougher to guard a team with 4 players capable of dropping 25+ points than a team with 2 players dropping 30 with very little help from the role players...Also, the Lakers' depth will preserve Lebron for the later games in the series...... Just look at Booker/KD.....They lit Denver up the first 4 games of the series then were gassed for games 5/6 where they shot a combined 30 for 75 (40%) and averaged a total of 44.3 ppg ( 22 pts apiece)

Dlo and Reaves are not notably better scorers than Ayton, CP3 and Payne (all of whom were kept in check by Denver).

It's dishonest to push the Lakers' players up to a arbitrary measurement of scoring and lower the Suns' players. Yes, the Lakers have better depth, but it's not as simple as saying they have more scorers capable of scoring x-amount of points, when KD and Booker have both proven to be considerably greater scorers than every single Lakers player this postseason.

What does Booker/KD scoring more in the playoffs have to do with anything?... They are sitting at home right now...And they could not score in games 5/6 when Phoenix needed them to.....Lebron will not fold late in a series like KD/Booker

Lmao you heard that too

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Lmao you heard that too

I was like

Lakers should've taken that as disrespect, especially when you see the video. I just pictured the end of Bron's career and him walking into the grim reaper and disappearing

Was Jordan playing on a super team?

Did Jordan have a generational whistle

The Lakers are a super team now?

Wizards Jordan wasn't even better than Rip Hamilton, wouldn't have made a difference who he was playing with. And Jordan got a better whistle than Bron his entire career.
