The Nuggets are in trouble...

[Flex Grossman]

Yeah I mean the Nuggets did completely run thru them last year so it will be interesting to see how much better this year's Wolves team is from that one. One interesting note from that series is that while Jokic had his typical stat line of 26/12/9 his efficiency was extremely out of character. He posted a 57% TS and 54% efg... Both pretty mid for a guy of his caliber and both way off of his regular season numbers.. For context last regular season his TS was a crazy 70% and his efg was 66%. If the Wolves can have that same impact on his efficiency this year it could be a great battle.

As much as everyone (rightfully) clowns gobert, hes still an incredible defender against bigs and makes things tough for jokic.

Murray's play is an indicator that the Lakers aren't a serious team this year. He was averaging 30 and 10 against them in the Western conference finals

These games in this series might as well be a december game against the hawks to him

I actually think the Wolves can upset them due to their ability to play defense and also just having the size and height to not stop but somewhat neutralize Jokic's effectiveness.

I wouldn’t even consider it an upset if Munny won. I get it, Denver is the defending champs. But minny is the number one defense in the league with a player in edwards who looks like he’s gonna be the next guard in the MJ lineage pipeline. Denver winning would cement their title repeat run.

I thought my fanbase had some dumb mfs in it. But I guess the Nuggets finally get some success and the retard comes out in some of you

the west is gonna cannibalize itself before the finals shyteeeeeeeeee*

 

[Jazzy B.]

I kinda feel the same way. It's definitely a dangerous way to play, but it does seem like the nuggets are playing the lakers like they can "turn it on" when the need to.

They know the Lakers don’t stand a chance unless both Reaves and Dlo give the Lakers 38-40+pts combined in every game.

They know the Lakers have bad bench production and will inevitably go on a scoring drought.

And now he has perimeter defenders that he didn’t have in Utah to make things difficult for whatever team they play.

This will be a real discussion after game 5. They should have gotten a wake up call and SHOULD close them out. But if the game continues to go like they have so far then this will be an upward struggle for them.

If you take jokic and MPJ's attempts out, the nuggets are shooting 19% from three, and murray still looks like regular season murray. The shooting will normalize and murray will rise to the occasion once they play a real team. Theyll be fine.

RIP me
