Nikkas talking about Murray and Jokic when the real problem is Aaron Gordon

Not offensively imo.

If he defensively keeps Bron in check then thats a major problem.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

AD HAS to be aggressive from the gate and go right at the Joker

He can't settle for his trash jumper

Take it to him!

Denver has no real depth either

NOBODY is pickin the Lakers in this series. Unless these nikkas are all flaming homos they have to bring it to these guys and play with reckless abandon

 

[HoldThisL]

Yes offensively. If they don't keep a eye on Gordon it's going to be easy backdoor cuts to the rim each time from a Jokic pass.

He's a big problem

Help me understand why the lakers have a chance at legitimately upsetting the nuggets?

As bad as I want this to happen, I can’t just figure out why anyone would actually be confident after being swept last year and swept in the regular season

Help me understand why the lakers have a chance at legitimately upsetting the nuggets?

As bad as I want this to happen, I can’t just figure out why anyone would actually be confident after being swept last year and swept in the regular season

It’s really very simple

Murray played the series of his life… literally played to the level of an all time great that maybe only Curry had reached

DLO played the worst series of his life, averaging 6 points and was like 13% from 3

And with that all the games were close.. those 2 outliers not in the Lakers favor and the games were still close

Only stands to reason that if you can limit Murray to his normal 24-25 PPG and DLO averages even 15+ Lakers have a very good chance of winning

 

[Voice of Reason]

Vincent the best point of attack guard on the roster, kinda wild because he's barely played all year, hes gonna be a key guy if they wanna do anything at all

Him and Dinwiddie need to have a big series.

Ham needs to give both of them more minutes than his boyfriend Prince.

1. Ham will be starting Rui instead of coming into the series with a 3 guard lineup.

2. Lebron is healthy and his 3 point shot has been falling.

3. DinWiddie and Gabe are good enough defenders to keep Murray from averaging 33 points a game.

Only thing is Reaves was averaging 20 that series.

Its crucial he plays that well again this series.

Not saying in terms of points, but overall impact.

1. Ham will be starting Rui instead of coming into the series with a 3 guard lineup.

2. Lebron is healthy and his 3 point shot has been failing.

3. DinWiddie and Gabe are good enough defenders to keep Murray from averaging 33 points a game.

Reeves was beasting in that series tho. You think he’s going to replicate that level of success ?

Lakers are way worse this year defensively

Lebron may be healthy compared to last year but he has more miles this year and is 39.

You’re assuming DLO will not average those numbers again

The two main differences from last year are Bruce Brown is gone and the Lakers will get a little more rest between games. Denver doesn't have the same depth and this is the freshest LeBron will be during the postseason; maybe he can close out one of the first two games and give them a shot.

Their offense has been pretty dynamite since that bozo Ham put Rui back into the starting lineup. I expect DLo to have a much better series than last year.

Like what's been said though, the key is gonna be keeping Murray under control. If they don't slow him down, they have no chance.

Ham better prioritize Gabe Vincent and Spencer on Jamal. We can't let that mother fukker go off like he did last season Switched Gabe and Cam Reddish to last season to get a better sample size.

I checked the Jokic defender stats the past 2 years and it seems like LeBron had the most success vs. Jokic compared to AD and Rui. Jokic had his most turnovers when LeBron was guarding him. I don't know how sustainable that matchup is.
