Not offensively imo.Nikkas talking about Murray and Jokic when the real problem is Aaron Gordon
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.Not offensively imo.
If he defensively keeps Bron in check then thats a major problem.
He's a big problemNikkas talking about Murray and Jokic when the real problem is Aaron Gordon
Him and Porter Jr are annoying as fukk.Nikkas talking about Murray and Jokic when the real problem is Aaron Gordon
It’s really very simpleHelp 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
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

Only thing is Reaves was averaging 20 that series.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
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.
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.Help me understand why the lakers have a chance at legitimately upsetting the nuggets?

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.Our Guards Defending Threes Stats.
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.
