If the Nuggets and Heat can advance you’d have the two best players drafted outside the lottery. 30th pick and 41st pick.

A dude from Rockford, Illinois disagrees with you.

I actually don’t even get it. What am I missing here? Lol.

lakers offense just not good enough. This is what I was trying to tell you after game 1 when I said lakers can't play offense like that again.

The suns had Booker/KD go crazy in game 3 and 4 to win. Lakers defense is great but it's mostly half court. This current lebron is not up to par on offense to KD/Booker. Rui/reeves a big reason it's been close a lot of games this playoffs run.

Yeah man, you were right.

I thought Lebron had some juice left in him but he just wasn't able to get to that next gear.

The consistent problem for LA is their complete lack of versatility in role players.

The Lakers third best player isn't Reaves, it's Schroeder. Any defensive presence on Murray disappears if he isn't on the floor. Murray would drop 50 every night. Their only true 2 way player.

Reaves is a pylon that provides no help pressure, rebounding, you name it at the position. But they have no one better outside of the limited Rui post defense as a guy who can also score.

Denver has two guys in Brown and KCP who provide all the little things on top of their stalwart of Gordon. It's been the Lakers downfall.

Nuggets are such an unconventional team. They have a bunch of guys who let them down yet they seem to always have 1-2 guys to carry them at given points during the game. Today it was Jamal Murray in the 1st half and Jokic/Brown in the 2nd. This was amid getting little to no production from anyone else. Aaron Gordon was terrible.

It helps when the entire team is unselfish.

He's saying FVV thinks he's the best player outside the lottery

ItsDanger · Post #1371 » by **ItsDanger** » Sun May 21, 2023 3:09 am

So when posters criticize players like Fred or others on Raps, it's because we watch other teams and know why they're successful. Efficiency matters.

Yikes, good try. Let’s hope the next attempt is better. Lol.

Darvin Ham is a stand-up guy in postgame. Straight shooter

Denver heat finals.... denvers offense just too good though I see Denver winning it all. Offense first team about to win it all...

Makes sense when the rules have taken so much away from the defense. Denver plays a safe zone type defense often. Their offense is so consistent, it's tough to beat in a 7 game series. We just haven't seen this yet due to their injuries.

Malone is about the best coach there is speaking postgame. So pumped and so positive

OT from the playoffs, I'm happy to see in wiretap the league is returning to the East West ASG format. Enough of that gimmicky draft.

Mister Ze · Post #1379 » by **Mister Ze** » Sun May 21, 2023 3:48 am

Impressive win for Denver. How many teams can have their MVP go down to foul trouble and not miss a beat ?

Hopefully this puts an end to people wanting Dlo. Dudes way too inconsistent to believe in him

US vs World would be better IMO.
