Not sure the Lakers (especially the small lineups) can really guard this team... Might have to just outgun them to win.

Really feels like the Nuggets got the Lakers figured out

Well it's a good thing they figured this team out already down 0-2. Even if they're the better team for the rest of the series they still have to win 4 of the next 5 games which isn't going to happen against LeBron and AD.

They're just really hard to guard. Jokic is the best post player in the league, and then they have Murray playing and shooting like prime Steph, and some great offensive pieces around them. This team is still underrated and is an offensive juggernaut.

Rondo is really falling back to earth by the way. He's been playing like regular season Rondo these past couple games.

I doubt it, he was doing well to start the game and looked spry

He's going to look even worse in the finals against Spo or Stevens.

Looks like Rondo's Super Mario star has run out. Horrendous on both ends.

Rondo's not playable anymore honestly. The Nuggets are playing him so well, knowing he wants to pass. And he's just guarding nobody on defense.

As well as AD's been playing in the playoffs, and all the hype on him currently, it's frustrating for me to watch him get the ball in the post guarded by Gary Harris (whom he's got about 7" and 45 lbs on).......and repeatedly [after a re-post] kick it back out. :banghead:

Do they really have great offensive pieces around Jokic/Murray? It all starts and ends with their 2 man game. Outside of Mpj i wouldnt say any other player they have is that much of an offensive threat. Its mostly defensive pieces to make up for Jokic and Murrays weaknesses on that end

I don't want to see Rondo until the second half. He was pedestrian the last two games but he's truly awful tonight.

Also Vogel's refusal to use Dwight more is so frustrating. Stop worrying about him fouling out and not being able to play more minutes. You're already ensuring that by...not playing him more minutes.
