Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2019-2020, Part 3 – "Playoff Version"

[zoyathedestroya]

Denver has zero rim protection right now. And it starts with not allowing Caruso and Lebron easy access to driving lanes. Zero ball pressure. Lakers getting wherever they want.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Is this rigged? Still can’t believe the clippers lost to this nuggets squad. What a choke and joke! Leonard and George should have gotten roasted a lot more.

[zoyathedestroya]

Nuggets defense has been trash. Lucky to be only down this much, esp since Jokic barely played.

[London2Boston]

Yeah. Not even Nuggets are coming back this series.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Miami would slice these Lakers to pieces with those slow ass wings and double bigs.

Refs seem to be in the Lakers' corner from what I've seen. Goaltend non-coal led to two points on the other end for the Lakers, also a non-call when Danny Green got hand before ball blocking a Plumlee dunk. Probably at least an 8 point swing between those two plays.

Plus Jokic has been on the bench with three fouls, and Lakers have 16 FTAs to 7, not sure if legit because I wasn't paying attention.

I think they would revert to the lineup they played against Houston.

Lebron v Butler and AD v Bam and I have a hard time seeing LA lose unfortunately. The role players would need to have the series of their lives and really bring it.

One's thing's for sure, the myth of Western Conference superiority is dead. Lebron goes West and all of the sudden the West playoffs are a joke and the East are high competitive.

Now they get to know what we've been dealing with all these years.

I don't think they match up well with teams that have athletic, high speed wings. That 30pt beatdown we hung on them earlier this year was no accident imo. They give Denver a lot of uncontested looks and they won't get away with that against the East teams.

[zoyathedestroya]

Need help from Denver here. It's a one-week rest for Lebron/Lakers if they finish this tonight.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Man i can’t stand lebroni. For the most part they have been fresh as a daisy. They haven’t had long series.

When do the finals start? Next Saturday?

[NYCelticsfan136]

We need to find a way and force a game 7 tomorrow. I don’t think a heat vs lakers series will be competitive. I think if it was us we can push it to 6 games. We can play with those guys despite them having Anthony Davis.

[SMTBSI]

They got it to 10!

Probably three days after last game of ECF, whenever that is. October 2 if East goes 7?

[SMTBSI]

Convince me Denver's not winning this.

[threrf23]

Holy **** I look away for a moment and suddenly it's a two point game.

These Nuggets man...

[zoyathedestroya]

Murray playing on one leg w/ Jokic in foul trouble most of the game playing 5-vs-8 and they're only down 3.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Yooo. Denver lol

Look at what Jeremi Grant is doing to LA and imagine what Hayward and Brown would lolol

[threrf23]

Murray almost hit that
