Thank goodness the hornets didn't get number 1. They're going to have a solid duo regardless now though

Jokic on pace for something like 36/54/18 per 36

Jokic is putting on a clinic. 12 rebounds and 3 min left in first quarter.

IDK how the Nuggets lost 29 games this year.

Why I believe joker should be the MVP over Joel Embiid It's because joker literally gets his teammates going all game long. With big Joel Embiid he dominates the ball so much it is so hard to play with him..look how bad James harden is When playing with him...

The fact that Joker dominates the game without dominating the ball is probably the greatest asset to winning that there is..

So Larry Bird like in that regard.

Nuggets bench will just lose the lead lol.

If the refs don't gift the Lakers with bogus calls in their favor and FTs, this series is over in 5.

When lebron James gets within 5' of the basket they need to double hard not that soft double or whatever they are doing.. Make those non shooters shoot before you let James go in for layups

While Denver has an unbelievable good offense I don't think they have enough of a defense to beat Boston should we get that far..

Or should I say when we get that far.. :nod:

I think I would enjoy the lakers getting swept as much as I would enjoy Boston sweeping Miami.. Not that either will happen but just saying..

Denver needs to stop playing with their food..

Austin Reaves is NOT him.

playa-hater · Post #656 » by **playa-hater** » Wed May 17, 2023 1:44 am

Man if the lakers have the top defense in the playoffs they are certainly not looking like it now..

Denver would wax us.

Jokic should have been mvp, if he hadn’t got the previous 2. They are not gonna give him 3 straight.

They played an immature Memphis without Adams and Clarke then a small Warriors with Looney injured and Schroder well suited in size and speed to bother Steph. While they have played decent defense, the numbers were inflated because of matchups IMO.

I disagree.. I feel our offensive talent would be able to keep pace with Denver and eventually wear down the Joker..

I And I do believe we have a good history of happening as well.
