I didn't realize AD has what 30 points, any other game it would be the highlight but Jokic is playing Godly

This is how the Nuggets have played for most of the playoffs though. It's not some abnormality.

Just not our night. Everything going in for Denver.

I hope Jokic calls out Jackson in his post-game interview

It ain't a surprise Lakers closed the lead once Dlo sat.

Lakers absolutely HAVE to win this game. No telling if they get another AD performance like this.

I guess we will see how Nikola Jokic will look when Robert Williams/Al Horford or Bam Adebayo defends him in the finals. My guess is still very good because he is that guy, but he would likely have to work a lot hard compared to his matchup vs Anthony Davis.

Man if AD can't do anything not sure what those guys are supposed to do.

Unless they magically are able to stop Jokic from being able to pass the ball.

I don't see ether one of Bam or Williams stopping Jokic. However I think he would have to work a lot harder vs those 2 guys compared to AD. He is getting destroyed by Jokic and he's not even working that hard to get his points and assist.

Yes as the game progresses Lakers will get tired , at the end of third will be 30 points Denver lead

You'll notice Lakers aren't running. they are playing a slow paced game. And that is smart. They are avoiding the mistake Phoenix made when playing in Denver.

Yes I noticed :lol:

Jokic plays like that one uncle you pull in for a pickup game who ends up giving you buckets.

Pretty sure both teams shot over 60% in that quarter. Really bad defense.

VFX · Post #1858 » by **VFX** » Wed May 17, 2023 2:31 am

If Embiid was a man he would deliver the MVP trophy to Jokic tonight.

He really is Dirk and Nash combined.

Outside of like three possessions, Anthony Davis couldn’t be defending this dude better. Nikola Jokić is a freak.

Who wins?
