I wasn't alive for Bird. But Jokic might be the best half court player I've ever seen other than maybe Shaq and Duncan. He's absolutely unstoppable. That weird little turn around fader off of 1 foot should be illegal

Lol. We can beat these nuggets team. They don’t have a deep bench. They don’t defend that well. No rim protection, their guards don’t have fast hands like the heat, and they are no warriors, i’m sure we can win a shoot out against them.

Their offense is unstoppable enough to make up for that though.

Not gonna matter if they hit every shot lol. The C's are a streaky offensive team. We had major scoring droughts against the Hawks, who are even worse defensively than Denver.

Jokic back in, that little run LA went on was cute but now Nuggets will blow them away.

Nuggets defense is a joke lol

I don't think Mazzulla will be outmatched by Malone. So that's a good thing.

Their guys are like our guys except they actually hit shots consistently.

Yeah, Murray has a sweet touch and KCP is deadly from 3.

lakers will win game 2 if they cant pull this one out. they know they can outplay denver now.

Lebron putting up these numbers at his age in a high stakes game is both amazing and annoying. Retire already.

Lol, Lakers have 0 chance of winning in Denver.

ConstableGeneva · Post #696 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed May 17, 2023 3:05 am

West matchup is up-and-down, high octane offense. East matchup will be a bar fight.

This could be us also...if we just stop standing around on offense. Denver players are smarter cause they move around like for example cutting in when Jokic is doubled. When Tatum/Brown gets doubled, other guys are just still standing outside the perimeter waiting for the pass instead of cutting inside.
