Denver kind of has no one to hold PG in this series. He might actually go off facing all that drop coverage by Jokic.

And let's see how Murray's leg looks by game 1.

If Malone plays MPJ more, than Denver has a chance but I don't think it's going to happen. I will say, I think Denver is better off defending Kawhi's mid-range jumpers than Mitchells ability to get to the rim. PG-13 will be the x-factor in that series.

The matchup I wanted. Zubac does a solid job on Jokic usually if Doc actually plays him. Murray will have a lot of defenders thrown at him. Clippers in 5. The biggest concern I have is their role players always torch us.

Eh. If Doc plays Zubac 25-30 minutes it's not gonna be easy believe me. Jokic has struggled vs him for stretches.

This is where denver pull out they're depth
I expect to see more milsap to counter la small bigs...
Gobert is a rare true defensive c... zubac is not
Also wouldn't mind seeing bol bol get some early minutes, jus to see how the clippers respond
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft
mike, hakeem and Barkley on the same team!!!!

Never easy coming off a hard fought 7 game series and jumping right back into it against a truly great team. I expect Denver to come up short in game 1 but I hope they can make it a competitive series. Having Barton back would be huge in this series, but I don't expect it.

Good lucking citing regular season play. Playoff Jokic is not regular season Jokic.

Nuggets have the best C and PG in this series and we have a personnel that's better suited to guard elite wings than guards. I like people counting us out, we'll surprise them.

Clippers in 5, maybe 4 if PG plays well.

Clippers in 5. It's an easy match-up for them imo. Clippers have several perimeter defenders to slow down Murray. So for the Nuggets Jokic will be the key in this series, the offense should run through him

Jokic is going to put up some monster numbers in this series as LAC has absolutely no one to slow him down except Zubac and I don't think he will fare well. I could see the Nuggets winning in 7 but my gut tells me Clippers in 6

Rooting for the Nuggets, predicting the Clippers. Hope Murray is able to get right for this series.
