What’s the final verdict?

AD or Jokic?

Jokic better #1 option, but debatable if a team with him as the #1 can get over the hump

AD better #2 option.

I actively hope the nuggets win game 7 because the reality check when AD rolls them in the WCF will be something to behold, I want this blasphemy to be dealt with head on :lol:


completely overwhelmed by AD. repent

AD outplayed him on 1 leg

That guy has the worst takes on this board :lol:

MPJ and Jokic frontcourt aint getting it done bro. Defensively Lakers are just too big too strong and plus Lebron is just too good. MPJ gotta get stronger and he's gotta be able to defend an orange cone before being ready to close out games like this


again I get it, but again they lost by double digits and he was a one of the few nuggets that was a + on the net rating tonight.

Trust me I get the defensive lapses. I do. But sometimes you gotta shoot your shot and just got with your most talented unit if he **** up defenisvely he **** up defensively...its can't be worse that a guy shooting 25% from the field for an entire series!

I hate that the Lakers were a bigger joke than us this past 7-8 years...and because Lebron decides to go there they go right back to the **** Finals. Luckiest franchise ever followed by Boston.

Millsap's teams have played 13 playoff games against LeBron in his career

His record in those games is 1-12


its not even a knock on mislap he's just washed now. He was a good player in his career...but he's completely washed.

Even with Lebron there they were a joke. They didn't make the playoffs last year. The Knicks beat them twice. Hezonja blocked Lebron to seal the win. The difference is AD.

It will never get old how Lebron is going to be the reason a lot of these head coaches' resumes look better than they should.

listen, the nba is all about great individual talent. they try to convince you it's about a bunch of other stuff but in the end, it mostly comes down to that.

i understand but its not like they were completly overmatches all series

AD hit a game winner. They were tied with the lakers basically going into the 4th in this game. This could have easily been the game 5 2-2 series tied game.

Lebron probably ultimately wins no denying that. But this series could have easily gone 6 or even 7 if Malone just trusted the talent he has. For goodness sake the kid has his best defensive possession of the series and he took him out next possession :lol:

People really thought Lebron was going to follow through with that fake strike threat of leaving the bubble?

Lebron knows this will be his last chance to win a championship with another year of Paul George and Kawhi together, and the Wariors coming back next season.
