Series Thread: 1st Round: 2) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers

[shopson67]

Willis Reed moment? (Bwaaahahaha....couldn't keep a straight face)

At least he might provide some offense from the backup big. Hayes only gets the occasional lob attempt.

It also seemed like Lebron was MIA in the 4th quarter which I know was a criticism last year in the WCF too.

Playing extended minutes in the playoffs is going to have him fade like that. That and held ball threes.

I am so ready to hire an actual coach this summer. That third quarter needed time outs that led to actual strategy. The Lakers got lazier on offense and heaved threes as a response to the Nuggets run. If only it wasn't almost expected....

We got ourselves a trumpie...

His posts bear that stench of the politics board, as expected.

Yeah he’s a Trumpelstiltskin

The cry of the uninformed boxscore fan. Do you expect free throws with your wide open jumpers and unimpeded bunnies?

Yes. Jokic and Murray never drove once to the bucket. That’s why they shot two FTs between them.

True, the evidence supports that, here’s Jokic’s shot chart. As you can see, all threes.

AD was jacking up horrible treys.....

If there were a way to combine Hayes energy and defense with Woods offense into one player...the Lakers would be in great shape. lol

Sure. How many times did you think he was fouled on those attempts? A lot of those where quick hooks before the defense even got off their feet.

Well, if you could also add in a vet's sense of scheme and in game intelligence maybe. Both are unfortunately lacking in decision making.

They're fatigue shots in most cases (Lebron does the same thing). If he takes a 3 with purpose in the flow of the game, fine.

Man, if we could do shit like this, I would have given Tobias Harris a new brain years ago to go with the skill set.

We'll see if the law of averages kick in tonight and the Lakers finally get a win against us...

Lebron looked gassed.

Davis looked like his name belonged in the same sentence as Joker.

But I hate it when he settles for all those silly ass threes.

Other players need to show up.

For me that’s one of the least talked about aspects of home/road in playoffs. At home, your others will generally be their best selves in most cases. On the road, those same guys are more likely to be a tick below their average production. I think teams that get the others with big contributions on the road win championships.

Yeah, I was thinking last night that the games have been close and that sooner or later they would get one which would hopefully lead to another one. lol

I honestly forgot he was on the team
