Series Thread: WCF: Lakers vs Nuggets

[DJ]

Gonna say Lakers in 6, maybe 5.

AD can defend Jokic but Jokic cannot stop AD.

Euro players are really no match for AD and possibly guys like Hachimura!

Tonight begins the next step. If the Lakers do what they did in the first two match-ups and steal the first game in Denver, they will be in the driver's seat.

Might have to steal the 2nd one....playing in Denver takes some getting used to.

Lakers flew into Denver 2 days early to get adapted

We shall see.....I think they lose tonight and win game 2.

Neither team has lost a home playoff game this season. Difference may be who can keep that advantage.

That old adage...it's not a series until someone loses a home game.

Pretty much over Russell.....

It's why I would not mind signing and trading him for some depth and we could bring back Reaves and Schroder and start them in the backcourt next season.

It's a matchup thing, just like Rui seemed useless vs the Warriors. I still don't see a path to keeping Schroder other than using the MLE on him, and he's inconsistent at best offensively.

Need to win both in Los Angeles to turn this into a best of 3 series.

 

[DJ]

Hachimura played pretty well.

 

[DJ]

Murray was a complete beast in the 4th.

Murray beasting.

This series is done. It is just a matter of when, unless the Nuggies do a complete el foldo. We shall see. Then we will see who gets re-signed and who doesn't or any combination of things.

I was confident we would win game 3 at home....now I am more convinced we will win game 4.

Something called professional pride. No way James and AD let us get swept....

At least I think and hope.

At least now I can watch with no pressure. If by some miracle they get to game 6, the pressure returns lol.
