Lakers in 6

 

[trojanfan12]

Lakers need to either be up 3-0 going into game 4...or be tied 2-2 going into game 5.

Just don't go up 3-1 on them. lol

 

[Wamu]

F-U 'n F da Lakers! I hope yer power gets knocked out 5 minutes before tipoff. So how you doin' on this not so fine (cause of the hazy sky) Fried Day?

 

[Wamu]

Just wait until the Nuggets unleash Bol Bol in this series.

TLF is proof each team has that one dumbass fan. And what's funny is he's the only Lakers fan on this site that will take anything anti Lakers as a personal attack. Recently he lost his shit because I'm not a fan of Metta. He was defending him for what he did during the Malice in the Palace. Now that's taking overly homeristic fandome to another level to defend something that happened when Metta was a Pacer.



I wasn't even taking any shots at the Lakers yet he went all

Yep.....nobody in their right mind would defend that.

He's in lurk mode.....hand out BS and rainbow ratings, not comment and pretend he isn't actually here.

You know, there's a cream for that.

You know, there's a cream for that.

But does @True Lakers Fan know?

 

[tlance]

well, damn. they can't BOTH lose, now can they...?

Maybe.

So whichever team does the better job tanking game 1 is our eventual series winner?

 

[dtgold88]

I know having Lebron and AD is a huge advantage.

But I think the job that Vogel and his coaches are doing, might be the most underrated coaching job this season.

Especially in defensive scheming.

what about Mike Malone?

 

[dtgold88]

don't recall if I gave a prediction but if not lakers in 6.

 

[dtgold88]

Between Kawhi and George they got 24 points combined when their average is double

They CHOKED

Based on history not surprised about PG....Kawhi not playing well was a surprise, though.

 

[dtgold88]

I'm guessing Lakers in 7. Even though the Lakers have the advantage on the interior, and also Lebron, they don't have the perimeter defense to prevent the Nuggets guards and wings from potentially going off. I think it'll be a really back and forth series. I expect to see some good games.

was a good discussion going on in the "other" forum. ......Who is better between AD and Jokic. A few laughed at even the suggestion, but when the person supporting Jokic made his case he definitely swayed some to thinking it's at least a fair discussion. Did say AD better for the lakers and I agree.

 

[trojanfan12]

what about Mike Malone?

After what the Nugs just did to the Clips, gotta include him too.

 

[dtgold88]

You think the 3-headed attack of Howard, McGee and Morris will slow Joker down? Being serious. Not being a Lakers smartass right now. The fouls might add up and Jokic could be spending alotta time at the line. And FT shooting isn't a weakness (80% +).

I expect the Lakers to advance to the Finals in six.

Not sure how much he'll be slowed down but thinking AD is getting the most time on D and not those guys.

Kawhi folded under pressure.

In San Antonio nobody expected him to be a star and turned out a pleasant surprise.
In Toronto there were higher expectations but let's be honest, nobody really saw them being NBA champs.

For the first time in his career he was a superstar with a major title favorite. And he choked.

 

[dtgold88]

I do.

The advantage Jokic has is that he can hit the 3 and is a great passer. You don't typically see Dwight or Javale in the game without Lebron and/or AD. The Lakers can defend Jokic inside with Javale and Dwight and also defend him on the perimeter with AD and Lebron.

Also, all 4 of them are more athletic than Jokic. That should help them to be able to single cover him which cuts down on his passes to open players.

They can slow him down, but he was still pretty good against Gobert.

He did...but I'm not chalking it up to pressure, rested too much, etc. Just think he had a bad game at the wrong times. Happens.
