WCF: Nuggets vs. Lakers

[DC23]

Lakers in 4.

[DC23]

Jokic is a great player but AD, McGee, and Howard are going to beat the shit out of him on both ends of the court.

[SuperCam]

Lakers lose game 1 in a feel out situation like last two rounds then backdoor sweep per usual

[RD2191]

Nuggets in 6. Lakers ain't shit.

[Robz4000]

Nuggets in 7 after the L:lolkers blow a 3-1 lead.

[Robz4000]

Jokic is a great player but AD, McGee, and Howard are going to beat the shit out of him on both ends of the court.

Jokic had no trouble against Gobert and Zubac, who are better than McGee/Howard. Davis is soft as shit himself, but both him and Jokic will put up numbers.

[Kawhitstorm]

Would be hilarious if the Nuggets pulled a ‘11 Mavs :fishing

of course it would, so you could deflect from kawhis monumental failure

[lefty]

I think he meant the rotation can wear Jokic out

[AlexJones]

Lebron feel out games are real

[AlexJones]

Lebron is like Mayweather he takes early games/rounds off only to destroy them later

[Kyle_Kuzma]

gonna give these nuggets a game. they got heart tbh.

but this be like that houston series.

lakers on a whole new level in the playoffs. no fukkery allowed.

lakeshow in 5. we got legit bigs that can beat and tire jokic.

lebron gonna son murray and unlike doc, vogel a real defensive coach.

[DC23]

I think he meant the rotation can wear Jokic out
Correct, the Lakers bigs will wear out Jokic and Rondo/Green/Carusco will wear on Murray. Just seems like a very easy 4-0 sweep. But I've been impressed by the Nuggets!

:lol thinking dwert and McGee will limit Jokic at all. The Lebron/Davis PnR will be difficult for him, but he'll get his on offense. Lakers' shitty depth hasn't been a problem for them so far since the Guests/Rockets weren't deep themselves but that'll change this series. Denver's guards are about to have a field day.

All that being said Denver may only win a game since they haven't had any rest in weeks. Also like I said the Davis/Lebron PnR might be impossible for them to guard.

Not limiting him, but wearing him out

Riley used that tactic against great centers and it worked occasionally

[daslicer]

Would love to see the Nuggets pull off the upset but won't get greedy after what they did to the Clippers. Hoping they can make this a series that goes beyond 5 games.

[Robz4000]

Not limiting him, but wearing him out

Riley used that tactic against great centers and it worked occasionally

It worked back in the day when the game went through the post. The Lakers aren't gonna post up dwert or McGee against Jokic and neither is a threat offensively outside lobs/rim running. This series will also allow Denver to play Plumlee more to take pressure off Jokic on the defensive end.

[Robz4000]

Also need to take into account this is happening in the bubble where homecourt doesn't exist.

we got AD

non issue

[Robz4000]

https://youtu.be/IB_S13ELU3c

That's something that can bother Denver. Neither Utah or LAC had a big that could guard out on the perimeter like AD. He won't do much against Jokic but he can give Murray problems.

[swrowe78]

Not saying they can stop Jokic. But they have enough size to put on Jokic. I think Murray is more of a concern for them.

[phxspurfan]

Nuggz in 7, and only bc refs will hand Lakers 3 games on a Silver platter

[Rummpd]

Heart says Nuggests somehow, someway in 7 but mind is with the darkside that is LAL so LaRoid, DaQuit, Rondo, HOward, and motley crew in 5.

[ducks]

Nuggets are playing well
Paul George was more concerned about social justice then game
What about lakers ?

[Laker_1995]

Paul George is Rudy gay with more field goal attempts

[Rummpd]

we got AD

non issue

https://youtu.be/IB_S13ELU3c

You got DaQuit how can you root for that franchise destroyer?

[Rummpd]

I am praying that somehow someway the Nuggets beat the LaRoid DaQuit HOward - I am so sick of everything falling in place for these frauds and just hope against odds - 8 on 5 especially that Nuggets prevail! Would be epic fail by LAL

[Rummpd]

Going to casino and putting small amount on Denver....

[ambchang]

The basketball gods took care of the spurs fans. Now hope they will take care of pels fans.

:lol clippers losing to a team led by Pillsbury doughboy and a Canadian.

I meant defensively lol
the strategy worked in a couple games in the 94 Finals when Riley switched Ewing, Oak and Mason on Dream

[Kawhitstorm]

*DNP: Durant/Kyrie/Curry/Klay/Draymond

[JamStone]

LBJ scared a little?

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29909772/los-angeles-lakers-lebron-james-respect-resilient-denver-nuggets

Nothing he said would indicate he’s in the least bit scared. Respectful is not intimidated. If anything, he sounds diplomatic, like he always sounds like. Giving credit respectfully, dismissing narratives and storylines that would suggest anything about legacy or history. He gave his G-rated two cents basketball take for the millionth time. Pretty sure whatever he said, you would have attempted to spin it like he was “scared a little.”

[Rummpd]

Ok whatever go Nuggets beat LaRoid and DaQuit.

Marks (alone) agrees

Do it Nuggets

[LkrFan]

Nuggets got this.

Spurs in 8! :lmao

[Rummpd]

Not a good start but hopefully early

[Spurtacular]

LeDouche is the all-time leader in cries. I hope that bitch goes down.

[Spurtacular]

Tired of hearing about how Soft Davis doesn't want to play the 5. Nigga is 6'11" and only a 32 3FG shooter.

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[Spurtacular]

Watching the Lakers little white cucky bitch boy is more upsetting than watching Lebron even.

[GB20]

The refs is taking over now.

[SuperCam]

can't believe some of you LeKang haters thought this Nuggs team actually had a chance of stopping him :lol

[Spurtacular]

The Lakers are just allowed to hack the shit out of people. Predictable.

[Spurtacular]

The refs is taking over now.

T'd up Murray for yelling at the refs and not Howard for directly talking trash after the block (supposed to be an automatic T).

[GB20]

That was an offensive foul on lebron.

About to tune out. Got sh** to do and don't need to watch this bull sh** all night.

[GB20]

About to tune out. Got sh** to do and don't need to watch this bull sh** all night.
These fucking refs are ruining the game man.

[Bynumite]

Nuggets offense without Jokic. Just have Murray take tough contested jumpers :lol

[Spurtacular]

A team featuring Millsap this much is overachieving if they're in a conference finals, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

These fucking refs are ruining the game man.

Yup. I stepped out for two minutes and it was a thirteen point swing. Only caught the tail end of the presumable bull shit.

[SuperCam]

LeGOAT haters whining about the refs for four straight 30 point blowouts :lmao

[RD2191]

:lolLaker refs coming in clutch, pathetic.

[GB20]

Wow!! That was an offensive foul on lebron

[daslicer]

:lolLaker refs coming in clutch, pathetic.

The bs and 1 calls Lebron were super blatant.

[Arcadian]

Whatever happens, at least those faggot Warriors aren't around anymore. Let us be grateful for that.

[Spurtacular]

Paul George is Rudy gay with more field goal attempts

:lol

[140]

25fts in a quarter :lmao

[GB20]

25 free throws in one quarter? Are you kidding me!!

[Spurtacular]

25fts in a quarter :lmao

Serious?

I caught the tail end of final replay of Davis clanking an easy dunk and getting bailed out with FTs.

[Bynumite]

Didn't see all this whining when Harden was shooting more FTs than the entire Lakers team combined in the 2nd round.

[Spurtacular]

Lakers with 70 points in the half on 44 FG%

Just give these fuckers their fake rings and let's all get on with our lives.

[Kawhitstorm]

25fts in a quarter :lmao

Caruso already with more FTAs than Pandemic P/Kachoke combined :lmao

[Spurtacular]

Caruso already with more FTAs than Pandemic P/Kachoke combined :lmao

Lakers hacking the shit out of the Nuggets and the Nuggets are the ones with their top three players sitting on the bench with three fouls a piece at the end of the half.

[phxspurfan]

literally every time I try to sit down and watch the NBA it's the worst theatre ever. Literally every break being handed to the Lakers. Even random loose balls the refs wait a second and think, oh this benefits the Lakers. *whistle*

[Bynumite]

"Clippers are not walking through that door."

[Capt Bringdown]

32 -16 FT advantage. I knew LakerRef would play a big role in this series, but this is like watching the WWE. NBA really wants Bron to ring, huh?

[Spurtacular]

Glad I didn't watch the third quarter.

The Lakers are an old and slow team that can't play with sustained pace.

That's the real point of all these whistles.

[Laker_1995]

Nobody complained when Kawahi got those FTs whenever he would scream or Lou. But when Dwight and AD attack the Paint and get calls it’s rigged lol

[Killakobe81]

We are bigger and more physical...
Plus instead of lemon pepper Louis coming in to brick 3s and flop on defense..

Playoff Rondo throwing lobs and beating Micheal porter Jr off the bounce ti the hoop

[AlexJones]

Lakers in 5 and easily win the title. You just can't trust the underlying metrics when it comes to lebron teams (2015 Cavs, 2017 Cavs, 2018 Cavs)-- he just finds a way no matter what to humiliate the competition. We were all dead wrong on the Clippers being better than this team.

[Capt Bringdown]

3rd Quarter was a breeze compared to the second. In the 2nd the Lakers shot what, 25 FTs? Memo was delivered.

[Robz4000]

:lol figured the refs would go nuts in this series

[Capt Bringdown]

Apropos that TNT is blitzing WWE ads during this game.

[Bynumite]

Can't believe the clippers choked a 3-1 lead to this team :lol

The cute cinderella story is coming to an end. Lakers didn't even give the Nuggets the feel out game 1. Series is over, the San Antonio Nuggets bandwagon was a short-lived one.

[Capt Bringdown]

Danny Green sure knows how to score when his scoring isn't needed.

The Heat are what the Cripples were supposed to be b/c they actually have a two-way big thus a better team. Davis has been having it his way b/c none of the teams he has gone up against have had a fleet footed big like Bam.

[Spurtacular]

:lol those same Clippers blew out the Nuggets in game one as well. Lets see if the calls stay this ridiculous in game two.

[LkrFan]

25fts in a quarter :lmao

You farmers box score watching? They were fouling. Joker should have fouled out early in the 3rd quarter but the refs swallowed their whistles.

[LkrFan]

Were there not legit fouls?

Scott Foster and Tony Brothers

Scott Foster and Tony Brothers

[Texas_Ranger]

its clear as day the nba wants the lakers-celtics finals, as miami is also being fucked by the refs. Illegal streams dont make them money, so they think it's the 70's and everyone wants those 2 teams in the finals.

Lakers-Celtics wouldn't get as big of rating as they believe it would. It did during the 80's because of the star power with Bird-Magic and got decent ratings in '08 due to Kobe vs KG-Ray-Pierce. Celtics have no big name stars to generate attention. Tatum isn't there yet maybe in a few years.

[i'm_still_beta]

Game summary
Nuggets were good before Lakersref gave Jokic 2 straight bullshit fouls on Howard. Nuggets stood no chance with Mason Plumber on the court. Then ref gave another bullshit foul to Jokic on Howard at the start of the 3rd quarter, his 4th. When LA had big lead, refs started to miss real fouls Jokic commited. Midnightpulp was right. NBA is a dog and pony show at this point. League would be so much better with competent officiating

Competent implies games aren't deliberately officiated in this manner.
Sadly, this has even caught on at the college ranks. Reffing for ratings / dollars works.
And if you're a purist and don't like it, well you can f*ck off is all. You're just not in the demo likely, anyways.

[Spurtacular]

Scott Foster and Tony Brothers



That’s all

Big time company men, tbh.

Scott Foster is top five. Tony Brothers is top fifteen if not top ten.

[LkrFan]

:lol 25 foodstamps in one quarter speaks enough Julio

:lol

Lakers have the superior big (AD) and were pounding them inside like the 2002 Lakers (Shaq) used to do. Like the 2002 Queens (Vlade), the 2020 Nuggs big man (Joker) is a highly skilled, nice passer, but soft Euro big man who can't defend without fouling (should have fouled out by the 3rd quarter but the refs swallowed their whistles).

Pounding teams down low ain't always pretty like shooting 3s, etc., from the perimeter. But it is effective. Draws fouls (which makes players not defend as hard for fear of foul trouble) and makes those jump shots harder to make in the 4th quarter due to tired legs (from playing so much post defense all game). This happened in 2002 vs the Queens (Peja couldn't hit the broad side of your barn in the 4th, remember :lol) while the Lakers slowed the game down, pounded them down low, and paraded to the free throw line. Conspiracy theorists say the 2002 Queens were robbed but don't believe them son. :lol

So I'll answer my own question. Yes, they were legit fouls. Analytics didn't tell them to learn how to play post defense without fouling. They lost a "road game" reffed by Scott Foster. Blew a golden opportunity :lol

AD is the real MVP snub :wow

Fan opinion changes like the wind. AD was a gutless wimp after game 1 against Houston when he couldn't score on midget Tucker in the low post.

Well put. The NBA's future is overseas. Established brands/rivalries ("Lakers vs Celtics - AGAIN! - LeBron - THE KING") and simple narratives ("Greatest EVER!" "SuperTeam vs SuperTeam) are used to sell the product in markets that don't have a BBall history or culture.
In this series, apparently its the "Lakers are more physical" narrative which allows the Lakers to maul with impunity whilst receiving kid glove treatment going the opposite way.
Imagine Bron and Davis on the bench with 3 fouls at the half and Denver shooting 25 FTs in a quarter - notgonnahappen, even though LBJ commits an offensive foul every time he drives to the basket.

Guys like Lebron would've struggled shooting 42 FG from the field and averaging under 20 PPG in the 70's.

Of course, without the steroids he'd have been not made it to his late 30's anyways.

Crazy thing about Bron is the myth-making started in high school.

Even crazier to think how much Bron's legacy owes to Manu's game 6 fuckups.

They had to keep the Spurs out of the Finals in 12 to get Lebron a ring. If not for that, 13 would've probably been old hat and no ring for Lebron then either.
16 They had to fake suspend Donkey. Lebron would be 0-9 in the Finals if not for all that. :lol

Rasheed called out the rigging to get Lebron in the 07 Finals and he said "and well look what happened" (the sweep :lol)

Can answer my question in part. Saw a replay of Howard initiating a wrestling match with Jokic and dragging him down and a foul was called on Jokic.
Total joke. Lakers did this sh** with Rick Fox back in the day and refs were happy to play along. Howard is a f*cking scrub at this point. He should be getting no calls like that.

Refs against Lakers so far. Still up 10

Davis takes a low percentage shot. No prob. LakerRef has your back.

[daslicer]

Dozer gave the game away with his free throw misses.

[Robz4000]

:lol Jokic took Davis to the woodshed on det one

[Robz4000]

Welp, great shot by Davis. Lakers gonna win the series with that.

Mason Plumlee's man. If I was Jokic I would demand that bum is gone this offseason.

[Robz4000]

Then favour returned.

Jokic wasn't guarding Davis there.

[TimDunkem]

Seriously, as Mason Plumlee, your only fucking skill is defense and only damn job is to stick with Anthony Davis for 2 seconds and win the game. He couldn't even do that. :lmao

[Bynumite]

"Shhhhh."

[Bill_Brasky]

AD is da truf.

He would be the GOAT PF by now. What a monster :worthy:

That was awful D by Plumlee, but your 4/5 hitting a catch and shoot 3 buzzer beater? Too good...

Maybe. Depends on the player and his own personal history with playoff choking or clutch play. Certainly if they had lost the two games, there’d be more heat on his ass. But they won both games. Criticism won’t be nearly as sharp about individual stats when the team wins. Remember 6-for-24? Non Laker fans destroyed Kobe for it. But that was just the fans. The media mentioned it as a side note while talking about his rebounding and 10 or whatever it was 4th quarter points and his competitiveness to will his team to victory. Lol media narratives are not new.

Of course the media has an agenda. Why would you be surprised by that? Warning, the media also talks up Yankees-Red Sox even when one of the teams sucks donkey balls, and they’ll have a hard-on over 50 year old Tom Brady even as he walks thru the tunnel of irrelevancy.

Shit is not new. Shit should not surprise you.

Hell no. Shaq cost Kobe many accolades and adoration thru his sheer jealousy of Kobe. Not to mention 3 more rangs (hell, Kobe won 2 more with Pau; imagine if he had a motivated in shape Shaq for a few more years).

I really like the culture of this team. The chemistry is thru the roof (compare that to the Clipps for example). Bron leads the way here. Followed by AD. The rest falls in line.

And KD sed Bron's teams are toxic :lol Did you see the pure joy and love they had for AD last night? They mobbed him. You love to see it :toast

I have to agree with him on Dwight. Dwight is a punk and a front runner. He bitched and complained when KG/Perk used to rough him up with the Celtic. Now he's doing the same stuff to Jokic. Not a fan of hypocrites and front runners and that's what Dwight is.

When Boogie went down Dwert stepped in and saved the Lakers season. I got a lot of respect for Dwert. He's brought a physicality that would have been needed vs Clipps, Jazz, Greek Freak or Miami. The 3headed monster (McGee/Dwert in 1st 3 qtrs and AD in 4th) should be unleashed on Joker in game 3.

I hope Vogel starts Dwert in game 3. Him and AD in tandem are tough to score on.

So no screen and Plumlee could have kept following Davis, but Grant should have just left LeBRON JAMES with a straight line cut to the basket in a one point game with 2 seconds? Ummmokay... a dunk wins the game too.

Plumlee either had a brain fart, had money on the game, or is secretly in love with Anthony Davis because he for sure was the one who fucked up.

Shaq got you three rings after a 11 year hiatus which I think is the longest the lakers have gone without a ring since like the 60s. And he was your least favourite of the four? What kind of fan are you?
