Lakers in 4.
Printable View
Lakers in 4.
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.
Lakers lose game 1 in a feel out situation like last two rounds then backdoor sweep per usual
Nuggets in 6. Lakers ain't shit.
Nuggets in 7 after the L:lolkers blow a 3-1 lead.
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.Quote:

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.
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!Quote:

Not limiting him, but wearing him outQuote:

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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Nuggz in 7, and only bc refs will hand Lakers 3 games on a Silver platter
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.
Nuggets are playing well
Paul George was more concerned about social justice then game
What about lakers ?
Paul George is Rudy gay with more field goal attempts
You got DaQuit how can you root for that franchise destroyer?Quote:

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

This is well written and fair

LBJ scared a little?
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...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.”Quote:

Improbable but possible!
Nuggets got this.

Marks (alone) agrees
Do it Nuggets
Spurs in 8! :lmaoQuote:

Tired of hearing about how Soft Davis doesn't want to play the 5. Nigga is 6'11" and only a 32 3FG shooter.
:wakeup
Watching the Lakers little white cucky bitch boy is more upsetting than watching Lebron even.
The refs is taking over now.
can't believe some of you LeKang haters thought this Nuggs team actually had a chance of stopping him :lol
The Lakers are just allowed to hack the shit out of people. Predictable.
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).Quote:

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

Didn't see all this whining when Harden was shooting more FTs than the entire Lakers team combined in the 2nd round.
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.
Caruso already with more FTAs than Pandemic P/Kachoke combined :lmaoQuote:

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?Quote:

That's the real point of all these whistles.
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
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
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.
3rd Quarter was a breeze compared to the second. In the 2nd the Lakers shot what, 25 FTs? Memo was delivered.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
