    Paul Milsap couldn't guard LBJ 5 years ago, what makes you think he can guard LBJ now?

    Jerami Grant? Michael Porter Jr? Torrey Craig?

    Murray and Jokic are very talented players, no one is disputing that. But Denver is not equip to guard LBJ (or AD for that matter, esp when pick and roll comes into play). The one advantage the Clippers had was the ability to throw Kawhi, PG13, and maybe even Harrell at LBJ.

    Maybe the Lakers screw around and lose 1 game but this series should honestly be a sweep.

    They could very well easily lose to the Lakers. The first 3 games will give me an indication how this series is going to go. Either way I'm satisfied with the Nuggets taking out the Clippers. Anything else going forward would just be icing on the cake.

    The Nuggets will win by outscoring the Lakers. Water is wet. This won't be a defensive series.

    >Harrell guarding Lebron

    You lost all credibility with that statement

    Nuggets should just pack the paint and make the Lakers beat them by shooting. No inside scoring for either Lebron or Davis.

    One of my concerns would be Jokic getting into foul trouble when it comes to Davis and Lebron attacking the paint.

    LAL heavily favored and truly deserve to be but just praying the Nuggets take it somehow and someway over LaRoid, DaQuit and HOward and that obnoxious Rondo.

    Jokic doesn’t jump thus he won’t commit too many fouls at the rim, his issue is guarding in space thus the LeBrat/Davis PnR. Most likely, they will put Millsap on Davis & play zone which means Morris getting wide open corner 3s as Jokic will be zoning the paint.

    As inconsistent as the Lakers 3 point shooting has been I believe Green, KCP, Morris, and Kuzma will make the Nuggets pay if they "pack in the paint".

    Honestly, the Nugs would have had a solid chance if this was a real season, not two micro seasons. LeBron received the benefit of rest and plenty of time to fully cycle juice.

    Gift wrapped * ring.

    Depends a lot on which Lebron shows up. He has been looking faster and more spry in the playoffs than the regular season so far.
    Whatever he's been putting in his body has been working.

    Agree LaRoid and DaQuit will be very tough to beat but hoping there is a chance and putting small bet on Nuggets at a legal casino just in case miracle occurs. If Murray goes assassin and Jokic matches Davis they have a small chance.

    Lakers overconfident & Denver is higher than that time I ate 3 edibles cuz I wasn't feeling anything yet.
    You'd might think the Lakers thought they beat a real team the way they were carrying on vs Houston. LOL Harden...Westbrook.
    I don't imagine Joker's gonna hang on to the ball for 23 seconds and launch a desperation 3 ala Harden et al.

    Nuggz def have a chance. Lake show is some bad shooting games from being out of the playoffs entirely. This is what happens when you rely on LDN and Caruso as your main Others. That team desperately needs a Mike Miller/Ray Allen, tbh
