Lebron beat a gsw team with a 73-9 record best team in nba history! Don’t think Denver better than that team .. they just can’t turn the ball over and they need to make shots harder for joker and shut down the rest of the team.. Lebron and the Lakers know what they gotta do .. the last time lakers vs Denver they wasn’t playing like they are now.
I think people are underestimating the Lakers big time. The Nuggets have beat the Lakers but the games are always close to the end. A few plays here and there and it’s a different conversation.
All these comments writing off the lakers must be casual fans. We've been deadly since the trade deadline. This team remembers last year very well, and the core is intact, time will show
@projectchantalson831 if that happens the nba is fixed I really would believe that after the in season tournament the Lakers played like crap all the way to the end of the season the Lakers are not better than the Nuggets in a series one and done anything can happen
It's funny how we see this matchup as favorable for the Nuggets when reality is this is not a good first round matchup for the Nuggets. We can talk about how the Nuggets have beaten the Lakers 8 straight games. It isn't going to matter much because at some point the Lakers will beat them and no better time now than the Playoffs against Lebron who is a little more healthy this time around and AD is having a good season. It would have been better if the Nuggets played New Orleans, Sacramento, or even Golden State in the first round as opposed to the Lakers who has good size to matchup with them. The pressure is more on the Nuggets who are the defending champs. I am glad the Lakers did not lose the game to New Orleans even though the matchup would have been favorable against the Thunder. The Lakers have been playing good basketball lately and it forces them to take the Nuggets seriously as there is very little margin of errors they can make. It would not be a upset if the Lakers win this series. It was not an upset when they beat Memphis last year as they were the 2nd seed and Lakers were the 7th seed.
Lakers issue against the nuggets is that they didn’t have enough scoring outside of bron a few role players. this team has gabe, a better DLO, better Austin and Rui. Dinviddie. This will be a different series. Denver lost role players that hit big shots last year. You can’t overlook the lakers and bron.
I just rewatched the lakers vs nuggets game feb 8th And this is what I noticed
80% of the time whenever we switched on defense,( instead of trapping murray or jokic) it was a bad possession for nuggets. Murray would try to thread the pass, Prince stole it couple of times. Prince even blocked jokic on top of the key from the back. When we switched. Lebron stay on MPj and dlo be discipline and stay on KCP. If jokic sets the pick for jamal, rui should switch to Murray, allow him to go one one over ruis outstretched arms.Trust me I counted 11 of such possessions. He Made went 3/9. Its when we trap them and try to rotate to the shooters, they have us looking silly cuz They r such great passes. We switch on defense, we win easily.
When they did the same switching defense on us, we had bad possessions too. But they switched a lot more than us. On many switching possessions, Lebron was caught offensively backing down murray.. we are actually more effiecing beating the swtich the switch then they are. Way more.
There was a play w austin Ad pnr. They switched it. Jokic ended up on austin. And christian brown was on ad. Easy score.
Will jamal and jokic score on some mismatched, sure..but trust me, it's better than getting 3s rained on us.
Question: How many denver starters or players creates offense effectively for them?
Jamal and Jokic. 95% reggie Jackson 4% off the bench. Christian Braun 1%.
All The lakers starting 5 creates offense. Ad w his post up. Reaves w his pnr. Dlo w pnr. Rui w his post ups. Lebron w his post up, pnr.
That switching defense affects denver way more than it affects the lakers.
And that's poor offense for denver when they go one on one.. jokic sets the pic for murray, rui should switch to murray. Leaving austin on jokic on top of the key. Everyone stays home on their shooters. This will be their most effective offense and trust me it, it's not a great offense for them.
It's when we trap murray or jokic that's when they carve us up.

AD was not terrific last night. He shot the ball horribly. He got his numbers but it wasn’t a great night for him
Jokic already called for 3 fouls.
They Acting like The Nuggets are Unbeatable.
Legler is looking weirder and weirder by the season
Nuggets win , no sweep💫
Lakers avoiding sweept?? That should be the topic. Lakers are trash people coming from a LAL fan.

Lakers will only win with the help of the Refs 😮 Typical to keep the Lakers relevant.
"Nuggets should be afraid of LeBron'', but they not🤣
I miss mike & mike in the morning
It’s gonna be a good series but Davis can’t stop jokic , he couldn’t even slow down Zion , lakers will lose

Denver is not unbeatable. Far from it.

Ad w his post up.
Reaves w his pnr.
Dlo w pnr.
Rui w his post ups.
Lebron w his post up, pnr.
