It’s not shocking at all that the wolves are up on the Lakers cause they can exploit them so easily and Randle has also finally been having a good playoff series as well. He was one of my X factors going in cause if he was playing bad the Lakers are up 3-1 right now instead. The nuggets also have no defense either really sadly. The playoffs have been entertaining and I feel this nuggets clippers series is going 7 and I don’t know who’ll win 😅 but whoever does will probably have the best chance to steal a game in OKC game 1 cause Shai didn’t look great last time he had a lot of rest in his first game back.
Strawther can at least get his own shot- I don’t hate the idea of him playing. I think Nnaji and Straw need minutes if MPJ and Russ are out. Nnaji has the BEST defensive rating on the team for a reason. He’s our best perimeter defender, and we’re getting wrecked on the perimeter.
Have you noticed the media is not talking about nuggets ,they really don’t want jokic to win
Ryan what do you think of adelman? I don't think he can coach this team. I think they need a new coach that can make new plays for the team.
Bro the nuggets need set their feet and take some charges on Leonard and harden to slow them down I’ve seen 0 attempts this series. No doubt they would flip the script
I was at the game and I feel like it is even more obvious in person how hard MPJ is trying not to use that arm (or incapable of using it). He's babying it for sure. Protecting it when he's running. I can remember one specific rebound that he missed bc he used one arm and couldn't get to it. He's VERY limited. I rewatched it on tv and it doesn't seem as glaring.
