@@osvaldoespino1950Thin line between winning and losing in the NBA. Especially at this level. Lakers can play with them but they need some other guys (like DLo) to be better at crunch time. Dinwiddie also gives them a bigger body they can put on Murray at times. And if Vando is available, that adds another dimension. Maybe Denver is better.

@BlueGrovyle Ай бұрын

Just cuz he was shooting a lot doesn't mean he was hogging. What is he supposed to do when the coach isn't drawing up plays? They were gassed and weren't cutting or creating advantages, and when another player got the ball they'd just give it right back.

@kwame717 Ай бұрын

They attempt about the fewest 3s in the league and foul less on defense. That will help your free throw differential. Refs been horrible after the all star game. If anything I see refs miss very obvious calls on all teams and if the lakers were not getting fouled, the coaches have challenges if they weren’t getting fouled

Lakers have a real shot. I think it will come down to the wire this year because Lebron is healthy + more rest days between games in first round. And also Denver doesn’t have Bruce brown off the bench who was playing like a 6MOTY in the playoffs. Also Lakers have Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent who can defend Jamal better than Schroeder. He won’t be dropping 30/6/5 on 50/40/90 against those guys that I can assure you
