There is nobody in the league that can stop Jokic

@MrBimirud Ай бұрын

Yes. But a question for all the 'ballers out there - isn't it possible to make a great player score 50 - 60 points? That's the only way the Lakers are beating the Nuggets. Make Jokic average 50, shut down his passing lanes and shut down everyone else. But if that's not possible, then yes - nobody in the league can stop Jokic.

The x factor going into the series is the Nuggets’ defense. I don’t think most people realize that the Nuggets had the 8th best defense in the league, which has a good chance of shooting up since the Nuggets are playoff risers. So not only are the Nuggets gonna get theirs, but the Lakers gonna have huge trouble getting theirs if the Nuggets’ defense do become a problem

I genuinely don't understand the "AD just has to match Jokic and LA will be in a great spot to win" Jokic is peaking as high as nearly any player we have ever seen and will go down as a top 10 player ever. AD is great, in absolutely no world is he that though. People think AD is a lot better offensively then he actually is in reality. In all the matchups against Denver he'll run into a stretch where he's like 2/7 and becomes inefficient offensively.

I want to hear about ant-mano and how far the Wolves will howl or how long the Thunder will last. And when it's all said and done and Boston raises the trophy. What do you think they will say?

@jplmedley Ай бұрын

no I agree - those games were all close last year. nuggets fans should not be complacent or premature. the lakers are a good team capable of causing trouble. anything can happen in a basketball series. as a nuggets fan, I think we should listen to jokic himself who says, this is a competitive matchup and requires everyone to play their best.

@nickfabrizio3288 Ай бұрын

The issue is the depth of the nuggets and how well the whole teams plays on defense and offense. If Anthony davis makes 25 shots it’s because the nuggets made him shoot thirty shots and he shot inefficiently. I’ll give the Lakers 1 game maybe two but it’s going to be really hard. Deangelo Russell can’t play in this matchup we know this he gets played off the court so who steps up in his place? Also Jokic and Murray and MPJ can combine for 85-90 points and AG 15-20 I don’t see the Lakers being able to score effectively down stretch

@Tekusake Ай бұрын

Lakers need to shut down the other guys, let Jokic score 40-50, keep letting him overexert himself one person, he won't be able to keep it up each game, he's still human. Overly focusing on Jokic will just give this monstrous superstar an easier time to elevate and activate his teammates, sharing the overall burden. A shared spread out burden is easier to recover from, than a heavy one on one person over and over again.

The Lakers strategy should be to make Joker work on defense. AD has to go at him hard, make him move and go through screens. AD has to outscore him period. On defense foul him hard at times with players like Hayes and other benchers. Make him a scorer and ONLY double in selective times of game. And, the big KEY is to focus on Murray. Don't let Murray go off. The Lakers will need Reaves, Vincent, Dinwiddie and others to stick on Murray. Single coverage and don't leave Porter as well as KCP. Make Gordon hit outside shots.
