Western Conference Finals: (1)Denver Nuggets vs (7)Los Angeles Lakers

[DamnYanks2]

Didn't like that settle by LeBron. Yea he can hit that. But you put no pressure on the defense. And let's face it he's not a great 3 pt shooter. Bailed out Denver on that possession.

Was just saying this. Keeping AD around the rim is exactly how they gave Memphis and GS trouble.

Was wondering how the Lakers would do that against them. Having Rui being able to somewhat (at least this game) give Joker some resistance is going to be invaluable because once Joker starts using his "muscle" to attempt to take advantage of the mismatch and get deep post position, it gives the defense (and specifically AD) time to come help. But now, no cutters and it's an easy recovery out to the three point line

Very smart. And I look forward to seeing what Malone does with this next game

This was always going to be this type of series.

Both these teams have been playing their best ball over the last few weeks for it to not be this close. Assuming no major injuries, I’d be shocked if the other games don’t follow this one(looks like a blowout but game is closer than the score suggests).

Wonder if DLo’s minutes are about to go down down down lol. Seems like a tough matchup for him.

I don't think Denver has as much of a predicament on their hands as JVG suggests.

Lakers shot almost 55% and went a crazy 23-26 from the line. Its like they played the best game they could and it still wasn't enough.

Denver just has to shore up Murray on defense and realize that keeping Gordon at the rim isn't going to work with AD on him. Honestly those aren't massive problems.

It doesn’t even have to be 4 shooters…just get Gordon out of the way lol. Put him at the top of the arc and make Davis help from up there where it’s just much harder to stop Jokic.

Lakers may have been figured out something there down the stretch. But good on Denver hanging on.

Idk I'm thinking Denver in 5. Lakers play like that and lose. Did they ever lead in this game? That's the most points they've given up in the playoffs thus far.
