2020 Western Conference Finals: (3) Denver Nuggets vs. (1) Los Angeles Lakers

[cima]

Lakers in 4 or 5 if they decide to make Game 1 a feel-out game again.

Times in the graphic are Pacific time zone

Lots of mismatches for Denver. I don't know who they have that could slow down AD or Bron. But Nuggets had mismatches with LAC too and they came out alive.

Betting side tells me Lakers in 6.
2020 tells me its Nuggets in 6.

Just give me a good series.

The Lakers biggest advantage in this series IMO is AD can matchup on Jokic without help. McGee and Howard can too, so I expect the big lineup to return, at least initially. Jokic could/should abuse McGee the most when he's in there. In crunch time though I expect AD at the 5 and him disrupting Jokic.

They've also slowed down and made life incredibly difficult for Dame, CJ, Harden, and Westbrook. Unless you think Murray is significantly better than all of those guys, I don't see why it won't happen again. I don't have the shooting stats in front of me but I imagine Murray shoots the most mid-range jumpers out of those guys so that might present a new challenge at first.

Finally, the Nuggets have no rim protection and the Lakers feast in the paint.

This is why I believe this series won't be very good or competitive like people are hoping. The Lakers have the 2 best players left in the bubble and that will ultimately be the difference.

4:30 start time on Sunday? I understand why but damn. I’ll be going back and forth between this and Ravens/Chiefs.

Don’t care who wins though, I’m just here for silliness.

That's from the Lakers website bro, those are Pacific times

[ProfessaPackMan]

You would give us west coast times instead, lol

What I want is total chaos, which would be Nuggets in 7.

However being reasonable, it should be the Lakers in 5.

If somehow the Lakers blow this, the blame will be placed on players like Kuzma, Green, Howard, KCP and Caruso not being good enough "help."
