Lakers not going up against an injured team or a team that doesn’t have Jordan poole and Klay Thompson on it

Idk who gone win this series but it's going at least 6 - 7 games. Denver alone is dangerous because of Jokic, Murray, & MPJ. The Lakers on the other hand is like gangbusters on D and they got a 38 yr LeBron that hasn't slowed down very much along w/AD whose a problem.

Imo, this gone be real test for Denver because I don't think the Lakers were expected to even go as far as they did. The Nuggets washed the Timberwolves in the 1st round and the Suns even w/KD had lost CP3 due to injury, Ayton playing like shit, & they had no bench. Denver so far as coasted through the playoffs.

Us in 6.

Let Jokic go crazy limit the playmaking. They haven’t played a defense fucking with ours yet.

Put Murray in the Vando vault and don’t leave shooters.

If Joker averages 38 points so be it.

And I expect to drop game 1 but if we don’t tho…. OH BOY

 

[BDBIID]

Fast forward two weeks niggas will be crying Joker had no help

 

[Mister B.]

Lakers gonna make it harder than it should be, but I can see them going down 0-2, then reeling off four straight.

Lakers in 6.

Yeah but I’m a hater lol

 

[Ethos]

I got Lakers in 6. But they win this get a nice $600 pay check. Bet them to win west lil after trade deadline at +1200. Dropped $50

 

[Dwayne]

I see LA high pick and roll Jokic to death and force them to rotate hard majority of the game.

Players like Reeves, DLo, Dennis, and LBJ to hit that open shot when one them is handling the ball. Because they will crash down hard on AD

 

[Gray Matter]

Denver in 6.

They are the better team. But honestly, I don't fully trust them.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I say Denver, but who knows. At the very least, I know they aren't a team that's going to live and die by the threat just like LA isn't limited to that, so it should be interesting.
