Awesome run by the Nuggets, but it will end against the Lakers. No way Joker is going to be effective playing flat footed against Anthony Davis. I do expect Murray to have a good series though.

Head-to-Head this season: Lakers 3 Nuggets 1
Davis: 29.3 ppg 9.3 rpg 2.3 apg 1.3 spg 2.3 bpg
Joker: 16.3 ppg 5.8 rpg 5.8 apg 2.0 spg 0.5 bpg

Also the Lakers can throw bodies at him. Dwight Howard really gave him problems this year. Then you have McGee. Not about them being great players, but they are athletic/big and can use 12 fouls, let AD pick/choose spots to defend him.

Only thing I'll say is out of all the teams in the Playoffs, the Nuggets benefited the most from Covid layoff because Jokic got into proper shape/lost horrible weight. That's been a huge factor for them.

Also kudos to Michael Porter Jr for saying what he did after they went down 3-1. He took a lot of **** for speaking honestly about basketball, (all he stated was the team needed to move the ball more and not just rely on Murray/Jokic to carry them) and while it was the case that those 2 were leading, it was also important that other guys stepped up in Games 5/6 to get this to Game 7.

That was right around Joker's avg during the season (17+) but playoff Joker has been different.

Cal has to be selling these 2021 and 2022 kids on all his former UK players doing so well in the playoffs! Let’s hope all of our former guys keep turning it up a notch! So happy for Murray and Bam! BBN got serious run last night

And there were tons of post by old prunes on here saying the NBA was nothing to watch, too political, can't get into it, all I gotta say is hope they enjoy sitting on their porches waiting to pee again.
