- When guarded by Howard, Jokic needs to go outside the paint and hit 3 point shots. He would spread the floor, and take Howard out of rotation
- Nuggets must adjust to officiating being biased towards Lakers
- Double team AD, he is poor passer and can push Lakers to commit turnovers.
- Shut down Danny Green 3 pointers
- Stop Lebron

There are no adjustment the Nuggets or the other two remaining teams can make to beat the Lakers if the Lakers play anywhere near their best basketball.

Nuggets adjustments worked wonders vs Clippers & Jazz.

Dwight’s got decent perimeter mobility. Also neither grant or millsap are good options on bron

Two teams that are inferior to the Lakers.

Not Clippers. Utah maybe, they were without Bogdanovic.
Will Barton is missed.

Almost all of your bullet points are not actionable or just straight up braindead :lol
AD is actually a good passer the past 3 years he has really developed on that front.

Find a miracle drug that makes his players bigger, longer and more athletic.

Yes, the Clippers. Since they pulled a choke job of biblical proportions, now their rivalry with the Lakers will have to be known as one where they lost two of their most recent meetings.

Adjustments include:
Make Murray 6'9
Make Jokic take HGH and become Dwight Howard on the defensive end
Give a brain to Michael Porter Retard
Make Millsap 10 years younger and 2 inches taller and 40% stronger and faster.

Howard athletically is going to out muscle and run jokic. The strategy between both bigs is to see who can frustrate the other first.
If a team can time the double team on AD hes turnover prone but he also has pgs that can get him the ball.
Danny green when engaged offensively will rebound hit 3s and even do his floater. Cant really shut down roleplayers that play hard defense.
Lebron plays possum. He actually gets stronger each game in a series.
Grant is not experienced enough or strong and milsap is too slow. Wilson Chandler nuggets version would have been a good defender to throw at lebron

go off offensively, aka shock the Lakers with a big lead that forces some adjustments
they don't have to worry about adjusting their defense if they can mount a superior attack themselves... the superior attack wears out LA, which dampens LA's capacity to attack/go off.. ultimately, the best defense is a good offense

Wow, that is great insight. I hadn't looked at it that way. You know what would be an amazing adjustment as well? Win 4 out of the 7 games. Genius!

Start MPJ
Double LeBron like crazy and hope the Lakers shooters have a cold night
Maybe throw in a little zone defense to try and throw off the Lakers offense

Just make sure they have a lead when the buzzer sounds. That's literally it. It's so simple.

How would it take Dwight out of the rotation if Jokic never stepped below the arc in the offensive halfcourt?

If they start mph offense becomes more dynamic but hes not ready to be a two way guy. He will score 10 points that quarter and give 12 to 15.
Nuggets have the trajectory to be like what boston has become and better. They're not gonna outrebound the lakers or outmuscled them. Theres some match up deficiencies that wont go away.

Whoa wait... We're talking about improving the Nuggets chances, not turn them into chokers.
Kawhi was 1/11 in the second half of game 7
Nuggets don't need that
