Who you got?

Jokic vs Davis will decide the series. Should be a fun one

[BarberSchool]

Will be interesting to see how Denver attacks Los Angeles transition D with frequent passing ahead.

And if Davis will be able to use his length, with Jokic in his body perpetually.

Also, will Denver play any zone ?

4 games at 5,200ft elevation, if needed.
LeBron’s EPO-enriched blood doesn’t like that elevation.
Expect some LeBron cramps, and other complications.

Denver in 6

Lakers in 6. Denver doesn't have the pieces to really stop anyone on the team. They made Book look like peak MJ, the Laker guards are going to feast.

[PP34Deuce]

Denver is more balanced and has aaron Gordon who can guard lebron woth a big athletic body.

Jokic should feast unless he gets in foul trouble

[ShawkFactory]

No idea. These two teams as currently constructed haven’t played and there are so many different ways it can go and adjustments that can and will be made.

I will say..Bron seems to be getting really comfortable in the role he’s playing and that’s scary for opposing team given the lakers overall talent.

But jokic.

I'm honestly in shock. I did not see us being in the WCF to be honest, even after the Westbrook trade.

[Keno]

I think Lakers, mainly AD, are going to love this match up compared to GSW

[SaltyMeatballs]

This one's gonna be a battle. I say Lakers in 7
