So you are saying Lebron at 39 years old is BETTER than Anthony Davis? Damn Bron must be goat then.

[tpols]

People always shit on AD but the dude literally averages Hakeem or Kareem numbers in his entire playoff career.

You guys have shit on AD all the time. There's really nothing more he can do. Unless you want him to average 50 a game.

[ShawkFactory]

He and Bron have both played very well. Problem is that the role players have not pulled their weight at all and Denver is way too good of a team for that to be the case.

Reaves was pretty good last night but he Russell, Rui, Prince, and the others have been very poor. Nuggets size is really bothering them.

As things are they probably could beat 26-27 of teams but Denver isn’t one of them.

This is obvious to anyone, but it's no fun letting logic get in the way of an agenda.

After all this time you still don't get it, smh

AD's gaudy numbers mean nothing within an inferior brand of ball, and this inferior brand of ball and chemistry also hinders role player performance..

2 decades of Bron-ball and you don't know what to expect??.. still blaming it on needing more help?..

Lmao

Lebron literally lowers teammates ' assists and increases their assisted rate (turns them into spot-up shooter)... How can that brand win??. It doesn't - it mostly loses with every cast

[StrongLurk]

The Nuggets have really only won by massively outrebounding the Lakers and killing them in the clutch. That's literally it. This has not been a series determined solely by the two best players on each team. These nuggets/lakers matchups have been really battles at the "edges" of team ball, coaching, and clutch play.

I mean, the Nuggets should have not won game 2 at all. Lakers had a 96% chance at winning that game, so literally the Lakers would've won 24 out of 25 scenarios in game 2.

Lakers have lost 7 in a row to the Nugs in the playoffs, but the matchups are very close and based on stats, Lakers really should have won at least 2 of these 7 games, but hey that's why sports are so great. Hype and statistical percentages don't matter. What matters is what happens on the court.

Yea by and large the offense has been fine. They’re moving the ball and playing smart. DLo can’t go off platform unless he’s hitting and he hasn’t been. I like Rui but he is completely overmatched in this series. Ham needs to figure out something else to do with him or bench him.

Someone like Vanderbilt could have been so useful to matchup with the size.

Are you tired yet of making the exact same excuses every year

Lebron's role players always play bad per his brand of ball - it's standard per his brand of ball

To sit there and type the same tired excuses... to act like Aaron Gordon wasn't once a complete REJECT - but role players look great in a great brand of ball and developed chemistry.. I guess your brain isn't capable of handling this concept

[90sgoat]

Empty stats?

AD just doesn't have the impact that his stats suggest and he can't guard Jokic at all, too small, not physical enough.

He's also more of a play finisher than a play maker.

[ShawkFactory]

Gordon isn’t really a different player than he was 5 years ago. He’s just asked to do different things and his skill set is valuable for a 3rd or 4th guy on a great team. Size/rebounding/defense/finishing. He’s flourishing because he can focus on the things he’s good at and not be asked to do more.

But that's what chemistry does.

What would Aaron Gordon be on the Lakers? He was a nobody before he came to Denver outside a dunk contest, and he can't shoot at all. He'd be seen as a bum on LA but with denvers ball movement offense and chemistry he looks like a star. And on the flip side Dlo would probably look like Jamal Murray junior with Yolk constantly setting picks for him and setting him up.

The chemistry and teamwork is winning Denver this shit. Jokic is egoless and he's constantly quarterbacking "the other guys" perfectly and not just spamming kickouts for 3s.
