Guys we are fine, LeBron cant drag that series more than 6 at best. They gonna win 1 for sure just by Reggie factor. Maximum 2 if they shoot lights out from 3 and we choke. That's it.

Lakers have 25+ FTAs in every win, and have nothing to lose. We got our work cut out for us. Lakers have a major revenge factor too. They're going to play their asses off Game 1 to try to steal it. Nuggets better be ready for a very physical series. Path is looking like: AD/Lebron, KD/Beal/Booker, Luka/Kyrie, Celtics. Fun times. Seems impossible but Jokic/Murray we trust.

Looked like the same old late game team to me. Lebron air balls, poor transition defense. Can’t wait for the last 4 minutes of every game

Willie Green, should have challenged that foul with 14 seconds left that sent AD to the free throw line

Sorry, this series has a huge chance to go 7. Refs won’t let LeBron be eliminated two years in a row on his home floor.

Nuggets have to play their game and the rest will take care of itself.

Why is that impossible? Jokic/Murray swept Lebron/AD last year, beat the Suns by 30 in a close out game away, Luke/Kyrie didn't even make the playoffs last year, and Jokic/Murray are 2-0 in playoff intensity games vs Boston this year. The Nuggets should fear no one. Where as everyone else is literally terrified of Denver and peak Jokic playing like a top 5 all-timer.

Boston won 64 games. It's an infinitely tougher path than last year. AD/Lebron will be much fresher than last year. It's not going to be an easy series. AG/CB are going to have to have phenomenal defensive series. It's a bad matchup for Watson as he has no strength to guard Lebron.

But this is not going 7 if nugs are healthy.

As long as our starting 5 is healthy and CB/Pwat are locked in i fear nobody. We are not going 16-4. Maybe we are not repeating this year but in general i fear nobody. I fear Reggie only.

lakers arent good, cant guard perimeter and are old. the only thing yall should be worried about is the refs, i have a bad feeling they will go hard this time more than last time.

I'm expecting Reaves and D'lo to get flukey hot from 3 and win them one game. but aside from that, the refs can't do much once we start spamming our NBA Jam lineup in crunch time and get a great look every possession.

Lakers had a +27 free throw differential in the 3 regular season games against us this year and a +26 in the playoff series last year and we won all 7 of those games.

Our series will be be tough but hopefully Dallas/clips, suns/wolves also beat each other up in a long series.
If we beat the lakers in 7 and the suns sweep minnesota, beating the suns is going to be impossible

Why do you think the lakers are better? Gabe Vincent? Prince? Instead of catching a tired Lakers team in WCF, we face them in first round. They are better than the worn down team we swept. They are fresher.
