What they really meant was that they didn’t see Denver go nuts the way they did against LA last year. Jamal Murray, as great as he was late in games, was just his average self this series. He wasn’t the super hero he was last year, but everyone expected him to be. Jokic was Jokic. The Denver bench was as bad if not worse than the LA bench. Denver played as well as they could against a tough opponent. I expect their time against the wolves to be a little smoother.

    I feel the issue is more in defence I don’t feel lakers is good enough in defence, they all good players going forward but if you can’t stop oppositions in defence and you almost always get a 2/3 pt against you unless the opposition makes individual mistakes!

    LeBron is next to another top 10 player in AD. Jokic does not. You can argue Ant is in the top 10 this season but KAT and Gobert are not. How much more help does LeBron need?

      we going to ignore the team around these guys? Lebron and AD outplayed Jokic and Jamal. But they couldn't make up for MPJ or aaron gordon with the inconsistency of their other starters.

    Lakers had enough talent to win this and at times looked like the better team. They just choked and didn't get it done when it mattered. Reminds me of the Baltimore Ravens the past couple years.
