11sanchez11 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Suns were playing lineups that hadn't played a single minute together and still won 2 gms, going out sad Lakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 What a great win from the Nuggets. KCP was big time in that 3rd qtr. Murray carried in the 1h and Jokic closed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Not even an excuse, but there was no way the Lakers were winning this series with a hurt Bron. Even if he was fully healthy I kinda doubt they're able to take it, but at least it would be more interesting. Well thankfully there is the Haney and Lomachenko fight to take my mind off this series.

Mox Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 It's been so fun watching Jokic hater excuses go out the window all postseason. We're essentially down to the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifference Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Jokic is the best player in the world dude had a bad shooting game and was still sound defensively and continued to make the right reads. Lakers need to get healthy + add a backup C next year. Not far from being a complete team imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I don't wanna call them pretenders necessarily, but I knew the Lakers were the 4th best team in the West. They just got lucky with the bracket. Grizzlies and Warriors were the 2 worst road teams all year, Grizzlies were also injured. The 2 best teams in the West were the Nuggets and Suns.

Spartica4Real Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'm starting to get a little jealous of my fellow longtime FFers who are starting to see their previously hapless teams win titles or make Finals like @beekay414 @Pugger and co with the Bucks and now @RandyMossIsBoss @champ11and co with the Nuggets. When's it gonna be my turn man lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Book has to go superhuman to not get gentleman’s swept. Nuggs are a juggernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Who's getting the Magic Johnson MVP, Jokic or Murray? Jokic dominated game 1 and was great in game 2 (+in the 4th for game 3) but the narrative is all about Murray right now and he's been scorching.

lomaxgrUK Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 So much praise to go around. Those AG minutes at Center in the 3rd were HUGE. Some big boy rebounds and iso Defense on AD. MPJ, who I've been critical of a lot, was fantastic in literally every aspect of his game. The assists, what the hell?!?!? And yeh, as others have said, the KCP buckets in the 3rd without Nikola were so timely. Not done yet, but the steely determination of this squad has me very confident that's for sure.

Kip Smithers Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Jamal’s game is so smooth. Didn’t expect Denver to be this sound defensively through these 3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue that Bruce Brown has been the 3rd best nuggets player this postseason. You need 2 superstars to play like superstars in todays NBA and Jokic and Murray have been delivering. But Browns ability to make plays without the ball in his hands (cutting to the basket, getting rebounds, really solid defense) has allowed the rest of the team to stay in the flow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
