NBA Playoffs 2019-2020

Nuggets shouldve been up 2-1 sigh.

But they played well at home tonight.

Well actually, if the refs didn't decide to magically and absurdly give the Lakers 32 free-throws in the first half of Game 1, Nuggets playing defense in the last 2 seconds of Game 2...then they should be 3-0 lol.

Exactly. If LeBron is so great why does he always need so much help from the Refs?

every superstar enjoys special treatment not just James

I want a Nuggets/Celtics NBA Finals!! Jamal Murray vs Jayson Tatum is an explosive matchup.

Same thing for the Cs...but even worse.

And I would love a Tatum/Murray match-up. One is All-NBA Defense level player and one...is not.

Unless they are wearing a Celtics uniform. Then they get treated like a rookie by the refs.

Way 2020 going, Lakers will win it all

no they don't.

Interesting series/match-up.  The Lakers with the most minutes and corresponding (+/-) in game 3:

A. Davis   43 min  (+4)
LeBron     37 min  (+2)
Rondo      30 min  (-13)

The next group in the rotation by minutes:

Cald.-Pope  27 min  (-9)
Kuzma       26 min  (-3)
Caruso       25 min  (-6)
Green        20 min  (-3)

So you have one team with the two best players and the other team with maybe the next 5 best?  And Denver's top 1 (Jokic) is not so far behind the Lakers' top 2.  The Lakers probably have enough to take this (LeBron has won with less probably) but it is interesting how big the drop is from LeBron/Davis to Rondo et. al.

The Nuggets have a legitimate chance if Grant and Millsap can continue defending LeBron like this.

How does a big man like AD only have 2 boards in over 40 minutes? Honestly kind of mind-boggling.

Those look like Kelly Olynyk/Amir Johnson/Tyler Zeller/Jordan Mickey numbers

They prob just have an off-night. No way AD repeats this rebound performance.

Dwight Howard straight up dominating Jokic in the first quarter as he got inserted into the starting lineup.

[RPGenerate]

What a bad way to end that quarter for the Lakers. How do you just fall asleep on that free throw?

Polar opposite on our core structure but same bad habits. One is too old the other is too young.

[RPGenerate]

Dear lord, bricking these wide open 3's is killing the Nuggets.

Yes. And this is why Brad should start Time Lord over Theis. He matches up physically better. I’ve been saying this since game 1.
