Lakers biggest problem is durability

They’d be massive favourites if LeBron & AD were playing once a week but they’re not

Will happily eat crow about Jokic. I thought he’s the best regular season player but had issues with him in playoffs. He’s improved by leaps and bounds on defence even from the beginning of the year and playing like the best player in the world compared to the last few seasons in the playoffs where he let would himself get viciously targeted on defence and get progressively worse over the series.

Hate to see Devin ****ing Booker, most annoying player in the world, playing like easily the best player in the playoffs though. 37/7/5 at basically 60/50/90 for a high volume shooting gaurd along with excellent defence is completely broken. Might actually be a top 5ish player starting next season.

The Nuggets should still win comfortably though as you can’t get 80 points from Booker+KD every game. The Suns need too much going right for them and too much not going right for a Denver rosin this series. Will be hilarious to see the Suns get crashed out after looking super promising for the third straight year by an MVP clalibre Euro player with Giannis in 2021, Luka in 2022 and Jokic in 2023.

I dunno why we never seem to run plays for MPJ. Get him a reasonable look and he is a killer but we're underutlising him sooo much

Booker is a shooting guard not a big, he's not even a particularly tall guard. He is just not supposed to be shooting 80% at 20+ FGA a game like in the last 2 games while taking a range of hard shots.

I dislike the **** but this is absolute insanity, especially without his PG. I think they mentioned after last game that only MJ in 1990 had more in the first 8 games of the playoffs.

Need Jokic to finish this **** right. Can't even stand the thought of Devin ****ing Booker doing to the Nuggets what Luka did to Booker last year. Ugh.

Feel like Denver really needed one of these two. Couple of players from the suns bench looking good now too.
Yeah, PHX can win one on our court but two would be too big of an ask. My head is about to explode here so might go offline and chill for a bit
