Scott Foster Rigging for LeBron James. Expect the Warriors to Win against the Kings and Pelicans to get the 8th Seed. Pelicans being kicked out of the Playoffs by Adam Silver because they are not a Big Market and Fans want LeBron and Curry. Adam Silver doesn't want to move on, plus LeBron, Curry shoe, merchandise sales, TV Ratings.
i think the lakers beating the defending champs would be better ratings for the league than the nuggets repeating. nobody cares that the nuggets are champions (nobody cares Joker is a perennial mvp candidate) and I guarantee no one will care if they get bounced round 1
The script has the Lakers upsetting. We all know it. LeBron and Davis didn't finish this game strong, but the Lakers are a really solid team so they won anyway. But they won't beat the Nuggets with these types of performances by their two main guys. They need to be 2 of the best 3 players in the series. Jokic and Murray were the two best last year so they swept the Lakers. I'd bet on the Nuggets overcoming the script or LeBron and Davis not fulfilling their roles, but the NBA wants the Lakers. We all know it.
You know, the script. The script they write. Really, they got swept because LeBron failed to play his part as the closer. They had their chances, they had the free throw advantage, they blew it.
Naw. The story of the season is the Lakers being allowed to get away with cheap fouls, and getting a free throw and foul advantage.
Uh so much for these conspiracy theories....literally every line is wrong. LAL also likely won their way to a sweep c/o their nemesis Denver Nuggets whom they haven't beaten even once in 8 games already.
