Nuggets first round matchup thread.

This is going to be hilarious seeing Ime bent over and penetrated as badly as he is going to be.

I can see it now, those clowns who defend him even though we're two years in with evidence pointing to him being incompetent for a good team, still defending the clown, I can't fathom the excuses they'll use and the players they'll blame completely ignoring the positions the head coach puts them in.

I can't wait to see Ime clowned on the sideline... we should all be used to it now. It happens game after game after game.

 

Well - I guess we don’t deserve the Lakers then. The reality is that the Nuggets right now are better than the Rockets. The Nuggets don’t care about regular season records… they are more experienced, have a more accomplished team and the best player in the world.

I love the Rockets but I have zero faith in them executing down the stretch better than the Nuggets (assuming no new injuries) for 4 times in 7 games.

 

Or as soon as possible and put the fans out of their misery.

 

I still can't understand why the Lakers wouldn't go out of their way to lose tomorrow. They're looking at a sweep if they draw the T'Wolves in the first round. Minnesota knocked them out last year in 5 games and that was with no home court and LA having Luka and Austin in the lineup.

I'd actually give them a shot against the Rockets even if they're shorthanded. Ime is the one coach who could screw up that matchup.

 

Harden and Chris Paul had Jokic on skates.

I missed that. I thought the Lakers were signaling they are going to try to win.

 

Even without Lebron, they will win if they play the rest of their guys. The Jazz are going to do whatever it takes to lose so it will take the Lakers doing whatever it takes to lose as well lol

 

My thoughts exactly. I didn't want a meaningless victory over an injured team. Part of development is learning lessons. Lessons are about to be taught.

 

If it's Rockets/Lakers Luka will have a miraculous recovery. I guarantee it.

 

If it is vs the Nuggets Rox dont have a chance. Dumbdoka gonna get outcoached to the ground and we lose. Lakers are the only team we can beat and only because they are heavily injured.

Against the Nuggets I expect 4rth quarter meltdowns and scoring droughts with Tari, Okogie and even DFS playing lots of mins while scoring single digits on horrible percentages.

 

We will lose in the 2nd round anyway I rather they lose to OKC/SAS than Nuggets.

 

Yup, plus you’d get the young guys another round of playoff experience.

 

IDK because in the 2nd round Lakers are getting historically embarrassed.....losing by 40-50 pts deficit....

Thunder are going to make the Lakers look like toddlers....the matchup discrepancy ain't funny for them.

They have defenders that are primed for guys like Luka, Lebron, Hachimura, Ayton, Kennard and Reaves....whoever healthy.

I think they would be better served just to normally lose against the Wolves......and hope Ant gets injured throughout.

 

Yep...1 game away from playing a potentially winnable lakers series to a full on beat down.

 

That ain't going to matter, lol.

 

More lessons would be learned from more games played and they would likely play more games if they matched up with the Lakers in the first round. But .. It'll be the nuggets.

 

Remind me of Ime resting starters in last 3 games of last season to play vs Warriors.

We got eliminated by old warriors.

 

Let Jokić get his, shutdown everyone else around him.

 

We are going to see the first tie in nba history.
