    Plenty of room for AI to step up now. He'll have the ball in his hands a lot more. They might be forced to slow things down a bit as is. There's even a chance AI emerges, Lawson comes back (rd2) and they're an even better team for it.

    Nuggets are more dangerous with the more veteran Andre Miller, he's been Coach Karl's goto guy whenever Lawson has a bad game.

    Nope. Not a chance. The Nuggets are going to severely miss the ball being in Lawson's hands. Denver's 3 key ingredients to success is 1) Depth. 2) Size and Speed. 3) Ability to run the floor. Lawson is the one that makes all those ingredients come together. Lawson's ability to push the ball up the court, get to the basket, and make the right decision can't be replaced. There's no way the Nuggets get out of the first round without Lawson.

    Forget it. Iggy can't make up for what Lawson does. He's never had the skillset to spark an offense. He's just not an effective creator for others. At this point in his career, you can't expect him to do something he's never done.

    If Iggy has the ball in his hands "a lot more", the Nuggets will be in very serious trouble..

    Lawson, and more NBA players all have Plantar Fasciitis. I have had it too. It can be very painful.
    There is a good web site explaining what is Plantar fasciitis:

    I disagree with parts of this. Iggy is a great passer and playmaker. He is effective at creating offense. The only problem is he can't shoot which makes it hard to completely run the offense through him.

    I don't think you watch Denver basketball much do you
    I also don't think you watch much Denver bball either. They have one if the quickest and most athletic defenses in the game. You make them sound like past Denver teams

    This Denver team with a healthy Lawson is the best west pick to make it to the finals, next to Durant and the OKC defense

    he's in Boulder

    plantar fascitis is terrible and lingers big time

    a partial tear is worse, but have heard when it is completely torn some people (in aussie footy anyway) have tapped it up and play thru it, story goes he jumped off his kitchen bench to snapped his partially torn plantar, snapped it, then tapped is up and played the following week
