AD as forward is more scarier. I wish we will get a legit center next season to pair him. He is better as a forward than a center. Less injury AD when he is a forward.

Damn that size tho.

our starting lineup is so much better now.

I forgot they had Grant. I know Jokic has gotten a lot better, but that nuggets team was quiet strong in the bubble. And I would any day take DLo over DG, Reaves over KCP (sorry manna), and Vando over Mcgee.

Even if Lakers win it All, I can’t decide which team seems more fleshed out and better. Vogels adjustment just shows me how important the coaching as well. No disrespect to Ham he did great adjustments too but this squad made me realize that depth will win any time over multiple stars in a team

a 2023 championship for Lakersnation is one of a story of triump over the naysayers and beating the odds out of all the 17 chips our team has won

This series felt like the finals of the NBA. Heat is definitely a contender but this one made me nail bite more than the series against them tbh

That Nuggets team was really not that bad. They are a little better now but so are we.

More like 2.5 since the playoffs were in fucking October lol

Felt so bad for them that year lol. To have two crazy series and overcoming crazy odds TWICE! To being stream rolled by the Lakers the very next round

The nuggets were better that year. Pre ACL Murray, grant is much better than gordon, and 2020 Harris and Millsap were pretty decent.

I forgot they had grant. He played great that series. I think he’s better than Gordon, Porter and kcp. But the combination of all 3 of them is better but it’s not enough to move the needle imo.

Wasn’t it KCP at 1, Green at 2, Lebron at 3, AD at 4 and Javale at 5?

Bubble AD was a better shooter, and it would be nice to have bubble Mcgee and Howard against Jokić.
McJumbos
both starting lineups are much better lol

I lived in Florida during the bubble championship. No fans. So close but yet so far.

The only absence I worry about is not having Dwight Howard to to take fouls while wearing down Jokic.

Let’s see where KCP loyalty lies… lol

Lakers just need to contain MPJ, Gordon & Murray.. jokic gonna get his just keep the others in check, also I think some of Denver’s players will fold under the big spotlight. Could be wrong, need to steal one in Denver tho !

Til jerami grant was on the nuggets

I miss KCP and Javale…
GueroDeFierro
I think our team now would be our team then, assuming that AD acts normal and doesn’t go crazy like did in the bubble.
madvisuals
Denver had a pretty good squad in 2020. Harris, Grant and Millsap are no scrubs. And we still beat them
YN_Decks
Maybe my memory is off, but I remembering dreading how good Rondo was for the Lakers during the bubble run. Caruso was pretty strong off the bench too.

Seems like eons ago but also yesterday, such a crazy thing we all went through
