    Lakers won’t survive with a DLo/Reaves defensive backcourt

  2. JurgenFlippers

    The reason this works so well is not cause Dlo and Reaves are vad defenders it’s who’s running it.

    A lot of this is really bad communication by the Lakers, but you can also see on most of the possessions that the Nuggets basically have a response and counter for everything the defense throws at them. The possession around ~1:40 is a pretty good example of just how many options they’d have beyond just that Gordon cut depending on how the Lakers would have reacted.

    I like how a different person scored each time

  5. _Jetto_

    Said it 4 months ago. can’t win a title with DLO getting top 6 mins on your team.

    Beautiful basketball. Excellent breakdown thanks for sharing.

    I think just 2 days ago, I saw so many threads saying Lakers had the closest 4-0 wash in playoffs history where each game could’ve gone their way. Some BS about how Ham unlocked Rui. Get y’all heads outta your asses, they got cooked once again 😭😭😭

  9. KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

    Papa Malone is the lakers daddy, but we are the firstborn son amongst the rest of the other children that is the rest of yall

    Lakers could have benefited from someone like Jrue

    Yet lebron is a supposed basketball savant

    Hahahahaha

    The split action, DHO, and the high pick and roll are plays that are just so incredibly difficult to stop because the Nuggets have such high IQ players, have such great synergy and chemistry as a team, because Jokic is such an incredible passer, and because of the threat of the AG lob which is something that people don’t give enough consideration to when it comes to their success with their screen actions.

    Is HalfCourtHoops a reliable account? I’m not saying this breakdown is wrong or anything but I saw he had tweeted out a clip that was deceptively edited to make it look like Dlo didn’t take Lebron’s advice.

    This is exactly the type of content that needs to be posted more in this sub.

  15. 0percentwinrate

    Everyone scored but Jokic in this sequence. Nuggets offense is the scariest when Jokic isn’t getting buckets.

  16. BcuzRacecar

    like how its a late game pressure situation and jokic is in the offense instead of just standing on the side waiting to get a pass like alot of other stars especially big men.

  17. There_can_only_be_1
