They should spam that PnR. Jokic is deciding to stay home on AD and LeBron's got an easy lane every time

Nuggets played soft today. And Jokic had a lot to do with that. I've always thought his biggest weakness is passivity.

It happens to the best players, Ham just figured out that Jokic is uncomfortable with smaller players on him

Yup totally the worse 33 14 14 triple double ever.

The backside rotations were terrible from Denver

That's what Lakers want from Jokic

Just don't let Porter hit the 3 and have Murray chuck

14 assists equals a passive Jokic which is a lot better than him going beast mode scoring 50pts on AD

Let the others try to win the game besides Porter because he literally doesn't miss.

I think there have been times when Jokic is super aggressive early a times where he isn’t, and the unpredictability of it all makes him even more confounding to deal with. But he has been passive to start these last three games desperately trying to get Murray going but I think aggressive Jokic needs to be out to start game 5. Lakers have been counting their blessings every time a possession ends with the ball in Murray’s hands. Jokic just needs to throw a new look at them.

Jokic and his brothers in the locker room talking to Murray and telling him to shoot better lmao

Nuggets will still close this one pretty convincingly if they play with some energy. But I do genuinely think they don’t have answers to some of the Lakers sets, particularly the actions that allow one of LBJ/AD to receive the ball coming downhill without Gordon already there. They wouldnt have lost this game if they had actually solved the Lakers tactically.

It’s a 4 game sample size now of LA being very efficient offensively when utilizing AD in ball screens and making Jokic choose.

I don’t know if you’re being for real or sarcastic. I won’t lie, when he got 30, I thought to myself this might be the least impactful Jokic 30 I’ve watched.

You could maybe call it statpadding against any other team but vs Denver? No way, as we’ve seen a 10 point lead is basically a 2 point lead. The Lakers needed every last one of his buckets down the stretch to keep the game out of panic territory.

The internet was a terrible idea for some people who consider themselves basketball fans, mind just down the gutter. Losing a lead equals chocking, scoring in the 4th quarter whilst leading equals statpadding. That's their analysis. Actual brainrot. In reality, LeBron put away one of the best closing teams in recent memory, matching them basket for basket. That's should give him nothing but praise as an almost 40 y/o man, but nope, no can do. I must submerge you all in my pool of idiocy.

Both, LeBron and AD have been playing lights out in this series.
