just came back from two 3-1's in a row and you think they get swept with ease?

Yep. They got heart, but the Lakers talent will overcome that, and they're not like the Clippers. They've got their mojo going. Never say never of course, but I'd bet on a short series. Maybe the Nugs squeeze one out, or catch them napping in Game 1, but I don't see them being very competitive with the Lakers. We'll see though. I'll certainly be rooting for the little engine that could, but I don't like their chances.

i like their shooting and ball movement better than LA's. i also think mike malone's offensive sets are vastly underrated. i'm picking LA too but i'm thinking it goes 6.
 
Kwi when facing elimination since he became "the man":

2015 gm 7 vs Flerps: 13 points on 5-13 FG, 101 ORTG
2016 gm 6 vs Blunder: 22 points on 9-23 FG, 102 ORTG
2019 gm 7 vs Sixers: 41 points on 16-39 FG, 102 ORTG
2020 gm 7 vs Nugs: 14 points on 6-22 FG, 72 ORTG

Total avg: 22.5 ppg on 37% FG, 94 ORTG

Pretty rough especially considering he isn't even expected to be a facilitator/playmaker like LeBitch, Staph, Hardcan, etc. He's basically a lucky bounce away from being Hardcan in elimination games

That's so perfect. Team White Guys can't get a rebound to save their lives, and miss a layup. Team Black Guys are scooping up all the offensive rebounds, but can't hit a 3. LOL
 
When Míamí traded for Jake Rowder, I don’t think anyone thought anything of it, since he was terrible after leaving Boston, but he has been pretty big for them. 14 and 6 on 42% from 3 (on 8+ attempts) and slightly above-average defense.

Chowder was always overrated..he was supposed to be a great defensive stopper. Never happened....until he was put in a great system with a great coach. Now, he might be one of the most over looked players this series.
 
It's not that he didn't have a great system for him in Memphis, but winning matters. He's putting 100% effort into every play because every play now matters.
 
Nurse, Spo, and Stevens are such great coaches.maybe the best the east has ever seen as a group. And it's fun watching defensive players thrive under all of their systems..it's gonna be fun for years unless @faustian prediction is right and kyle goes to Miami then they have a dynasty

Those coaches are all elite. I would throw Coach Budi in there too. I know they have Giannis and they got punked in the 2nd round but they led the NBA in scoring margin, defensive efficiency, and were the #1 overall seed.

Also Brook Lopez was a mediocre defender his entire career until he came to Milwaukee at 30 years old and finished the year 4th in the entire league in DBPM and 2nd in BPG. Double D aka The Big Ragu also had a monster defensive season.

Dragic is a free agent too, so, yeah, if KLow doesn’t re-up, there’s a strong chance he’s shipping down to South Beach. EDIT: Lowry isn’t a free agent until after next season.

In 2010 Kobe won his 4th on Lakers in Orlando. In 2020 LeBron is going for his 4th on the Lakers in Orlando. :O :O :O
 
You can tell Mark Jack didn’t watch any heat games this season. He needs to stfu about Jimmy
