TBryant revenge series

TBryant revenge series

hahaha slipped my mind

 

[reconic supreme]

This has seriously been a Bill Russell-esque playoff run by Davis. He's been the best defensive player in the world for a month now.

As a Lakers fan living in the Bay Area. **** the Warriors!!!! Not one Warriors fan has returned a text yet, while these other boys on social media down bad.

Same here lol. I work at a bar in the city and the Warrior fans who bet me paid up and walked out before the game officially ended. Felt good

 

[BRONBROW2020]

just figure out joker

 

[reconic supreme]

Davis won't stop Joker... but he should be able to put up some speed bumps.

The key is making sure the rest of the team don't have it going. Davis should continue to focus all on defense instead of trying to get into a numbers match with Jokic IMO.

His defensive intensity has broke these last two teams to the point of them being scared of AD in the paint.

Lakers in 6

 

[cruzair13]

Update from the Lakers in five girl:

 

[DLF]

Who’s that ugly monster on the right?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

The to beating Denver 4x outta 7 is to neutralize the effectiveness of Aaron Gordon, Brown Jr, Green, and MPJ.

You can let Jokic get his 25-12-7 and let Murray get his occasional 25 but we absolutely cannot let Aaron Gordon, BBrown Jr, and MPJ torch us for 18-23 apiece 4 games outta 7.

Our 4 guards - DLo, AR, Lonnie, and Schroder - should be more than enough to keep Murray and KCP in check

Denver's strength are their Forwards and Wings. Much is going to be demanded from Bron, Rui, Vando, Gabriel, and even Troy Brown this series.

TT and AD should be enough to handle Jokic.

 

[MVP]

Win Game 1, win the series

Laker fan checking in


NBA finna rig this.

Ain’t nobody wanna see Denver in the finals.


Lakers in 6

 

[drewsone]

let joker try to beat us with scoring

We made Steph life hell we can make Murray’s hell. Same approach. Nullify Murray and the others we win

Honestly feel like gsw was the hardest matchup for us since they literally the apex of our weakness lol or is it me

 

[trynafeelmink]

Denver may be a better overall team than GS but they aren't as tested or tough & they don't have a Curry Level threat on their team. I think beating the defending champions is gonna be a real boost to everyone not named Bron/AD.

This is a perfect series for Vando if you ask me, whether its Gordon or Porter he could do a good job of bottling either one up, & they have an extreme lack of rim protection.

 

[James_O]

I’m so pumped we beat GS

Nugs are gonna be a tough game but I think our defense is good enough to put a stop to Murray and Gordan. Ad gonna have a tough time in the paint, Jokic is built dif man

 

[Lizakers]

Denver will be tough- good team with revenge on their minds for 2020 WCF

We can do it. Lakers in 6

 

[htg designs]

these season stats fugazi. we had 2 diff teams. we got the no.1 defense in the playoffs.

 

[lacedemup]

Good morning Laker Nation! Let’s all enjoy this weekend! What great feeling to knock off the defending champs. Damn it feels good!
