An MVP in his prime, why? What would you be looking for in return?

He's injury prone and his prime will be very short. He himself should be thinking trade.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Hoping for the Nuggets in 4 but it will probably be Nuggets in 6. Doesn’t matter to me just as long as the Lakers lose. I hope everyone stays healthy too so that Laker fans can’t play the “if” game. Wonder who will shoulder the blame once they lose…. AD, Darvin Ham, the supporting cast?

Wow, it's like that

 

[Blue Mamba]

Nuggets have to be the favorites to win the title right now. They’re the only team out of the 4 that haven’t looked like they’ve been in any real danger

They ain't trading Embiid man. Trippin.

The Process will go on

The first player coach since Russell

They played the Wolves and an overhyped Phoenix team. Book and KD got whatever they wanted, team just wasn't legit

Please let this happen

Houston redux with Morey, Beard and MDA

 

[osh kosh bosh]

So excited for this Lakers-Denver.
AD-Jokic matchup will be so interesting.


When was the last time the best offensive and defensive player matched up in a playoff series at the same position?

When have the Lakers looked like they've been in any real danger through two series so far?

Shaq vs Ben?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Almost forgot Morey was in Philly . 100% chance it's MDA

 

[MajinZuub]

Shaq vs Ben?

Bron and Kawhi maybe

Steph and “Marcus smart”

 

[atlsfinest]

In my opinion this game was the peak of Carmelo Anthony's career. He went on to have some success in New York and score a lot of points but this was a single most impressive performance he ever gave.

Super physical game where he not only spent a lot of time guarding prime Kobe on defense but also dominated on offense. After this game I remember thinking Melo was going to win multiple MVPs and be a consistent top 5 player.

Shout outs to Anthony Carter and Kenyon Martin's inbounding skills.

Let's

*******

Go

 

[sohi 23]

I think the Lakers main advantage will be with their closing / 4th quarter lineup.

Dlo/Dennis/AR + the 2 superstars. That’s a lineup where I guard Jokic 1 v 1 with either Lebron or AD & I attack him every time on defense. Whoever he’s defending is setting high screens all day. Tire him out.

[picasso swerve]

I'll take Brodie on the Knicks.

Might be the first NBA jersey ill cop in YEARS.

What's gotta be going through Ime's head rn?

Probably this
