My one thing that No brings up is that Embiid absolutely thrives in the garden. He averages about 30 at msg and he is on record saying it’s his favorite place to play, so that could be something
Suns v Wolves will be the best 1st round matchup. No idea who will win. Both teams healthy. Bad blood between the two after the season finale game.

As a Nuggets fans I just hope we don't underestimate the Lakers and get some rest for round 2. This series can be a sweep but I wouldn't be shocked if it went to 6 or 7.
as a lakers fan, i dont think you have much to worry about. i think they'll be looking not to get swept by the same team 2 years in a row, but i dont see that team winning 4 over denver.
Idk what it is but regular season Murray is completely different than playoff Murray. I think they run a lot more actions through Murray and jokic and the dude just turns into an absolute demon.
@@jazzyj8047it’s season long load management. The Nuggets play with like 70% effort most nights in the regular season, then for the playoffs they shorten the rotation (last year it was 8 guys) and the starters get heavy minutes and give 100% effort. That’s really why Jokic and Murray are such monsters in the playoffs.
Yeah. The Lakers should not even be in the playoff picture (at least right now). Should've been Kings v Lakers tonight, and for the first round NO vs DEN even with that Zion injury, that would've been a very intriguing matchup compared to what ended up too.
Would be nice to see Paolo and Orlando make some progress in the playoffs for the first time in forever. Tough for Cleveland though, they're expected to win.
He aint choke against miami 🤷♂️ but I guess the single choke last season has suddenly made everyone forget he’s been injured every other playoffs and all those series are suddenly ‘chokes’ now too
@DuhChickenGuy Losing to the hawks in game 7 was a choke. Bro averaged 18 points on 37% from the field with peak JJ, peak Simmons, Harris, and JIMMY BUTLER on his team, that’s a choke. Bros an injury prone choker who can’t get it done in the playoffs
Defending Murray all we can hope for is Vincent can do something and that he doesn't get hot and hit his shots even playing as good defense as possible lol. Deny everyone else the ball and force Jokic to score on as many posseesions as possible and limit him to 5 assists or less and we might be able to do it. We ain't getting swept imo unless LeBron or AD get hurt, I believe we can make it a series especially if we can win game 1 or 2 we gotta do that.
If I were the lakers I would really worry about dlo getting wrecked by Peyton Watson. Nuggets can easily throw a lineup that has that matchup and he could really bother him
Seeing him FINALLY get benched last game was massive. He's usually good in the first quarter. If he starts looking awful after that, he should be done for the game with his minutes going to Oubre and Batum.
I'm going for Denver, I like Jokic and I wanna see them win another for Denver. Past years I wanted the Clips to win but they've shown time and time again that they either can't stay healthy or simply aren't built for it.
Not that its remotely likely, but if lebron manages to beat the 2 seed, 3 seed, and 1 seed, and then the 64 win celtics on the way to his 5th championship, he'd be the undisputed goat
