2023 Playoffs: Around the League Round 3 (WCF/ECF) News Thread

At halftime:

Jokic: 16 rebounds

Davis: 2 rebounds

Ayton didn’t get dominated like that. I guess AD is not a max player.

relentless in your nonsense. You are the Pat Bev of .net

[TOO]

AD already has half as many points thru 3 quarters as Ayton had in 5 games played.

Whoa... maybe the Nuggets are good?!?!

I hope there's a market correction among Suns fans to the overreaction after getting crushed by them in Games 5 and 6. Maybe they'll see it now that they're not so emotionally invested in a narrative to "fix" the team.

It makes the fact that we took them to 6 with no CP and bunch of door dash drivers besides Book and KD, all the more impressive.

Book and KD are VERY good.

Lakers really need LeBron to assert himself. He's just kinda going with the flow.

[Gladiator]

Ridiculous shot from Jokic to end the 3rd. Davis could not believe he made it

[LazarusLong]

LA started three guards, I guess to run?
That strategy backfired, as the Nuggets are thrashing them on the boards, 21-6.

yup. They have Rui or Vanderbilt. The irony is they started 3 guards to just stand and watch lebron or AD go off the dribble in halfcourt to nowhere.

It killed me that Lakers were able to get those wings for their depth. It’s almost everything we needed.

Shroder is 170, vs Murray, 215, and Caldwell Pope and Brown, both around 205.
Shroder hustles, but he's getting bullied ...

[Wally_West]

Lakers turning it into a game but Nuggets are getting saved by some wild ass shots man lol

[Gladiator]

Nuggets do not look good under pressure in the 4th, Jokic with a couple of uncharacteristic turnovers. It’s absolutely game-on from here

[Wally_West]

Lmao things are getting interesting in Denver

[Flagrant Fowl]

Mike Malone must be getting outcoached because it's insane to keep Gordon at the dunker spot if AD is going to guard him.

Edit: Of course JVG says exactly that after the timeout.

[TOO]

If Ayton dropped 40 on Joker I don't think anyone would be complaining about how out rebounded he was, just saying.

[Wally_West]

Austin Reeves is getting paid.

Shit... I'd probably settle for half as many points if he still got 10 boards, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Austin Reeves is getting paid.

40/10 with 5 stocks…ya that’s a max player

Same guy.

Decent.

Same guy.

If this were true, the Nuggets would be playing the Warriors right now.

Or are you just saying all white American shooting guards are the same?

[Shabazz]

Kennard is a much better 3-point shooter. He may be the best shooter in the NBA. Reaves is much better inside the arc.
