Everything he said is factual. Lakers were the better team for the majority of the series.The coaching was the difference, Nuggets had better late game execution when it mattered and Ham was incapable of making adjustments on the fly. Wolves are gonna give the Nuggets all sorts of fits, Murray is about to be another victim on McDaniels island but good thing he already has a built in excuse.
Ban bet? If the Wolves beat the Nuggets I don't post til draft day, if Nuggets beat Wolves you don't post til draft day?
If the Lakers were the better team for the majority of the series, just imagine what the Wolves will do!

It’s funny how he had by far his best game of the series while playing on a calf strain. I don’t know why he struggled in the first four games while he was supposedly healthy.

Minnesota could have beaten the Lakers, without question. The other teams I'm less sure about.
The Lakers played really well and deserve some credit though. They're better than a 7 seed play-in team.

Not that everyone can do this because AD was incredible, but Lakers laid down the blue print how to defend them. No 3s, no easy drives to the basket. Making Jokic take tough contested shots is a good defensive possession.
Thanks for the tips,

KCP and Murray are hurt too...
When is AD ever healthy? Get out of here with that weak excuse. #Mutumboswat

Davis just averaged 28, 15 boards, 4 assists and Lebron averaged 28, 7 boards, 9 assists. So, they conserve energy in the regular season, but they are definitely top 10 talents in the playoffs.
In the playoffs I'd take the above comfortably
Jokic
Giannis
Luka
Steph
Ant
Brunson
I think AD is in the
Tatum
SGA (haven't seen enough)
Bam
Butler
LeBron range
I didn't rank Kawhi and Embiid due to oft-injured status in the playoffs. So I guess both are back half of top 10, I'd rank LeBron behind AD because LeBron has really dropped off defensively and its infected the team. He was a different animal on defense in 2020 and it set the tone. You'd expect that with age but its definitely pulled down the Lakers upside.
Lol, if Lebron and AD are below Steph and Brunson on this year's playoffs which Steph didn't even make.

Based on the percentages of each result in that survey, the RealGM GB predicted that there would be a 67.3% chance that the Nuggets would win the series. Also, the most popular choice was Nuggets in 5.
