Basically deny, deny, deny, switch, switch, switch. It’s not rocket science on guarding Joker, it’s about commitment and execution. He’s a very smart and skilled player, you gotta stay 10 seconds ahead of him.

To reduce JJ to just a podcaster is bananas though :hubie:

Those are some disgusting lineups that allow that to work. Any respectable shooting cooks. Obviously it’s good strategy for their lack of shooting tho. Westbrook, Braun, and Gordon all on the court :huhldup:no shyt they’ll concede 3s to essentially double/triple/keep contact at all times

fukking Spurs fan :scust:. I was just about to post this.

AD is an all time defensive player but seeing the difference of Rui or Vando guarding Jokic starting from damn near the backcourt compared to Jokic beating AD down court is crazy. shyt seeing the other Lakers actually hustle and move around on defense is crazy. When AD was here it was like he was carrying. His only flaw was getting back in transition.

And I seen a whole lot of salty Nuggets fans and Jokic stans in the yt comments. Hell one of them just posted right above me :lolbron:. Gil

I'm not the boogeyman, you can tag me.

:mjgrin:

The Lakers played a great game, schematically and executed it well. The Nuggets will no doubt have a counter to this next time they play. Regardless of that, Jokic still owns your franchise from what he's done to y'all in the playoffs over the last few seasons.

I didn’t have to I knew you’d be in here :lolbron: . You still don’t wanna come over to the Show that’s cool. But I’m gonna enjoy Denver’s boot coming slightly off our neck. It might last it might not
