Lakers vs Nuggets is basically the Western Conference Finals

I stand by the thread title

The ball bounced Denver’s way when it mattered most

Pretty even series overall

OKC and Minnesota would have beat the Lakers also. The Lakers were not the second best team in the west

I disagree

I think OKC would really struggle with Lakers size. Lakers would've been favored over them most likely

Minnesota/Lakers would be a good series. Both teams would have issues scoring the ball I think. Would lean Lakers though because of their experience

Minnesota is not going to be able to slice and dice Jokic the way AD/LeBron did. Jokic had a horrible defensive series because of those two.

Wolves half court offense is really bad. Denver going to have a much easier time defending. Jokic in particular (though Murray will probably struggle)
