Here's what to expect when the Lakers open the Western Conference finals in Denver against two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the No. 1 Nuggets.
The Lakers discuss their upcoming conference finals series vs. No. 1 Denver and two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. ‘We’re going in with the utmost respect.’The Nuggets hold an edge in their motivation. They seem very confident and they have a lot of big bodies to throw at LeBron, as far as [Aaron] Gordon, and they can do some different things. I just think the Lakers may run into some trouble if they’re relying on [Austin] Reaves and Lonnie Walker [IV]. The Lakers need someone else every game.
Denver’s been the most steady team this whole playoffs and so I do think that there has to be, not junking it up, but [Lakers coach Darvin] Ham and that staff are going to have to be a little creative and they have the personnel to do that. But I’m interested in how they kill the head of the snake as much as possible.Aaron Gordon can guard LeBron to some degree, as much as anyone can. KCP [Kentavious Caldwell-Pope] can guard whoever they decide to guard whoever they decide to put as their No.
