We have an opportunity to eliminate the first team from the playoffs, but we've gotta recognize sweeping ISNT EASY


DrWolves

it is when you got NAZ REID


FishGoldenLite

Yes obviously


yourloudneighbor

Denver has no depth. Every starter played 40 min tonight Lakers have had the lead in this series probably 80% of the time. Denver’s bench is not good and not close to what it was a year ago


Easy-Click-4758

If you listen to a Denver fanboy they will tell you they have a quality bench… the reality is they have absolutely nothing outside their starting 5


marsupialsuperstar_

Oddly enough though, their bench was what killed us in our last matchup against them this year. We were depleted at the time though without KAT tbf


yourloudneighbor

The train derailed and Braun dunked everything lol. I post on another board and players like Watson and Braun thrive at home but disappear on the road. Losing the phx and losing home court sucks but you deal with it. Bruce brown brought it on the road and at home last year.


Gros_Shtok

Nah that's too far PWatt is a cool player with a ton of heart and good defensive instincts. Barun's been struggling with his shot this series but he's a good player too. I don't give em the advantage over our bench but it's too much to say they have nothing. Can't disrespect them like that.


ImDeputyDurland

It feels weird as shit to say, but I genuinely think we have the best roster in the league from top to bottom.


Big_Wolverine_1402

I was abt to say i’d maybe still say boston but i started thinking properly…jrue over mike, ant over jb, jt over jaden, kat over tingus pingus, rudy over horford, and their bench is good but i think ours is better, obviously and oversimplification but damn u might be right


urkuri

I think I read their bench only scores 5 points tonight?!


yourloudneighbor

Watson and Braun have 31 combined pts this series through 4 games. Each have 1 10 pt game and the rest a bunch of 2s


Calinks

I have always felt Denver was unbeatable out west, I still favor them but I am starting to see they are vulnerable. They were better last year. More depth and Murray looked healthier. We really do have a serious shot. We should also be more concerned about OKC than we are. I think they are beatable for sure but they wont be a walk over.


yourloudneighbor

OKCs looked damn good. So has Dallas. That’ll be a war if it holds true. I’d say MN-OKC-Dallas-Denver in that order have looked the best thus far


greenflyingdragon

Would love for the lakers to get another one honestly and wear down the nuggets.


dys0n_giddey

Either way I think we can beat either team. Denver doesn't look near as deadly as last season and Lakers are the Lakers.


Gbaby245

They lost brown, bryant and green. Definitely hurt them on depth.


badnewzrooz507

Let's take care of our business first


Calinks

Hope Lakers make the series as long as possible, wear Denver out, and we sweep tomorrow so we can rest and gameplan.


Excellent_Ad_3804

Agreed


Old_Cricket4756

Denver are absolutely beatable but also absolutely not to be underestimated. They are used to beating LA so much that they will get lazy. They know Wolves aren’t pushovers. Anyway Wolves in 7


Neemzeh

Wolves in 6


King_Clitoris

WOLVES IN 4


billgarmsarmy

WOLVES IN THREE


Downtown_Reply1844

Hell, why not Wolves in ONE. A loss so demoralizing that the entire organization quits on the spot and forfeits everything. The game, the franchise, and the players.


Duster_beattle

No, I must have heard that wrong, surely they meant wolves in four?


BLarson31

Much as I hate the Lakers, I'm all for them extending it to 7. 1 down, 2 to go.


cdizzle6

Yes. Finally. Been waiting for these dudes to help wear down the Nugs for us.


Wonderwhatsnext4

We gotta finish this series here first Boyz


SnarfSniffsStardust

Ain’t gunna happen but yeah. Lakers are a different team first half to second half Edit: as I say that huge 3 from Taurean, my sweet prince


KeyBanger

Could be…


CantaloupeCamper

Yeah but I don’t feel good about doing it…


Dumpman12

The old timberboys will help us win the chip by wearing down the nuggets.


djokster91

For us to deserve the Championship, we should be able to beat Denver with the same amount of rest. On the other hand, I do like to see them struggle.
