[QUOTE=tpols;14904192]Not exactly how it works. A lot of playoff games are just inevitably close between two teams with same talent level. Maybe Murray would've hit more shots and maybe mpj or kcp miss some more. It evens out.[/QUOTE]
Murray missed 15 shots that game. To put that in perspective Jokic only attempted 16, MPJ 13.
Fortunately Murray's chucking didn't cost them that game. But going forward he either needs to shoot a lot loss or start making more or it will cost them games.

His worst defender will be Conley, who might as well be all def 1st compared to what the lakers threw at him.

Shroeder was 10x the defender dlo is and Murray lit him up for 33 ppg on 50/40/90 splits in the WCFs last year. And this year Murray's %'s are trash in this series.
Sometimes the ball just doesn't go into the basket regardless of whose defending. Murray hit his most crucial clutch shots this year with 7foot AD draped all over him.

I found this: Jokic with an efficiency score of 46.0 so far in the playoffs.

AD is 2nd with 41.3
The next guy is Siakam at 34.7
Wow

Wow[/QUOTE]Lebron is 5th at age 39. 27/6/8 on 58/37/75. He’s so great we forget he’s 5 years over the average age of retirement in the nba sometimes, and still judge him by the highest standards in the league.
Re: (2) Nuggets vs. (7) Lakers First Round Playoff Series Thread
[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;14904070]It’s not you. The level of attractiveness among Laker Girl applicants sky rocketed when Lebron signed.[/QUOTE]
Or the Lakers made it a point to hire the most attractive girls to counter LeBron's ugly ass mug.

He IS fifth and that's a great accomplishment but the next 10 players are all within 4 eff points. Between 27-31 you find 10+ players. And the gap is very big after the top 2. I mean 46 to 31 is an immense difference. It's not a knock on LeBron who played well and is historically great at this age. Never before seen great. However, 46.0 is blowing everyone out of the water. Who does it compare to, historically? I have no idea.

Do you want to have a baby with him?
Re: (2) Nuggets vs. (7) Lakers First Round Playoff Series Thread
Rui/Reaves minutes went down in game 4 and Prince/Vincent have been getting more. Do you think that might have been the difference across the game? Both Prince/Vincent provide much better defense and energy.
Ofc, D'lo/Reaves also showed up on offense.
Re: (2) Nuggets vs. (7) Lakers First Round Playoff Series Thread
Jamal Murray hurt.

Listed as questionable for game 5.
He might play, but it could go either he balls out or he really sucks. Regardless if he isn't healthy Denver is not gonna repeat.
Re: (2) Nuggets vs. (7) Lakers First Round Playoff Series Thread
If he is hurt it makes sense to rest him up 3-1.

He has a wife. :(
Re: (2) Nuggets vs. (7) Lakers First Round Playoff Series Thread
He might have a grade 1 strain. I read somewhere that a grade 1 strain could heal up in a few days to a week.
Grade 2 will take 4-6 weeks.
We'll see if he plays.
