Will the Nuggets target Lebron over and over?

[90sgoat]

That's what I would do if I was Nuggs.

I call it now, cause I think they're gonna do it.

They have Jokic who is too big for Lebron, Murray and KCP who are too active running around screens and MPJ and Gordon who are too fast for Lebron from the high post.

They should target Lebron every single time down the court to gas him out and draw fouls.

They're gonna have Lebron on Aaron Gordon and give him the harrison barnes treatment. He's basically gonna have a free pass on defense unless Denver can somehow force him into switching onto jokic or murray.

Wouldn't MPJ be better in this role?

No, Gordon has no bag

Huh?

Jokic can get 50 or Murray can get 40, so Lebron's 25 will matter less than Booker or KD mattered imo

Murray-Whoever is the biggest mismatch in the series

[theman93]

Huh?

tpols said he believes LA will give Gordon the Harrison Barnes treatment and leave him open. Gordon has no bag to take advantage of that and he's not a good 3 point shooter

Gordon is a much lower-volume lane-clogger than Lebron

Yeah but they'll still probably force the ball in his hands a lot more which should up his volume

[Charlie Sheen]

This strategy would help the Lakers. Do you think Malone is going to take the ball out of Joker's hands to let AG, MPJ and KCP make decisions with the ball?

Any plan that deviates from Jokic running and being the focal point of this offense will result in a series loss for Denver. He is their sole path to victory.

You don't go through the regular season and half the playoffs only to make drastic changes to your offensive philosophy.

They have to stop AD and Reaves. Lebron isn't much of a factor. They just have to disrupt him for the one quarter's worth of energy he has.
