Denver: The Nuggets took the Lakers’ best punch and survived The online discourse around the Lakers’ second-half adjustments and resulting run makes it sound like they were the Game 1 winners, not Denver. And yet, the Nuggets emerged from Game 1 both victorious and with time to craft a perfect counter.
Thanks- needing more NBA content on Substack! As a nuggs fan, I'm feeling very confident in their ability to make this adjustment. I think it is mainly about execution (as you point out) since they know what to do and have seen it a bunch. AD might be another level than what they've had to face as a roamer...but that's only if you don't respect Gobert. Tin foil hat theory: they kept Jamal on Lebron because mal was sick- germ warfare. haha
