Need some jerk chicken Curry Goat!

Nuggets are a tall team MPJ 6' 10", AG is 6'8'', and Joker is 6'11''. I believe we need to match them and utilize Rui. Rui should be the X factor this series.

Would be interesting to see a AD on Joker, Bron on AG, Vando on JM, and Rui on MPJ lineup at sometime during the game. Use Vando as the off ball screener on offense.

It hits different when the help being brought to joker is 6’8 6’8 or 6’9

This video gives good insight that it might be better to put AD on AG so AD can sag in lane, AG is there worst shooter. Then Put Rui on Joker.
Start at 1:30

Yeah I agree!!! Rui need to play more and Vendobilt also more mins this series.

In the bubble, it was Dwight/AD/Lebron/Danny Green/ KCP lineup that swept Denver 4-1

Either Tristan Thompson or Rui need to be that Dwight spot.

Hmm mo BamBa? Or Gabriel one of them need to be defensive Big!!

Just let AD man up Jokic 1v1
Let Vandy sag off Gordon and play help defense whenever he gets near the rim
You'll live with Aaron Gordon hitting 3s

Similar to what Cs did with Embiid really

I like this too!!!
Aaron Gordon is not Steph hitting 5 threes.

Don’t let Jokic and Murray go off. Let someone else step up if they can.

LeCoach and Darvin Ham should be able to figure this out.

Vando is not a post stopper, AG can be aggressive down low. Vando is super weak defending in the post, we want him on the perimeter guarding JM. Best to have Bron or AD on AG so they can sag into the paint. We want AD to stay in the Paint, if AD is on Joker they will do a high Pick and Roll like Warriors did. AD has been insane defensively when he is in the paint playing help D.

It's going to be a game of chess between the Coaches, Lakers need to keep AD in the Paint, while Nuggets will be looking on ways to bring AD out of the paint in the Pick and Roll.

Whatever happens I think the game plan will be sag off AG, let him beat us and defend the paint.

Who is guarding Jokic then? It's AD bro...You're going to beat them while playing 1v1 vs. Jokic as much as possible. You guys are TOAST if AD is wasted on AG. He'll sit in the corner and Jokic will bully you....
You're right about AG in the post, so Lebron is going to be on him. He can play free safety whenever AG sits in the corner. Sag off AG whenever Jokic picks up his dribble and makes his move into the paint, but that's only if AD needs the help.
But I don't think he'll need it because Jokic is more finesse than bully, so it's not like AD is just going to get beat into the paint.

I get that you want and need AD in the paint, but those lanes won't be there as much if Jokic is up high and AD is playing 1v1.
Whichever defender is on Murray, he better be ready to fight over those screens because RIP if you guys switch on those.
