I must agree: Lakers caught favorable matchups in the first two rounds.

It’s an awful matchup for Denver. Jokic will pick up cheap fouls trying to protect the rim against LBJ and Davis. He will be in foul trouble most of the series. Mark my words! You may be right on that point, but I think Denver has tons of bodies to throw at the Lakers just like they did against the Clippers. This series does not come down to Jokic anyway and the last one did not either. it comes down to Murray and the shooters like Harris and MPJ... How can you say that. Jokic carved them up with his passing and vision. He was a monster. They’re nothing without him.

No you got me wrong, he is essential, but he is not the x factor in my opinion. I think if he plays great but Murray/MPj play bad, Lakers in 5. If everyone plays great Denver has a real shot

And Jokic struggled against them. Their size and length make it hard for a guy who can't jump. And they can mostly switch on the Murray/Jokic pick and roll. I think Lakers handle this team easily.
