While the task might be difficult, it's not insurmountable.  Boston could have been up 2-0 if they were able to preserve their lead.  It's not as if Boston was blown out in both losses.

I agree.  Both games were close and could have went either way. Glaring lang sa Boston yung lack of a reliable go to scorer.

I'm guessing Gordon Hayward returns in game 3.  I think he'll make some sort of difference.  In past games when big leads are about to be blown by Boston, It's Hayward that who takes over playmaking chores and more often than not, prevents the skid.

Boston then needs to win game 3.  One game at a time.

17pt lead, nag time-out lang si Stevens nung bumaba sa 4pt lead.  Dapat nung bumaba sa 12 or 10pt lead.   ::)

If he is able, play him.  OK lang if the result is a sweep.  Boston is actually more out of rhythm without him.

Whether you get eliminated 1-4, 2-4, 3-4... even a sweep, it really makes no difference.

Pwede yang mga style na yan pag veteran type of team na may clear and definitive na team leader tulad ni LBJ, Kobe, Chris Paul, Steph Curry etc who can decide and implement a play to stem the tide without a time out. That is a character building exercise as well.   

Sadly Boston is relatively young.  They have a hard time manufacturing a play on the fly based sa read ng defense ng opposing team.

Boston can't solve the Heat's pick & roll play, Bam had a field day in the 3rd Q. then came the Dragon's timely baskets in the 4Q is crucial as well as Buckets' defensive plays. good team game by the Heat.

the P&R is one of the oldest plays in basketball and surprisingly the most effective if you want to focus and punish the defensive shortcomings of a specific player.  Yung bantay ni Bam ang target ng Miami dyan.  The same way Lou Williams and Harrel were targeted by Denver in numerous P&R's.

In hindsight Karl Malone is second to the all time scoring list mainly because of this play.  Simpleng simple pero napakihirap i-solve if you do not have the personnel to match up and defend against it.

Bukas makikita natin kung gaano ka effective yung P&R two man game ng Nuggets kay AD and LBJ.  Kung si Rondo or Caruso babantay kay Murray eh napakadali para kay Joker yun once the switch is done.  If LBJ kay Murray may size and power kahit na mag switch kya kay Joker.  Ad can hang as well with Murray in terms of speed.

Tingin ko bro wala nang gulatan yan on the part ng Lakers unless may bago na gagawin ang Nuggets or may ibang player na mag step up (Porter comes to mind).  They intend to make a statement tomorrow sa laro.  Anlapit na ni LBJ sa finals. Nakaka amoy na ng dugo yan.  Galing pa sa 2 sets of 7 games yung kalaban nya.  Unless maapektuhan sila ng long lay off and wala sila sa rhythm.

siguro nga. naeexcite tuloy ako panoorin ano gagawin ni Malone. hindi na sya pwede mag rely ky Murray all the time nakita nya naman pano na shutdown ang mga scoring champ ng NBA.. i think Jokic should step up on this.. baka din MPJ time to shine na.

kahit mag 20 si MPJ eh yung binabantayan naman nya will score 20 din eh bale wala.  Prone pa sa turn overs.  Katapat nyan si Kuzma. galing pa man din ni Kuzma gumalaw kahit wala yung bola sa kanya.

sa mga analyst nga puro usaping Jokic-AD match up kaya daw match ang laban. nakakalimutan na naman nila sa LBJ. hahaha

https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/09/17/lakers-vs-nuggets-preview-five-critical-areas-to-watch/

Denver’s defense in the playoffs has been solid, their rim protection improved from the regular season, but it has flaws. Jokic is not great on the perimeter. Michael Porter Jr., for all his athleticism and a few defensive plays, gets lost on pick-and-roll defenses. Gary Harris can be exploited in the pick-and-roll.

For reasons nobody understands — least of all their fans — the Clippers rarely attacked those mismatches. The playoffs are supposed to be about matchups, but the Clippers just kept doing their regular-season thing.

LeBron James will hunt mismatches. Mercilessly.


Prediction: Lakers in five. Denver has impressed these playoffs and deserves to be mentioned with the league’s elite, but Los Angeles is a bad matchup for them. LeBron can have all the coffee he wants — he is a closer of the highest order. The Nuggets can’t fall behind in this series and bounce back.

very true talaga to.. pag hindi mag adjust si malone bakasyon sila nito ng maaga. sa isang article na nabasa ko yan nga restricted area jan sila mahina. yun ang wala sa clippers. kaya sa lakers didikdikin sila ni lebron dito.

Feeling ko. Bibilisan ng Lakers ang laro bukas. Well rested sila, Nuggets galing sa napakaraming do or die game. Mga 80 fastbreak points sana. 😄 Go Lakers!

ECF schedule update: After Game 3 on Sunday (PH time), the ECF will continue four days later with Game 4 on Thursday (PH time) and succeeding games (if necessary) to return to the every-other-day schedule. This allows the WCF to catch up.
We deserve better.

my take is that the Lakers will pound it inside. Once Jokic is in foul trouble,  Denver is in deep crap, Murray isn't effective in setting up others to score.

and the overhaul will start sooner rather than later.....

https://www.nbaanalysis.net/2020/09/17/rumor-clippers-to-look-into-trading-lou-williams-this-offseason/

Flawed naman talaga Clips sa guards nila. One is great in defense but horrible on offense (Pat Bev) and the guy that subs for that dude is great at offense but terrible on defense. Conduct unbecoming pa for a professional player. Nakumbinsi lang ni Coach Doc to report for work in the bubble si Lou Will eh. He then went out to attend a funeral and made that side trip to Atlantic City strip bar. Once he cleared quarantine it is clear that he did not manage to keep himself fit during the hiatus.
