I think it’ll be over after these four games. Denver’s only hope was for someone else to take the Lakers out. |

| I have no idea what this series is even going to look like after this Warriors series.. no other team play like Golden State so it’s going to be bizarre seeing traditional matchups without constant switching every defensive possession. |

| Will be interesting to see how Darvin chooses match ups.. as great as Jokic looks, he can't guard AD and they have nobody to guard LeBron. We can stick Vando and Dennis on Murray. |

Mo Bamba could be ready for this series. We could use him to throw another big at Jokic.

What if he balled out, would be amazing
He is in a contract year so wouldn’t be crazy |

They are going to be tough. Do we play vando? If we do, they will put Jokic on him.
Whatever happens, this team has overachieved already, anything is house money for me as a fan |

Ok who guards who.
Vando guards Murray, LBJ Gordon? Or porter. |

No, AR on Porter, Gordon is too big. If vando plays, they might put Jokic on him |

| Davis vs Joker is going to be fun. I hope Davis doesn't commit silly fouls in the game because he needs to avoid foul trouble. I wonder if we use Vanderbilt back in the starting lineup to try to slow down Murray. |

Need AD to frustrate and get Jokic in foul trouble.
If AD wins the match-up, we win this series. |

Jokic gets bothered by bigger bodied players in the paint, Tristan Thompson maybe get a few mins to bang bodies maybe? He could force Jokic out of the paint which is slightly better than Jokic in the paint.

| AD has to be on the offensive. It can't be the other way around with Jokic. The way to beat the Nuggets is to make Jokic work and keep him in foul trouble. |

| Vando/Rui/Gabriel will have big roles in this series, even Bamba might get some burn. Going from a guard-heavy series to big-wings. |

It will depend on how well Tristan can prevent Jokic from getting to his spots. If he can do that effectively, then he is worth playing a couple minutes a half |

Thats a good point and we need to score to be able to keep up with Denver. Starting Schro for his defense on Murray might be key here |
