NBA – Everyone was expecting a clash between the two Los Angeles franchises. It was without counting on the mental strength of the Nuggets, and the weakness of that of the Clippers. So it will be a Lakers-Nuggets conference final. And it starts… tonight. Can Mike Malone players repeat their previous exploits? Judge!
The Nuggets in Confidence
But what a team! After beating Utah going up 1-3 in their first heat, the teammates of Jamal Murray put it back against the Clippers. And in what way please. Led by nearly 20 points during game 5 and 6, the Denver Nuggets came back twice, before winning the matches, as well as the game 7. Limit insolent history.
A scenario that can only bring confidence Denver before facing the Lakers. Especially since the Jokic-Murray duo is making sparks. The Serb has increased his average by more than five points. As for the leader of Nuggets, that’s almost 9 points more on average per game, it’s working hard in the bubble. With the excellent contribution of Gary Harris and Michael Porter Junior, yes, the Lakers are going to have to respect this team, like the rest of the league. The only problem for the Nuggets, will fatigue not be too present after 14 games played? Because the Lakers them, will be in good shape.
One more soul
No injury on the side of the King, no injury for A.D, Javal McGee back, let’s keep our fingers crossed to keep this going. Because if these Lakers want to recover the title, it is this year. The elimination of Clippers by the Nuggets can be a good deal even if the tactical plan changes. And then the Angels have won their previous series 4-1. Less force released on the floor and more time to rest, in other words LeBron James and his teammates are ready to come back and do battle. Filling out the historic NBA pages with each series, the All-NBA First Team duo – and LeBron individually – still have lines to write.

Add a Dany Green fit, a Markieff Morris who awakens and a Rondo region found, courage Nuggets! Especially since The Lakers, even without spectators, will have in them the soul of a certain… Kobe.
While Miami leads 2-0 against Boston, the Finals appear to be waiting for Los Angeles. Be careful, nothing is done yet. After all, the Jazz seemed to pass the first set and the Clippers were heading straight for a conference final. The Denver Nuggets having thwarted everyone’s plans, why not those of Lakers in order to achieve the unthinkable, again. But the step seems very high and fatigue could well take over. The first preview takes place tonight at 3 a.m. A first game to remake history? Finals in sight!
