Why Anthony Davis always struggles to perform both defensively and offensively against Denver Nuggets and more specifically against Nikola Jokic? Well here's...
Jamal had an all time WCF… specifically because AD played off Jokic. Neither Lebron nor RUI could get to the level of the screen fast enough to pressure Murray. Lebron guarded Jokic a 4th quarter didn’t allow any points to Jokic and the media made a huge deal about it, then the Lakers never went back to it. Which I believe they went back and watched the tape and saw how Denver targetted Lebron on the pnr.
sort of kind of
one on one, yeah
but as a roamer, he did great, which probably is the best way to play Jokic for any team
Jokic last year had 0 instances where in back to back games he shot below 50%
vs lakers when they went to AD roam, LeBron/Rui guard Jokic, he had back to back to back under 50% shooting games, .534 TS those last 3 games
Jamal having an all time wcf is what put Denver over
Gordon and Bruce Brown also destroyed the Lakers in transition
