Why Anthony Davis always struggles to perform both defensively and offensively against Denver Nuggets and more specifically against Nikola Jokic? Well here's...
This is such a dumb post. The rest of the Nuggets killed us much more than Jokic individually. How can AD be expected to guard an MVP while also making up for Reaves/DLo getting cooked off-ball AND keeping Aaron Gordon and MPJ off the glass. Ridiculous expectations.
Yeah, it wasn’t even Jokic’s best series IMHO since the Suns series was his most dominant. It was more of how Jokic taking out AD’s defense in the paint by just being so much bigger and stronger than him enabled the rest of the Nuggets to go crazy attacking the rim, which caused the Lakers over load the paint and made Denver’s shooters go crazy too.
Jamal Murray was looking like Kobe Bryant averaging 33/5/6 on 53/43/95

True, it was a team failure
