Did you know that if you combined the free throw differential of the teams in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place the Lakers would still have a comfortable lead over that team? 3. Did you know that the Lakers have shot more free throws than their opponent's in 19 out of the last 20 games? The one game they shot less was by 4 free throws. 4. Did you know that during a recent game where the Lakers played the Timberwolves they shot 31 free throws to Minnesota's 11?

If you looked at it last season. Denver won because of their bench, and like Gil said.

[@dsmvfl363]

The nuggets said the only team that gave them problems was the wolves

[@derekduram4514]

And the Lakers beat the wolves. This is a new season bro

[@hangtime1111]

4-0 or 4-1 is the question

[@keivenkirk2791]

Mr Arenas you talking real ish!! Bron+Ad =Jokic +Murray comes down to the other's period 💯!!!!!!!!

[@user-EB2016]

Norris definitely haven't really been paying attention saying Denvers bench is "tough". I'm a nuggets fan and our bench is our weakness this year. Hell our bench cost us the #1 seed last week. Stop basing how good the bench is off of a couple of highlight dunks.

[@Eren-Yeagar]

😂😂😂😂AD and Bron beat Denver in the WCF before

They forgot all about that 2020 gentleman sweep bro lol 💜💛

That was 4 years ago, both rosters aren't even remotely similar anymore

When did everybody become nuggets fans 😂

[@Desnond]

The same way the media and all you fanboys became delusional lakers fans

[@shayneraymond4207]

The x factor is D Lo its that simple

Calling it a play in championship to make Lakers sound good 😂😂

[@anthonydixon9713]

People fail to realize that the nuggets won the series by a total of 24 points

[@Tumorcoach]

That’s cool still was a sweep…. And people should also realize lakers are garbage defensively and aren’t as efficient as the nuggets in the clutch or 4th quarter efficiency

[@logicallyinsane430]

Best chances for the lakers is to play game 1 like it’s a game 7 and stl game 1 then they just have to win all they home games and series won 🎯🎯🎯

[@mario6150]

U make it sound like it's gonna be that easy

[@jerrybutler3062]

Play through AD. He HAS to try and get jokic in foul trouble. Can’t let him relax on defense and that’s on AD and Ham. That’s the only chance they have and that’s to make jokic have a seat on the bench. Puncher’s chance at best

[@tejasbawa]

Gil is absolutely right. The avg point differential in last year's series was 6 points, all 4 games were decided in the last 2 mins, every game was a coin toss. If DLo played to his average last year, Lakers' woulda swept the Nuggets and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Gil is crazy. Denver whole team stepped it up this year. It’s going to take the whole lakers squad to play great against a team like the nuggets
