I think AD can neutralize Jokic better than any of the remaining centers and it will be a replay of the results of the bubble series.

If we compare the stats of Davis and Jokic, we can notice that Davis' strength is his defense in the paint and ability to grab rebounds well, while Jokic's strength is his ability to adapt and be a versatile player on the court. So it should be interesting to see which one of these two guys will dominate in the paint, but I think Davis is unlikely to be able to completely neutralize Jokic.

I was expecting Denver to have a rematch with GSW in the finals but well, this one is also another interesting series because it's another rematch of their bubble's series. This rematch though is different since Jokic finally had some reliable players to help his team. Jokic and AD are very capable players but I doubt they can fully stop each other's plays, especially on the Joker. Before, it was Dwight Howard that made Jokic's life difficult and probably set the tempo for the whole series. Howard was there to annoy Jokic while AD was free to focus on his offense. I am rooting for Denver this time. Jokic is just too versatile and now that he's got good teammates he will be more capable than AD. Denver's defense is more likely to shut down AD in some of their games than the Lakers' stopping Joker from contributing in many ways to help his team.

By the way, game 7 between Philly and Boston just got started. I want Philly to win but they might lose their chances when they let Boston force this deciding game.
