What do you think of LA's final play? I was thinking the coach should give it to AD to tie the game during the last timeout.
The Nuggets anticipated that play, they knew it's going to end up with LeBron forcing the lane because Jokic have 5 fouls and they have a better chances in winning if they have sent it to overtime. But then again the Nuggets knew it so it wasn't so surprising how Murray had a perfect help defense in the last play, because that was the defensive play they have designed.
That was a great anticipation play. Murray already had his eyes on Lebron before the ball was inbounded. I thought that should have been the cue to kick the ball out to AD who was was unguarded. There should be plenty of time for him to take a two or three. I guess Malone outcoached his counterpart again. It will be a nice battle between him and Spo should Heat finish off Celtics.

Lakers will probably stick with what they have now because they are actually creating a good chemistry.
They actually still look good with their squad but they will probably let go of Russell. Keep Reaves.
