I think the Lakers take the next two, I thought they got this one already but Ham went with his 3 guards lineup when we just built a double digit lead. And DLo especially looks unplayable this series, so they usually exploit him quite easily. Ham needs to introduce a big in the rotation, since the blueprint is Hachimura/James on Jokic and AD helping off Gordon/Green (which he again went away from for some reason for parts of the 2nd half). But in that case, you can't have 3 guards since it leaves one on MPJ who is 6-10. And even 2 guards and Vanderbilt (who's on Murray) leaves MPJ with a mismatch.
imo they should alter the minutes so they get preferred matchups. Denver doesn't use a center when Jokic sits, and that's where James can take advantage. So if they take James out early for Hachimura, they keep the same defense on Jokic, but then when Jokic goes to the bench they can take out Davis and sub James back in. Same with Vanderbilt on Murray, if he sits, Schröder needs to come in for his defense, but then you can't have DLo out there. And Troy Brown hasn't played this series, I guess he can guard their wings better than DLo atleast, who's been a hole on defense.
The problem might be that their front court is thin, since they will need a lot of minutes from James, Davis and Hachimura, and it will affect their usual rotation. Maybe Bamba recovers but who knows how well he is right now and they might have to activate Gabriel or Thompson before he's back anyway/rant
