Yeah he had a bad game until 4th quarter when he decided to get going for 13 pts in final quarter. He is someone who isn't afraid of the moment even when having bad shooting night until then. It's basically what Kobe did his whole career.
Had off night and a DPOY level AD and all timer like Bron switching on him for the final shot? Don't matter just go for it and drain it.
Ridiculous.

Yep, it's essentially 2 vs 4 if you will in this seriee, because AD and Bron allways show up, Jokic and Murray do their thing (inefficiently for Murray). While MPJ and AG will allways get theirs as elite role players.
KCP is like Dlo, one game he is hot and one game he is nada. Like 1st game KCP did well scoring, and Dlo didn't and this 2nd game it was reverse. Dlo was hot but his production was matched by MPJ. But difference is if KCP isn't scoring he gives you elite defense , like AG (and they all know their roles and spots to get their production). If Dlo isn't scoring he gives you nothing.
For lakers besides Dlo hot and cold act, Rui and Reaves have been totally useless. Both scoring and defending. They give you nothing.
Rui played 38 minutes and scored 3. And he is on all that because he is bulky enough (unlike bench guys) and switches on Jokic but can't defend anyways, just extra muscle.
And no one in bench can score. 6 pts from Prince, that's it for bench scoring.
So you can't go through a whole series where you don't have the best player on the court, both scoring and playmaking, and only have 2 players you can rely on each night.
Even when Nuggets taken 3 quarters off both games, they know they have enough to grind down your lead and get theirs. Because they see how flawed your team is.

He is the reverse Harden.
Harden can have an efficient high scoring series game 1-3 or 4. Then comes clutch time for games 5-7 when the lights get brighter. And litterally shrinks infront of our eyes and stops producing.
Murray litterally waits for when things are at its highest stake to get excited and ger his juices going.

"Contact which occurs on the hand of the offensive player, while that part of the hand is in contact with the ball, is legal." Successful challenge by the Mavs.
Rules are rules, but to be fair how can that not be a reach-in foul. The part of Kawhi Kyrie made contact with was nothing but his hand lul.
