“Can the Lakers Break the Curse of the 3-0 Deficit in the Conf Finals against the Nuggets?”

Tonight the Lakers will try to prove to us that they still believe in it. Unless it is already a way to save honor. Led 3-0 by the Nuggets LeBron James and his boys are up against the wall, and that wall is Everest.

Three games in this series, three victories for the Nuggets, and finally three times… a lot of evidence pushing us to this fatality: the Lakers are not at the level of their opponent in these Conf Finals. Not that it plays badly huh, but it’s just that Denver RECITE his basketball, perhaps the most beautiful score since the advent of the beast Nikola Jokic.

The double MVP is in his prime, unplayable, and sometimes even seems to have some reserve left. Jamal Murray is in Playoffs mode, that means he’s pretty much Michael Jordan, Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Bruce Brown or Michael Porter Jr. are delicious lieutenants, Mike Malone strums like Mozart and Christian Braun would almost do pass Austin Reaves for an overpriced.

This evening ? The swan song for the Lakers. No more no less. 149 times out of 149 the teams having led 3-0 won in the said series. Will this conf final be the exception that proves the rule? Maybe, but nothing is pulling in that direction so far. We therefore rather go on a last opportunity to enliven the Californian public before going to take the fare on Wednesday in Colorado, this scenario being the most positive for the Angelinos as we imagine very well that the series could end on a clear and precise 4-0 in favor of the Serbian ogre and his sure leprechauns.

The time of the crime ? 2:30 tonight. And we talk about crime because it is indeed a fatal sweep that we could experience in a few hours. Are you ready ? The Nuggets have never looked so ready.
