Very aggressive all game long against a strong Nuggets team. Our defense and 3-point shooting HAS to be there every night or else we may not even see the Western Finals. Hopefully Rondo is soon to return, the whole team looks pretty sharp and ready to battle. What a comeback at the end!
Yeah I fully expect Kuzma to be a good #3 during the playoffs, like Odom was to Kobe and Gasol. I am one that has always gave Kuz the benefit of the doubt. I have heard only positive things regarding Rondo's injury so he should be back for the playoffs, 2nd round at worse. Rondo brings championship experience so he will be needed against the better teams.
Teams that scare me the most are the Clippers and Rockets. Rockets are a team that are just due and they are explosive on offense. Yeah they usually choke in the playoffs as does Harden but they still are scary. Clippers are just loaded period. If we draw the Blazers in round 1, we will win. I would not worry about them but I could see it going 6. Dame is a Laker killer.
