Look at how Pop guarded Shaq, it’ll be more of the same. From ‘01 onward Kobe led the Lakers in shots in every single one of those series. That was the Spurs’ goal. Anyone but Shaq.
Wemby either won’t be on him at all, or Jokic will be seeing a crowd after the first dribble.
You don’t just...
I don’t understand calling Rudy’s defense into question because he can’t guard Jokic on an island :lol:

We know he’ll be the fall guy for the roster shortcomings that will cause their elimination from the playoffs.
So his next gig after the Lakers will be what’s interesting.

The formula is simple.
Defensively double Jokic. They blew open game 2 because Denver didn’t make a single play out of the Jokic double team. Turned it over half the time. I’d make them prove they can actually...
