Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets won’t have an easy task in the first round of the NBA playoffs as they face the Los Angeles Lakers.
One of the most intriguing series in the entire NBA is ahead of us. The Denver Nuggets advanced in previous seasons with four wins and no losses, but Nikola Jokic remembers that matchup quite differently. The Serbian player revealed that it’s probably the toughest series he has played during his time with the Denver Nuggets.
“To be honest, every game in the playoffs last season was tough. It was probably the toughest series we’ve had since I’ve been here. Yes, we beat them 4-0, but they have a really talented team, well put together, even though a few guys have returned. I have great respect for them, and I think it will be an interesting series regardless.
