McGee was ineffective in both first quarters. In both cases, the second he was yanked, the Lakers went on a big run. I don't think this is because Denver was taking advantage of his weaknesses intelligently, I think he's just an awful, awful player.
Davis has KILLED Jokic when they're matched up in both games, so far. Him playing the 5 is their best option, by far.
To be fair, Dwight Howard was really, really good in game 1. Way better than I would've thought. If that continues, Denver has no chance in the series. But, I didn't feel like Denver attacked him in the pick and roll game enough to make Vogel pay for having him out there, personally.
Interested to see how the rest of game 2 goes.
