The Denver Nuggets recently took a 3-0 lead against the Los Angeles Lakers, and many expect them to win the series as a result. There have been no teams that have come back up from 3-0 down.
With that being said, a series is won by winning four games, not three. When asked about his mindset ahead of Game 4, Nikola Jokic admitted that he’s “worried” about the game due to LeBron James being on the Lakers, noting that the superstar “is capable of doing everything.” (6:40)
“I mean, to be honest, I’m not going to say that I’m scared, but I’m worried because they have LeBron on the other side, and he is capable of doing everything,” Jokic said. “We’re going to come here with the same mindset, same focus, and I think that’s going to put us in a situation to win a game.
“But we never know. They’re going to be aggressive. Of course, they’re going to be extra physical, extra — they’re going to run more, they’re going to — everything is going to be on a different level or one more of anything. So we will see.”
It is right to be cautious about LeBron James, as we have seen the superstar defeat impossible odds in the past, with him notably engineering a 3-1 comeback against the Golden State Warriors in the Finals. Nikola Jokic knows that the Nuggets will have to play their best basketball, as LeBron James is unlikely to go down without a fight.
LeBron James Is Taking It One Game At A Time
There’s no doubt that LeBron James knows how to come back from deficits, and after Game 3, he stated that the goal is to get one game at a time. It is true that the Lakers can’t focus on the magnitude of the task ahead of them and instead need to focus on winning the next game.
“Just gotta get one. One at a time. Just focus on Game 4. That’s all you can think about.”
It is highly unlikely that the Los Angeles Lakers will be able to orchestrate a 3-0 comeback against the Denver Nuggets. However, that doesn’t mean their season is necessarily a failure, and they will have a chance to win the championship next season.
