The Denver Nuggets and the LA Lakers will face off in game four of a seven game series. The Lakers are currently leading 2-1 but lost the last game. The Lakers were dominated almost the whole game of game three until they made a late run in the fourth quarter but still came up short. Many analysts on major platforms such as ESPN were calling this series a sweep. The Lakers must be careful since the Nuggets have a history of making comebacks throughout these 2020 playoffs.
This article made predictions on the upcoming game on various different aspects of the game. For example, they displayed the game’s spread which is the amount of points a projected team must win by, and an over under which is the amount of points each team combined must score. The author of this article displayed his reasons why the Lakers could cover the spread as well as for reasons why the Nuggets would cover the spread. A program was run by Sportsline which played out the game multiple times through simulation. In these games the Lakers won 61 times to a Nuggets 33. In my opinion, these simulations cannot be 100 percent reliable. The beauty of sports 1 game isn’t played thousands of times but only once. There are so many emotional factors which play into the game which a simulation cannot predict. For example, the Nuggets last series against the Clippers they were underdogs in every single game. Even though this was the case the Nuggets still prevailed in that series overcoming a 3-1 deficit to stun the entire world and ruin everyone’s hopes and dreams of seeing the Clippers play the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Who knows? It could be the Nuggets destiny to win this years championship. Although everyone may not believe in destiny I do not think that anyone can say that it is impossible for destiny to be real as we constantly see people and events “breaking the system”
This being said, I believe that the Lakers will win game 4 tonight. The sole reason being Lebron James. After his game three loss he constantly hears hate from the media asking questions if he is washed up or if he has lost a step. Every time this comes into the media Lebron always answers with stellar performances. I believe that Lebron and Anthony Davis will come out firing on all cylinders. Lebron will be tearing up the Nuggets defense with his never before seen combination of passing and scoring.
This article was enjoyable to read with a lot of good insight on the game tonight. There was some kind of bias in this article. It was bias which is often seen in articles through major news stations especially when sports are involved. The bias wasn’t between two sides of the spectrum but trying to promote the reader to buy a program. throughout the whole article the author is leading you on to an eventual like to view the simulation. In order to view it a subscription was needed which required you to pay. This was somewhat of a buzzkill to the article.
