And of course there’s no doubt who the mvp is.

it's just a horrid matchup for LA.
It's a tough matchup for most teams. But the Lakers are built through AD in the post-season and when you build your team around size then run into a team with the best big man in a quarter century, you're probably gonna lose.
They do what LA does but better.
The team that beats them, if a team beats them, will be a team that does something different and executes it at a slightly higher level than Denver does.
To go to football, that's been Buffalo's problem. They tried to build a team a lot like KC, but KC is just better at being that team than Buffalo is. Miami has a smiilar problem (especially now that KC appears to be gearing its offense in a similar manner to Miami).
Now the good news for Buffalo and Miami is that its 1 and done. Weird things happen in single-game elimination.
But man, in a 7 game series you're really drawing dead if you are built like your opponent and your opponent is just better at it than you are. You're not gonna steal 4 games. You MIGHT steal 2. But you're still going home.
This was a death matchup for LA the moment it was set. I just didn't see a reasonable path through it for them.
