Wildes is a low key Lebron hater….what a shame
Rest LeBrons and AD next game. Laker need some tuneup games before they meet the Nuggets. It will give Vanderbilt more time to rest and return to form before the Nuggets. Vanderbilt defense is important against Murray.
Just lose Lakers. You can't beat the Joker. You have a better chance of beating OKC and having another team upset the nuggs.
The Nuggets are going to get caught slipping!!!
Nuggets can 2 peat this year if: mpj, murry and gordon are consistent and the bench being able to hold a lead/score when jokic is resting. This vid was about a lakers team thats goin to be knocked out early
First time I seen these animals together. Good show.
I'm rooting for the Lakers and Bron but at the same time if Denver goes down in round 1 I'm never watching another regular season game again. It will definitely prove the regular season doesn't matter and we as fans shouldn't bother checking in until the playoffs begin.
I have lakers beating denver Bron was not healthy playing on a torn tendon in his foot he wasn’t the same
Zion should play with Wemby.. imagine
Lebron has 2 ankles this year, be worried Denver 😂
You are not playing injured Lakers except Vanderbilt again 😂
Tbf as a thunder fan we’ll be the favorites in the next few years. Need good playoff experience for the youth, but this team is gonna be insane
Let's say Nuggets vs Lakers happen in the first round and the Nuggets swept them again. Will Nick Wright won't make any type of excuses for Lebron?
Wildes' shot at Darvin Ham was hilarious, and I'm all for it.
Lakers need to get Ham out of our diet.
Lakers trying their best for another close sweep with Denver
Dallas would lose in 5. The main Denver threats that could beat them are first the Suns, 2nd Timberwolves, and the Clippers. The Suns could beat Denver in 5
Nick loves having blind faith 😂
Stop acting like the Lakers not tryna avoid Denver! They gone lose to the Pels on purpose then the refs gone carry em for the 8th seed! WATCH
If we had Dwight Howard we’d beat the Nuggets. He had Joker, sour and ejected.
But before that D12 was eating him lunch defensively when they last matched up.
AD is unreliable for boards and points vs Joker and appears to “brittle”
Hahaha they want Lakers to loss to Pelicans and beat the winner of Sacramento and GSW…Hahah that’s the most stupid idea I heard.. Dont push your luck basketball ball is round you never know for sure if you can beat this team or not… espescially GSW or Sacramento.. Win and play hard againts Denver in the first round..
Here's the thing. The Lakers have matchups everywhere for the Nuggets. Rui and LeBron can handle Gordon and MPJ. AD will try his best with Jokic. You've got Russell and Reaves to try with Murray and KCP. But this comes down to coaching. Darvin Ham can very easily either botch this and get swept, OR take this 7 games and see what shakes out. All about coaching and lineups. Talent is not the issue.
I’m with Nick, if the Lakers want to get to the finals they are gonna have to go through the Nuggets regardless. Why not now while they’re rolling, tell Denver to line it TF up. Ain’t no sense in ducking.
lets go lakers 2nd chance against nuggets prove who's the real daddy 😂
2:35 | 🙄 Were the Lakers also "exhausted" on Opening Night, Kobe Statue Night, & LeBron's 40K? 🙄
The gymnastics that all these media talking heads have to do to convince the viewers that the Lakers may have a chance if they play the nuggets is exhausting
I agree with Nick. I know we in the minority. But I’d still pick a healthy attacking and efficient LeBron even at an old age over anyone in the playoffs.
Well ,Nick, 'Murphys Law', actually exists
Lebron will retire in about 14 days. I don’t seen how he can mentally be motivated to comeback another year after losing in round 1, especially if Bronny is not going to make the NBA anytime soon
When joker sees ad the only thing he sees is bbq chicken
I agree play the Nuggets now I like that fresh legs ❤❤❤❤❤
I 💯 feel you Wilds. It could be an Upset
A matter of when you want to be swept, early or late.
I hope the lakers lose. Ima season seat holder and hope Leflop leaves La. Pls retire or something u need more help. Rather he needs someone to carry him
Can't believe we are talking about a play-in team to be the NBA champ esp in this stacked West Conf.
They forget we beat Denver in the bubble
Everyone acting like it’s a foregone conclusion that LA will beat the Pelicans. They could easily lose.
Bro Nick is such a Joke.!The Lakers have a 0.1 % chance of betting the Nugggets today, yesterday, next month. It don’t matter one but when they play them.
6:10 😂 When Bru said "getting to the hole at will" wilds said "my gosh" Like getting to the whole at will is what hes doing too often
Lakers are gonna get blown away like the wind.
How tf is Lebron shooting 51% from 3 but 63% from FT😂😂😂
AD is the ONE for the Lakers. He has to be terrific for them to win.
Stupid Nick doesn't get that Nuggets pick 2nd place simply not to face in semi winner of Clippers-Mavs, winner of of that match up will play in Conf. final and till then they can pick few injuries at key players, that's why they lost to SA.
People actually listen to NIck Wright? He's beyond foolish.
But the Nuggets are better than LA, and everyone else. It doesn't matter when you play them, Denver will win. This is stupid. 😊
Nuggets aren't scared of the Lakers and Warriors. They talked smack about the Lakers only after sweeping them.
Lakers need denver early
33 SECONDS in and I've already given the "like!"😀
