Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: http://sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
Nick "Tucan" wright always defending LeBron legacy 😂
Back to Back sweeps. Facts.
Denver is hardly at altitude lol. 5,000ft is barely noticeable. Casuals thinking they’re running a marathon. 🤷🏼♂️
Some series don't start until a team gets swept. ♟️ Got my FanDuel/DraftKings numbers. Now it's vacation time. 🤣✌️
unpopular opinion: if we gonna accept lebron just pacing himself though out the game til 4th quarter then why not just let him get off from the bench and lead the second team?
The bench scoring or lack of scoring will not affect Denver much. Post season starters play more minutes
Also of not Denver's bench 17pts
Los Angeles' bench 11pts…
Nick Wright is fault finding, he just hates Denver
If LBJ could shoot like Steph he a rule da game or even Melo
How is it so hard to figure out that the Nuggets are just a better team?
🧹
Saying Lebron didnt have help on 60+ Win teams leading the East is INSANE….
Nick: “Lakers have the Nuggets right where they want them. Especially if they lose the second game too.” 😂
WE DONT PLAY A CENTER!!!!!!! Why can’t 1 sportscaster bring this point up…smh…why did we want big man this offseason? Guess we all forgot why…😡😡😡😡
Nuggets have 🧹 down and 🧹🧹🧹 to go
16:04 he figured it out.. get the bull of my points early, so when the box score comes out the fanboys can yell AGE & THE NUMBERS
The Lakers were playing with six guys (cant forget the refs giving them three times the free throws) and still couldnt even get within ten points. AD had a great game and LeBron was playing well until it became clear they were losing. Decent help from role players. Still didnt cover.
It's over. The Lakers are cooked like a Thanksgiving turkey with some funny tasting gravy.
Ah yes, Nick gonna Nick! 😅 😂
teams generally win their home games. Last week they were asking if the Lakers could 'steal' game 1…and since they didn't, the series is over? ok then.
Nick is officially Skip Bayless. 99% of his words are ridiculous and laughable.
This has to be one of the most delussional takes I've ever heard
The Lakers r MENTALLY DRAIN just only in d 1st game of 7! sorry, better luck next year…find a better coach!
I'm hoping for a Denver sweep.
This entire show is extremely high pitched. Algorithm pushes it on me, and every time I listen to their takes, it sounds like a bunch of women yelling about makeup.
I do like Chris, so this isn't shade; only my opinion.
Nick wrong 10 different ways, but never admits it. Guy is a clown show
gonna tell my kids nick wright was the best clown basketball analyst who ever lived.
Nick wrong, why did Lefraud run out of gas? He had 3 days off and don’t play defense. He’s just a choker and not a closer!😂
Laker fan here. We dead
Nick has lost his credibility….he just mumbles cuz his mouth is full of LeBalco's jock strap
This show stinks but 2 guys are good here but need to go be guests bru needs to be a guest everywhere again Nick needs his own show with guests and that loser patriot wilds needs to go big loser like the patriots
If I'm the lakers coach the nuggets don't win nothing because I'd tell a player go out there and break Jokics Knees and then they gonna go home 😂 but nba hates ratings and money based on numbers so I'm not surprised they rigging this for the Lebron Haters This is how Kobe was treated when you get old the powers that be turn on you
We different in Colorado.😂
Nick wrong and his delusional takes never seize to amaze me! This series was over before it even began. Lakers aren't on the nuggets level. Lebum is only good for a half these days. Lakers other 3 starters are far inferior to mpj, AG and kcp. This time lebum should actually retire instead of just talking bout it to distract from getting bounced again
Lakers have had 9 straight moral victories, congrats guys
I Actually bought my Broom before game 1
How do the nuggets have more points in the paint but barely shoot fts
Bui i wish Lakers beat them then i sure these guys would be on the bandwagon
It's a team sport, team everyone has to step up
Nick, how about we make it a concern and look into the Lakers having 13 more FTA than Denver? You get +13 FTA and you still lose by 11 rofl
Where are all delusional FAKERS fans who said Lakers in 6 and they will steal game 1. Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 Oh didn't Lakers figured something out?? I THINK THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO LOSE 9 STRAIGHT TIME. 🤣🤣 Jokić dunking on Lebron. Davis and Lebron 40+ minutes. If this trend continue they will be dead tired. I thought Nick Wrong said Lakers want Denver early because they will be Fresh?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DLO LAKERS SAVIOUR HAHAHA.
WHOS YOUR DADDY. 😁🤣
DLO and AR just need to contribute something. At least 15 points and I believe they can steal tonights game if they play more aggressive. We will see but if they lose tonight yeah its pretty much over.
Lakers in 5
Nick was so strong on the Lakers getting game 1 and here we are 😂😅
How many of Bron's passes were fumbled? Two of his turnovers were fumbled by Rui, I mean, the ball hit him in his hands, and he dropped the passes. Two additional passes were fumbled by AD. So, in fact, Bron had three turnovers. The guards can't guard a shadow. DLo and Reaves were totally lost on defense, pitiful.
“Lakers Fall to Nuggets in Game 1”? It can’t be, “Nuggets Beat Lakers in Game 1”? I don’t begrudge the man any of his remaining playing days, but it will be refreshing when everything isn’t framed with LeBron as the reference point. The man is 39. His team is quite possibly going to get swept in the first round. What are we doing?
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE Nick Wright. I adore him and this show. But him dying on every terrible hill in basketball is not what I want in my Nick wright. The lakers look cooked. The Nuggets execution in the 4th looks so inevitable. How can he not say that failing to steal one at home would not just be game over. How can you say the lakers are going to defend home court when at that point they would have lost 10 in a row.
Lebron could go against the 92 dream team in a 7 game series at 50 years old and nick would somehow think LeBron has a chance to win ridiculous 😂😅
Nick has more faith in the Lakers than LeBron does
They can look into the altitude thing when the nba stops the refs from favoring the lakers by such large margin lmao. 102 shot attempts to 79 and you only get 6 free throws? Give me a break. Ad was mugging jokic every other possession and they didn’t call it one time 😂
Denver won against a 39 year old star wow Dnever is so awsome 😂 what a joke of a fanbase and league the nba currently is
Who’s your daddy?
