Game was rigged
Props Jason for your appreciation of the nuggets and nuggets fans, putting aside your Laker fandom and pride to say that is more than I can do.
The lakers complaining about officiating. Some jokes just write themselves😂
So…REAVES is Dru Holiday on DEFENSE!
Too bad that very necessary D-LO trade NEVER happened perhaps Reaves would have emerged!?
Lebron shooting jump shots is what the defense wants lol it’s just like the Greek freak if he is hitting shots you would live with that instead of him driving the ball all game going to the free throw line and getting people in foul trouble. The problem is Lebron can’t sustain the same level of play as he use to do years ago, in order for Lebron to beat this team we need the lebron from 2018-2017 somebody that just constantly put pressure on the defense controls pace and space he can’t do that shit anymore he’s cooked.
Bro your obsession for Lebron clouds your judgement you just said you think Lebron James been the 3rd best player since the all star break behind joker and Luka, bro what are you smoking Lebron has not been playing better than Brunson, sga, Anthony Edwards, paul George, wemby, Jason Tatum, CJ McCollum, like are you serious do you only watch laker games 😂💀
I tuned in to the Laker Nation podcast and saw that they were up 10 at the start of the 4th. I knew we were in trouble at that point. It just seemed inevitable before it even happened.
AD went cold down the stretch because he didn’t get the ball anymore to score bro was we watching the same game!
Sometimes the things you say make me feel like you have no idea what you are talking about. How can denver be head and shoulders above everyone else and they are the tied for first in the west with three teams. This is the same roster as last year and somehow they have gotten worse. Maybe because jokic doesnt want to be a real basketball player. He wants to take half of the season off. If they are that good then you have the best podcast in the world, and that all sounds good but couldnt be further from the truth. You bum
Lakers didn’t do everything tho brody that lead we had we lost cause of those missed free throws, bunky ass TO in the 3rd and 4th and then chucking threes like we 60% from 3 is wild then add the but of shit luck with the refs add it all together that’s our L
I love the fatigue factor that gets applied to either LeBron or Ad.
Let's not focus on the fact that LeBron missed a wide open 3 at the end( after making a defender fall down).
Ahsmwm
Jordan is the greatest
Hearing my Denver Nuggets mentioned in the same sentence as the KD Warriors warms my heart.
Lol yeah we aint putting the ref helping lebron and the lakers after one game cus a member of the le'media tell us is dumb.
Hey Jason, love the show man. If you are going to do some mailbag on this game/series:
I have seen a Murray compilation clip where he hits the same fadeaway jump-shot versus the Lakers multiple times over the past few seasons dating back to the bubble. What exactly makes exactly Lakers defensive system makes them so susceptible to this play?
Denver never missed so many open shots,and they still win
Listen LeBron is a great player I have no hate for the man but if you watched the game the Lakers were up by 20 when LeBron had 12 points & 10 assists, letting AD go to work, & DLO be aggressive the minute he decided to start going iso ball the Nuggets got all the momentum & came back but LeBron ended up with 26, 8 & 12assists so on paper when you look at the box score it doesn’t look like he was the reason they lost, but at some point ppl need to see what the problem is. LeBron can go stat pad & go iso mode against any other team but it’s not working against the Nuggets.
2017-2019 the Houston Astros were sign stealing and that's when I stopped watching baseball. Know it has been made obvious the refs are doing what they did a couple of decades back. Good bye NBA✌️
Darvin Ham not challenging the foul on Murray was coaching malpractice
I disagree about the handling of Jamal, they have been doing a good job on him defensively. But offensively, the other role players have not been aggressive that includes, Rui, AR, and Spencer
You say the Lakers looked fatigued but honestly, the Lakers, Suns, and Warriors just look old. They're a step or two slow and three young teams are just smoking them.
Glad the Dubs got one more chip before all these young teams took over!
We didn’t need your LeBron praise before talking about the game 🙄 😂😂😂😂
The altitude has a major effect on the Lakers. I used to live in Denver and when I moved there I was running 6 miles a day. It takes a month to acclimate to the altitude.
I watched the game and the lakers went away from what was working. Especially AD and Russel. Ad on the first half and beginning of the third was just trying to make shots. Not looking for contact or falling down. Just scoring then all of a sudden started standing around trying to draw fouls. Even standing at the 3 point line. It was crazy to watch
The game plan for the lakers should be give AD the ball on his favorite side with DLo next to him at the 3 point line with Bron at the top of the key. Other two guys on the weak side just catch and shoot. That’s How they got the lead and a bunch of easy shots
Bro i am a celtics fan , but respect to ur knowledge and class , you should probably coach the lakers
Bron and Hamm complaining about the officiating is just… Ironic af. They almost quadruple the next team in free-throw attempts (it's like, 1100 free throws vs 300+ for the next team over the past 2 seasons). Lakers live on friendly whistles. They've had 40 free-throw games they barely won this season. Come on, now.
bro talking about 17-13 freethrows like if they actually drove the ball this game. AD took at least 15 middys, bron didnt drive in the 3rd with KCP on him, Rui missed point blank layups. Also conveniently left out how they blew a 20pt lead💀 keep fandum out your reactions bro. we can tell your feelings are hurt
Someone in the chat said watching Jokic must be like watching prime Shaq. Well…not really. The only things similar are…physically huge, and quite dominant. Shaq did that with humongous strength and agility, and just enough short-distance shooting touch. Not a shooter by any means; became a decent passer, but nothing special. Just so physically powerful and agile that nobody could match or come anywhere near. Jokic is obviously very large and very strong, but he depends zero on physical agility…but mentally…dang, he's beyond amazing in seeing the game, seeing the angles, seeing all the pieces…I've heard numerous great players & coaches say the not only sees what's there very completely but sees the future too…how, who knows, he's just unbelievable. And never makes mistakes of the misjudged or "didn't see that" type. And has pretty much every kind of shot, every kind of pass, every kind of counter, it's not like you can "take away his strengths" because what are those…that implies weaknesses.
3quarter, @ 10 min to go, AD has 28pts,
Timeout Denver…
Gordon switches to AD…AD scores 4 more points…
Gordon lockdown…
There’s a graphic on Twitter/internet:
Laker free throw differential last two years including playoffs is +1017. Next team is knicks at + 358 and then Bucks at +344. So yeah.
Mailbag Question: Hey Jason, huge fan of the show for the last few years. Quick question. Despite being a top defender who brings his A game night in and night out, Bam Adebayo continues to be underrated as a defender. I get that at his absolute best, AD can be the best in the world, but his best comes in waves and is never sustained. Bam’s defense translates to top playoff defense year in and year out. He should have at least one DPOY by now(Marcus Smart’s award specifically)Why do you think he continues to be counted out?
The league do wants the lakers to win
Just wait to game 3 it’s going to be freethrow after freethrow for the Lakers
What about
Dlo, vando, rui , bron ,ad ?
