Im disappointed by MPJ….as a Nuggets Fan I want him traded aftwr this Season. MPJ wanst aggressive and doesnt look motivated anymore. i dobt mind Demver losing….at least mske it competitive
Not a fan of either team. Don’t believe either of these teams are top 3 in the league. But kinda obvious this win by the lakers doesn’t show much or proves much. What’s with people tryna prove every game means something….
It was a good win for the Lakers, but not much I can take away from it in regards to a head to head series against Denver. I'll be more impressed if they can beat Milwaukee tomorrow.
Chicken Nugget fans remember: Lakers 17, Denver 1…. You are not on the Lakers level…
Nuggets fanbase has become one of the most annoying in the league. They’re like the new Warriors fans.
imagine Microsoft hit you up and you think, ill make an ad about the most boring player, for the most boring sponsor. love ya work mate
The irony of a Microsoft sponsored segment talking about Kawhi. Literally Balmer paying to talk up his own player
Honestly I'm happy for Lakers fans. Losing those playoff series must have been so embarrassing. Enjoy these regular season wins ❤️
Hey Jason, thank you for your always interesting and thorough analysis! Much love from Germany. I coach a youth team in a similar sport (handball, more common in Europe), so I really enjoy your tactical insights. I'd love to know more about your process of evaluation!
Mailbag: How do you go about evaluating matchups? Does strength always beat speed, or the other way around? How do you come to the conclusion, that one team matches up well against another? And do previous results factor into that decision (i.e. Lakers won 3 of 4 vs Clippers, so they must fare well)?
Laker haters suck😂😂😂
Defenseless chicken nuggets😂😂😂
ANYONE THAT DOESNT MENTION HOW ABSURD AND RIGGED THE DONCIC TRADE WAS ANYTIME THEY ARE bloviating about how good the lakers are IS SO SHORT SIGHTED AND IN THE BAG FOR THE NBA.
This display of how bad the Heat are is exactly why Jimmy wanted out. He was carrying that team well beyond their capacity, and they refused to get him help.
Nico deserves a statue outside Crypto.
Should beat the chicken nuggets by at least 20
How am I just now finding this channel 🤔🤔 this is absurd
The two points about Kawhi are very true… but I’m sure getting paid $50 million a year to sit on an NBA bench for half of the season every season doesn’t hurt lol.
Just here to let you know that i ppve the integrated film with podcast format but usually the algorithm doesnt show them to me and i have to seek them out manually and i end up missing them often. Not sure what you could do about that but i thought you should know
Hey man! Can you start showing actual gameplay as you do your breakdowns. Not sure why you stopped
Ar 15 is better than Tyler right now
Austin Reeves and DK lost by 3 to a FULLY HEALTHY DENVER. We will smoke them healthy.
W Jason as usual 💪🏾🐐
One of the best podcasts and the best analyst in the game
If u ever let a fan join the show I can tell you wat happened to Denver last night Brown did not play within the system which did not allow them to get into a offensive rhythm
Jason,
Really enjoy how you break down basketball, the best in the business imho…
I have a question regarding defending a 3 pt shot.
The common and often only thought is that you close out on the shooter and contest with a hand on the face or block the shot.
Watching the Lakers and who knows better what bothers a shooter than a shooter like JJ,
I see a few times Lakers defenders don't close out but jump as high as they can with their arms up somewhere obstructing perhaps the vision of the shooter and most of the times i see the shooter miss that shot. Rather than ascribe the good 3pt defensive numbers for the Lakers to luck due to shooting variance, i think there may be something to this type of defense….
Can you comment….?
3 games we have shown we can defend then way better then they can defend us even without LeBron so no they’re not unguardable
Where would the Lakers be without Luka? AD has played only 31 minutes since the trade. Luka has 550+ for the Lakers.
Hope I don't lose my man card for this, but does anyone else think Jackson has really pretty eyes?
Nuggets are cooked 😂😂😂
Cheap Kroenke ownership handicapping all time greats in multiple sports now. Aaron Donald and Jokic both super elite players in their sports limited to one chip in large part because of the cheap owners.
