Great job on the dnvr stream my dude
I think kd will play but he might be playing injured this whole serious if he does
What do you think of Jokic with only 1 foul shot? Who works more inside and gets no foul shots? I'm just a fan but I think I can see fouls against Jokic seemingly on most plays.
Nothing new that the Knicks win had the shortest segment.
Easiest series of LeBron playoff career. They wanted Houston. Horrible team even without KD lol. Media thinking Houston was better is why media is a joke ANT needs more help. All other west teams are getting better. Anthony always looks gassed in the playoffs.
Worst basketball game ive ever watched. Absolutely embarrassing.
Soo… How does y’all’s Anthony Edward’s being the best player in the world potential sound now? 🤡
Why did the lakers draft adu thero at 36 when when they could have had jamire Watkins who the wizards drafted at 43. He 24 6'6 athlete wing that can shoot the 3 and play defense. He ready now player not a project. That's the wizards locked him up on a 2 year deal after his rookie season
Bro you said Lakers had no chance! Lol
I find it funny how people don’t realize how good the Cavs are, very obviously the best team in the east, just put up 120 points on a top 6 defense like it was nothing. That means the raptors defense isn’t bad at all the Cavs are just gonna do that to every team in the east.
As okc fan it was absolutely disgusting basketball by HOU and LAL
The rockets were good without KD vs bad teams they are around -5 vs top 15 without him
I’ll say it again the role players play better with LeBron and no Luka. It’s why I completely disagree with Lebrons best chance to win is to stay with Luka. People seem to not get how lazy of a player Luka has become. Him getting out of shape was just the physical representation of that. This idea the role playing talent isn’t good is just a way to protect Luka honestly.
Ayton is a starting center on multiple playoff runs once making it to the finals.
Rui always performs in the playoffs and shoots 48% from three for his career in the playoffs.
Smart has been in the playoffs forever on good teams and preforms.
Luke is still a 44% three point shooter in the playoffs.
This team has way more battle tested and better performing players than they get credit for
Lebron's hustle on defense was next level. I am in awe.
I think two neutral factors favor the Nuggets in certain games:
1.) If the whistle is soft, this heavily favors the Nuggets because they get less discombobulated from it and are better at shooting free throws.
2.) If both teams are playing a bad/sloppy game, this favors the Nuggets because they have a much higher floor than the T'Wolves.
What is not talked about is how much better rockets defense also js with Kd on the floor. If he plays lakers don’t win another one
Jason is misjudging Nuggets vs. Wolves. Nuggs in 5 is the most likely outcome.
Lebron x Wade
Lebron x Kyrie
Lebron × Donavan Mitchell ?
Did Jason really call Dlo a high IQ player? So baffling that I didn’t hear a single word for the rest of the video
Murray with 30 points with like 4 made shot and none of them 3s 💀💀💀💀
Yes sir, Laker gang takes game 1. Luke Kennard and Bron showed out, big ups to Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes for playing great minutes tonight.
Man, that KD trade is looking absolutely terrible. I really wouldnt consider it much of an upset if KD isnt on the court.
The Lakers used Bronny to bring the ball up just to give Bron a break 😂
Luke Kennard in one playoff game with the lakers >>>>> 4 playoffs with AR
I think Wolves need better leadership. Talented team but extremely undisciplined.
It's not that difficult to deter.ine if Lebron will be impactful on the Warriors. All you have to ask is whether or not they beat Phoenix if Lebron is there.
Durant is a drama queen. He most likely could have played and just sat out to show his team they need him. Durant already talked crap about his teammates on the burners during the season.
Wolves wasted a rare good Rudy offensive game they might be cooked
Great to see you at the DNVR watch along! Please do it more!
Lol smart doesnt have the second highest iq 😂 dude glaze so damn much
Jamal Murray shot 7 for 22 which is 31.8% and 0% from 3, where was he efficient? Nuggets always get glazed no matter the circumstances and I don’t get it.
They are gonna press next game for sure, so question becomes do the lakers have ball handlers to bring the ball up the court. Bronny is going to be key here as he has the speed to counter this if he stays poised
