Why that play is called spain pick And roll?
Denver 100%
Nuggets in 5. If lebron was in his prime, Lakers in 6 but he’s 147 now and expecting him to be able to carry his team now is crazy.
@@omardiangeloarteaga4875 Because it was popularized by the Sacariolo's Spain.
The "floor captain": we're not to blame, it was that one non-call in the 3rd...
The coach: I have no idea what to do...
Who's going to win? Huh.
Difficult question...
😂😂😂
It's hilarious how AD "locked up" Jokic.. while Jokic had 27/20/10
Seriously, the narrative is in shambles.
Below 30 points and 15 assists. I see a total locking up here.
It's hilarious how most of you don't actually watch games, only stats. Go back and watch how many of those points were actually on AD.
@neverbelieveing5284 YOU didn't watch the game. Jokic scored on AD so much in the 2nd half that Ham took AD off Jokic
@@WindowLicker_-9Yeah idk wtf game he saw because Joker was cookin AD that ham took AD off him in the second half. M
LBJ will play 1 more year, forcing the Lakers to draft his son in the first round, then play a clown season with his son. Then LBJ retires and leaves his son to take all the critics and to be miserable.
I thought Lebron's son was kyrie? He was a father figure for everyone way back in cleveland. Which is the one and only son he clearly needs right now.
His son won’t last 5 seasons in the NBA if that. He ain’t ready yet
the thing is they will possibly play denver next year again
Yep and the exsanguinated corpse of the lakers will need to rebuild for another decade. But lebron makes everyone better, right?
Not happening. This is the time lebron says not yet. Lakers will make this series 2-2 and beat the nuggets in 7. Mark my words
This Nuggets team is one of the most complete I've ever seen. It really is a special group.
Yeah. The Lakers though are playing it great. Won't be surprised seeing them bounce back in LA
Yeah man i agree with you! All players can shoot the ball and all players in roster play defence! Watson is undercover elite player

AD at the press conference after the game says it all !!
The Lakers are cooked. Lebron blaming the refs. AD blaming the coach. DLo blaming the refs. They're making excuses and pointing the finger. When the facts are they had a 20 pt lead and choked it away. There is 0 leadership on that team. There is no accountability. The only way the Lakers won't get swept is the refs giving them their usual FT advantage.
He sick of Lebron selling in the clutch🤦🏾♂️

Darvin Ham just admitted they cant adjust to Jokic. The most honest thing he could have said and should have left it at that
saying "idk what to do" as the head coach in the middle of a playoff series is wild. giving his 2 week notice, basically
@@uberneanderthal Let's see if another coach has the answer
And not only Jokic, but Murray is straight up fxcking the Lakers 😂
Even though everyone is clowning AD for his comments and Lakers I actually feel bad for AD
Bro was carrying them the whole season, played most games in a long time, snubbed for DPOY nomination, defending every dagger from both Jokic and Murray last and this season and when Murray hit the shot he was literally with them when they celebrated I feel his frustration
He’s pissed at Lebron not at the Nuggets
Cry me a river.
Who cares, he signed to pass all the glory to LeBron and get all the blame for few bucks.
Plus he gets no credit, it all goes to Lebron who's not as good as AD. Yet him, the role players, and now the refs if you can believe it get all the blame!
Theyre literally a lottery team without AD!
incredible thumbnail
I'll bet my entire net worth, Bron grabbing headlines contemplating retirement, just like last year.
Fr
also faking another injury
To be fair, he never said he was contemplating retiring last season Lol Chris Haynes jump the gun again because if you notice he was the only one to even report that and had to come out with an apology few months after
AD not so sure about that all "i should be DPOY" statements anymore 😂
I mean it’s jokic. He’s on track to become an all time great.
If jokic retired today, hes top 25-20
Hes already an all time great@@doms5755
@@doms5755jokic could retire tomorrow and would be considered an all time great .
To be fair he's done a very good job on Jokic. If you watch games, you can see that he gets a lot of his points or rebounds when AD is on the bench or when Hachimura is guarding him. Yes, he gets scored on a few times but he's been great. Jokic has no chance guarding AD though, I have no idea why they stopped giving him the ball in game 2.
It's the end of an era
LeBron, Curry, KD no longer the poster boys
Curry still has gas in the tank.
I can't remember anyone who blamed Curry for this season.
And, tbf - I'm not a Durant fan, but he is not the problem, either.

Elite thumbnail🔥!!
I love how low key Joker trolls the Lakers. He was like "I just like the charater Gru" when asked about the Gru look 😂😂
absolute fire to be honest from our video guys
😂😂😂that’s a fact
Paul George gave the salt to Anthony "Best Defender on Earth" Davis
Best defender is all about matchups. Vanderbilt is arguably a better defender than AD against certain player types. No one person can guard all types of players and Jokic is a nightmare. Who can effectively guard him? Embiid? Giannis? Sabonis? Valencunis*? Who can shut down Jokic? Nobody.
LEBRON JAMES HAD A WIDE-OPEN UNGUARDED THREE TO WIN IT ... AND MISSED IT ... AND JAMAL MURRAY HAD A FALLAWAY CONTESTED BY ANTHONY DAVIS AT THE BUZZER ... AND MADE IT!
Well, he was only wide open cause he pushed the defender down.
That is why lechoke will never be the GOAT. Debate over.
@@sunsfever83 That's why you will forever be the overweight unc at the Y hating on Lebron in the youtube comments.
@@sunsfever83didn’t Lebron play 20 seasons so far or something? That’s some mad longevity.
"ham : I don't know what to do"
Yep lakers are getting swept again
Can we talk about Nuggets defense? I have the feeling a lot of people are sleeping on that, maybe cause it's easy to be distracted by the spectacular plays on offense. AG and KCP are monsters on D and when Denver decide to get stops, the whole team works really well. I think LA went 5/6 mins without scoring in the 3rd. That's ridiculous 😅
Man the video would have been 20 minutes long in that case. But yeah! I though their guards did a much better job in the 2nd half - that helped Jokic to drop deeper and solved some problems immediately. They really upped their intensity and flew around the court to ask multiple efforts from the Lakers
the lakers got to the playoffs on the strength of securing fouls and free throws that's gone now so their typical strategy of winning, crying and flopping through the last 2 quarters of a game is not working
No lol they’re still winning the free throw and foul counts by a mile. The Nuggets are just that much better.
The situation at 9:41 explains the deference between Jokic and LBJ, Jokic would always make a return pass on 3, no matter who is on the line...LBJ would not clearly.
absoliut Jokic doesnt care if he gets more then ten or even zero so long as his team is winning, Lebron allways want to be the guy
+1 for the thumbnail alone !

A very detailed breakdown 😂
Watson is undercover elite player mark my words!
He will now face his first PO as a role player and this will either result in growth a bit like for CB or it will show him his limits
I hope he will explode after this season Nuggets need his defense in the future after all
NBA players still don’t understand how to stop Europeans from dominating
The NBA is by far the best league in the world and almost all of the players are American. There’s only a few great Europeans in the NBA and aside from Luka they’re all big men.
Every other European is a role player, complementary piece or mid at best
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t dislike European players, I’m just being honest. I’m Greek and my favorite player is Giannis but even he’s a product of US basketball. European coaches have even said this.
@@LeftoverTake Among guards, only a few white guys have been able to shine. Black players are much faster and strong. Only Stockton, Nash or Luka come to mind as a superstar white guards. But with centers there's not such a handicap for white men, since black ones aren't fast with that size either.
It's those darn Canadians, Murray 😮
The thumbnail ... genius ... laughing so hard :D
What a great vid. Would just point out that it’s a bit subjective what you think an organized play is. In a lot of the “random” pick and roll actions or even Davis iso plays you showed they were targeting matchups. And they often worked in the earlier parts of the game when LA had their legs and before Nuggets adjusted. Sometimes it’s just as simple as one teams adjustments and players being better than the other. As soon as they put AG on Davis, and KCP on Bron their offence stalled. While the Nuggets always get more focused and are just more talented down the stretch. Adjustments or game plan narratives aside, Nuggets and the Jokic fueled system are just better.
That thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😍
0:02 Jamal Murray made a shot.. mic RIP :)
Jamal has proven to be one of the only players on the planet to take AD off the dribble into a stepback.
This was the same plan that coach Greg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs used to defeat the Miami Big Three of LeBron, D. Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat. The Heat and coach Spoelstra had no solution to overcome it. Unfortunately, those Spurs days are over.
That guy Jock itch is dominating the paint!
That thumbnail lmaoo
😅
Refs/league will try and stop another sweep of the Lakers
The show is over, if Lakers have been trying to win since 2022 and haven't even won once what makes you think they can win 4 in a row against a much superior and composed team😂😂😂!.
They went really hard at Jokic and made almost every shot. The dropped of a lift 4th quarter. Makes me wonder if Jokic wasn't tired out at all by being targeted. It looks like they have something but some of those shots AD made were really hard and if he misses even a few of them that gap is not nearly as big. Obviously Denver hit some clutch shots but I think if you play this game 100 time Lakers are only winning 30-35 of them at most.
Fair points. They literally made every shot in the 1st half, that's why it's such a shame they blew probably their best opportunity to win in Denver. The Nuggets guards were much better in 2H going around the picks so Jokic doesnt have to be so high up and that solved a lot of problems, too
@@AugustasSuliauskas yeah it's a great watch. I think the scariest thing is they know how to deal with this now. The coach has a solution he can reach for if this gets thrown at them again.
Awful coaching is 100% worth a subscribe
Good content, not always on point though in my eyes. But a lot of truth in there
I can Imagine BRON'S kids having to deal with videos like this...
BRONS kids don't give a Fk about you haters.
I hate it we gonna have 20 more years of hearing about LeBron as his kid has a 4 pt. Per game average and living off Daddy
Why msm is acting like LA is the defending champions and Denver is the play in team. 10-0 and no one said that Denver is simply the better team vs mediocre LA.
That drop in organized defense coming from Denver defense also...cause Nuggz have best defense in clutch time for 2 years now
True. But a lot of those clips were from 3Q where it's a random possession, they arent pressure and you see AD going alone for a crazy shot, when he's not even in rhythm in G1
You guys talking like it’s over , I’m Denver fan but man there are still couple games it’s playoff. Lakers won’t get swiped easily even tho I’ll like that.
"wide open LeBoring= 80% chance to miss"
AD got those minion shades on too....those hater blockers can't hide the pain tho.
I really "hate" how Lebron's venom has infected so many of his teammates.
Entitled little bi***es.
@@Zett76yeah, it's almost like it's him and not (fill in the blank) that LeBron blamed.
The GOAT....LeScapeGOAT
Shout-out to all my Lehaters
Denver just doesn't allow them Malone is good coach and Nikola starts to understand your offense and as one of greates offensive minds he knows how to stop it
I think this game proved it’s all mental for them
It's not mental, lol... LeBron is 39 and simply doesn't have the legs anymore to put his head down and close out a game like he used to for most of his career...
It's not a coincidence the Lakers have been better than the Nuggets in both games in the 1st half. Because LeBron is still somewhat fresh...
Reaves and Rui having negative impact right now also doesn't help...
A wonderful breakdown!
thank you, appreciate the message!
Nikola THE REAL MVP Jokić is ALREADY IN THE G.O.A.T. CONVERSATION
Great analysis. Better than 99% of all US basketball media.
Great technical breakdown 👌
Great analysis. Joined the channel 👏
I like Darwin Ham, he has kept his composure and sense of humour in difficult circumstances where he doesn’t have a free hand to coach the team because of his star players’ power and when they fail he is blamed for the defeat despite making every game close (in which case it comes down to execution and the Nuggets consistently win that battle regardless of how well or badly they play the rest o& the game).
Nuggets look different among the teams playing right now,almost scarry. Moral is sky high,cxonfidence is off the roof. I cannot see any fear, like soldiers ready to kill.like give them a stick ajnd tell them to attack and they will with out lookincng back
The thumbnail is gold 😂
Stranger things have happened. AD is unstoppable when the Lakers play the right way.
Does anyone think NBA coaches watch these videos and make notes? These videos are good outside perspective breakdowns
Ham definitely doesn’t 😂💀
Lebron could play the next 5 years with Rings, add to his Legacy and enjoy the process. Opt out and sign with the Nuggets for the Vet minimum.
The man’s 39 averaging 25-7-8😂
Tiring Jokic does not work. This guy has incredible cardio. Davis going at Jokic to tire Jokic only tired Davis. Davis didn't touch the ball in the 4th. Isn't fatigue what's happening to LA in the final 2 quarters? I can't imagine, but it seems so. We all know by now that Jokic keeps on running for 4 quarters and that fatigue doesn't seem to affect him at all.

Best thumbnail of the year. 😂
Clicked and liked just because of that thumbnail
Hope the video did not disappoint, too 😅
Lol. Lebron tried to pad his stats in the 2nd half running pnr every single possession.
Ad and dlo both on fire stopped getting touches.
And people gonna blame the coach when lebron had the ball in his hands for majority of the shot clock.
Very good analysis my friend
Lebron has been so "dominant" multiple players have won championships on his watch, he's been swept many times and he has lost 6 finals. 😂😂😂
To lose 6 finals you have to get there right. We can say dude isn’t as great as Jordan due to final loses but we not gonna sit here and act like he wasn’t dominating a league. He literally controlled the east. When he was there.

Great video
10:39, he baited Bron to battle, but sidestepped him when he came forward😂
Crazy thumbnail 💀
I dont think the last brick of Lebron was a nice play. He should have made a drive to the basket and a layup or a pass, he was alone. I don't put my money in a Lebron 3 point shot. He is not Curry.
You're stupid. Bron has been shooting over 40% from 3 the entire year consistently... He was WIDE open with 4 guys in the paint blocking off his driving angle. What he took was a practice shot and about as wide open as you can hope to be in like the last 30 seconds of a Playoff game.
Sometimes they just don't go in, no need to be too smart about it.
That's the coldest thumbnail
MPJ and Aaron Gordon deserve WAYYY more credit than they are getting. Jamal Murray was silent for most of the game. They are the difference makers IMO. Also Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura are playing well below their ceilings
AD's comments about Murray's game winner reminds me of PG said about Dame's game winner.
It certainly seems like if ty lue was coaching this lakers squad, we would have a competitive series. The roster isn't bad, they just don't seem to stick to what is working for them through 48 mins, just the first 24...
Really good non bias analysis 👏
Leclawn is a shame of Lakers legacy.
0:10 how it can be almost perfect if AD did absolutely nothing in 4th quarter?
IQ IQ IQ over muscules ,drugs and showbusiness. Thats all story. NIkola is decent human being. With IQ. All those dozens and dozens of muscule hills are just muscule hills. In Serbia we call them bulls. And we like to drive bulls left and right up and down. :) :) :)

Wait a minute! You just said the Lakers had a nearly perfect game 2. What are you smoking? A nearly perfect game does not include blowing a 20 plus point lead and missing a wide open potential game winner.
That thumbnail is par excellence omg 😂
finally someone who pronounces "Nikola" somewhat correctly
guys i think the lakers figured something out with putting rui on jokic
your Jokic pronounciation is on point, just Nikola is pronounced not like Cola at the end i.e knee-cola, it's nickola, as the I is accented, so Nikola O as in Jokic, short noth the same, even shorter as I noticed you sometimes say it with a longer O
He isn't an American. Americans can't pronounce anything.
The same way you’d pronounce Nicolas. But without an ass at the end
@@antesaric1741😂😂
It’s not perfect.

Great breakdown....It shows the difference between a true championship team and one thats about to be eliminated along with the 2 so called "all stars"....
Lakers have led for more minutes of this series... The problem is Ham is a garbage coach, Reaves and Hachimura have been awful and LeBron is gassed at the end of games because he's 39 and has played 3.5x more minutes of basketball than Jokic over his life...
Pre 2019 LeBron clears this Denver team just by having a higher motor and fresher legs alone.

Offensive Rebounds: Game 1: Nuggets 15, Lakers 6 Game 2: Nuggets 9, Lakers 4
I don't people are seriously considering enough how Lebron might retire after this season if they get swept or lose in five games. Considering the outlook of the Western Conf, I think he'll see that the path for him to win another championship just is not feasible anymore.
agreed maybe his only goal left is to play with his son.

What we are seeing is Darvin Ham coaching 1st half, Lebron trying to take over in the second half.. every time he tries "command the floor" the team loses chemistry, been happening for years now..
AD NEEDS MORE HELP, Lebron needs to retire instead of holding his team back in an attempt to pad his stat sheets and legacy.
Maybe spot them 25 next time

The Lakers minions
@@AugustasSuliauskas
this is a genuinely amazing series. what the last one should of been. The best player in the world - (and one of the best ever - Nikola Jokic) vs LeBron and AD, the Lakers want to win it all, and to do that they need to take down the nuggets, they have to figure out a way and they are REALLY putting up a fight... they had an amazing game 2 and still lost which is unbelievable, even with no all stars on his team, Jokic is just unstoppable, even with a 20 points lead and so many players on fire, Jokic carries the team with no all stars and a team that without him would probably be one of if not the WORST IN THE LEAGUE, and it is still the most unreal force in the league. This playoffs is amazing. New York is beating Embiid who is and always has been a playoff fraud, should not have stole Jokic's MVP because of racism giving it to a black player + "Jokic can't do it in the playoffs" - but he won a finals MVP that year. Ontop of that, Boston Celtics back at it, Dallas and Clippers once again, this amazing series is a rematch, and the other series are great too, there isn't one bad series honestly. Also gotta credit Coach Malone. He's great.
You’re right, it has nothing to do with him being 129 years old, Joker is gonna make him retire
Lol. Great thumbnail 😂
Darvin Ham laughing while being down 2-0 is a joke
