The NBA is game of runs. You don’t won’t to hear about a CLEAR foul in the 3rd when that’s during the time they were losing their lead. Never have you been able to make that contact unless you blocked the shot FIRST. Now apparently you can hit all offensive players in the head after they release their shot?
Well the goat pushed and extended KCP to the ground and the refs allowed him a wide open three with all the time in the world to end the game right there too. Why is ESPN not discussing this? how about the phantom and 1 call down the stretch? How about the countless times Lebron dropped shoulder and charges into defense and got calls? Lakers complaining about refs is the most disgusting thing of all time.
Seeing the whole team from the coach down complain about one call after blowing that lead is crazy. Ham is a bad coach man, he has the entire team focused on the wrong things. They are not beating real contenders with that mentality
@NyQuilDonut it helps also he's a legit 6'8" and can jump, has size and is humble. Great teammate. Don't know how they keep the top 4 in house as the contracts come up.
That was also a foul on Jokic, he didn't just throw that ball out of bounds almost, he attempted to get a shooting foul. No reply center discussion on that one, conveniently.
Dude couldn't buy a bucket until it mattered most. But that's the pot calling the kettle black with foul calls. Lakers better pray that Murray doesn't get hot because if he does they're done for.
@@hipking23 Yeah like you up 20 with your stars playing well and DLO gives you a great performance and you still lose. If you don’t win THAT game I just don’t know what game you do win against Denver. That felt like their best shot to make it interesting. I hope i’m wrong but that’s a taxing L
Today's big number is +507. That's the Los Angeles Lakers' free throw differential this season, which is by far the largest in the NBA. LeBron and company have taken 1,983 free throws this season, which is 507 more than their opponent. No other team has a free throw differential above +250. Lebron James better shut up and stop being a sour puss blaming the refs. He has to accept responsibility for missing crucial free throws, a wide open 3 to win, and providing Denver 13 seconds to close the game.
I think you're trying to claim the Lakers get favorable calls from the refs? They get a lot of free throws strictly due to the makeup of their team. It's composed of a bunch of guys who draw lots of fouls while not committing many.

As a neutral observer, when you blow a 20-point 3rd quarter lead you really can't blame the refs. Also, LeBron complained about D-Lo getting fouled, but he also got away with pushing off KCP with 19 seconds to go on that missed 3. I thought Darwin Ham made a few bad coaching decisions. 1) Up 20, he shouldn't have been doubling Jokic. 2) AD was on fire and Ham doesn't run any plays for him in the 4th quarter. 3) I thought Ham should've challenged the foul called on LeBron with 57 seconds remaining. The challenge ended up unused. 4) The Lakers looked gassed at the end. Ham had 2 timeouts left and didn't use them.

Murray was 7-22 for the game before he made those last two jumpers. That's called coming up clutch. He also made two late free throws. It's probably going to be the Nuggets and Celtics in the finals. They're just the two most complete teams. Love watching Lefraud continue to get more nails into the coffin of the idiotic GOAT debate that never was a debate to begin with. That's 10 straight losses now for his Lakers to the Nuggets. How can you be the GOAT with 10 straight losses to one team?
i am not a lebron goat believer, but this is a bad argument, dude is 39 playing on a 7 seeded team. if this was in lebron's prime on a contending team, then you could make this argument
Just cause the games are close doesn’t mean they won’t win the championship. Other than the Celtics, nuggets are the best team. Last year their sweep was also close, but still 4-0

The media talking more about the Lakers losing than Denver winning. They’re talking about one foul that wasn’t called but not mention that the Lakers get 25-30 free throws a game??? Blowing a 20 point lead shouldn’t be no excuse of losing. The Lakers lost end of story
the lakers complaining about the refs will never not be funny. and it's amazing how the media only talks about this stuff out when the lakers are the ones complaining. oh the lakers get 15 free throws in the fourth quarter on a bunch of questionable calls, we're not gonna say a single word about that.
The thing about the hit on the face from what I understood is that the fool was actually called before that, on the contact during the drive, and they consider that it was marginal. And they cannot look at the rest and call another foul on what happen after that.
I didn’t think that one bad call from the replay center made a difference. Lakers put themselves in that last shot situation. It’s like a fighter leaving it to the judges and not finishing his opponent.
ESPN wonders why everybody thinks they are a joke. This incredible comeback win and the highlights are all about the Lakers and the refs. You could make a 10 minute video on the missed calls against the Lakers. Reverse this and they would be swinging from Lakers nuts! Tell me who you want to win without telling me who you want to win!!
LOL! And which they were wrong and refs will admit it today. Does Lakers no good tho. You can be fouled after the ball is released, esp above the neck area. They hardly call it when the hand is "part of the ball".....but not ur face.
@@mkmeabeliever Yeah, and Bron's push on KCP before that last shot could have been called an offensive foul as well. Would they complain about the officiating if he had hit that one? There were plenty of bad call for both sides, as it always happens. To blame officiating when you play for a team notoriously favored by it, and in a game you squandered a 20 point lead nonetheless, is utterly shameless.
@@mkmeabelieverit wasn’t excessive or unnecessary, per the rulebook not a flagrant foul, and not really a foul. Dudes be actually getting hit in the head all the time and not getting calls, they got the challenge right. And you could tell the Laker’s ref was upset that he has to reverse the call, pouting the whole time he was calling it a successful challenge, because it was the second time that night that their attempt to help Lakers win was overturned.
@@tonyparra8736 this is not about how a foul should be called or not, but about how calls are reviewed. Either way, to use one bad call as an excuse for losing a game where they had a 20 point lead is preposterous. One could point to a good number of bad calls that went the other way. Lebron might be one of the best to ever play the game, but he's also a pretty sore loser whenever things don't go his way.
Hahaha the referees thought that 20 pt lead is good enough to make some calls favorable to denver they didnt know it would be enough to make a comeback hahaha pretty ironic for the lakers to blame refs when all season long they benefitted from them hahaha
As a Lakerd fan, this was a huge gut punch. All we can do is focus on game 3, win and regroup. The only good thing we can get from game 2 is that we were up by 20.
Minutes into the third quarter they where leading 68 - 48 and i thought there is NO way they’ll blow a 20 point lead then suddenly i couldn't believe my eyes they went 5 minutes without scoring and allowed Denver to gain their momentum, what a joke🤦
*Payback* *for* *2020* *WCF* *Game* *2* Anthony Davis hits a game winner in the corner to win Game 2 back in 2020. Jamal Murray returns the favor for this Game 2 right over AD’s stretched arms. The last 4 points of this game came from Jamal and they were midrange jumpers over LeBron and then AD. So poetic coming from the coldest hand in that game but is a cold-blooded killer late in games. Jamal really needed to step back and fade back to create enough distance from AD. I think it’s a better shot than the Kawhi one shot in the same area. And I like how Jamal went back to the midrange after being so cold all game. That’s how Jordan won his rings. Don’t fall in love with shooting only threes. Let’s pretend Lakers do pull an upset this year. They win it all. Guess what? They’ll be ONE and DONE. They’re flukes. Denver has potential to be a dynasty. They have the longer runway. You have to think with foresight. LeBron is on his last legs. Jokic may have more MVPs, Final MVPs, and rings than LeBron before this decade is over! Your GOAT, huh? A guy who never launched a championship dynasty. LeBron = #NeverLandGOAT No wonder Nick Wrong who is so jealous of Michael Jordan like many others doesn’t want Jokic to win his 3rd MVP which he will this year. Nick doesn’t want Jokic to tie LeManufacturedDrama in MVPs and rings. Nikola Jokic MVP: 2021. 2022. 2024. 2027. Finals MVP: 2023. 2024. 2026. 2027. Champion: 2023. 2024. 2026. 2027. 🃏 4-time MVP, 4-time Finals MVP, 4-time champion just like LeBalco who will never catch Jordan in rings or as the GOAT. LeBron’s support group called the media is panicking that they’re LeFraud may get surpassed by a guy who looks like a plumber who can’t jump over an iPhone. 🤣 ESPN betrayed Michael Jordan. Before First Take, their signature show was SportsCenter. MJ carried ESPN for many years being in SportsCenter’s highlights. But ESPN betrayed MJ like Scottie and Horace did to praise this LeFraud. The only one who ever kept it real with Jordan is DENNIS RODMAN. He never took shots at MJ or Scottie. Always neutral. Rodman is a real one. LeBron and ESPN are not.
I know its easy to say one play, especially a play in the third quarter, doesnt affect the outcome of the game but theres also something about momentum that we cant quantify. Getting the call overturned and being down 10 to start the 4th vs giving up a foul and being down 12 can alter confidence, rhythm, shot selection, etc. Either way the Lakers gave one away the the Nuggets showed why they're champs
Lebron and Ad performed as expected and i knew Dlo would show up as well after such an off night, but Rui scoring just 3 in nearly 40 minute is striking at this point and Reaves shouldn't score under 10 points ever. 0-2 its over. Lakers just gotta not get swept at the point.
@@adanmartinez8744 Lebron did miss the shot but he was the only one making them in the 4th. Everyone gotta step up and they lost because everyone didn’t.
How is the team with the highest free throw disparity in the league gonna complain about foul calls. We must be in fairy tale because the refs have been calling this way since the all star break. Also if you're the Lakers why switch from your sets that are working? Should've let AD keep coming, tiring Jokic out but instead LeBron took over PG, got his stats and watched the lead evaporate. They should've won this game. Lebron you gotta hit that three, wide open!
We just seen one of the greatest shots of the playoffs and ESPN starts with Lebum complaining a call that had no impact of determining the outcome of the game!😡😡😡
Embarrassing for LeBron to get up there and complain about one call after giving up a 20 pt lead. Bro you lost because you bricked it with 10 seconds left. At least run the clock down!!
They left him wide open because they wanted him to shoot that with plenty of time left and he obliged. That is why they lost. He obviously should have the burned clock and got a last second shot off.
When Nuggets were cutting the deficit to like 5, I can see the Lakers sorta gagging it. AD bricked a shot. Then DLo. Then Reaves and Hachimura. That’s 10 in a row by Denver. And it’s usually the same pattern. Lakers look ready to win it and then they blow it at the very end. But I have to give props to LeBron. He hit a couple of threes that reminded me when he got hot against my Clippers. Then a fadeaway to the side jumper. That layup and1 over KCP. That steal and dunk over Murray. He finally had a great 4th quarter against Denver but in the end, they still lost. I’m well aware how great Denver already is. My Clippers blew a 3-1 lead to them back in 2020. And Denver recovered from a 3-1 deficit against Utah a series prior. My Clippers were up 17 and 18 against them and we still lost. I remember MPJ hitting daggers in those comebacks. Doc was using Montrezl to guard Jokic. SMH 🤦🏻 No Dwight Howard to save you now, Lakers. The only decent big on the Lakers is AD and he’ll get worn out. He can’t guard Joker because Yoke is so much heavier and wider. Yoke was pulling Dream Shake moves like AD was 1995 David Robinson getting schooled by Dream. This ends in 5. Maybe Lakers win Game 3. Perhaps win in double digits. To show they’re not emotionally scarred. Then Nuggets pull out a close win in Game 4 before closing it out in Game 5 at home. I don’t believe Murray is going to shoot that badly again. That entire team minus Jokic and MPJ were bricking wide open shots. KCP was bricking wide open shots. Gordon was airballing. That’s not happening for the rest of the series. And I don’t believe AD and DLo get that hot again. DLo will regress in the next two. Perhaps AD too because he’ll be worn out guarding Jokic. The self-proclaimed GOAT’s team blew a 20-point lead. Now you know how my Clippers felt in that bubble blowing huge leads to them from Game 5 to 7. Or when the Spurs blew that Game 6 in 2013. Another LeChoke job although not necessarily coming from LeChoke except his missed three. There’s a period in the 4th quarter when you can really tell the Lakers were gagging and showing the reasons why they’re only a 7th seed. DLo with a couple of really stupid passes. Then the bricks from him, AD, Reaves, and Rui. Rui did not have a good game. He was missing bunnies. The game was really lost for the Lakers from their turnovers. DLo’s biggest problem is he only scores but does nothing else well for a team. DLo is very one-dimensional. That stupid pass he made to AD that was too high was just enough of an opening for Denver to come barging through. Lost by 2. Both DLo and Reaves are unathletic. They can be a defense liability. The last play, I saw Reaves covering MPJ. He’s too small. Down 20, but still won because Denver has the heart ❤️ of a champion. That’s why they’re the reigning champs. Lakers better make sure to send a Happy Father’s Day card when Denver is hoisting their 2nd championship trophy in June. Make sure to greet your daddies.
If Jokic retired right now he’s a 1st ballot hall of famer. For him to wave off the time out to Mike Malone it shows how great Jokic is. I got him mvp this season
They gotta find some way to glorify him. He's a king, after all. Just ask him. It's so surprising that a guy with his otherworldly basketball IQ .. with 16, 17 seconds left in the game .. with 10 seconds left on the shot clock .. with no one within 6 feet of him .. didn't take a few more seconds off the clock by, maybe, dribbling in a little closer .. maybe driving the lane .. Guess a king just has to take the hero shot .. you know, instead of winning the game. 🤣🤣
That 6’9 guy is 12 years older than the shorter guy, he shouldn’t be able to jump as high at his age. 99.9% of players his age can barely get off the ground.

2 losses like that. There’s no way the entire team recovers from this loss mentally. I’d be surprised if they win another game 🧹
No one's going to talk about Jokers triple double of 27-20-10 puts him with double the triples then every other player who has one in the history of the nba

STAND UP !!!!
Blowing a 20 point lead has absolutely nothing to do with the refs, it’s all on the lakers!
Murray made a shot 😂😂drops 🎤
One of the nerves racking game I ever watched
Blow a 20 point lead and he talking about a D Lo foul call. Bad call for sure but Bron was wide open to seal the game
Nobody talking about how Bron missed a wide open 3? 🥹
Because that didn’t ultimately cost them the game
Lol! They did talk about it. He had a good look and missed it, that's it.
@@mkmeabeliever talking about in the comments
@@Royalwar0305 LBJ likely could have ended the game with that shot. Lakers blaming the refs, yet it was a tie game. 20 something seconds left on the clock. LBJ could have easily been called for a charge on KCP for the extending his arm. But the refs swallowed their whistle. Bricked a wide open 3. Murray called game. There are MANY reasons why the Lakers lost the game, but Lebron had a chance to control his and the Lakers fate and failed
With DLo wide open, standing right next to him.
I don’t know how the Lakers recover from this
🧹💨 they don’t lol.
@@kingcolga1293 americans should be emberesed SERBIAN Jokič came to your league to your country took the legue from youuuuuuu from all of you now its overs

@@cedricspencer720 they sould won that game bye 30 not only the did not score 5 minutes because they did not run any oofense 12 turnovers they give them the bighest free win ever and if you watched the game then you should agree but you will not agree because your american iq cant handle the truth
The media talking more about the Lakers losing than Denver winning. They’re talking about one foul that wasn’t called but not mention that the Lakers get 25-30 free throws a game??? Blowing a 20 point lead shouldn’t be no excuse of losing. The Lakers lost end of story
At this point, Bron should just ask Joker and Jamal for child support. His daddy can't be stopped 😂
I've got nothing else but to thank jamal Murray for constantly proving me right....what a talented two guard.. an underrated version wade
Its crazy Lakers blew 20pt lead and they open the conversation speaking about the officiating 😂
the lakers complaining about the refs will never not be funny.
and it's amazing how the media only talks about this stuff out when the lakers are the ones complaining. oh the lakers get 15 free throws in the fourth quarter on a bunch of questionable calls, we're not gonna say a single word about that.
The thing about the hit on the face from what I understood is that the fool was actually called before that, on the contact during the drive, and they consider that it was marginal. And they cannot look at the rest and call another foul on what happen after that.
One of the best playoff games I ever watched. So epic
Jamal Murray made the shot 😂🎤
I didn’t think that one bad call from the replay center made a difference. Lakers put themselves in that last shot situation. It’s like a fighter leaving it to the judges and not finishing his opponent.
Crying for fouls??? Not surprised. Yet ESPN backs him up. Pathetic
ESPN wonders why everybody thinks they are a joke. This incredible comeback win and the highlights are all about the Lakers and the refs. You could make a 10 minute video on the missed calls against the Lakers. Reverse this and they would be swinging from Lakers nuts! Tell me who you want to win without telling me who you want to win!!
So when this man wins he’s the GOAT, but when he loses it’s the officiating fault. Lebron fans make this make sense?
I think my Lakers are getting swept again. Smh
Super sweep
Yes sweep again
They end those 3rd quarters so bad. That’s why they keep losing
LeSwept again
@@karenboliboli9138 NOPE!!
lol
I have always liked how the games are more loosely officiated in the playoffs. Evidently the Lakers depend on that officiating more than most...
not a foul, contact was made after the ball left his hands. They literally explained it during the game
LOL! And which they were wrong and refs will admit it today. Does Lakers no good tho. You can be fouled after the ball is released, esp above the neck area. They hardly call it when the hand is "part of the ball".....but not ur face.
@@mkmeabeliever Yeah, and Bron's push on KCP before that last shot could have been called an offensive foul as well. Would they complain about the officiating if he had hit that one? There were plenty of bad call for both sides, as it always happens. To blame officiating when you play for a team notoriously favored by it, and in a game you squandered a 20 point lead nonetheless, is utterly shameless.
@@mkmeabelieverit wasn’t excessive or unnecessary, per the rulebook not a flagrant foul, and not really a foul. Dudes be actually getting hit in the head all the time and not getting calls, they got the challenge right. And you could tell the Laker’s ref was upset that he has to reverse the call, pouting the whole time he was calling it a successful challenge, because it was the second time that night that their attempt to help Lakers win was overturned.
That's not how fouls work man 😂 a foul is supposed to be called whenever its committed whether the guy is shooting or not
@@tonyparra8736 this is not about how a foul should be called or not, but about how calls are reviewed. Either way, to use one bad call as an excuse for losing a game where they had a 20 point lead is preposterous. One could point to a good number of bad calls that went the other way. Lebron might be one of the best to ever play the game, but he's also a pretty sore loser whenever things don't go his way.
As long as Jamal Murray is there ... KEEP SHOOTING... I'M HAPPY TO HIM WAS BEST GAME WINNER
Tim Legler & JJ Redick should have their own show
Don't include J. Will though. After his Caitlin Clark takes, he can go.
Jamal Murray with a crazy shot to win the game after being down 20 points ❤ 🇨🇦
Refs been bailing out the Lakers so much, they had to throw a curveball.
Hahaha the referees thought that 20 pt lead is good enough to make some calls favorable to denver they didnt know it would be enough to make a comeback hahaha pretty ironic for the lakers to blame refs when all season long they benefitted from them hahaha
Optimus Dime has to be his new nickname🤣
Denver has proven no matter what you do, all we have to do is be patient and we can weather whatever storm you come with.
As a Lakerd fan, this was a huge gut punch. All we can do is focus on game 3, win and regroup. The only good thing we can get from game 2 is that we were up by 20.
We just watched the best "who's your daddy?" gane.. Lol
"Optimus Dime".. .I don't think I've ever heard a better nickname ever.
Minutes into the third quarter they where leading 68 - 48 and i thought there is NO way they’ll blow a 20 point lead then suddenly i couldn't believe my eyes they went 5 minutes without scoring and allowed Denver to gain their momentum, what a joke🤦
LOL! Nobody thought that but you. 20 pt leads are always blown. 😊
@@mkmeabelieverin the playoffs? When? By the supposed GOAT?
Replay center wasn't a problem when Lakers was up 20 something pts 😂
As the biggest lebron hater In the world it’s so satisfying seeing the lakers lose

*Payback* *for* *2020* *WCF* *Game* *2*
Anthony Davis hits a game winner in the corner to win Game 2 back in 2020. Jamal Murray returns the favor for this Game 2 right over AD’s stretched arms. The last 4 points of this game came from Jamal and they were midrange jumpers over LeBron and then AD. So poetic coming from the coldest hand in that game but is a cold-blooded killer late in games.
Jamal really needed to step back and fade back to create enough distance from AD. I think it’s a better shot than the Kawhi one shot in the same area. And I like how Jamal went back to the midrange after being so cold all game. That’s how Jordan won his rings. Don’t fall in love with shooting only threes.
Let’s pretend Lakers do pull an upset this year. They win it all. Guess what? They’ll be ONE and DONE. They’re flukes. Denver has potential to be a dynasty. They have the longer runway. You have to think with foresight. LeBron is on his last legs. Jokic may have more MVPs, Final MVPs, and rings than LeBron before this decade is over! Your GOAT, huh? A guy who never launched a championship dynasty.
LeBron = #NeverLandGOAT
No wonder Nick Wrong who is so jealous of Michael Jordan like many others doesn’t want Jokic to win his 3rd MVP which he will this year. Nick doesn’t want Jokic to tie LeManufacturedDrama in MVPs and rings.
Nikola Jokic
MVP: 2021. 2022. 2024. 2027.
Finals MVP: 2023. 2024. 2026. 2027.
Champion: 2023. 2024. 2026. 2027.
🃏 4-time MVP, 4-time Finals MVP, 4-time champion just like LeBalco who will never catch Jordan in rings or as the GOAT.
LeBron’s support group called the media is panicking that they’re LeFraud may get surpassed by a guy who looks like a plumber who can’t jump over an iPhone. 🤣
ESPN betrayed Michael Jordan. Before First Take, their signature show was SportsCenter. MJ carried ESPN for many years being in SportsCenter’s highlights. But ESPN betrayed MJ like Scottie and Horace did to praise this LeFraud. The only one who ever kept it real with Jordan is DENNIS RODMAN. He never took shots at MJ or Scottie. Always neutral. Rodman is a real one. LeBron and ESPN are not.
Pat4Clippers no, chicken nuggets already got their payback. Nice try though
Street clothes, "he made a shot" 😅😂😂😂😂.
AD and the Lakers are sick of these Nuggets ! 😂
Denver never beating "who's your daddy" allegations 😂
I know its easy to say one play, especially a play in the third quarter, doesnt affect the outcome of the game but theres also something about momentum that we cant quantify. Getting the call overturned and being down 10 to start the 4th vs giving up a foul and being down 12 can alter confidence, rhythm, shot selection, etc. Either way the Lakers gave one away the the Nuggets showed why they're champs
You lost a 20 pt lead. As a lifelong Lakers fan, go on somewhere with the replay center and officiating. You... lost...a...20 point lead!!!!
Jamal had a game winning 3 point buzzer beater against Portland last year
Lebron and Ad performed as expected and i knew Dlo would show up as well after such an off night, but Rui scoring just 3 in nearly 40 minute is striking at this point and Reaves shouldn't score under 10 points ever.
0-2 its over. Lakers just gotta not get swept at the point.
Yup lebron missed the shot that counts that what we expected from him
@@adanmartinez8744 Lebron did miss the shot but he was the only one making them in the 4th. Everyone gotta step up and they lost because everyone didn’t.
@@adanmartinez8744Lebron had 12 of their 20 points in the 4th, missing that three was huge but let’s not act like Bron wasn’t cooking lol
So no one is going to talk about Lebron bricking a wide open uncontested game winning shot?
How is the team with the highest free throw disparity in the league gonna complain about foul calls. We must be in fairy tale because the refs have been calling this way since the all star break. Also if you're the Lakers why switch from your sets that are working? Should've let AD keep coming, tiring Jokic out but instead LeBron took over PG, got his stats and watched the lead evaporate. They should've won this game. Lebron you gotta hit that three, wide open!
Exactly
We just seen one of the greatest shots of the playoffs and ESPN starts with Lebum complaining a call that had no impact of determining the outcome of the game!😡😡😡
Embarrassing for LeBron to get up there and complain about one call after giving up a 20 pt lead. Bro you lost because you bricked it with 10 seconds left. At least run the clock down!!
Of course you blame the guy 26 8 and 12 for missing one shot. Blowing a 20pt lead is barely one guy’s fault.
They left him wide open because they wanted him to shoot that with plenty of time left and he obliged. That is why they lost. He obviously should have the burned clock and got a last second shot off.
When Nuggets were cutting the deficit to like 5, I can see the Lakers sorta gagging it. AD bricked a shot. Then DLo. Then Reaves and Hachimura. That’s 10 in a row by Denver. And it’s usually the same pattern. Lakers look ready to win it and then they blow it at the very end.
But I have to give props to LeBron. He hit a couple of threes that reminded me when he got hot against my Clippers. Then a fadeaway to the side jumper. That layup and1 over KCP. That steal and dunk over Murray. He finally had a great 4th quarter against Denver but in the end, they still lost.
I’m well aware how great Denver already is. My Clippers blew a 3-1 lead to them back in 2020. And Denver recovered from a 3-1 deficit against Utah a series prior. My Clippers were up 17 and 18 against them and we still lost. I remember MPJ hitting daggers in those comebacks. Doc was using Montrezl to guard Jokic. SMH 🤦🏻
No Dwight Howard to save you now, Lakers. The only decent big on the Lakers is AD and he’ll get worn out. He can’t guard Joker because Yoke is so much heavier and wider. Yoke was pulling Dream Shake moves like AD was 1995 David Robinson getting schooled by Dream.
This ends in 5. Maybe Lakers win Game 3. Perhaps win in double digits. To show they’re not emotionally scarred. Then Nuggets pull out a close win in Game 4 before closing it out in Game 5 at home. I don’t believe Murray is going to shoot that badly again.
That entire team minus Jokic and MPJ were bricking wide open shots. KCP was bricking wide open shots. Gordon was airballing. That’s not happening for the rest of the series. And I don’t believe AD and DLo get that hot again. DLo will regress in the next two. Perhaps AD too because he’ll be worn out guarding Jokic.
The self-proclaimed GOAT’s team blew a 20-point lead. Now you know how my Clippers felt in that bubble blowing huge leads to them from Game 5 to 7. Or when the Spurs blew that Game 6 in 2013. Another LeChoke job although not necessarily coming from LeChoke except his missed three.
There’s a period in the 4th quarter when you can really tell the Lakers were gagging and showing the reasons why they’re only a 7th seed. DLo with a couple of really stupid passes. Then the bricks from him, AD, Reaves, and Rui. Rui did not have a good game. He was missing bunnies. The game was really lost for the Lakers from their turnovers.
DLo’s biggest problem is he only scores but does nothing else well for a team. DLo is very one-dimensional. That stupid pass he made to AD that was too high was just enough of an opening for Denver to come barging through. Lost by 2. Both DLo and Reaves are unathletic. They can be a defense liability. The last play, I saw Reaves covering MPJ. He’s too small.
Down 20, but still won because Denver has the heart ❤️ of a champion. That’s why they’re the reigning champs. Lakers better make sure to send a Happy Father’s Day card when Denver is hoisting their 2nd championship trophy in June. Make sure to greet your daddies.
Pat4Clippers we’re going to see this all day aren’t we? Copying and pasting. No Clippers essay? Have you learned your lesson??
Optimus Dime?????? THATS FIRE 😂 no way she came up with that
I remember tuning into the game seeing them up by 20 and just thinking to myself “that won’t last long” 🤣
Its OVER for the lakers 😂😂
LeExcuse doing what he does best. Not being clutch and blaming others for his failures
Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter showed up and showed out.
Late game, but a great game! Well worth watching.
BSPN is the only one living in a Laker-centric world, Greeny,
If Jokic retired right now he’s a 1st ballot hall of famer. For him to wave off the time out to Mike Malone it shows how great Jokic is. I got him mvp this season

A 6”9 guy blocks a shorter guy. I don’t understand it
They gotta find some way to glorify him. He's a king, after all. Just ask him.
It's so surprising that a guy with his otherworldly basketball IQ .. with 16, 17 seconds left in the game .. with 10 seconds left on the shot clock .. with no one within 6 feet of him .. didn't take a few more seconds off the clock by, maybe, dribbling in a little closer .. maybe driving the lane ..
Guess a king just has to take the hero shot .. you know, instead of winning the game. 🤣🤣
You nuggets fans are some obnoxious c*nts lol
That 6’9 guy is 12 years older than the shorter guy, he shouldn’t be able to jump as high at his age. 99.9% of players his age can barely get off the ground.
The shorter guy has two acl repairs surgeries too.
