Well, he finally is healthy. He's played the most games in 8 years now. Keeping my fingers crossed for his health.
Lakers and AD still can't beat the Nuggets and Jokic healthy or not
AD is not healthy right now, he's just playing through it. I don't know if it's him or the team that would sit him out a lot, but AD right now is coming through for his team. Props
@@GeraldThompson-iu8ksbetter coaching and it's a Lakers sweep
@@GeraldThompson-iu8ks Shoot I would take the Nuggets over anyone right now so that ain’t saying much
@@datsapaddlin So why I texting them clown be quiet
4 players on the same team having a double double is insane! 😮
One with triple double
Its what happens when the ball isnt going through lbj for the entire game.
@@Budderz__not really but I get wat you’re implying
@@richardmatthews2807 yes really. When bron doesnt play, other players eat. Just because he gets assists doesnt mean hes really sharing. His usage rate is insane and everyone has to turn into a spot up shooter when hes on the floor. Its been like that since the cavs.
@@Budderz__LeBrons usage rate and shots attempted per game are the lowest they’ve been since 2013…the lakers are 6-4 without Lebron. They do not do this everytime they play without Lebron.. and also if you watched the game there was a lot of stretches of bad basketball.. hence why they went down 20 points. Credit to them for the comeback though
Tim Legler needs his own show..He actually knows basketball
Blowing a 19pt lead with 8 25 left in the 4th is nasty work
The score was 94-75 with 7:45 left
Classic doc choke
@@skiegehrig1035 you are correct but 8 25 when was possession changed immediately after the Bucks biggest lead (94-75) so I'm not wrong either
Almost makes u forget that they were also down 19 after the 1st quarter 😂
Just a foreshadowing of what’s yet to come in the DOC era
It’s safe to say the West has way better teams than the East everybody in the West has to play their best every night look how close 6-11 is that’s crazy
We already knew that buddy 😐
@@jayhinds9251you’re right..its been like this since like 2010 or something……west has been a bloodbath…in the east you always knew who would come out: either Lebron or the Celtics
KD and Kyrie kinda fucked the west coast all up.
Literally everyone knew this
I saw a post that says the Lakers record this season would have them sitting in the fourth spot in the conference just a year ago lmao. All those teams got exponentially better quicker than expected.
I know AD ball out. But you have to give AR15 his props. He made some big shots!!!
& Rui clutched up with boards and points
Dlo free throws as well
Wish all these guys would play lime this all season. Because I love these core players.
But if AD didn't show up it doesn't matter what AR15 did. But if these 2 can play like this when Lebron is playing is scary
Austin Reeves is like a Jerry West 4.0, a Wolf eating dawgs. Kid is straight up special.
Doc Rivers got the Bucks in playoff mode already.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yee they will get destroyed man because of doc
@@Xeni890it’s obvious he was be sarcastic
If AD is not DPOY, the NBA needs to change its voting system. Adam Silver, I hope you’re paying attention.
The best thing Austin did that went unnoticed was he didn’t stand still. Too many players don’t anticipate the miss and track down rebounds. I hope that’s on the game tape. He’s been doing the little things lately. The steals off inbounds etc
Lakers are peaking at the right time once again. Vando comes back 🔒 everyone needs to watch out. All Lakers need to figure out is how to finish off the chicken Nuggets in the end of games. Watch out!!
Haha chicken nuggets 😂
Vando is key, but they already announced he's done for the season..
@@JarrydTIme reported by someone who isn’t even around the team😂lakers reports already said vando is coming back & gabe could return during their current road trip
Lakers fans are delusional. Get ready to get swept again by those “chicken nuggets”
I am hungry.. might get some mcnuggets lol
Lakers have the type of team with those players that could make the finals as an eight seed
Ya like the heat did
If the Lakers are the 8 seed and they play Denver they ain't going to get to the finals.
Not with OKC and Denver in the way
They can beat anyone but Denver
@@vietnam1978 Lakers would bounce OKC in 5. Denver is a different story
I’ll give props where due. Those blocks by AD made Travis Scott the second highest in the room
good one
W comment
DLO, Reaves, AD all played a full year.. missing no more than 5 games this year. Gotta give them credit on their durability. They ending the season at 6th or 7th seed.
That's terrible they been healthy all yr and still in the play in
They didn’t use the lineup at the beginning that got them to the western finals last year bad coaching at the beginning
The media switching up already 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't take them seriously, this was laughable. He literally said Lakers will lose in the second round to a bunch of east teams. He does realize that isn't how the playoffs work right?
@@Nielak-dg8nj 😭😭😭😭😭
Bucks literally stopped playing once they were up and LA kept their foot on the gas it was deserved but without Bron that team is washed sorry
@@chops34 no way you making excuses for the bucks 😂
@@derrickperry7705 It’s not an excuse it’s the truth I was at the game they got up they stopped playing as hard and thought the Lakers was just finna take they beating and they got a lot of lucky plays
AD been going crazy this year. If I'm not mistaking he's had 20pts, 15+ rebounds in their last 4 wins. Played in about 90% of games this year. This is the AD that any team would be scared to see alongside Bron in the postseason
We gotta stop being surprised when a Doc lead team bums out when it counts
Seriously. All these people talking about Bucks being contenders for the title and I'm just like, but it's Doc...
I need the same energy they had for the Celtics yesterday 🥱
They acting like dlo didnt save us in the fourth. He was on fire the start of the fourth.
Good segment. Tim Legler is one of ESPN’s best analysts
Reaves is a dawg and ad with dlo is deadly combination there all versatile
This is a prime example that Lakers have a team that can win it all if they just feel confident in themselves and get their heads out of there a**.
That's a definitive no.
Win all of what?
Absolutely!
@@V3tronsalty
He CANT GIVE UP
davis, reaves, russell although it went double O.T. posted crazy numbers in the box score. great hard fought win
That was one of the best NBA games I've seen in a while
Glad we starting to give Anthony Davis his flowers for the carry job he’s been doing at this stage of the season staying healthy and performing big at the right times.
Thanks Austin not AD
@@StarWarNerdusername checks out
@@StarWarNerdthank AD not austin. Both clutched up but without ADs blocks the game would hav ended in first overtime or regular time
Title should be: Lakers are playing their best basketball without lebron James. They beat the #1 Celtics and #2 bucks without him.
Just like a bozo they're 6-4 without him as they should they're a team dickhead
Lol
They also lost to Utah what's your point ?
Thats great! But want go nowhere in the playoffs without LeBron
To be fair the Hawks just came back against the Celtics with no Trae as well. The Lakers have won games where Lebron made a big impact in the same breath
🗣️D’Lo!
This was a total team effort by my Lakers. Gotta give a lot of love to AD, DLo, AR, Dinwiddie, Rui, the whole team and also Coach Ham for keeping the guys motivated to keep fighting back all night being down 30 on the road. Keep fighting LA 💪🏾
What a great war between two great teams 🎉
T dog just be talking im convinced 💀
Stephen A Ain’t Been On First Take Ever Since Lebron And JJ Reddick Dropped The Podcast lol 🤣🤣🤣🥴
The Lakers are the kind of squad that, with the right personnel, might finish as the eighth seed in the playoffs.
Or win a championship
Tim Legler, as usual, with the stellar analysis.
HE CANT GIVE UP.... HE GOTTA 40 OLD KING THAT NEED HIM 🎉
AD is the best player own the Lakers
Go AD❤❤❤❤
Basketball has to be the sport where people switch up the most out of any sport😂🤦💀
Lakers are struggling defensively. But Vanderbilt might come back for the playoffs. And they have guys that just tend to do whatever it takes to win
Reeves showing hsu potential to be an all star in the coming years. Davis showing his old pelican dominance man lets go
When SAS is not there, everything is better. Legs + Windy is a great combination
It’s obvious the Clippers need Russ! But the media is too stubborn and ignorant to admit it
Russ is so underappreciated and gets so much undeserved hate.
they need Russ and the whole state of California for relevance for no apparent reason
They shouldn’t need russ tho that’s the thing.. they got 3 superstars
@@isabelroxana21272 of whom are known for not stepping up in important moments.
The Bucks can blame Bobby Portis for this loss...dude was talking way too much mess to Anthony Davis....
Give AD DPOY he’s a beast
It’s almost the playoffs and the clippers coach just called them SOFT. That’s embarrassing.
Why Is Nobody Talking About How Middleton Literally The Reason They Came Back In The 4th 😂
First Take have the best Analyst. Even when Stephen A and Shannon is not on, Mad Dog and Windy still keeps the show interesting.. Fair takes on First Take! Give me my royalties if ya'lll use this😊
Gotta keep it up though
I think this is the real indictment on doc Rivers
When said Coach I was expecting Lebron to be speaking 😂
Once again, Giannis gets no blame. "He had a triple double tho!" No mention of his -13 box score and the fact this is a Lakers team withOUT Lebron. Or the fact Giannis is a liability late in games, esp when it comes to FTs. ESPN and other media and fans refuse to hold Giannis accountable
Because his free Throws always been a problem that’s nothing new. Ain’t like his free throws stopped him from winning a ring. The moment they got dame it was over with. With audition of doc. That team has no chemistry or defense
Or maybe cause Giannis had a triple double and Dame and Middleton were shooting close to 25%fg the whole game? But yeah, Giannis is to take the blame 😂🤡
I mean doc got outcoached by Darvin ham. Doc has never had problems in normal situations. The higher the stakes, the crappier coach he is. Having no coach is better than doc.
Bro please relax 😂 ya niggas really just hop on the "I hate Doc Rivers" bandwagon with no real reason behind it
This game not on doc rivers lol Khris Middleton shot terrible shots late in the game
Lakers fam let pray to the basketball gods for this. 🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿
1/Den 2/MIN 3/OKC 4/NOP
5/SAC 6/DAL 7/LAL 8/LAC
9/PHX 10/GSW.
KD beats steph and sends him home (😁, cuz a lil part of me is petty)
We beat LAC in their last game sharing crypto with us. (😁, See above)
KD beats LAC in their last home fame in crypto (😁, see above)
DEN clears out NOP/SAC/PHX and we don't face them until the finals.
We beat MIN in round 1. Idk about Kat, and that matchup has been trending towards us. 1st game: we lost by 7, 2nd: lost by 2, 3rd: we won by 11. The 4th (& Last b4 playoffs) is April 7th. I like our chances.
We beat DAL or OKC in round 2. OKC for obvious reasons. DAL is same as MIN. We lost the first 2 games vs them by 2 and 3 points in Nov & Dec. Then beat them in the 3rd & final matchup by 17 in Jan.
I think if Bron/AD can cancel out Ky/Luka, I like our others more than their others. And they are basically a bottom 3rd defensive team themselves..
I don't think they can guard us but we got the bodies (height/length) to make it tougher on their 2 stars than they can for us.
ON TO A WCF REMATCH WIT DEN BABY!!!! WE OWE THEM ONE & ITS THE RUBBER MATCH (BUBBLE/LAST YEAR)!!!!!!🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿
AD better keep the same energy when ever Labron James is playing with him
Man Lebron been asking for that for years. The only time that happened was the first year AD got there. After that first year he haven't done it
@@-_Beeyea because the offense stop running through AD you should know that
he won't. lopez is just like turner. bigs who can protect the rim but not great man defenders or rebounders. obvious go off spots.
Lebron doesn't give him the ball enough. Don't blame him because Lebron doesn't ever want to pass the torch.
@@joeblow1878Davis is a top 3 rebounder in the league casual
With the win, Lakers move from 9th place to.... 9th place.
You gonna be choke when you see the lakers end up at number 5th next week
@@albertomrd3263 lol Lakers ain't ending up as the 5th seed you smoking some good sh!t.
The 2 teams above them both had terrible losses, so this game was huge, but you don’t know ball so of course you’d leave that out.
@@albertomrd3263 They got swept last year by the Nuggets
@@m3xic4n91Are you really a nuggets fans cause I’m 29 years old y I never ear about the nuggets till lasts year 🤣
Rui is junior Dr.J
you guys are all full of it. If the Lakers lost you'd have blamed AD for going 12 for 31 from the field.
It comes with the territory. He's the star
@@moet131so is Lebron. He never gets any blame.
@@xavierforsyth7350 I agree he is but that's not true. You can't tell me that in 21 years, Lebron has never gotten any blame.
@@moet131 I meant on this Lakers team. He was judged unfairly in Miami after leaving Cleveland.
AD and DLo are the key
Potential 1st round match up Lakers vs Denver....to be the best you have to beat the best...LETS GO LAKERS!🎉
They haven't beaten the best, Bucks didn't even have their best player
@@paulmilford1187What do you get out of telling a blatant lie?
@paulmilford1187 re-read your comment and then watch the game highlights again and after that go look at the box score👍
@khanbw I thought he was still out because he had been injured . Then remember Doc Rivers is the coach, so no surprise, they lost. His teams always choke
The Lakers took it, it was not given. Never discredit.
Everybody had the buccs last night with a blowout win and they sold the bag give that laker team credit for being resilient
😂😂😂are those pundits angry,,,see dem faces😂😂😂
THE WEST IS CRAZY. 11 TEAMS OVER .500 SHEESH 😮💨. Would’ve been 12 if Memphis was healthy
It was very impressive how he turned a bad shooting night around. He still ended up shooting poorly overall, but he managed to dominate nonetheless.
Put some respect on ad name he’s been balling all season 💯🙌🏾✨ fr when he’s healthy they can beat anybody in the league said what I said
AD doing an incredible job keeping his body healthy this season.
Why mad dog making that face while windy speaks? 😂
Now the play in spot is wide open.. last week Windy swore the 6th seed was long gone 😂
Uh oh Stephen A is not gonna be happy about Mad Dog sitting in his seat! 😂
They Talk About This Game But No Mention Of Bucks OKC Game A Couple Days Ago. Typical ESPN.
D’Angelo Russell should get more recognition from the media tbh
On everything!
Austin Reaves is a beast
Put some RESPECT on lakers name and Austin Reeves Hillbilly-Mamba 😂
Bucks: Welcome to Milwaukee. What are u having?
Lakers: Doc Rivers Special, extra ice
Really dont have Shannon on here after this game? Lmfao
Everybody blames doc but a lot of this game came down to makes and misses because doc drew up a lob play to giannis that was point blank and he just missed it. Beasley had a lot of wide open threes and was just bricking same with dame. U cant blme darvin when giannis and Beasley shoot 18/32 and the other three starters combine go 21/62
Bucks' two man game needs to penetrate at least the foul line. Too many times when the two-man action is run, Dame passes too soon. Jokic and Murray usually are deeper before Murray passes or takes or pulls up.
" this is lukas best team "
" Youre high " 😂
D lo did the 2for1 sin lebron was talking about on his podcast 😂 the bucks gave this game away. That 1st quarter was the hardedt they played. I was shocked at how giannis played timed.
Lakers going all the way
Problem with AD is he dominates average centers and get dominated by great centers like Jokich and Sabonis.
He’s a power forward btw
So Giannis is average? lol
He's had good to great against the Nuggets and the Kings but the team as a unit can't overcome them. Go check the numbers and stop falling for goofy media stories. That's not to say he hasn't had a bad game before but that story is greatly overexaggerated.
In what fuckery world is Giannis average lol
He’s not a center that’s what our coach choose to play him at
Quantitate? C’mon Legs!
"next man up 😂" oh my god, she's so witty it kills me!!!!! 🤦
hate kills like stress!
If ad plays like this against the nuggets lakers area deadly
Lakers definitely show testicular fortitude in the win last night ….. 🤣👊🏾☝🏾🫡🤣
Say what ya say Lakers playing good ball
Oh yeah??? Lets see him not get injured and get past the 1st round of the actual playoffs then I'll be impressed.
Man AR lead us
We might have to go back and look, but I swear the Lakers others play better when Bron doesn't play. Bron is like an anchor for his squad right now. 😏 side Darvin Ham needs to do some voice acting.
These idiots were salivating at the Lakers losing big against the Bucks so they could crap on them for losing without Lebron. After they won, even the biggest Lebron jock sniffers have to give them credit.
If any team has a nineteen pt lead on any team keep it it's benefits the team defense helps wins chips facts
This show is at least watchable without SAS thank god
Chicken NUGGETS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was gonna bet on this game too 😢
Was hoping Shannon would show up today
Considering a pretty easy road schedule. The lakers could actually make it to the 7th or 6th seed 🤯
Doc Rivers in playoff choking form already. Meanwhile, AD has been surprisingly durable this season. Dude hasn’t been in street clothes in a long time
AD outplayed Giannis in the clutch. I think he goes an extra gear when they are matched up.
“Quantitate”???
Maybe Leggs meant quantify…
Eastern conference player of the week 😂
