That MPJ 3 off the save out of bounds was crazy af
Man, jumped out of my seat
That quote Perkins had about the Heat shooting 100% from everywhere and still losing is how I feel about the Lakers in this series 💀
Nuggets: "last time we came back from 10+ down.. do you wanna try coming back from 20 down?"
Those boys are psychopaths. Lol
Dude, Los Angeles could end the first half up 100 and I still would bet on the Nuggets
Next game nuggets finna come back down 30
Next game, Nuggets will only start playing defense in the second half.
@@pedroaugustocosta2533sounding like Perkins over here😂
Bro, I have cheered for Jamal Murray for years now - especially for hitting big shots, but it finally happened to my team tonight and my soul will forever be hurt
He closed out nearly every game against the lakers in last years conference finals as well
He was brick the whole game but hit the biggest shot, as someone who wanted the lakers to win. It was really really painful
@@el1tefire252 That shot is literally the most deflating shot bro was cheeks the whole but play great in the last 4 minutes like who is this guy
It's fun when it happens to portland though!
How do you come back to game three after that. I’d be mad as hell😭
Luka really made Dinwiddie look like a legit playoff rotation player and now he looks ready to learn Chinese..
Crazy 4 years ago they were considering if he should be an all star 😂😂😂
He was solid on the nets, turned into to dinshittie, then luka turned him back around, then he turned right back into dinshittie post luka. Weird ass career.
He tore his acl @@donaldhutchison4652
AD saying he's the best defensive player then getting a playoff game winner put on his head is crazy timing
Edit: I ain't sayin AD isn't a good defender, he's one of the best. I'm just pointing out the timing on that
Yes because apparently when a great player hits an incredibly difficult shot over you, it means you’re a bad defender since great defenders apparently never have players score on them👍🏿
@@tdl8472wah wah wah
@@tdl8472 right?? Lol
@tdl8472 he didn't say he was a bad defender, he just said it was crazily coincidental timing
@@tdl8472 it's the aesthetics especially for casual fans. Real ones know how great of a defender AD is but he'll still get clowned by idiots for not shutting down murray just like lillard hitting that 3 on PG's head
Jamal has made 3 out of every 8 shots for the series (18/48) and the nuggets still haven’t lost shits wild
For a playoffs where the favored team has won every single game thus far, it's been pretty fun to watch.
This is what playoff basketball is about, both of these games were insane to watch and hopefully will be remembered going forward if these series pan out the right way
Suprised you didn't mention AD more, he was 14 from 15 at one point, that lead that they had came off of his back
14/15 in the first half with 32 pts, Ad ended the game with 32 pts 14/19 man did nothing second half
@@TheMerrittbadge Yea cuz he ain’t really get the ball much to be fair in the 4th quarter the nuggets was just too playing great D on the bron Ad pick and Roll
@@TheMerrittbadgedame had practically the same thing and people say he had a good game.
AD had a phenomenal game
No one on the lakers is allowed to be praised except for bron shooting 42%
If jokic keeps these statlines up... good lord.
Potential pantheon great!
That was an average game for him
"Dino Radja and Vlade Divac better btw"
he has for the last 4 years
@@TheUltimateRagehe already is.
I just want to point out that Embiid has been doing his best to play well through his knee injury, and is still getting criticized while Jalen Brunson has been terrible in the first 2 games, and is escaping criticism. I know the reasons why, but that doesn't make it fair.
Fair or not, that’s the reality of the situation. I believe Embiids criticism is a bit overblown because the 76ers should have just shut Embiid down since the beginning and just let him recover. Not even hate against Embiid, just genuine concern for this guy. If anything, 76ers as a franchise deserve way more criticism than anyone for allowing this.
There would be more criticism if his team dropped either game. Embiid is held to a really high standard and his injury makes that hard to meet. Hopefully they can tie it up in philly
Brunson didn't steal mvps from anyone.
Because basketball “fans” only see “win” and “lose” and let their brains escape every bit of context imaginable unless it pertains to a favourite player. Welcome to basketball fandom 🤷🏾♂️
Lol, Embiid is the MVP and has higher standards. Brunson is a small guard.
Plus, I think the 76ers have the gameplan to shut down Brunson and let the rest of the team beat them, and the rest of the team has beat them...twice.
Jason Kidd and Barkley best 6’4” rebounders I could think of.
Charles was like 6'6-6'7
@@GdfsandozCertainly not 6’7 more like 6’5-6’6
@@jtizzle124no. Charles is 6ft 4. Look at him next to dwade. Same height.
@@Gdfsandozno he is 6'4
@@jtizzle124 he is absolutely 6'4
Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, Mikal Bridges, Saddiq Bey, Cam Whitmore, Kyle Lowry, and Jalen Brunson (Villanova Wildcats) would fit in Denvers system. All of their playstyles would work in that system around Jokic and Murray.
I would LOVE to bring Saddiq Bey in on a MLE as a 6th man if the Hawks don’t retain him. I’m not even sure we’ll have the cap to use an MLE this offseason, but if we can manage it I’d love to see him, Braun, Watson, and maybe Jackson (if he stays) in our rotation.
@beanie3427 Man, he'd help elevate them to new heights because he'd fit right in and he's a capable starter but just imagine sitting Porter, Pope, or Gordon down and replacing one of them with Bey. They wouldn't miss a beat.
Jamal Curry got a strap
76ers and Lakers both collapsed in very similar ways that make me think they are both going to get swept. If I’m the Lakers how the fuck is a team beating me 10 times in a row in the span of less than a year
I think it comes down to late-game execution of offense by the Nuggets. The Lakers' offense often gets stagnant while the Nuggets are always running actions and plays to get the best shot possible. Not to mention that they have a bit more offensive skill (Jokić, Murray), better 3pt shooters (Murray, KCP, MPJ), and better on-ball creation at the guard and center spots (Murray, Jokić). Defensively, the Nuggets have more capable defenders and more size, but that hasn't been the difference.
The 10 games date back to 2021/2022 I believe. They didn’t face each other 10 times this season
@@urbaindelva7869luck*
Sixers almost certainly won’t get swept unless embiids body completely collapses. They’re playing fantastic defense on Brunson which is usually the most important part of playoffs defense, they’re getting killed by the depth. Having two starting caliber centers share minutes is such a big rebounding advantage when Embiid on a bum knees needs to play 40 or else the sixers lose
@@allin4508you damn near explained every reason why the Sixers are about to lose Game 3 and 4 and be done with. Brunson has been awful the first two games, while Maxey has been good both games and picked up the Embiid slack. But it just didn’t matter because the Knicks have some of the best depth in the league and the 76ers have really none at all. And Embiid also hasn’t looked very good this series with his knees all banged up. You say that the Sixers won’t get swept unless his body gives out when that is very well on the verge of happening.
AD had a crazy game too, you didn't mention that enough... 32pts on 14/19 + 11 rebounds. He scored at will and had a great defensive game... For 3 quarters, defensively Denver put him in foul trouble after and offensively lebron took over (but maybe a bit to much, he only had only 1 fga)
Having AD, Russell AND Lebron have crazy games and still loosing that. I`t must suck for LA. But, they can say that it was VERY competitive at Denver.
Love that you put this video out at this hour! Night owls up 1000
This felt like a so so game for jokic… and then you look at the box score and it’s a historic performance.
Justin Holiday actually made some decent hustle plays along with Pwat and CB. Reggie though, yikes
Reggie as usual. He just doesnt work well with the system. CB. Kid really is really good. Just need to work his 3pts shot.
Reggie is ass cheeks. Dude is garbage. PWat and CB playing excellent and Justin Holiday on those small minutes he always impact the game on a positive way with hustle play, making open shots and playing solid defense.
It's clear that Reggie was signed because he was born in Colorado.
FRAUD WATCH?!?!?!? It’s been two games!!!! Slow start but he’s not a fraud
That’s why it’s a watch!
exactly. he’s been carrying the team all year and he’s getting hacked and now he’s on fraud watch💀
As someone who enjoys the nva but doesn’t make time to view full games I appreciate the full breakdowns with some onsite and history thrown in!
Lakers Defense today was really great. But their offense is still messy. They just got lucky today that those difficult shots are hitting in the 1st half. But unlucky in the 4th, difficult shots arent hitting anymore.
They need different plays for offense. AD and Lebron pick & roll is their only reliable play and Denver checks it in the 4th.
Denver checked it in the 3rd quarter because Michael Malone switched Jokic unto Rui and the Lakers stopped involving AD. Everything got slow after that until in the 4th again when they started running the double screens
I was bartending when these happened and thank god I caught them! My Dad who is very old and a C’s fan texted me like crazy about how he stayed up and enjoyed these games immensely!
Great vid as always!
5:15 charles barkley is definitely one of them
dat Jamal Curry combo tho got me good 🤣
na “jamal curry” had me dying bro😂😂😂
I love that MPJ has cultivated such a reputation for not passing the ball that it is a surprise when he makes a pass in transition to the paint 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, you have the best sense of hunor out of all the basketball youtubers
As a Knicks fan I was not expected them to make a comeback.
Personally, I knew it was over for LA when about halfway through the 4th, possibly sub 5 min, they let Murray just walk up the floor into an easy layup, and no one ever checked him. LA’s margin of error simply doesn’t allow for that if they want to win a game against the Nuggets, let alone a series.
Great playoff content, I think the notes really up your analysis and accuracy.
I was at the Nuggets game, easily the best game I’ve ever attended. Never seen a walk off buzzer beater but holy moly that game was fantastic
I was in a call with my friends on the lakers game and when dinfuck missed the open layup i just said to them "yep, we lost the fucking game because of that bum"
"I'll go do that real quick." Best take of the 'cast.
The Lakers game was the most absolutely painful game I've ever watched
I like the notes keep it up
so half OF THE ENTIRE PLAYOFF HISTORY OF THE NBA of 25,20,10 games were had by this one man.... by the middle of his career
jokic is insane and anyone who has the audacity to say he is not far and a way, clearly, and solely the best current player either doesn't understand basketball or can't overcome their fandom for another player with basic, rational thought
He is not far and away the best player.
@@420_blaise_it6 so far and a way that the next guy has to view him with a telescope.... and i don't think luka is all that good handling a telescope.... not like dwight howard anyway
@@notimportant3686 luka is also not the 2nd best player in the league. Giannis is. Jokic is very very slightly better. Giannis is a better scorer/defender. Jokic is a better playmaker/passer. Their rebounding is basically the same it’s just that since jokic is a center, he get a few more per game. I don’t know when people stopped caring about defense but it’s a very big part of the game.
@@420_blaise_it6exactly Giannis just doesn’t go as much for dreb like he used to. If he did he would be averaging like 13 rebounds a game. Especially since giannis is having his best oreb season by far
@@420_blaise_it6giannis is not better scorer, jokic avarages more ppg in playoffs, can shoot 3s, midrange, floaters, free throws unlike giannis, all while being pass first player
It’s so painful to lebron just dominate and still come up short so much in his career🥲 We’re really gonna miss him when he’s gone man
Man, on that Knicksvs Philly game as soon as I saw they were struggling to inbound the ball at the end I was like "Time out time out" and I'm really really surprised Nick Nurse didn't call it to draw a play and secure the lead. But well, nobody could've predicted that outcome and it end up costing the game. It sucks but it happens, it's basketball~
And I happened to be watching both of them on and off and watched the ends
That mpj pass got me the most shocked out of any
Justin Holiday also had 2 huge steals too! He was good on defense the minutes he played
love to see the kelly oubre appreciation. it blew my mind in the off season how the sixers got him for a minimum contract
great ob rusty taking notes
I watched the entire game n the nuggets was calm throughout the whole game they was not worried they kept missing open shots n was like eh we'll get it next time
I’ll admit to being more of a casual than I have been in years past, but man. I feel like I can NEVER catch an AMAZING Embiid performance. It’s always a bad/luke warm or ok game. It’s absolutely crazy
The Knicks have a really similar aura to the 21’ Hawks like they could get make it deep in the playoffs unexpectedly
Lmfao it's really funny that you had the exact same conversation about Bogdonavic with your gf that I had with mine. My gf said the exact same thing watching game 1 with me.
Guard-wings who are better at rebounding than Hart: Westbrook
and that's it, I feel. If we're being extremely nitpicky about height on this just to increase the field we can include Zion and Barkley but those are bigmen. Hart is insane.
I’m hooked on these two series. Unfortunately both series might be over in four. I think it’s the overall habits that are prevailing rather than any single player’s excellence or bad play.
Brunson out there looking like Emmanuel Mudiay
Jamal is him
I stg Malone tells him to sandbag all regular season
@@Caboose2563nah he’s just saving it for the post season
Playoff Murray
@@thegreatone5984thats literally the exact definition of sandbagging dawg 💀
Shout out to Jamal Curry, man
I think Brunson is struggling so much because there isn’t a clear 2nd option for NY. Having Randle would help space the floor even if he isn’t playing good as he’s still a threat.
Just as Jamal Murray struggled heavily last night, but still had to be guarded nonstop as he’s always a threat. Without Randle there to help as well as his presence, it lets the defense comfortably double team him the entire time soon as he crosses half court.
As well as this just shows how much growth Brunson still has to go before he truly becomes one of the best players in the league *Top 5
Brunson should have done a taper for the playoff. It's disadvantage if He's playing nearly 100% in the regular season.
rusty discovered the term “stocks” and now he’s never going to let us forget it
What are you talking about? Is he not supposed to use the terms of the game? Wait till you realize how many times he said “layup” 😂
@@blankface1904 bruh i’m just joking around 🙄
Lebron and the Lakers complaining about refs after being up 20 is hilarious
if randle is playing i genuinely feel like we win these games by 20 solely bc him being there means philly cant send the entire team at brunson every possession and get away with it.
On the contrary, he would brick shots like he does in every post season, his absence has been a blessing because Hartenstien wouldn't get those same minutes and be super impactful had Randell been playing...
Were you watching the Knicks over the past couple years? I’d rather have Jalen Brunson take shots than Randle any day.
You should start focusing on boston, i really hope you take down those mapets
no... rangle being injured is why i picked the knicks... he would literally fuck it up for them
@@sheyarjames4904 Hartenstein would not get less minutes because of Randle. Only him or Robinson can guard Embiid. And I'd rather have Randle bricking shots but pulling attention because it makes Brunson's life easier.
Josh hart would die for a rebound.
Anthony Davis was easily the best player on the floor for about 35 of his 39 minutes. Insane efficiency and defense, yet you barely mentioned him.
It makes sense though, with the game on the line Jokic dominated him in the post and AD disappeared on offense. I'd rather talk about the guy who can turn it on in the clutch.
Jamal Curry is the best Clutch player period! 😎
Yeah, other than maybe his own teammate Jokic lol. That two man game is the most unstoppable clutch play of all time.
Bro, you failed to mention lakers was up 20!!!! And crumbled. Call it what it is. Lakers gave their best shot and still lost
He's a raging lebum fangirl. Not suprised
Jamal Curry 😂 watch him drop 10 3s next game
As a Lakers fan I actually thought we might have this one but nope, Lakers disappoint again 😐😐😐
The only guard rebounder better I can think of is probably Westbrook.
Am I the only one who noticed Rusty mentioned he has a girlfriend?
Ye he announced on Twitter he got a gf not too long ago
No mention of Hartenstein monster clutch block after the melee 💔
Hot take: I truly believe that the detroit pistons could take any playoff team right now (except the celtics and nuggets) to at least 6 games. to give a little bit of context i am a sixers fan. Lost 20 games by less than 10 points, that’s literally one 4th quarter run.
Rusty living the dream - watching playoff basketball with his girlfriend. Blessed man
Just so everyone knows, jamal went 6/8 with 14 points in the 4th
Bruh the Sixers are channeling all of their energy at JB because there’s no Julius. Idk how you somehow manage to slander Julius when the guy is banged up at home. Sheesh
And that is why I'm not buying Embiid stock
New York was in fact not winning most of the game
really just the end of the third and most of the 4th, they were trailing the rest of the game
Nobody gonna talk about the refs completely ignoring Nick Nurse calling a timeout TWICE?
Embiid had a 49% TS 🤢🤢
Shoutout to MPJ for having a great first two games w all that shit going on w his family
this is really showing how the lakers should’ve tried to vs the thunder, weakest spot on the thunder is paint/boards and that’s what AD can dominate (as an OKC fan i’m glad they didnt)
Dinwiddie was a key factor in the Mavs WCF run. Crazy how much he’s fallen off. Maybe he would’ve been better off signing with the Mavs. Oh well
Nuggets just have the Lakers number, zip code, and PO Box
Also address, social security number, drivers license #, atm pin code, credit card numbers.
AD was the best on the Lakers. I got so frustrated when he kept making his shots even when he was smothered.
Damn was hoping to hear u talk about the mpj foul on DLo and then brons presser, actin like they didn’t give up a 20 point lead to drop 10 straight to the nuggets
Through 2 games only 2 lakers bench players have scored points.
How you say he's on fraud watch ? The way they're defending him and throwing everyone at him. He's always made difficult shots , they're just not falling. He still had 8rebs and 6 assists, I do agree that the defense side looked bad with him in there
Dantley.
Based on game one of Thunder Pelicans i am almost certain the Lakers would have made it out of the second round if they had thrown the first playin game
Also divincenzo's 3 did not tie the game They took the lead 101 102 to be exact The score was 96 101 before the scramble
Yes, I 💩 three pairs of pants 👖 watching the beasts play put ball in basket 🧺 👏.
Maaaan competitive or not I waaay rather have hartenstein over vooch. At least he plays like he wants to be out there 100% of the time
Maybe Vooch would play the same way in a different situation.
Idk why bron went for a 3 instead of driving to the basket. Reminds me of jimmy doing the same a year or 2 ago
Considering the shot that Jamal Murray made, going for a 3 was the better option. Just not the way he did it.
LEBUM COMING UP SHORT AGAIN SURPRISE SURPRISE
Jamal Murray was called Jamal Crawford by the announcers
No... Jamal Crawford was literally announcing the game. When they said Jamal Crawford they were talking about Jamal Crawford...
@@jaceygaither2581 oh lmfao mb
Too much data to process in the thumbnail.. I hope Also Rusty Buckets knows that
Hart playing the whole game is hilarious
It just shows you the Knicks ceiling isn’t very high
Hes producing and somehow that’s an issue lol
@@MrTreyshawn22Apparently it’s “not sustainable” for one of our other starters to step up for Ju. Tf else are we supposed to do?
These games are bad for my health man 😩
Rusty look kinda high in this
cant give bron the he’s the only reason ur in the game excuse when he’s the reason they didn’t blow out the nuggets if he would’ve showed up in the first 3 quarters he wouldnt need to “wake up” in the 4th just to sell the easiest n most important shot
Vanderbilt is hurt bruh
AD was Better than Bron in this One Rusty you trippin
AD was the best player for the Lakers .
