Have to remember to come back here and troll bandwagoon Lakers fans for being disrespecful and dumb. Lakers in 6? AD stopping Jokic? Megalol.
Keep Sleeping on the Nuggets …. Wake up time coming.
AD is a beast, Jokic just happens to be the beast master. If AD goes out this series, because he is not the most durable, then nuggets will win easily. If he holds up, nuggets will still win.
Keyshawn just a hater…
Will AD play as roamer and other player will be on Joker? That is the question ❓
But Nuggets in 6 I believe it will be.
“Except play defense” so steals,intercepting the passing lane, deflection doesnt count as Defense.
The disrespect towards the Nuggets is unreal. And I'm a Lakers fan living in Denver. smdh
Keyshawn hasn’t watched us ONCE all year. the whole world sleeps on denver and this type of bs feed into that. so disrespectful
Jokic can back Brooke Lopez under the basket with ease so I not so sure AD will be able to keep him from backing down.
This will be the Most important playoff series of Anthony Davis' career! He's gonna have to summon every ounce of basketball discipline he's ever learned. Play as physical as he has ever played…NO DAYS OFF!!
Keyshawn is exactly right about the warriors. They had no Bogut no one to at least pretend to contend inside. (Bogut wasn't bogus, tbf)
😮 then Jokic dominance is Magic 🪄… I recall correctly and then I deliver Joker has been the 3 head beast the nuggets have a solid chance because high IQ, good passing and good job in and out the paint… BUT somehow this panel tells me we are back in the 80s NBA is just a big guy game 😅 Sheesh 🙄
Nugs didn't have jamal Murray in the bubble. Last i checked, he's pretty good at basketball. This is going to be a good series! Go nugs!
It’s a battle between AD vs Joker whoever plays consistently better wins the series. I go with joker the 2 times MVP has proven consistently performance
I think the GSW should blow it all up and try to get another top 7 player in the league…. *cough cough…Embiid. Maybe offer Klay, Poole, Looney and some picks if they got em, then sign some guards in the offseason. They should be willing to let go of anyone not named Curry in order to pair him with Embiid. Wiggins, Draymond, and Embiid would be mean defensively. New Era, new identity.
The Lakers really might just do it this year
I don't why there so many butthurt fans are offended if you didn't put the Nuggets as the clear, landslide favourite. Let's be real, even as Lakers fans, I think Nuggets has the edge here, but I'm also not gonna pretend that Lakers don't have a shot. Lakers might as well be the only team in the playoffs left that can get really close to stop the Nuggets. Respect your opponents, cuz this what Jokic/Lebron and his gang will do
Key is so clueless as always
Nuggets fans say they were being slept on and Lakers fans say the same thing. Only difference is, Nuggets fans are upset that they weren't crowned enough, while Lakers fans are upset nobody takes them serious enough.
What about performance enhancers LeBron is on? Will that help with the altitude?
Referees could easily became the main characters and everybody want to see LAL in The Finals
Balkan !!!!
Wait, why do i keep hearing about AD in foul trouble against Denver? Do people forget the Lakers are good at drawing fouls too.
Lakers in 6
There has been a lot of talk about AD and Jokic, but it's important not to overlook LeBron's impressive performance in Game 6. He dominated in the paint, scoring 30 points with a 10/14 shooting percentage. LeBron knows when to conserve his energy for important games, and it seems he has been doing just that.
Perkins is down.. Keyshawn is next out of Jokic haters.
Devis is good ,but not od the same level like Nikola
Kcp is not a factor and if Denver listen to him lol , we have a whole new system in play, The Lakers are winning this Series
I swear to god…if we get another Lakers Vs Heat or Lakers Vs Celtics…I’m turning my TV off. Need some new blood in the Finals.
Y'all literally asking Davis to carry Lebron to later give him all the credits
The way they talk about Jokic not playing defense, discredits everything they are saying. His presence in the paint is enough to make for tougher shotsxdouble teams
When will y'all learn not to count out the Lakers if the memphis series and the GS series don't tell you anything we will expose them they are only a offensive team and the Lakers are both.
The disrespect to the Nuggets is ridiculous
Keyshawn doesn’t watch Nuggets clearly if he thinks Jokic doesn’t play defense this false agenda setting has to stop
Key doesn’t even know more than three Nuggets’ players’ names! How is he qualified to speak on this match up. And fine AD is 6’10”, 255lbs but Jokic is 6’11” and 280lbs? Brain dead.
Yes Key Jokic WILL abuse AD in the block this dude is such a hater.
Altitude. Home court advantage. Four starters been playing together for three years (three of them together for six years). Most of all … Joker. May the best team win. Nuggets, if you want respect, now's the time to prove you deserve it. Eight more wins. It's that simple and it's that difficult.
AD will wear Jokic out. Bron will cook and most importantly the Lakers defense will frustrate the Nuggets. Lakers in 5 or 6
what nuggets player can guard davis???
Lets go Denver we want the chip
Jay said KCP know what the lakers want to do defensively and offensively. Can someone tell him it’s a different team and different coach.🤦🏾♂️
Listening to key talk about jokic is hard.
I'm far from a LeBron fan & I think Denver a better team but it's LeBron the NBA gonna make sure they get that ring unfortunately or at least lose closely in the finals
But I can relate I'm 6'5 barely SG but people act like ima Center
I hope Nuggets will win just to shut t.f of these clowns ESPN analyst 😂
Jokic is too strong for AD
These analysts just keep moving the bar on the Nuggets 😂
Denver castrated the "12-1 with KD" Suns, but all of a sudden the Lakers are the best performing team in the Western conf. playoffs?! Y'all are trippin
Here we go again – Keyshawn so ignorant. Denver in 5. Lakers played a weak GS team and a REALLY weak Memphis team. Denver beat a Phoenix team that just about everybody was picking for Finals. Keep ignoring Denver and learn the hard way!
Asking keyshawn anything about basketball is a fruitless endeavor.
Keyshawn trying to get that Lakers contract!
