Just a heads up, we're going LIVE on YouTube after tomorrow night's Lakers vs. Nuggets game. Subscribe if you haven't and we'll see you then.
Jokic got robbed. Embiid a fraud!!!
My humble opinion is that whchever team wins the 4/7 games first will win the series
lakers have a 1st year coach and you expect him to figure out the joker? nugs in 4
This isnt 2020.
Nuggets in 5. They're just better, no way around it. AD is a great defender…I just don't see him slowing Jokic down. He's giving 30-35 pounds up and Jokic is just gonna bully him in the paint or get him in foul trouble.
Lakers should win in 6
Jj you also picked the warriors to win.
JJ had to remind us of the buzzer beater…
Don’t bring the same narrative that other analysts are saying, JJ. AD has never fouled out as a laker and he’s never started a 4th quarter with >4 fouls. This is a non-concern for AD
mam i cant wait for this jokic ad matchup. ohh baby
If AD can show The Joker how the Chi gets down the Lakers will win but if he taps out like DA then the he really is LA now 😂 it's gonna be a good one
AD gotta become KG honestly if KG doesn't move to the Chi I don't think he becomes the HOF he is
Nuggets can’t win. 3 out of 5 players will be locked down by the Lakers. Way to good defensively. Jokic will be Great but the others not so much
do you throw some Tristian Thompson in there? do you use bamba as well ?
It’s gonna be tough for AD to play defense on Jokic, then have to get his on offense, same for Jokic on AD but AG can play mins on AD and have Jokic guard the less aggressive player, but LeBron being the smart guy, will not allow Jokic to take a break on the defense
JJ, you're an advocate for player empowerment; why don't you share your take on the Ja situation and how all this empowerment and the soft NBA commissioner are putting him on a course to be a bust in the league that is kicked out.
Besides #1 record since all star, # 1 Def and 7 role players that can give you 20 any night we are still questioning…..all this yapping about who’s gonna stop Jokic ….who is gonna stop AD or Bron like wtf 🤔🤔🤔
Nuggets have not played this lakers team .. lakers win
If lebrons has a boo boo then who cares. Always making excuses for him.
Brons hurt?
Nuggets are clearly the better team, but Adam Silver has other plans
And I feel the lakers have a toughness to them and play as a team now
Lakers in 6.
Denver in 6 or 5 tops.
Only talking about Lakers smh, it doesn't matter 'cause Joker will beat your boys guys… Denver in 6
People keep asking if AD will be able to guard jokic…well maybe but what I know for sure is that Jokic cant guard AD. He will average 30+ and the lakers guards will get easy buckets in the paint all games.
AD vs Jokic….LOL….AD is about to get completely demolished.
Nuggets are just bigger and they're just a tad better. My brain says Nuggets in 6, my heart says Lakers in 7.
People forget how often AD had Mike Malone scrambling for solutions in 2020. Literally said “we have to find a way to stop him. It’s too easy.” Denver is better than last time but same goes for LA. Gonna be a fun series.
I think the key is to attack jokic defensively. Bring him into pick and roll actions. AD needs to making his midrange and lakers have to play fast in transition.
