For some reason this game reminds me of Giants vs Patriots in 08 when Giants lost that last game of the season to the Patriots but felt good about the lost knowing they could beat them …this is the same damn thing LAKERS IN 6
They didn't find anything the ref's just sent the Lakers to the line over and over for nothing calls.
JJ apply for the Phoenix Suns job🙏🏾
I'm not sure how much we can learn when a team is up as much as Denver was. They weren't playing with same intensity up 20 as the Lakers were trying to get back into game.
I'm not sure James can guard Porter. And if Gordan goes to 3 pt line he will get open 3's.
I guess I'd rather have Gordan shooting open 3's than Joker shooting from paint, even if he's doubled. I say that and now watch Gordan hit 10 3's next game.
Dude has to be a coach in the league
The problem is Lebron’s late contested three. There’s a lot of time to make plays, he could’ve look for Reaves or took it to the basket
Lakers in 5.
Lakers really missed a chance at stealing this game. Would have shifted everything for this series
Who is this JJ fooling? A lot of us have played some form of sports. Why do we make such a big deal out of comebacks? At the end of the day, when you are up, and up big, you take your foot off the gas pedal and it is sometimes hard to get back that momentum. Let's revisit this discussion if we get to game 5.
Denver gets exposed when Jocik isn’t involved I wonder if Denver is a deep enough team over 7 games
Way to focus on the Lakers one good quarter instead of the Nuggets 3 dominant quarters…
If Denver wins they will destroy the Celtics and Heat . Which ever comes out of the East is losing.
Denver should try to get AD switched onto Jokic as weird as that sounds. Make AD a less useful rebounder and interior defender
If Mike Malone doesn't adjust properly and the Lakers win the series he's likely getting fired. Denver should win this series easily but I'm questioning their defense
its gonna be a fun series I think im starting to see the vision that Darvin Ham has for the team and I am all for it
Hachimura should guard Jokic 94 get
Jokic is in his prime and he’s going to get his stats every game, if the Lakers can guard the others it’ll be Lakers in 6 games.
Lakers never had a chance.. Nuggets dominated start to finish. They scored a measly 24 pts in the 4th. Nuggets was just resting. It takes a lot out of a player to come back from 20 pts, get it within 3, and lose by 6. Yall don't think that's going to carry over. Don't let them be down by 15 in game 2. Lakers better keep it tight
We need to match their size so I think the starting lineup for Lakers game 2 should be:
Reaves – PG
Hachimura – SG
Lebron – SF
Vanderbilt – PF
AD – C
The Nugs took game one but they shot insane last night and Jokic was lights out. The Lakers made adjustments, have a lot of talent, and Lebron is still Lebron. Game 2 will be interesting to see how each team adjusts. The Sixers, Suns, and Wolves all ran this same defensive set against them so they should have some ideas on how to respond to this. Let's go Nugs!
The Lakers will Bounce back
I figured something out yesterday too. BENCH DLO. simple as that
I even forgot who was the Head Coach and I don't mean any disrespect. I think it shows Darvin Ham isn't doing anything wrong. In a market like LA. Thats when you get attention on you. When your star player is LeBron James. Thats when they come to you as HC.
It's a 5 game series… the thing that lakers had an advantage in the previous 2 series was size and a Lil bit more depth off the bench… they don't have that vs Denver… the nuggets won and porter Jr, Aaron Gordon didn't do much… jokic is unstoppable whether it's scoring or passing… it's over in 5…AD was great and the Lakers still lost… imagine if he has an off game😬😬
Everyone is bending over backwards. Trying to find a way to give the Lakers some kind of moral victory.
Been said at the beginning that we need size just like the bubble when D Howard and McGee
All nuggets need is them role players to go off besides of murray and jokic . Lakers lucky Denver don’t have a team with two players like jokic ggs
It's easy to say JJ
JJ Reddick has turned into one of the best NBA analyst in the game!! Love his content and perspective
What did they find? Their tickets to cancun 😂 get outa here
AG can also make 3s. So it's right to have him in the corner instead of the dunker spot.
Nuggets gonna sweep
What does DHO mean?
Stop talking about the 2nd half because Lakers still loss the game. Move on now, watch game 2. It’s now getting boring , 2nd half! Nuggets win, respect the them!!!!
I don't disagree that they made a great adjustment second half, and it's potentially worrisome for Denver going forward.
But AD isn't dropping 40 points a game all series. If you look at the Lakers's success, they win every time AD has a monster game. AD had a monster game and they STILL couldn't win. That's a bad sign for LA.
Fortunately for LA, the nba isn't going to let their poster boy and Lakers team lose a series to Denver. Expect LA to have a 20+ FT disparity in game 2. NBA gotta have their biggest names in the finals. Denver isnt bringing the money that LA does
I love when an NBA expert actually talked about the NBA's Game. It's hard listening to Shannon, skip, Colin coward, and Chris Broussard, discusses for that they Have Not actively played.
JJ I don't know if you'll see this but what do you think about just letting Joker get his and making sure you keep everyone else in check and try to limit Murray to no more than a hard 25 and then I think they can when
LAKERS FOUND THAT THEY WILL BE PLAYING FROM BEHIND FROM 1ST QTR TO THE 4TH THIS WHOLE SERIES 🤡🤡🤡🤡
