They figured out the Nuggets but forgot to figure out LeBron
I already see it nuggets are playing smart letting LeBron do him because that's all they got lol Go Nuggets
The lakers and they fans yeah we figure something out after game 1. Yeah ok you thought you did now didn't you.
Lebron screwed his team once again . Rigged and Scripted Garbage . He knows the Script . hahaha Freemsaon Sellout .
Murray is the key in this series.
Also, size counts in this series. Nuggets got the dixes and theybare all good with good defense.
Prepare to see more free throws in the next game. Next level flopping is coming. 😂😂
Lebron about to get another coach fired
LeFlop gonna be watching finals from the couch… nice!
Now y’all know what Minnesota was up against a lot of You folks need to wake up, this Denver team is loaded. Also the chemistry Jamal and Joker have is some Shaq and Kobe type energy these two been through some shit it’s there time. They really remind me of a classic Spurs Joker got that Tim Duncan finesse.
Lebron james playing hero ball again
I think Murray may be the best PG to shoot the ball off screen's. Wild to say, because of Steph.. Yet he's quicker, twitchy and fast release that looks unbothered.
Last play was full BS for those free throws. The guy ran straight into him and knocks the defender down and gets the fowl. Refs getting paid good money
Lakers fan here…if the Lakers can’t win the championship this year, I hope the Heat or Nuggets win. The Celtics cannot win. That’s all I’m sayin.
Naagawan pa ng bola ang the GOAT sa 4th qrt. Dying sec. na yun…sya tlaga ang GOAT…
Lakers its okay thers more game
Bron been beat before, but will this be the first series he's out thought?
Batman and The Joker
As a heat fan i enjoy watching lebum lose id Glady trade are two chips we got with him for one chip with zo and hardway
Lakers are doomed. Time for James to retired.
Take that radical city down…..well done Denver!
Murray really be turning into 4th quarter Kyrie 😂🔥
Murray been "HIM"
Manila smells like Lebron's sweaty ballz
This game was so unfair, for Denver Nuggets was playing against 8 Lakers players (including the 3 referees).
I mean did anyone really think the Lakers would beat the Nuggets? I hope Denver can get their first NBA title
May pa hari hari pa kasi eh. Ganyan na naman ang namgyari sa laban nila ng playoffs ng Phoenix Suns, nanalo lang sa game 1, nagyabang na ayun natalo tuloy.
Yall really thinking Vanderbilt or Rui doing shit for yous 🤣🤣
Lepluck
Dlo needs to wake the fuck up, and Vando needs to play when murray is on the floor, murray could barely breathe when he was guarding him.
Been saying Lakers are out in 5, no team in the west as constructed was beating this Nuggets team for 4 games, plus the league put the battery in Jokic back by snubbing him that MVP, he’s on a mission to prove a point and nothing worst that a man that is playing with something to prove.
I truly dont think Bruce Brown gets the credit he deserved in Brooklyn and Denver knew that.
Excellent role player that can impact the game in multiple different ways.
Go lakers you beat this team before on finals beat them again go lakers.
Lebron looked winded 💨
Lakers fans today:
Well the Lakers have 17 championships the nuggets have 0
You gotta realize this lakers team isn't even supposed to be here
If Lebron would have shot better the lakers would have blown them out
Ask the Kings how their 2-0 lead went
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
