winning 1 game won't matter just giveup the series lechoke 👍
Ha Ha
nba was so hyped for lolobron & lakers then nuggets silently beat them 6 ft below the ground😅3-0 lez goo denver🏀🔥💪
As a warriors fan I wanna see the nuggets go to the finals. That team is overdue for a ring.
play the game from the heart or walk away
YESSSSIRRRRRR Clark finna be pissed 😂😂😂😂😂
Ahhh the end of Lebron
King flop is disappointed 😂
Man dat was bubble Jamal
Denver is a monster
once the Lakers lose. expect the "goat" to blame teammates, fire the HC and tell the front office to get him more all stars to play wirh.
As a Heat Fan, if Miami make the finals along with Denver I will genuinely be scared
The pundits in basketball need to reflect on themselves. Nuggets purely dominate the court.
get the broom ready 🧹
Get the brooms out. The Lakers are about to be swept!
Butler vs. Murray should be a crazy match up
Is Lakers due for tune-up or overhaul?
Just looks like The Nuggets want it more AD just gets lost out there it seems and Lebron keeps chucking them 3’s he shouldn’t even be shooting the Nuggets are just being more aggressive and taking way better shots this series is definitely over makes u wonder how the Lakers even beat the Warriors
Iyak
So disappointing Le Flop shud sit out the last game protect him from further insult
🎵Give me the three-ball, for ree my soul, I want to get lost in that big orange ball and swish away. 😥🎵
Just a we watch for lbj before he ritired.. when lebron not playing anymore we must need to watch❤
Get your brooms out bout to be a swemp lebron is trash 🗑 not even a top 10 player all time
I love how D Lo hits the 3 at the beginning of the game and the announcers all like thats a great sign
lmao he didnt score again the rest of the game
Matchstick Murray
I love watching lebron….. Lose and be a big bitch
🎵Give me the three-ball, for ree my soul, I want to get lost in that big orange ball and swish away. 😥🎵
Nuggets can clearly turn it up whenever they want to…
wheres your white boy reeve?
I wonder what Kendrick “racist” Perkins gonna say now. These nuggets are legit. I think they are the team to beat for sure. Jokic and Murray have been unstoppable
Nuggets really is the team to beat and the most dangerous for this season.
Their core 5 = Jokic, Jamal, Aaron, Porter Jr and Jeff have been there since 2021
Added good fits in KCP and Bruce.
Their chemistry is very solid centering on the Joker's skill sets and vision. deeper bench. role players that can actually make shots.
I do think Nuggets can win it all this year.
Meanwhile, the Lakers literally have a brand new team after the trade deadline.
The core is only the 2 stars. AD is up and down. Lebron is getting fatigued.
Chemistry is on and off. Unpredictable players haunt them like DLo, Dennis, Lonnie and Beasley. Cant trust them completely.
Jarred and Rui are a mixed bag depending on matchups. The only shining light is Austin "Jerry West 2.0" Reaves.
Gotta hand it to the front office and the team to start at the 13th seed and somehow made it to the WCF. Still a good run.
They need to keep and develop Austin, Lonnie and Rui.
They still have Max and Jarred on the books for next year. The others are gone.
wheres your king lebron?
lol lakers fans you make me luaght while having shet!
The annoying thing about the modern game is that it’s just a three point shooting contest.
If you’re not making your threes, you’re not going to win.
3:20 This is what sacrifice looks like!! 😮 You talking about sad… What good is it to gain the world but _________ ________?? Father forgive them
Oh man, that's too bad. It was a good game throughout. Denver just had that extra energy to finish it off. The plays down the stretch was huge for the Nuggets.
Denver is a much mature team and they're ready for the big show in the NBA Finals. Denver vs Miami. I'm happy for Denver though. I don't believe they've ever been to the Finals before. Like the Utah Jazz of the 90's. Well deserved. Yes they're up 3-0 and series isn't technically over yet but come on. You really think Lakers can win 4-straight? Nope, don't think so. Not against this high caliber Denver Nuggets team and Jokic is MVP!
Heat and Nuggets final is what we looking at rn. Heat nation 🔥. At this would hate to pick. Been a 1seed last year and we was counted out then. The Denver Nuggets feel our pain this year. And the Heat still get no love. Congratulation! On the win
Remember when laker fans were saying nuggets had easiest playoff run? Well, nobody easier to get past than the lakers!,,😂😂😂😂
idk but i think i’m
the only one that believe it’s gonna be los angeles lakers in the finals🫡
As a Bucks fan. I’m pulling for Denver
Props 2 Miami. But the nuggets are for real
They might as well stop playing bc now it’s literally impossible got lakers to come back now with only 2 games left
