DENVER 3 – LAKERS 0 😜😜😜😜😜
Listen to this fat tub of lard cry…..
LAKERS FANS WHERE YALL @!!?? 💛💜💛💜 YALL KING ABOUT 2 GET SWEPT!!!! 😜😜😜😜
Denver is going to win the NBA finals this season! They look like they're tiers above every other team remaining in the playoffs.
It is amazing to me how demoralized the media and the league seem to be right now because, on their eyes, the Lakers are failing to manifest the fake hope they attempted to sell. It was painfully obvious from the Warriors series tipoff. The games were consistently slowed down and stopped during crucial runs, and as we know, playoffs are about the who can create and maintain runs.
Now, they are going to have to endure a less marketable "Finals" with THE NUGGETS.
GO NUGGETS…
How does ESPN win anything with their horrible coverage and disrespect of the Nuggets. I mean you guys just knew that Phoenix and L.A were going to beat Denver.
The media sick. Bout to cry
Jamal has a max contract because his organization respects him. It’s the league, and media that are disrespectful
Dallas doing a sign-and-trade, Kyrie for Rui/Vando swap would be a great way to salvage that stupid trade.
Brian is still mad and salty about the Nuggets winning. Continuing to downplay everything our players do 🤦♂️
There we go, new scapegoat for LeBron.
Westbrook is gone now it's D'Lo .
Brian claims the nuggets had like the 27th ranked defense for a number of years which just absurdly incorrect. The lowest season they've had by defensive rating was when they ranked 16th in 2019-2020. 18-19=10th, 20-21=11th, 21-22=15th, this season they were 15th. The stupidity of all these analysts who just refuse to watch the nuggets consistently and just make up numbers as they go. Unbelievable to just be that flat out wrong lol
AMERICAN STYLE , PICK AND ROLE OFFENSES DONT WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS…..THEYRE ONLY GOOD IN REGULAR SEASON
Wow! My man Bomani! Nice!
Brian windhorst the klutch sports agent!
Awesome chat to listen in the morning workouts
Austin Reeves is the sole reason lakers stay in the game. His dedication is unmatched by anyone on his team
i wanna put all my money on the heat for game 3 lmaooo
Some people are simply incapable of giving flowers to Superstars that don’t look right. Babe Ruth, Jack Nicholas, and Big Ben proved it . Only people with agendas can’t see what is obvious.ESPN isn’t a sport’s leader anymore sadly…
The Lakers, make very poor shot selections. You win in the playoffs with defense and near and mid range shots. NOT, three pointers. LEBRON JAMES, has zero business taking 3 point shots. He belongs within the free throw line area, and in, to get an open shot at the basket. He is built like a POWER FORWARD and moves like one, but he don't have the foot skills to get himself OPEN within the paint, which is why, he keeps throwing up 3 point shots. He don't have the foot skills, LIKE, HIGH percentage, middle range assassins, MICHAEL JORDAN, KOBE BRYANT, and today's Nikola Jokic and Jimmy Butler. The facts!
My theory of the nba came true. The theory was that in the modern nba defense is overrated. Because modern nba players are so good offensively that defense isnt really necessary. 20 point leads and 2-0 leads mean nothing in todays game. Because lots of teams can light you up randomly
These networks trying so hard to downplay the Nuggets "disrespect". Y'all kept picking against them. Y'all kept saying they were a fraud 1 seed. Y'all never sent your main teams to check them out for 3 years while Jokic was setting the world on fire. Y'all kept making ludicrous claims as to why Jokic shouldnt be mvp every year even though you never took time to watch them. This is your time to stfu.
lakers are blowing it up after this season.
Only have a second team nba player? Investigate the failure of the NBA to recognize small market players and teams…
ESPN Analytic is a trash and it was in last year's final.
The Nuggets will win game 4, and then hope that the Heat wins, giving the Nuggets home court advantage. Better if it takes the Heat 5 or 6 games to win. This fatass host here is still sniffing Lakers jock straps.
Darvin Ham is not a good coach…. Vogel would make adjustments… what a joke… Ham couldnt make westbrick and Beverly better players.. should question his coaching for sure
Windy been crying all night 😅
