Smith also said that the Celtics were the best of the 4 teams heading into the Conference Finals…
Styles make fights…the Lakers matched up well with the grizzlies and warriors…cause neither team had size to deal with them…Denver is a whole different beast…i think the warriors would have beaten Denver if they got past the Lakers…either way these playoffs have been wild
In the bubble, the Nuggets was inexperienced and young… The Lakers was too big (Javele McGee, Dwight Howard) and they had Rondo… Now, the Lakers are now going against an more experienced team with a smaller cast… Lakers got their hands full…
The Lakers are getting swept.
Their offense was always inconsistent, but they kept getting bailed out by all the free throws they were getting against the Grizzlies and Warriors. Those multiple games of getting 20 more free throws than their opponent helped supplement their offense. Now that the refs aren't calling as many fouls in the conference finals, the Lakers inconsistent offense isn't enough to carry them to victories.
Warriors weren’t a good team all year. Memphis is dysfunctional. You should reevaluate how you view some teams. Nuggets have been disrespected as the number 1 seed.
I think the talent on the lakers is just as good or better than Denver overall. The biggest issue is the Lakers team has only been together for half a season and Denvers team has been together for what 3 years. The starting players for Denver all know where they are supposed to be.
Denver Will Sweep 🧹🧹🧹🧹 after pulling that game off in LA. They took off on the Lakers in the 4th quarter that run took their soul away✌🏾💯.
Bro is still in denial. The Denver Nuggets are that good.
If ever there is a will to survive for the Lakers g3 WAS it. But to be humiliated by the nuggets in their own backyard in front of all the adulation of Lakersnation. The Lakers clearly attempted to fight back but everytime they were so close, someone from the nuggets team WAS always there responding with a bucket or two. In the 4Q, the nuggets basket shots response was by the whole committee. Every nuggets was contributing. How can the laker glamour respond? Could not, no more bullets left for the Lakers. Broke the back of the Lakers. No more gas on the laker tank. Even if the Lakers win in g4, for lebron and ad to go back to Denver and know what awaits them…even lebron understands fear and pee himself. For lebron to face g5 humiliation in denve's backyard. I do not think any of them current Lakers roster have the cajones to face it. So nananana nananana hey hey Lakers goodbye. Go Serbia15 and jamal. Changing of the guards. Younger lions outgunning older lions. Nuggets on the rise to the summit. Mabuhay!
Lakers after being 13th seed are in the western conference finals. Lakers will finish the season as the Second best team in the league. Denver being easily number ONE. Finals will be a joke as Joker will destroy the East.
I agree 💯 w/ Steven A. Smith!
come on we all know why the Laker bet the Warriors
I want a sweep
Love your channel and opinions but THEY AREN'T a good team they got matched up with big mouths with problems and an unsized team, they were good teams but not stable. When you pull back and look at The Grizzlies too many problems to list, they were victims, and GS was just too small Kerr's love of small line-ups and their age finally caught up with them not to mention the Poole party dried up. The Lakers may be a good team but in no way were they going to win the title. Everyone has disrespected the Nuggets too much, now it's time to pay that tab…
6:50 My Man where have you been 🤔 Golden State was the #6 seed and Memphis was the #2 Seed. But Denver has been the #1 ALL YEAR they’ve been the Best Team in the West ALL YEAR. You just catching up. Yeah the Lakers can beat all those other Teams but they ain’t beat the Big Dawgs the Best in the West.
Let’s all be honest here… as Sports fans. They Lakers were aided by the officials in the first two rounds… aided extremely heavy in the Warriors series. There's never, in the history of Basketball anywhere on this planet, where one professional team shoots 47 more free throws than the other… NEVER! The last warriors’ game where Lakers won by 21pts, they had 28 more free throws. When you analyze the series and equal out the free throws vs. win/loss points, the Lakers could have been SWEPT again by the Warriors… as bad as the warriors played.
Why did the warriors play so poorly? FRUSTRATION!! To see the Referees heavily influencing the games, knowing if they complaint it's a massive fine (financial loss), and it's nothing they can do to bring attention to the disparity. The Warriors had about twice as much shot attempts in the paint as the Lakers, EVERY single attempt had illegal contact from the Lakers, but receive very little foul calls. That's the irritation that destroyed their mentality. The Lakers is NOT a good team, they don't shoot the ball well, don't really have plays that can create great shot attempts. And their players commit fouls on 97% of every defensive activity with very little foul calls. The Warriors saw that all season long, playing against the Lakers… as it's the NBA front office [very] strong desire to ensure Steph doesn't win his 5th Championship before Lebron, while Lebron is still playing. Steph is one of the few players that has a winning record against Lebron… to include Championship series record.
The difference with the nuggets is their ability to disregard the lopsided foul calls and beat the Lakers with their superior shooting. The Nuggets also, cleverly, challenged the Lakers on the floor and not so much on shot attempts…minimizing the Lakers free throw attempts. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Lakers gets Swept… they’re really just not a good team. Plus, the NBA front office already accomplished their mission… keep Steph Curry off the Podium collecting Championship number five before Lebron.
Steven A. Smith said, " DLO should have splinters on his butt from sitting on the bench. BARS 💯💯
You can’t see the woods from the trees. Nuggets in 4😀
Denver Metro has 3 million people. That is NOT a small market team!
Lakers mailed it in, with 2 minutes left. They are going to get swept. With 2 minutes left, the Lakers still had a chance. They just gave up and did not even play the foul game. Nuggets in 4!
Bro.. wake da f UP! The Fakers are going to be SWEEP 🧹😂
First off – Memphis wasn't actually a good team. They were filled with immaturity, and they were missing two starters. Those are two key things that will lead to a first round exit against ANY team. They had absolutely no size whatsoever because of those two starters being out.
Second off – GS also had absolutely no size whatsoever, and they had no offense outside of Curry whatsoever.
That's how. That's how LA beat those teams. It's not because LA is a really, really good team. It's because they were blessed with the two most perfect matchups they could nab in the entire playoffs. And even with those matchups, it still took them 6 games to get through both of those teams.
LA is an okay team.
They're an okay team with good defense.
They're an okay team with no perimeter shooting outside of Reeves.
They're an okay team where their best player, Davis, completely no shows every few games.
They're an okay team where their second best player is aged and is gassing out badly in the 4th trying to keep up with 40+ minutes
They are simply… an okay team. The "best record after the all star break!!!!" narrative was never a solid argument because they had either the 1st or 2nd easiest schedule in the entire league post all star break.
Are you gonna talk about the collapse of the Boston Celtics? At least Lebron has an excuse, the brutha is old as dirt. What is Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown's excuse?
How was it possible the Mamba got swept by the Dallas Mavericks? The same year Lebron lost in the finals. Getting swept is nothing new to the all time greats. Your baby Mike Jordan got swept, I think multiple times in the playoffs. Just saying.
Grizzlies were NOT a good team. They were missing two key pieces, Ja Morant was injured, and their offense was super predictable especially no-one could shoot. The Warriors weren't that great either; they were NOT the championship team from last season. Let's recount: The Warriors struggled with Sacramento, only Steph came out to play-
everyone else was looking like a bum-and the refs sold a couple of those games. That should tell you something. Yes, the Lakers are a good team but honestly I think that Warriors series looks different without the refs help. Now the Lakers are going against a team that CAN shoot and is complete (no-one is out injured) and guess what?—they are getting their butts whooped. And that's in spite of refs.Fair objective take by Charles Stefansky. For the first time in my life, I appreciate you bro.😉
Charles, my man!
The Grizzlies didn’t have a healthy Morant, Kennard or Steven Adams (all starters)
The Warriors … let’s just say were out of character
LA Fakers are overrated and had some good luck to reach the WCF
Stop avting like the Lakers aren't a good lucky team that happened to beat a 2nd seed Memphis Grizzlies with some missing pivital key pieces like Steeven ADAMSand then, Ja Morant for one game if I recall. Don't act like they're legit when thay're not! They should've never been in the WCF. Matther of fact they shou've never been in the playoffs, period! Thanks to the NBA. Now thinking they can beat the Nuggets in a 7-game-series is somewhat disrespectful to the #1 seed since December 20th and the late 2 times MVP.
There are bad I said there win luck from golden
There are fucking bad
And golden state was not good team this year too
Good vid. You’re wrong on this one . Yes, Grizzlies and GSW are good teams but they lacked the depth and the shooting prowess of the Nuggets. Klay, Wiggins, and Poole were bad in games that matters most because they were inconsistent. The same goes to the Bucks squad. The Heat and The Nuggets are teams that have been playing most consistent basketball in the playoffs. No knock on Jokic and Murray (I’ve considered him Curry2.0 since the Bubble) and The Nuggets but I think The Miami Heat is a slight better squad with Jimmy Buckets. If I can do whatever I want – I would hand out two chips this season – to the Nuggets and the Heat because I really like Both teams with the same passion. Then, I look at Jokic – he’s still young so he will get his just a little later unlike Butler. We will get to see Jimmy Buckets dropping 40-45pt again in this playoff run.
With all due respect Sir, I was hoping the Nuggets beat the Lakers in game 3, but was thinking the outcome could go either way because I think the Nuggets are the better team, and the Lakers have LeBron and AD. Now as for game 4, game 3's result indicates to me that the Nuggets took the Lakers' heart outta them evidently by their body language after the game. They know that this Nuggets team aren't to be toyed with. With all that said, even though the Lakers beat a hot-headed Grizzlies team and a too small Warriors team who aren't anything like they were last season, they ain't beating the Nuggets in a single game. They had their chances in games 1 and 2, and the Nuggets aren't taking any chances, so they'll close 'em out in broom formation!
Warriors are shadows of themselves, Not Good. The Grizz are a train wreck. They are NOT GOOD. The Lakers caught them down. You sound like a Laker fan.
Lakers were below 500 carried to the playoffs and through the playoffs by refs and free throw attempts. Averaged 6 more a game then golden state regular season means they get 100+ in a series? Lakers were c9mplete trash all year
Lakers getting sweep period…..Warriors were not that good they were inconsistent all year and the grizzlies were missing 2 important pieces
NO! The NBA had the ref's call both game 1 and 2 against Lakers opponents!
Nah Sweep 🧹
welllllll maybe… THE NUGGETS ARE JUST THAT GOOD.
People not disrespecting Denver just face it they only getting attention because they playing the lakers
