  3. Visual-High

    Lakers did a lot of crying over the off season and still got embarrassed lmfao.

    That was a really fun game to watch. The energy in there was crazy. The chants at the end were hilarious. Good stuff y’all!

  6. UnderratedNightmare

    Lebron gonna make some comments about “everyone gets it” when the media asks him about the fans! Lmao

  8. Superbotto

    Lakers have the worst record in the league.

  9. dRide12

    Ahhh so good to be back!

    As always, fuck the Lakers

  10. UnderratedNightmare

    Lebron gonna make some comments about “everyone gets it” when the media asks him about the fans! Lmao

  11. dnelson7

    Losing 5 in a row to the same team would cook my mental I can’t lie

  12. DefiniteSauce12

    Reggie was the best bench player today. Arguably the 5th best player today

  14. Donnie1490

    Here’s the problem with the lakers. It’s lebron age. He can’t play a full season without load managing. That risk losses and to be honest, the west got tougher so being an 8 and going to the WCF again probably won’t happen

  15. 720everyday

    If you could write a perfect beginning to a game it would be the team raising a championship banner.

    If you could write a perfect ending to a game it would be your fans chanting “Who’s Your Daddy?” at the Lakers.

  16. jbone9877

    A win is a win, but if I’m Denver, I treat this like a loss. Lakers really figured something out putting Hachimura on Jokic

  18. Broncotron

    What were the fans chanting at the end?

  19. Wakandaforever456

    Jokic is going to terrorize the west for years to come. Best player on Earth

  20. nez477

    Our starting five are streets ahead of every other team.

    Christian has got to get confidence in his shot good grief

  22. ApplesAndToothpicks

    I am still miffed about that last Jok 3, why were the starters still in

  23. landlion35

    5 straight moral victories for the Lakers. This team is on a roll. Look out NBA.

  24. Cloudkiicker

    Lakers are the worst team in the league CONFIRMED

  25. Bradleys_Chubb

    Typical Nuggets, ruin the home opener and ring night with a moral loss

  26. Klutzy_Text_3885

    Woooo!!! We’re fucking good again!! Bring it in!!

  27. jbone9877

    TNT really trying to get the trash talk narrative going and no Nuggets player even acknowledges them. Fucking twats

  29. n0t_malstroem

    Deangelo Brussels is fucking dog water lmao

  30. MarsMC_

    AD and LeBron just walk off court not even shaking hands, real classy

  31. volkof

    Lebron and AD might need to have more conversations after this L

  33. _cosmix1

    The Fakers have now lost six straight games to the Nuggets.

    They have also lost seven straight opening games.

    They’re also *still* the latest championship team to lose on their own ring night.

    LET’S GO NUGGETS!! THE CHAMPS ARE BACK!!

  34. IAIRonI

    Who’s your daddy is a weird/cringe chant. Hope that doesn’t last too long

  35. P0intcenter

    Great game!
    Zeke and Braun looked good, Reggie looked really good, the starters are the starters, triple double for Jokic and we beat the Lakers convincingly!
    If I had to nitpick something, a few too many minutes for most of the starters. Keeping those under 34 would be preferable.

  36. OrcaBaka

    We need those sweet pre-game FTL parties next time we play them

  37. Alex_da_great14

    Congrats Lakers!! Starting the season 1-0 in morale victories.lo
    What a good night, banner raising ceremony on one screen and the Avs on the other. I’m happy basketball is back!

  38. porkadachop

    Bench outscored 26-22. I’ll take that differential every single time.

  40. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Winning feels real nice. Winning $50 on a Nuggets win is even better.

  41. CriticalNav

    LeBron pondering retirement in 3…2…1…

  42. JohnBanning

    Did you guys raise a western conference championship banner too or just an nba championship one?

  43. ippocratic_oat

    Nuggets giving Fakers PTSD from last WCF. Can you find AD? Jokic said he’s been missing in the 2nd half.

  44. -AbeFroman

    KCP played out of his mind. It feels like as long as Joker and Murray do their thing and one other guy comes alive, we’re doing great.

    MPJ shooting struggles continue, Braun looked a little skittish.

  45. Disastrous-Object22

    The most competitive 12 point loss I’ve ever seen. The Lakers just put the league on notice with this emphatic moral victory.

  46. Jokara34

    I love how the lakers planned to revenge a sweep in the conference finals with a win in the first game of the regular season, but couldn’t even achieve this lol
