Thank you Denver 🙂
KCP hurt the lakers so much even in last year WCF. Lakers should have keep him.
Wala talaga kahit anung gawin ng LA mahina talaga
6:54 best defensive player eva !!!
Wild that the Lakers never lead lol
Right down the throat 🤦🏾♂️. These guys gotta know what time we live in.
Fire Darvin Ham & Rob Pelinka before its too late
The JOKER ain't no JOKE.
Another TRIPLE DOUBLE !😊
I'm not a hater but man the refs let Jokic take three and four steps without dribbling in the 4th.
9:22 WHOS YOUR DADDY CHANT !!! LeBum chanting too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WHOS YOUR DADDY
Who’s ur daddy is brazy nuggets
Joker not in shape
And still was killing
This felt like Denvers going to SWEEP LAKERS in the WHOLE REGULAR SEASON !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Time to recruit, los angeles helpers 😂
Man the nuggets are trash
Lebron looks like he's going to have a great year. He was aggressive i just didn't like how they waited so long to put him back in the game in the 4th quarter
The nuggets glazing in these comments is crazy
Still their s9 called Goat got beaten
Ad is way too inconsistent. Prince looked good but the rest of the team is ehhh. Another year where Lebron will be forced to do too much and it will wear him down post season time
denver has not slowed down a bit. They will take it again this year. Denver reminds me of Chicago bulls, they are all big players, Jokic, Gordon and Porter Jr., braun
It's just one game, but dlo inability to make passes within the flow of the offense is very concerning
LEBUM IS EXPOSED AGAIN 😂
Joker picking up right where he left off in the western finals and schooling his son lebron 😃
Denver reminds me of the old school Spurs. They are the definition of team basketball. The West is looking crazy and not because of Lakers/Warriors either…
Jokic is a master at being consistent and AD is a master at being inconsistent
The best thing that ever happen to Denver and Jokic is Murray is not a self centered robin.
Should of watched this than my Phillies😡😡😡😡
As long as Murray and jokic are healthy, this team is unbeatable.
Who’s your Daddy? 😆
Jackson made Lebron fall lol
DeAngelo misses too many easy shots plus his defense is non-existent, AD just doesn't have the effort along with the talent, Pitiful
Mahina ang lakers bonus round
I can watch 5:13 all day loooong
Jokic such an amazing talent I mean amazing player..A real MVP…Lebron,Davis…are just s…t
who's your daddeh?!
AD 6/16 FG, 0 pts second half? How??? Dude is soft af
I heard putting hachimura on jokic solved him
I believe Denver will get the #1 seed, and win 60+ games. You don’t need to be the deepest team in the league to be the best. All you need is a strong core and some role players.
2=5 😭 KOBE 😳😯🥺🇵🇷
🤣🤣🤣 the lakers are garbage 🗑️ basura
Love hearing Kevin and Reggie together.
Still a baby give him a pacifier 😂😂!! What a whiner plus a coach doesn't even let his real coach to talk wow!!😮
