Lebron “is a little bit out of his prime” according to Jason. Keep being delusional bruh
AD didn’t look good at all lol
Saying AD looked great last night is WILD
Is it just me or the audio is kinda messed up?
-Best offensive center ever
-Perfect complement guard in Murray who can always get his shot off
-4 players shooting around 40% from 3 in their starting lineup
-3 6’10+ players, great 3 & D player in KCP and an improved MPJ on defense
I don’t see how anyone beats them. I am a Laker fan and it’s just not possible to beat them. And the Lakers have the best option to contain Jokic in AD and it’s still a slaughter. I don’t wanna imagine what Denver would do to the suns or warriors.
AD looks great?!? Scoreless in the second half and had 1 rebound in the first half..
man you are really look like MR. Beast ……..
Bam makes Jokic work
Jokic is gonna be in the GOAT conversations when its all said and done
Hey Jason, don't you think it's a contradiction rating AD so high in player ratings while arguing in your team rating for Denver, that actual and not hypothetical success puts them on the top? In my opinion AD is the posterchild of hypotheticals
You really thought AD looked great???
Hate the gambling advertisement..be better than that
This man just say AD was really good this game? We watch the same game? He got punked
Bro AD looked good fr??? Be fing serious he was garbage in the second half
Lakers haven’t beat denver since russ was in uniform
Eager for another season. Thanks for the great content
How can u say Ad was really good in this game , when he scored 0 points in the 2nd half, an was a minus7
The James Harden disrespect is so real man. People act like he never had good playoff games in his prime and compare people like Dlo to him. Man is the only one capable to lead a team that almost beat the best team of all time (Warriors with KD). I understand what he is now but come on now.
Naaahh all I hear pre season was Lakers cannot wait to get a piece of the nuggets…then the opener happened
I hope the nuggets sign Gordon to a 5 year deal
