Underestimating the power of Lebron
You don't play every day when you are in the conference finals. Do better Steve!
Sleeping on OKC
I’m probably mistaking but I think Denver won more road games this season than last and actually lost more home games this year so I’ll say nuggets in 6 😂
They shortened the lakers team so the Nuggets could thrive and jokic😂😂. Rob pelinka traded away that whole lakers championship roster so the NBA could boost denver. Windhorst he is soo annoying Austim Reaves aint even worth 50 mill and he said Austin was the man averaging 16 and 17 points against bums getting 50 mill. 2:23
🥱 just like any other game it will be 8v5 on the floor. LeBrokeBack gets all the help he needs to push his narrative.
All this chest bumping, huffing, and puffing by this guy who couldn’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag is hilarious.😂
That was a nice speech from Stephen A. but the Lakers probably weren't beating the Pelicans if Zion didn't go down lol
Keep doubting the Lakers.
Mad dog is so funny and keeps it real 😂
I can’t wait till the Lakers shut that Malone cat up. All the nuggets bouta get eaten up
That's what you said last year step 2023 and you saying the same melda it will be the same in 2024 nuggets in 5 stepper 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stephen A how you gonna make the Knicks and lakers game? You bailing out on ya own team?
Denver is gonna sweep those Lakers out of Western conference first round…its over
Better get the broom out
Start sweeping
Denver nuggets finna win it all
To become as your 2024 nba championship
Mark my word
Nuggets in four or either five
Jokic, Murry and Gordon just to beat a 66 year old lebron. You cant make this stuff up😂😂
Quit,yelling!😂 the lakers wanted to lose so they could play someone else,😅 Talents didn't help the EXPERIENCED WARRIOR'S or other NBA teams sitting at home.😅
Lakers got to loose a playoff series
Lakers can't even beat Boston so even if they win wcf Boston is going to kill them
Lakers have to do 3 things to have a chance…become a physical team on both sides of the ball…play high level defence… and finally put the ball in the basket.
Why is mad dog on this show? Worst first take day of the week
What they watching step you blow smoke cmon man speak the cause you frauding😂
Stephen A just doesnt wanna go back to Colorado for the Finals lol…about to put the ‘Heat’ on Miami too, watch 🤣
All your screaming and yelling won't help the experienced NBA teams who got booted and are now watching at home.😅 Least experience team is on top of the Western Conference,the Thunder who are ready to play! Home court advantage.
I don’t think it will be a sweep again but playoffs is matchups and nuggets match up very well.
Doggy gone eat them words wouldn’t be the first time bron shut him tf up and he acts like it never happens
does the lakers beating the nuggets in the first round effect lebrons resume?
This series is Ad timie get injured he play to many regular season game.
He might be right. But I hate these assholes that make these statements just for views/clicks.
bye bye
Lakers don’t have a chance. Steven A needs to talk about the Knicks. 😂
Real Madrid
Is that old man a character played by Jim Carrey?
Come on. Lakers covid championship went through Denver
Lakers fan. When we won the chip in 2020, we had scrappy bigs getting physical with Jokic like Dwight and McGee. We don’t have them now. We also had outstanding perimeter and overall guard defenders like Caruso, KCP, Danny Green rtc…
Reaves, DLo, Rui are better offensively, but so many defensive lapses. I like surprises, but this is a bad matchup for us
Lakers in 7
