DENVER IN 4
J.M. unleashed
The refs will see to that.
Nuggets in 5… There's not much this stacked Team can do vs the Nuggets
Lake 0. Nuggets 4😅
Lakers blew a 20 point lead and if Zion did not get injuried the lakers would’ve lost can’t do that Vs Denver.
lakers win
Lakers 0-4 , calling it now
time for redemption
Y’all keep counting Denver out, Lebum and the Lakers about to be swept
Tne Lakers haven't won a single game against the Nuggets since 2022 and the Nuggets are 8-0 since then.
If Lebron and co beat this team he’s the best ever no debate
Lakers gon get smacked 🤣 😂 😂
Lakers in 6!!!
Lakers in 7
they tried to lose but the refs got used to make them win
Good warmup round for the champs coming here
I would start Hayes with AD. The Nuggets are big and my Lakers have no shot unless they play big.
Lakers in 3
Denver 12 – LA 0 for the SWEEP SEASON
The Lakers have 0 chances.
First game – Ring ceremony
Second game – Kobe statue
Third game – Lebron record
No special ceremonies in the playoffs so maybe Lakers can win those games. LOL.
All those games were close though until the end when Denver would hit ridiculous shots. Hopefully, they'll stop hitting them in the playoffs.
chicken nuggets
heck yeah! they will most definitely be more competitive even though it already has been competitive!
LAKERS at 6 🔥
Nuggets are going to wipe them off the floor again, Lakers suck,
Seeing how the game against Pelicans unfolded, the conclusion is that these Lakers are not even the slightest threat to the Nuggets. I understand the importance of the franchise, James, etc… . But in a best of 7 series they don't stand a chance.
lol ESPN, now show the defensive efficiency since Feb 1… Lakers bottom of the barrel. ESPN always cherry picks the data to make Lebron and the Lakers seem better than reality.
People are quick to call the sweep last year not mentioning that the games were 2 1/2 possessions differentials and was competitive
Lebron gone be licking his fingers after eating these nuggets up
Nuggets in 3. Lakers forefeit game 4
Well can't say who will win them. I can only say that the Lakers will struggle in Denver. Denver has more talent and legit players than the Lakers. Another thing is that they should take care of Lebron's flops because that is one of his weapons, although it is an illegal technique, but it is popular with the referees.
THOSE STEROIDS AND PEDs AIN'T GOING TO SAVE YOU MR. LESTEROID JAMES….THE JOKER IS GOING TO SLAP THAT CROWN OFF THE BUBBLE KANG'S SKULL
They don’t guard them at all
That last clip of joker being guarded by Russel and reaves whike ad is watching is wild
No Vando, but instead we got two guards: Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent? I don't like the looks of this lol
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
Lakers should of signed another big for Joker.
I have faith! Win or loose. I’m happy I can watch another playoff series with the lakers in it. Been a fan for 20+ years. I have no complaints!!!!
laker will win this series, if hachimura will take on jokic, like how t-lue take on iverson. just bothering jokic. jokic will still score thats a given but bothering him everytime making him work harder that will work on Lakers side.
Lakers Nuggets – Mouth watering first round. If AD and D LO can play their A game then I think we have a chance to beat them.
Although it was a sweep the individual games last year were competitive
