LeBron has so many missed defensive assignments because he's too busy ball watching. But he's quick to yell at his teammates when they make a mistake. But he's still my goat but he got to get his stuff together
This is what an ESPN panel looks like these days? No wonder why it’s down the drain
The lakers will win
Kendrick is 10000% correct
The fact of the truth is James choke with a wide open 3
Finally a good Perk take!
Are you guys kidding ???? Can't believe that great players like LeBron and AD can go that LOW . They talking about one faul in 3rd quater ????? How many fauls are not called on Jokic and AG ,last year ,this year . Those two get beat up every single game and they got only about 30% calls .
Lebron James has shot that 3 and made it 1 million times. Every time he missed that 3 it rims out the same way. Just like practice. The difference? No ball boy to throw it back. The shot was not reflective. It was like practice. Like a free throw. You make one out of two. You adjust on the second shot. No second shot. They lost because they became gun shy in the last 6 minutes. Nobody wants to foul out. They got 3 or 4 fouls and they let up of the pressure. You have to ball until you fall. Trying not to foul out causes you to lose focus. You might as well be out of the game because you quit playing defense due to foul trouble.
Playoff perk ain’t clowning
Jamal Murray is an assassin. The Lakers wanted The Nuggets in the 1st round. You wanted them now you have them.
Perk she always saying to much..perk said I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be here..😭😭😭💀💀..how yall work with Malika..😭😭🤣🤣🤣
The f*cking nerve of Kendrick Perkins to call Nikola Jokić, “the best Center of all time” is f*cking disgusting after that Black Card, racist sh*t you pulled last year that cost him his back-to-back-to-back MVPs. #Disgrace
Why so much talk about an 8th seed team and why the media have expectations from them? i don't get it.
This is literally DHam's fault. He waited too long to insert AD back in, and AD didn't get enough touches during the 4th. Lot of defensive mistakes when their lead is being chipped away at. Long stretches of drought that could've been solved by simply throwing the ball to AD down the post.
LeBron needs to step back and let AD be the star
😅😅😅… he know the answer
So many excuses. Lebron missed a wide open three to take the lead. The end. Can’t wait for Denver to sweep them again.
Fact check Zack on FT disparity statement please.
Its on the lakers they blew up the game
LeBrons should not lead the team…
Perk just nailed it
I don’t care
I love LeBron. He's my favorite player and my personal goat, but he can't dig any more deep than he did last night. No diddy, but forreal. They played the best they could ans still lost. Its mental at this point. They will be swept.
I agree with Perk
Bron’s IQ in the last seconds of the 4th was nonexistent. He attempted a 3pt shot with so much time left on the clock, he should’ve held on to the ball and drive to the basket to get an easy 2 or try to get fouled in the paint for 2 free throws. Score was tied. Nuggets had a lot of time to get a shot off at the last possession and the rest is history. Regardless they shouldn’t have blown that lead.
It’s interesting that Durban ham played 30+ minutes and only had three points. How is that? Not a thing
Let me get this straight the Lakers have lost to Denver now10 times straight, and last night was it was the ref's fault? When the Lakers get bounced from the playoffs early next week I guess it will be MY FAULT..Well at least they can't blame it on Westbrook this year.
lebron crying bout the foul on D Lo but if you watched the game after that happened when they was going to the sideline did anybody besides me notices that D Lo was smiling he didn't look like his face was hurting like he acted when it happened
Someone tell Cheney to NEVER wear the weave again. Her braids look spectacular. She looks gorgeous. As a Black man, it is so nice to see a Black woman enhance her African features. WOW!
It's all ogre.
You can go much further back and say that the Lakers couldn’t stop Denver’s offensive rebounding… That’s what lost it for real… I never want to blame the refs that’s a loser mentality.
Lebron James is NOT the greatest of all time.
Greatest cry baby, so a missed call made you lose the game in your opinion. Smh
I don’t think they can beat this team with Ham leading the team …
Bruh…LBJ ain’t the goat just like LBJ ain’t the greatest president
Ah the Suns did
You can live with Jokic scoring the ball but once he gets the others involved through his passing, it's a wrap. You gotta take away his assists.
Yeah lebron needs to start giving the ball up more
They chocked…. from the coach all the way down. Darvin Hamm coached a horrible 2nd half of the game. How you can only get AD 1 freaking shot the entire 4th quarter, should be a fireable offense. They were doubling Jokic the majority of the game, he still got a lot of points. They weren't even doubling AD, and they still weren't getting him shots. It's a travesty…
Wide open 3 with 13 seconds btw
😂just when you thiught kebron was going to catch up to jordan as the goat,murray snatched your hopes and dreams away.Got lebron fans pointing the funger at ham and not murray.Coach Ham didnt take the last shot you jabrones.
Eh are we acting like the lakers were ever on Denver’s level
ESPN, I know you are panicking because the Warriors didn’t make the play offs and the Lakers will crash out in round one. You think no one will watch without the Warriors and Lakers. But it’s going to be just the opposite, viewership will rise. All the people that you alienate with endless Warriors and Lakers coverage will re-engage. Neutrals will tune in to learn about Jokic and Murray, Ant, SGA and Chet, the Knicks renaissance, can Dame keep the bucks winning without Giannis. Maybe you will learn something from this, but, probably not.
The problem is Austin Reaves. …got paid and plays mediocre af…
AD was pissed at the press conference. Lakers will definitely get game 3 but I think he will go cold in game 4 and game 5 will be a blowout in Denver. This series is over either way
Perk speaking facts
Jamal is 18/48 and they’re up 2-0
