How Jokic & Nuggets pulled off INSANE comeback vs. LeBron & Lakers | Hoops Tonight
Jason Timpf breaks down how Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets pulled off their incredible comeback win over LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their series. Jason highlights the biggest 4th quarter moments and shares what LA should have done differently in their effort to even the series. Later, Jason breaks down film from Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Dallas Mavericks’ 96-93 Game 2 win over Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and the Los Angeles Clippers as well as game footage from Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 105-93 win over Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. The show ends with Jason answering listener mailbag questions including why he believes LeBron James is a Top 3 player in the NBA right now, and what to make of Steph Curry following his sluggish end to the season with the Warriors.

The GOAT is a great shooter???
AD is playing better than lebron! That’s who is playing better than lebron
Analysis is shit as always when it involves Lebrick
A very slight shove 😂😂😂 yea Jason ur the worst 😂😂
jason i love your show my fren you teach us alot
My Pacers… always being overlooked and underappreciated.
Lakers need the heimlich maneuver
It would be nice if LBJ would just once take responsibility instead of blaming everyone else. He missed the shot, he lost the game. He is not a good person or a good sportsman and that is why everyone hates him.
So basically we should have traded Austin for Murray at the deadline for point of attack defense got it. Thanks Robby 🤦🏿♂️
Can the players call a timeout and tell the refs they want to challenge a call?
That was a shot from Joker. He's been trying to grift those 3 free throws for awhile. He does it every chance he gets for some reason 😂
Jason, you are the best! Thanks for grinding it out and excited to go on this playoff run with you breaking it all
Down 💯 Mailbag question ? Why did they overturn the foul Lebron is taking about where dlo got hit in the face? I'm actually a Nuggets fan so was glad it got overturned but I am just asking cause I don't understand it and thought you could clear it up. Thank you!
The Lakers are being "Outsmarted", "Overpowered", "Out Sized" as well as being "Taken Advantage" of because, of their "Youth" and "Inexperience" as the rest of the Lakers have just become "Window Dressing" for the Nuggets. It doesn't "Help" that the Lakers look "Frail" and "Timid" when facing the Denver Nuggets.
lebron is clearly the third best player left in the post-season
all the people congratulating jason on being an "objective lakers fan" now that actual film is in front of them to prove what hes saying is hilarious. He's been extremely consistent and has been saying this stuff about the lakers and lebron for YEARS but I see people constantly shit on him and call him a laker shill
The nuggets haven't even been playing close to their potential. At some point the nuggs are going to stop coming out playing sloppy and put it down for 4 quarters. Lakers did have me worried if they won, the momentum would shift their way going into LA. Every team in the western conference playoffs is stacked. So that being said despite the lakers record they are a team thats going to make it a hell of a game. Respect. But go Nuggets
Analysis Jason is lit and that’s about it.
So the refs can make mistakes and lebron can too, but Darvin can't? Love your logic Jason.
Lol just say Zu
Playoff Luka magic!!
For mailbag 😊
Hello Jason,one of the better NBA analysts that I Ve come across.You probably talked about it ,but I would love to hear about your Basketball journey,from highschool until now.I have 2 more questions,that are relatable to Denver-Lakers matchup.I am 38 ,and I am trying everything under the sun ,diet ,cold plunge , sauna, keeping my testosterone on the level where it was when I was 31-32 YO ect. but I just lack the energy I had 5-6 years ago ,so in my opinion Lebron is still top 10 NBA player,but if he would take step back and played 20 min a game max ,since you are similar age ,and you're not narrative pusher like most you "colleagues" I am interested in hearing your thoughts on ,mine opinion.
2.I find it hilarious Lebron complaining about officiating,and him saying "what are we doing here" is that just frustration,or trying to buy stocks for next game. Honestly he should be better than that.One bad call didn't loose the game for Lakers ,your 1h long video proves it ,and I could make a case that on the last possession he pushed off KCP ,and made offensive foul.But regardless, in you opinion is there a place for him ,and what he represent to this league to have such post game press?
Thank you for all your hard work , regards from Montenegro.
I love playoff Luka too lmao. Bro is fn wild
Interesting how people don't really listen to all your analysis and only wait to hear snippets that confirm their own biases.
As a nuggets fan think it’s wild people think Lebron shouldn’t have shot that. How often are you going to get a wide open 3 for your best player.
"The Lakers blaming the refs was lame, BUT in this situation…"
LMAO. You couldn't be more obviously bias if you tried.
I know that lakers have ALWAYS more free throws than Nuggets. They have over 20 every game and Nuggets as few as 7 in the same game.
After everything said and done this is Lakers wingers fan analysts.
Very similar contacts are fauls for Lakers whingers and not for Denver.
If you are Lakers whingers fan don't watch as it is painful memory, if you are not don't waste your time.
Just write Zubac as Zoobats and read it. As for Luka, č reads as tch, similar as ć….
One additional successful stop/possesion (or coach decision!) in the last 5 mins and the Lakers would have won. Instead, fans are infuriated once again.
mailbag question: you mentioned the psychology of the game. what do you make of Anthony Davis's sports psychology? ive never seen an athlete so talented yet lacking in that sicko factor where he can just fade in key moments of games. he's like a normal guy off the street psychologically who happens to be almost 7 ft and amazing at basketball. he's every bit as good as Duncan and Olajuwon, who though mild-mannered never shied from those moments. it would help if AD talked more shit when he's going off.
mailbag question: could denver be toying with the lakers? a 200 o rating in crunchtime makes no sense. Why don't they just do that all game? Mike Malone said they have adjustments they haven't had to use yet. How can that be true when they were town 20 in the late 3rd? Either they wield some powerful dark magic, or they're toying with us. I don't believe in magic, so is it possible the Nuggets just aren't even fully exerting until the last possible moment they have to?
I know Jamal hit the game winning buzzer beater shot, but the key most important shot of the game was the 3 from MPJ on that chaotic possession to tie the game. MPJ has been huge for the Nuggets. Considering his 3 back surgeries and the family catastrophe that he is going through right now, he has been a straight up warrior. 🙏🏻
Mailbag Question: I don’t know if you have already talked about this, but is it just me or do the majority of players look absolutely fatigued by the 2nd quarter? Can you expand on the importance of conditioning and “energy preservation”. Love the film breakdown keep it up!
If you were to predict each series after the first two/three games, who would you pick and in how many games.
Thanks, love the channel.
Really good answer on that first mailbag 'question'.
Most of us understand what predictions are, don't worry about it, Jason. 😅😂
Denver wins are so impressive because its Coach Karl against the world. Everyone trying to help lakers
You're correct about Darvin missing opportunity to challenge. (It would have been turned over) But, it's a consistent call considering the call where LeBron splits defenders & shoots sideways was also marginal. So….🤷🤔
⛏️🏀🏆✌️
You are 100% correct brother. First time i saw jokic play, back in 2016 i could not believe my own eyes. It was like 1 AND 5 in one body. People called me crazy for saying he greater talent than Kareem, MJ and Wilt. Please keep posting,we need people to hear the truth. Kind regards.
