Lakers fans looking for excuses: "Hey guys remember that one bad call? That's why we lost."
The foul every laker fan is “confused about” : DLo gets hit in the head by Porter AFTER the foul they called happened. They were looking at the “push” on the hip of DLo. NOT the head hit. That was the “marginal call” they were looking at. And THAT happened BEFFORE the head hit.
Think about it. Does a shot count after a “on the floor” foul? No, because the whistle blew on the FOUL thereby ending the play. Anything short of a flagrant punch in the face after the play is over DOESNT MATTER.
Allie is so butt hurt
Real hoop talks by real hoopers
I've been waiting for someone to comment marginal contact calls. You were spot on.
lakers edge in the championship season was their size, now they don't have size nor shooting, unless DLO and reaves get hot.
I am a neutral fan and while watching it felt like Refs/calls were clearly favoring the Nuggets. That was weird.
The real winners are the LA crack dealers
Shoulda waited a couple more hours to record this after Miami took home court from Boston then this convo would be a lot different
Rich look like he started his zombie apocalypse arc 🤣🤣
Let's be honest, no-one makes it this far (to the NBA) and is this good (top 2 player in the league) and doesn't like basketball.
Laker fans and the team complaining about refs is my new go to example for when people ask me what “biting the hand that feeds you” means.
Mannn I dearly missed you guys!! Easily my fav podcast
Joking is not the best player in the league!!! Pure blasphemy
The longest 2 weeks ever nit having Road Trippin podcast BIG FAN from day one💯 thanks for coming back 🏀
Why even include timestamps for the mavs clippers game if Richard Jefferson is just gonna defend his ass take the whole time?
Love to see kawhi get back to 100% and win the chip but i don't think they can't beat a fully healthy denver squad
I have a Question Guys: I am not Nuggets fan but my Q is Did nba officially banned Jamal Muray not to be part of any NBA All Star games? Cos no body believe this dude never been All Star.
Na yall reaching with the tittle, sure its been 10 games but this series is a close one, home crowd gon make sure we get some much needed pts off the bench, hopefully they win at home and take that confidence with them to mile high, the role players that is
Questions for RJ:
How come LA has 19-6 ft in the first game, Denver 0 ft in the second half?! It must be some kind of record, Joker scored 26 points in the paint, 2 ft only?!!
How come LBJ pushes KCP and gets no call!?
How come LA in the last 2 years has 40% more FT than the next team after them, Denver is farrrr beyond?
put up a great review, ala all-city, run it back, odd couple, etc etc etc….drop the clown act….you guys are vets……
I agree with Jefferson.
I even think the Lakers series would be a bit different with a HEALTHY Vando & Woods.
Even with a coach that SUCKS (D-umbazz Hamm).
Look at the free throws Denver and LA got in game 1 vs game 2. Are we really supposed to believe that LA's play style changed so much?
If we're going to highlight this bad call vs DLo, are we not going to also look at missed calls that went in the Lakers favor in game 2? Are we really going to say there wasn't even one? Bad calls are part of the game. Missed calls are part of the game.
Contrast Malone's response to the Nuggets not getting a single free throw in the second half of game 1, "yeah that's weird but we'll win without them" with Ham and Lebron's.
The lack of serious conversation about the statistical impossibility of the Lakers' free throw advantage in the media is crazy. At the very least, y'all should be trying to explain what it is about the Lakers' play that's causing that.
Los Angeles whingers and Le Moan James.
Another point re: the Jokic/Luka/Ant defensive expectations discussion.
If Jokic or Luka foul out, their teams are dead against any serious opponent. Like you said earlier, Jokic is the system, the heart, the brain of the Nuggets offense. He CAN'T play defense aggressively because he cannot afford to give up fouls the way Ant can. Ant is a powerful offensive weapon the Timberwolves have, but if he's gone, they can still function. The Mavs can still function without Luka because Kyrie can fill that role. There isn't a backup Jokic. He doesn't exist yet.
Lakers fans! Make sure you take that “L” on the way out 😂
😂😂😂😂 – 14-Straight buckets ?? I'm passing AD the ball as he is checking in…LOL
The play type Richards comment about the marginal contact thing with the ball already gone is consistent with how Steph has been reffed for years. Both at the rim and on 3’s. And he’s Steph Curry. Happens all the time with him, including after reviews and protests. 🤷♂️
A teaching moment, Well done Rich your absolutely right!
It’s a prerequisite that if you live in SoCal, that you are a Lakers fan. Most of these Wankers are even transplants! Acting like the Lakers are the same team they were in the bubble, and the Nuggets are the same as well. The Nuggets are better! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Lebron chose to walk the ball up the entire second half, a thing he’s always done in the playoffs. He chose to hunt jokic but Malone adjusted to put him on rui, which took AD out of the action. That’s entirely on Lebron and ham for not recognizing and adjusting on the fly. Bron did a poor job not seeing that. Malone outcoached both of them.
I thought you guys stop doing podcast lol
