I’m not sorry for Lebron, he’s the one that ruined this team for no good reason, that Russ trade set them back decades
As a lakers fan, idk where we go from here. Clearly this roster isn't cutting it and neither is the coaching. New coach is a must and trade in the offseason but not sure what's really out there for us. Lebrons only getting older too. Probably can't bring both D lo and Reaves back. One of them needs to go they are too inconsistent together. Also it's clear that we need a back up big man to help AD
Cry cry cry laker babys
Lebron Lakers have been an average team since the beginning. Keep claiming that Covid title cause Lebron needs it for his legacy.
Maybe I missed it but did Jason even cover OKC and Pelicans?
This dude wanna cry for LeBron so bad its ridiculous all these LeBron stans over all the media platforms
Can't compare AD and Joker. Joker does it when it matters, AD disappears
Bring out the broom🧹🤣
I know Dwight is Older however, He took the matchup against Joker 🃏 Personally – https://youtube.com/shorts/PdcI_DBgKkE?si=YsCIG2ZjKW5FJSF5
All of the excuses made for not ejecting. Joelle are the exact reasons that we have Draymond Green the way he is now.
DLo picked a perfect time for a donut since 90% of sports media today is on the NFL draft
I hear your point about not wanting to win that way, but fucking Embiid was legit trying to hurt people yesterday. There could be a highlight reel of dirty plays. I get that you don’t want to throw out the best player, but I guess that means they should just let him do it? So the Knicks just had to play against someone who gets to play like a dangerous fool?
Now now. The Lakers won that in season tournament. Now you want them to win a championship too? Think about what you're asking..
Thank God you wasted all our time this year explaining how the Lakers are a contender😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Live by the bully ball, die by the bully ball.
I think your commentary about the Lakers and Nuggets is right on the "Money" one thing I will push back on is this, although I think you're correct in your analysis, what I see is the physicality does "Incapacitates" the Lakers in their "Tracks" but, there is opportunity for the Lakers to get back in the game, it's the "Fear" that's stopping them in "Fighting Back" because, I see them refusing to "Fight Through" the Nuggets opposition but, the opportunity is there, they're just not willing to "Engage" the Nuggets because, being "Physical" to a "Finesse" team, is like what "Kryptonite" means to "Superman", it ain't "Happening"! As a team and because, the Lakers are slight of "Build", "Mentally Inept" and "Immature" compared to the Nuggets as they are choosing to "Shut Down" after being "Punched in the Mouth" by the Nuggets! This is, "Definitely" a "Coaching" issue so, after 2 seasons in dealing with the same "Problem" the Lakers front office and coaching staff have not yet, learned how to adjust to the Nuggets game play? "This is Totally Unacceptable" as the "Coaching Staff" and "Front Office" needs to be "Retired"!
This is why you're clueless about the Lakers with your comment that they were the third best offense in the last 46 games you cherry pick their numbers look at the overall numbers the last 2 years there are suck team that lives in 8th😅 got lucky with their matchups last year in the playoffs🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jason look like he might've cried a little bit after the lakers game 🤣🤣
Love to see Lebron finally getting his ass kicked every game!!!
Le goat is making history these days, we should all appreciate that…
DLO and turnovers killed Lakers
"Lebron is a billionaire and has an NBA resume that can only be on tier with MJ, Kobe, and Wilt…but he's obsessed and needs one thing, ONE THING…RINGS! Don't be surprised if he tries to take the league mimimum for 2 years, and accepts the role of coming off the bench as a Sixth Man behind the Nuggets starting five😤😤😤 The man needs rings, not accolades and money…RINGS! And Denver is out west, juggaurnaut, he's familiar with the franchise and coaching style/system, still close to LA for personal/business endeavors…and my city is a superb city to live in with high quality of life…just sayin'."🤷🏽♂
Great to see LeBron lose again 😂 and this should put an end to the LeBron vs MJ debate. MJ would never allow himself to be swept two years in a row and he wouldn't jump to another team for the sake of winning the championship…
TBH, watching skilled players like Kobe, MJ, and Steph is far more entertaining than watching players like LeBron, who rely on their physical gifts to dominate.
They got too much pride. They’ll get at least one.
Here to just listen at how many excuses are given for AD and LeBron 😅
DLo got played off the court 6/7 playoff games against the Nuggets.
Embiid is a at home regular season player, when the paint gets clogged up in the playoffs he has troubles. He is juat so inconsistent on the road which is why he ducks Jokic in Denver.
Jokic/Murray/Gordon/Porter are the next big 4. They are not as dominant if any of them are missing. Lakers can’t solve this riddle as constructed
Embiids play on Robinson + overall grifting are some of the ugliest non-basketball plays I’ve ever seen
Aaron Gordan's going to the Nugget's reminds me a little of what Andre Iguodala did for the Warriors. They are very different players, but both were originally projected to be offensive stars and could have stacked numbers on teams that lose. But both became super role players who contributed a lot to a championships in less flashy ways.
The reason the Lakers are losing is not the supporting cast. And it’s not “Lebron’s fault” either. He’s playing well.
But it is his fault in this way: ten years ago, with the same roster, this is a competitive series. He’s just a guy now. Of course, he still has mystique and his amazing legacy, but he’s just a mediocre all-star. He’s amazing for a 39yo, but he’s not amazing any more. He has flashy moments, but he can’t dominate any more. Jokic is dominating and dictating these games.
People have continued to confuse the “amazing for a 39yo” for “amazing full stop”.
I don’t know if Lebron gets this. This is what could drive him into retirement. Is he happy being just very good?
And they are super competitive bc AD is so good.
I think this is what maddens me: this team’s only chance is when AD is a monster, yet there’s a sort of pretense that LJ is the best player.
Lebron is not the “third best player in the world” not at this point in his career bad take Jason but love show keep up the great work
If not for the replay center …
Mail bag : you have claimed Lebron is the third best player itw but I would say at this point in there careers AD is a better player definitely more valuable to the team he has been the lakers best player in the series but what’s your take why is lebron above ad
U NEED AD & BRON TO AVG MORE THAN THEY DO IN THE REG SEASON
Not talking about Embiids disgraceful style of play is kinda ridiculous…anyone watching his games should acknowledge the man gets to play under different rules than everyone else, and only strives for calls
Who was supposed to defend AG? if i recall correctly it was your guy jason
And us casuals sounded crazy when we suggested that the Lakers should have thrown that play in game against the Pels, to avoid Denver 😂
Even if the idea of throwing is a "hard sell" from their coach… What difference does it make, if he's most likely going to get fired after this is over.
Ahsmwm
You play to win, correct?
These are the facts:
He played with 4 sets of players as the #1 option (pre chip, chip #1, chip #2, Wizards) –
0-7 years no chips; 8-13 6 chips; 0-2 no chips
‐——————–
He played with 8 different sets of players as the number #1 option (two pre Miami, Miami 2 chips, 1 Cav Chip, post Kryie, Ball group, Laker #4 chip, Nuggets sweep team) –
0-9 no chips; 10 -18 4 chips; 19-21 plus GOD willing no chips…
Its over 😂
I really feel sorry for Jason, because you can really see the sadness in his face. Jason I love listening to you for sure, but you try too much all season long to lipstick on the pig 🐷. Laker is just a playin team.
At least if the Nuggets sweep the Lakers, LeBron won't have to hear "Who's your daddy?" — the chant he revived over the summer while boasting.
The Lakers moniker is 1st Quarter contenders…
It's just basketball, not worth having a heart attack over 😂
kcp is way better than dlo
Ahh. That rocky mountain underground hoodie..
Nuggets have been horrible from 3 AND they have yet to even play well for an entire game. Thats how good they are
