Austin reeves had 1 shot in the 4th quarter. N he had to bring the ball down just to get a chance. How does the hottest shooter not get any passes from LeBron???
To be fair, Jason picked the Lakers in 6. BUT… at the end of his prediction video, he said IF the Nuggets win the series, it's going to be in 5.
Lakers and 6 right? Now nuggets gone win the title cause your pick is n the same spot Lejuice juice bottle is.. The toilet nigga
Dude your anger is palpable… lol
Lakers can't stop Jokic and Jamal !!! Denver showed that they are a very coordinated team. They started to play very well in defense!all the players in the team are playing well, and I think Denver will win the championship ring this year.
saying the warriors last year had ELITE rim protection is a little delusional lmfao
Your analysis is way off sir. The reason why Denver is winning is because you don’t have players in LA that know or care about the game. Especially Lebron. He has no interest in taking over the game. He never has had that killer instinct which is why he will never be better than Jordan. If it were Jordan he would’ve been screaming at his players to put in more effort and if they didn’t wake up he would tell them to give him the ball and move out the way. Darvon Ham is not a good coach either per your analysis. What a shame .
Much respect!! Props buddy, your approach to “ fan and analyst “ is the gold standard.
Also I love how you judge “ the best player in/as …..”
Great content, keep up the good work!!
Jason, you are not learning your lesson in a complete way:
Offensive rebounds make up for bad rim protection.
Also, don’t forget about your rants about how much deeper LA and their bench is. My god you were way too high on DLo, Lonnie
Lmao he blamed him picking tbe Lakers on his father.😂😂
Bro don't tell me DLo is a big reason they're losing. LeBron had been outplayed by Austin Reaves this series. He got too old and tired. Still playing at a high level for his age but still
IMO, in team sports defence doesn't win championships, teamwork does. It may be defence, it may be offence, it may be "luck favours people who never give up", or something in between but it would be a teamwork. And the short vids from Denver's locker room after the matches shows that.
Well Jason you’ve been wrong a lot man , you talking good but your takes are bias due to your love for LeBron . You seem to be hoping more than actually going off pure facts
The final last best chance for that #5
Unfortunate
Lol
If the refs didnt give you 30 more freethrows you won't be making excuses for the Los Angeles Floppers coz otherwise you'd be blown by double digits by the Warriors. The refs can only take you so far, the warriors is a better matchup for the nuggets.
Too late to get on the bandwagon
Hahaha hahaha, Denver broked the Lakers 😂 now all of sudden Nuggets going to win the title! You were wrong the whole time😅
It’s hurts my soul to see how Lebron has declined 😭 I knew it would happen but I wasn’t ready. Prime Lebron with this team, beats these Nuggets in 5.
Finally a video talking about the greatness of nuggets.. Still we are not hearing lakers were a bad team – 7th seed btw and superstars are not playing at superstar level.. Role players were carrying the load and Role players can't win the chip by themselves! And they beat Memphis who are playing like dumb teenagers and a warriors team who were totally out of form and soley dependant on curry's greatness
At age 38, LeBron ran out of gas during crunch time. 8.36 down by 1 point, LeBron misses free throw. LeBron then sits. 7.00 LeBron enters game with Lakers down by 5 points. 6.00 LeBron misses another 3-pointer, 5:30 LeBron fails to box out Bruce Brown and the Nuggets lead expands to 10. LeBron shot the 3-pointers poorly in the 4th for the playoffs going 1 for 21.
James bribed the refs and Green in the warriors series. Problem is, even if the refs give you +20 freethrows a game there's zero inner turmoil on Denver's team. Also their players showed up… Unlike Klay, Wiggins, Poole, and Kerr bailed on Moody and Kuminga 😢. On that note hope Klay and Draymond get traded and they get an x's and o's coach who doesn't bench his young talent when they need in game experience THE MOST
Warriors should’ve won the series against the Lakers I’m sure warriors beating the the nuggets right now
Damn right they are.
I wanted to Lakers to win this series.but looks likes it's over
I'm not a Lakers fan, but JT is talking like the series is over.
Hahaha sad😂
They're going to win tugged semi-finals. However, if Miami wins East, it's going 7 games.
Once Again Great Analysis! As A Lifelong Laker Fan! Denver Is The Better Team! And Should Win The World Championship in 3 Weeks!
Ummmm…I think you guys were wrong b/c you put your faith in a False 🐐 GOAT who cant even lose with dignity 😂 wouldn't be surprised if he sits out next game with an "injury" and if the Lakers get a sweep/gentleman's sweep enter the AD scapegoating/Russell Westbrook scapegoating(not even on the team anymore) 😂😂😂" Lebron needs more help" blah blah blah he basically got a whole new team after trading Westbrook along with the Lakers getting all the phantom foul calls his heart could desire😅
Idk, if I’m a lakers fan I’m going into game 4 confident. seems like they figured something out.
You only need to play good enough defense to keep the other team from scoring MORE than you.. not keep them to zero.
