    Denver just decide when they don’t feel like fucking around anymore. These fuckers are the definition of leaning forward with a controller.

  2. indogunawan

    Playing the Nuggets is the definition of insanity for this team

  3. homefree122

    LeBron is now 0-2 in these recent historic scoring games

  4. Do the Lakers have anymore milestones or statue unveilings coming up that the Nuggets can ruin?

  5. Longjumping-Cup8062

    Lebron setting all-time records while losing the respective games is NBA heritage

  6. peaceblaster68

    The Nuggets may have won the game but the Lakers really found something with the LeBron/Reeves pick-and-roll

  7. This was inevitable when we knew LeBron was hitting a major milestone.

  8. MiaCannons

    In a close game all game long and the Lakers just get detroyed late in the game and lose.

    Classic Lakers vs Nuggets

  9. Why are they showing repeates? I thought every game was live

  10. OhWhatsInaWonderball

    Murray will play with two broken ankles if it means having a chance to beat the lakers

  11. NotManyBuses

    I swear you don’t even have to watch the game anymore and you know exactly how it will go. It’s the exact same script every time

  12. itsnotyellowfever

    Rui on Jokic is an elite concept until Jokic just decides missing ain’t an option anymore

  13. bigvahe33

    it was an even game until denver decided it wasnt

  14. WakingRage

    That was a really fun game to watch as a neutral. MPJ just could not miss and Jokic was showing why he’s the MVP.

  15. BigBoyFroggy

    Feel like i’ve watched the same game 6 times in a row now

    also, why did Darvin close with Cam over D’Lo? Cam was doing a fucking terrible job defending Murray, not even sure he did any better than D’Lo or Reaves would have…

  16. broke_boi1

    I would like to stop losing the exact same way to the nuggets

  17. TheSatanist666

    MPJ with a perfect shooting game, Murray hitting clutch shots in the 4th and Jokic doing Jokic things. That’s a Denver masterclass right there

  18. FreezersAndWeezers

    The nuggets ability to just turn it up to 12 is truly unreal. I’m not sure I’ve seen a team 1-5 be able to just *do that*

  19. Honestly, the Nuggets and Jokic just have that feeling of inevitability going on. Just elite when it matters and just flat out better

  20. CloneWarsMaul

    Justin Holiday does not care about the 40k point game

  21. gobroncos47

    Michael “More Efficient than Jokic” Porter, Jr.

  22. PlayInChampions

    Lakers played almost perfect game (33 assists and only 7 turnovers), but Denver decided to score on 12 possessions in a row. I think you need to be up by 10 in clutch to have a chance to beat them. Sometimes even such lead is not enough (Warriors 18 points comeback). I see a lot of hate from Lakers fans towards their head coach, but this is not the game you can complain about. It’s not normal to score on 12 possessions in a row.

    6-0 after the break. I don’t see Wolves and Thunder keeping #1 for long.

  23. Informal_Ad_8936

    The Lakers should probably stop having milestone moments occur against the Nuggets.

  24. sssSnakebite

    Denver, I was already familiar with your game.

  25. rattlemebones

    Imagine ESPN trying to keep people around after the game to watch their programming and rolling out SAS, Bob Myers, and Perkins

  26. gergab1133

    Most of the Western Conference can be grouped into 2 categories. Teams with great talent but little playoff experience (Thunder,Kings,Twolves) or teams with superstars with questionable supporting casts/ bad health luck (Clippers, Mavs, Warriors, Lakers. The Nuggets are the best of both worlds. Young talent, tough vets and 2 superstar playoff performers in Jokic/Murray

  27. Professional-Win-604

    3 guarantees in life: Death, taxes, and the Nuggets beating the Lakers

  28. Jokic texted the team “I want another fucking parade” and we’ve gone 6-0 since then.

  29. Enchanted-2-meet-you

    Denver is the only scary team in the west. All of the others are pretenders but man this team is insane
