The NBA/ESPN narrative is hilarious. I'm glad the Lakers are leaving early this year so we can stop the LeBron kiss up show.

Game 2 they was down 20

Well it’s a little of both. Lakers can clearly compete with them hence all the big leads they’ve had, just don’t know how to maintain. Part of that is because Denver’s defense but the other is lakers inability to close it out

They did praise them

Split image of Shaquille O'Neal common example when Shaq used to make by going to the basket and act like somebody styling him his hands will go all up in the air and things like that, just don't get in his way , just think Charles Barkley of how he take a stroke when he playing golf you have to see it again don't let him see you laugh was he playing is he playing common we found out it was for real, have a beautiful rest of the weekend my friend that's my opinion but I love you cuz he says exactly how he feels no matter what who don't like what is his opinion and that's all right in my book

The media is always biased towards big markets. It’s just like how the last three years the Heat weren’t taken seriously as a title contender and they glazed Philly and Embiid like crazy.

are you trying to say Nikola is not a dominant Big Man? really.

@@tarekt8427the man is saying that lebron only had to deal with Jokic and not the others

"Can't even"? Nobody else can handle him either. He belongs in that group right alongside the best ever. As a NUGGETS FAN I have plenty of reasons to despise the Lakers...about 3 decades worth...but I won't dis LeBron James. The dude is 40 & playing like guys 10 years younger would like to. I saw the era BEFORE the one you're talking about...Bit O, Elgin Baylor,...even Wilt Chamberlains last 5 years. I don't know who the best ever is because it's all subjective, but James is in the conversation & I put respect on his name. The problem for him right now in this moment is that Jokic is the best player in the world.

@@django4984 i think the addition of BIG COUNTRY is meant to try and put Jokic below the others named.

Jokic is better than every big men you mentioned aside from shaq

It’s really kind of becoming a built-in excuse. the “others” aren’t supposed to be tasked with doing what the stars should do. AG capitalized on Bron’s poor defensive focus the entire game. Lebron even went away from guarding the guy altogether. Bron had some really bad TOs, one where he dribbled off his leg and ranted on T. Prince.

ham sucks , pelinka sucks, bron plays no defense. its a wrap. not to mention we passed on cam whitmore for who???

@@kiingxfinessebron plays no D? Did you not see game 2 lmao and bro got to play a whole fuckin game just to keep the lakers in it so yeah of course he’s gonna take some breaks on D

Those players that the Lakers have right now were playing good before they got traded to Lakers. No amount of trade will win them anything.

Lakers had good roster. LeBron is just a terrible leader who undermines a useless coach and can't do any better

Finalmente un commento competente, condivido il tuo pensiero. Ai Lakers mancano i punti di Reaves e Hachimura , AD LBJ DLo ci provano ma dalla parte dei Nuggets arrivano punti e giocate da tutti Joker Murray Porter Pope Gordon , non danno scampo e dalla panchina quando entrano fanno punti. Impossibile batterli con questa rosa. Ci sono andati vicini in gara 2 ma hanno commesso troppi errori !

The same could be said for them not keeping a true PG. They have no real primary ball handlers outside of LeBron and he is too old and slow. They miss Rondo and Schroder.

@@justified004 all that is secondary. Look at Jokic's numbers in that bubble WCF. Slowing Jokic is the 1st step to beating Denver. AD can do nothing with him

@1RobertSmith it's not secondary because it's all the same problem. This roster sucks. No one is holding Jokic to those 2020 numbers as he is in his prime and tasted victory but going 20 and 20 is unacceptable. They lack a true PG that can control tempo and force the ball to AD when he goes stretches without a shot (Rondo). They lack the size to play physical with Jokic on the block (Howard and McGee). They don't have consistent shooters who also play perimeter defense (Green, KCP, and Kuzma). All those previous guys helped contribute when they needed them during that 2020 run.

@@justified004 you can't say what Dwight could continue to do if he was allowed. we do know Jokic is the same, no stronger no faster

@1RobertSmith but Jokic has never relied on athleticism, so bringing up his strength and quickness is pointless. He has become smarter and learned how to play the game better. I'm not saying Dwight isn't an improvement defensively against him because that would be his sole focus. AD also has to provide offense on top of his defense. The point is that Dwight is only 1 piece and LA needs many. They have no true PG. Rondo also came up big for them that year. They have no consistent shooters or perimeter defense. KCP is now a Nugget, and Kuzma is gone. Like I said, if LeBron is your best 3-pt shooter, then you have a problem. Who guards Murray, Gordon and Porter? Who hits those corner 3s now? How runs the offense and gets the ball to AD? Dwight was only part of it.

He stole that joke from Charles.. that’s why they didn’t laugh.

Dlo the starter didn't score

Exactly. He put playmakers on the roster. This team lack consistent scorers, lack size and has no true PG. All their faults show against a complete team like Denver. They can't even play offense and defense at the same time consistently. It's either one or the other.

People advocating for Magic to come back either weren’t laker fans when he was GM, or have severe memory loss. Magic was a way worse GM than Pelinka, Pelinka is the one that assembled the 2020 championship roster and the one who got the AD trade done when Magic failed the first time.

@@justified004see my comment above

Everybody Hated Magic As A GM But I Thought He Was Making The Right Moves.

As a Laker fan I'd rather them go out quick and fast then lose in the 2nd round lol

Sign Dwight Howard

Dlo the starter didn't score

If you have to duck a team, you don’t belong in the playoffs anyways though.

Rodman gave you HOF post D, rebounding & hustle. Man you zealots are outta control man.

DLO - 0 DPOY + 0 All Defensive Team Rodman - 2 DPOY + 7 All Defensive team. Get off Jordan's nuts he don't gaf about you, if DLO could provide the defense Rodman gave you'd be making sense.

Karl Malone score per game in 97 finals 21 19 23 37 20 23 24 point average which is 1 point from his average. He shot around 47% which is around his career. Rodman was not playing elite level defense. When he joined the bulls he was a good defender not great. He was a still and elite rebounder I’ll give you that.

@deistormmods Who accounted for Rodman and Luc Longley points: JORDAN. No one is guarding Rodman. You know that, right. LeBron is never going to get you constant 30+ or 40+ when his team needs to win. He does not care and he can't...

Rodman was the defensive rock for the Bulls and Jordan. He was clearing the boards every game which allowed Jordan and others to focus mostly on offense and made the Bulls even harder to beat

😂😂 Let's go!

This comment proves there's nothing we can do to save the delusional laker fans who truly believe what they say. There's nothing more fascinating than to witness this in real time.

we suck bro😂 get rid of bron and ham plz

Nice troll.

He was about to lump Jamal into others and realized that was a wack thing to do.

Stop it

@@reeseangle9621 I am all ears to listen how you would explain the in game adjustment we saw. Especially the decision to play Dlo this game for 24mins without scoring any point. Also, it has been all season long for Ham to make those clueless game plans, like 1. Let Austin be the playmaker, who is supposed to be a finisher, when you are having guys like Dlo, Dinwiddie 2. When you need length and size, he keeps playing small, while we can't make transition plays or threes like GSW 3. Close the game with Dlo and Austin when you need defense, while having Gabe, and Dinwiddie on Bench

sure sure Lakers Simp. Give no credit to opponent and overvalue your trash team.

It's far from the easiest defense to score on. Denver was 5th in the NBA the last two years in 4Q defense, they were 7th in total defense in 2024, but they were 2nd in defensive rebound margin which is huge because it means they have more possession than the opposition. Keep in mind that those numbers are for a team that was frequently far ahead in the game & playing their bench ate in games, which means they are skewed somewhat & don't reflect how good they are when it matters. Don't pretend that the Lakers should be beating this team but for some reason they just magically can't seem to hit shots. You don't beat a team with two All-NBA stars on it 11 straight times, coming back repeatedly in the 2nd half to overcome big deficits if you can't play defense. Denver has been winning all year with their defense.

LeBron James takes literally all of the usage bro. What he doesn't take goes to Anthony davis. The scraps are left for Austin Reeves and D'Angelo russell.

Most point guards don't want to stand around like they're Kyle f****** korver.

@@cheyenne11114 just take the full list of starting PGs around the league and exchange him for DLo. Except maybe a couple, there is no way in this world the team does not improve inmediatly.
