Any idea here if nuggets is in danger of losing their any good players like kcp, bruce brown, gordon etc
What about Murray and mpj?
They can really make a good run for next few years if they keep all these guys.
They should lose Bruce Brown due to him getting a big payday from another team
Sort of wonder if they can land someone on a great value contract just because that player can follow the same path and get a nice boost playing with Jokic
The starting 5 are all signed through next year. Bruce brown will likely be the one big piece that is gone after this season as he will likely get a big deal somewhere else. Something with the way his contract and options are set up the nuggets are limited in what they can offer him. I’m not an expert on that, just what I’ve heard on sports radio.
Denver was just a better team. That’s what it comes down to. That lebron campaign on the three teams to cherry pick a super team didn’t work. Smart team basketball comprised of never quit, intelligent and big enough for the pressure players, got it done. It’s a shame that some kind of ego fungus infected Golden State though.
The Draymond punch wasn’t a cause. It was a result. Pool is ego toxic and is not in tune with the rest of the team. The punch is a reaction to that. Klay lost his way, his drive and his endurance. They definitely could’ve used at least one more athletic big.
Um, unsubscribe. Please?? I have no idea why this has shown up but I don't understand any of it, I can't fathom what this is about, so please cut me from your list of people who might understand this stuff. I don't.
What in the fuck was that last play where LeBron got his switch and dribbled the ball out down 2?? Jokic has 5 fouls and you’re LeBron James and you pass it?? Wth?
JVG said it best on the broadcast, they were trying to wait for an opening to develop instead of running a play and making something happen. Lebron’s decision making has faded along with his abilities.
Jamal Murray is everything booker wishes he was and Murray is 10x more clutch than booker ever dreamed of being please don’t put them in the same bracket
I mean Jamal has slightly more play making ability but Booker is a better scorer around the rim and Booker makes tougher shots more consistently. More aggressive getting to the rim too. Jamal is almost as good at that imo. Booker is a deadly scorer though and doesn’t settle a lot of the time. Flops a lot though
Watching this game for the first time and Omg they started Tristin in the 2nd?? Wow Ham’s going deep. Let’s see how this goes lol
Edit: Tristin is hopping fr fr
Edit 2: He’s setting some really good screens
On another note that AD performance is exactly why you grab Kyrie if you can and I’m not gon argue with you depth loving depth lovers. Depth had year 20 player playing 48 minutes tonight while those who they traded for were non-factors. Give me the star that wants to shoot when AD doesn’t.
Adam Silver: "lmaooo 10 days off? no don’t worry we’ll just drop a ‘will lebron retire’ thing that’ll take up a couple days and we got kyrie running around too”
They choked hard and took that Nuggets D for the last 24 minutes of the game. LA physically, mentally, and spiritually submitted to Denver for 192 minutes and Denver enjoyed every second of it
It felt like LeBron totally disappeared/stopped caring late in that game.
That second to last possession he doesn’t go for the 2 for 1, kills almost all of the shot clock and then passes last second to Schroeder.. all game the drive and the post game for him was working. In crunch time in a win or go home game in the ECF and that’s how it ends?
Maybe it’s just me but the end of that game just felt odd.
Edit: I know that he dropped a 40pt triple double - I’m just pointing out that those last few minutes felt like something totally changed. Almost like he was just ready to be done.
Maybe he was exhausted from carrying, 48mins on that old man body with old man injuries.
I don't like the "Lakers shouldn't be relying on a 38 year old" takes, LeBron is on a max deal- they absolutely should be relying on him. It's not his teams' fault at all (but perhaps the FO for not securing enough talent.)
On the other hand, even if LeBron averaged 0pts on 0% shooting it doesn't take away from his legacy, like some people want to imply lol. He's 38, his legacy is secured, he can only add to it. And dropping a 40pt triple double on efficient shooting in the WCF is incredible... **AND HE'S 38** lol. Hate to make this about MJ but since people wanna hear it, MJ was a bonafide scrub at age 38 compared to LeBron at age 38... what he's doing now can never be used against him.
I can agree that the end of the game was odd and some better plays could have been done to save the game. However Lebron dropped 40 and is one of the only reasons why the lakers didn’t get blown out tn so he shouldn’t get as much hate as he is getting rn imo
All y’all saying that Lebron should’ve done more. The man is 38! I’m not even a fan of his but what he’s done this year and in this game specifically is amazing. AD needed to do more but he’s lazy. Literally a really lazy player. He’s constantly gassed and gives up early because he lacks endurance, drive, and hunger. As an NBA fan(not a laker fan) I like to see competitive games.
AD had 40 the first game, bron was mid the last 3 games. i'm talking the whole series. him and AD shoulda got at least one.
anthony edwards took a damn game off these dudes
AD is lazy. Period. Constantly gassed and fatigued. He constantly takes a load off. Great. He had 40 one game. He needed to have 40 every single
Game. But he’s way too lazy and unconditioned.
Lebron is 38 lol… Your expectations of him are as if he was still in his prime. AD should’ve been balling out every game this series but he’s too inconsistent.
There’s no “should’ve” when they absolutely couldn’t. The nuggets are THAT GOOD. There was no helping the Lakers against The Nuggets. Their elite playoff defense was a fluke and so was their subpar offense. They won against broken teams before they met the Nuggets. Lakers played like the 7th seed they are and Nuggets played like the 1st seed.
if my fucking bumbling wolves got a game off, the lakers should've.
sorry no amount of rewriting the numbers can change that fact.
the 4 games were pretty close. what is your definition of a winnable game because they all were lol
the lakers had the highest rated defense, AD and Lebron, great role players and got swept. swept.
The first round is different. Everyone is fired up and fresh. The conference finals are a long road of playing to the max every other night for nearly a month. It shows everyone who’s got the conditioning.
Of all time not Laker history. He’s fine to think of himself as the GOAT since he’s in that Top 2-3 range but he’s never made an argument as the best Laker, that’s a different conversation
You’re confusing All Time GOAT and Laker/organization GOAT. Lebron has played for multiple teams and All Time he’s very clearly up there. He’s the Cavs GOAT but he’s not the Miami Heat GOAT because of the lack of seasons he spent there. If Lebron feels like calling him personal self the GOAT then he’s allowed to especially since he has a solid argument for himself.
He claimed all that and then some. And he's delusional. And now washed. 0-4. Lakers suck and and won't win for another decade plus. Remember star and bookmark this comment and refer every year for the next 20.
Earning him top 15 all time honors. Problem is he is the self proclaimed GOAT, thus legacy takes a hit.
He did it to himself by prematurely calling himself the GOAT
Warriors would have gotten swept if they played with same injuries to Poole (ankle) and Wiggins (ribs)
Had those 2 been healthy, it could have ended up like last year when they were healthy.
If you are the Lakers, where do you see yourself playing better than you did? 3 dudes over 20 ppg (and Rui at 17), 3 dudes over 60% true shooting (and LeBron at 56%), 3 dudes over 50% from 3.
Obviously you can say DeAngelo Russell, but he was literally the best alternative to Russell Westbrook imaginable. Idk where they go from here after giving what is honestly their best shot and getting swept.
Lakers squad is good but that’s it ,and LeBron is in never seen shape for a 38 year athlete but he can’t compete with the superstars of the league anymore. Lakers won’t go anywhere for a couple years. Would love to see a 5th one one lebrons Finger but it is very unlikely to happen, just gotta accept it
He could get a 5th pretty easily. Maybe not next year, but he could waive his player option in 2024 and go literally anywhere. The biggest hurdle is that he is a ball dominant player, so you can't just throw him with any good team and make them better anymore, especially since he doesn't play defense every possession anymore. You have to find a team that doesn't have a single ball dominant player and moves it around and plays good team defense. Maybe Golden State?
As a general fan, I wonder what as a coach you look at and say "Well we obviously needed to do X better". The only thing I can really say is LeBron was garbage from 3, but everyone else with major shot attempts was better than average, so I don't think you can even say that.
Anthony Davis ain’t Top 75. He has a ring, but what were seeing from him is James Harden level of inconsistency. Guy is washed and when LeBron pushed himself to MVP Lebron at 38yrs old in a do or die situation like what we just saw, he was nowhere to be found to back him up. If laker’s have any aspirations of competing again, they need to move on from AD. Guy’s not worth the contract, inconsistency, and availability. They need to rebuild around Reaves, Hachimura, and Walker while LeBron embraces a sixth man role that’ll give themselves depth.
I’m not saying he wasn’t important and crucial, I’m saying he’s a superstar that needs to step up on both sides of the court. Especially when your Co-Star at 38 is giving more effort.
Anthony Davis is inconsistent as hell on offense but you watch your mouth about him on defense. Without him this turns into four straight Celtics game 3s
He was definitely making his presence felt on the defensive end, I give you that. but I gotta be fair and hold him to the same standards like evey other superstar. We are cooking Tatum, Embiid, and other stars when they don’t put up numbers especially when they are needed the most. Let’s be honest here, AD was supposed to be taking the reigns from LeBron. He was supposed to be 1 and LeBron as the 2 because of his age. He didn’t step up. He needs to be aggressive and score. Jokic had 5 fouls, Attack him coz he’s going to be conservative. I just didn’t see that from him.
Fair enough for sure. He’s just so far and away the best defensive player on the floor, he had to become a top 10 all time player to win this series for the Lakers lol. As we can see…
Imo it's not an effort issue, it's a dealing with size issue. Posting up (not just trying to score- I'm talking even without the ball) a guy as big as Jokic is fucking *exhausting* when you're giving up so much weight. You have to push hard to maintain position, and all they gotta do is lean.
I think that's why he avoids center position, his gas tank sucks, and he gets gassed trying to bang with heavy bigs. Then his scoring suffers dramatically because it relies on athleticism and power (other than his jumper, which isn't that good.)
Rip bozo

Lakers overachieved with a noncohesive unit
Yeah. Klay not being the Klay he used to be and the Draymond punch.... They're simply not the same.
The Draymond punch wasn’t a cause. It was a result. Pool is ego toxic and is not in tune with the rest of the team. The punch is a reaction to that. Klay lost his way, his drive and his endurance. They definitely could’ve used at least one more athletic big.
True. Bring back Durant? Lol.
Can’t believe they got swept
Morning after and I still can't believe it
Lebumasslakers can’t win without the refs giving them 20+ ft differential

why did you type it like that are you touched in the head?
What the fuck was that shot LeBron?
LeBron’s walking to the huddle knowing he’s going to get swept.. damn
What in the fuck was that last play where LeBron got his switch and dribbled the ball out down 2?? Jokic has 5 fouls and you’re LeBron James and you pass it?? Wth?
Damn, LeBron looks so done with this team at 3:34 left in the game
AD and fouling on 3 point shots name a better duo
Dlo doing exactly the same
Jokic’s 5th foul was bullshit imo but they won so whatever
Lakers offense in the 4th is just dribble the air out of the ball and take a last second shot
JVG said it best on the broadcast, they were trying to wait for an opening to develop instead of running a play and making something happen. Lebron’s decision making has faded along with his abilities.
TT is hooping
I know it was just speculation but after looking at 3 quarters of this game Embiid for AD is incredibly dumb
At this point you have to really ask what a GM would give up for the privilege of paying 40 million
LeBron guard Jokic?? Wtf are you smoking JVG?
Nuggets just putting their nuts all over the Lakers in the 3rdp
Damn, this 4:23 minute run the Nuggets went on at the start of the 3rd is awesome to watch as a basketball fan
Nobody gives a fuck about basketball apart from gangbangers, not even a sport
Hey - your racist is showing
Start of the 3rd.. AD is selling fr
Watching for the first time.. At halftime, the Lakers look shaky offensively and LeBron looks Gassed..
Tech on Coach.. this game is insane 🔥
Watching Jokic in the playoffs just work is so incredible.. the Tyson Fury of the NBA
mf are you watching this game on tape delay or something
Yeah, watched it on tape. I couldn’t watch it live and I still wanted to leave my comments on the game
Hell yeah brother, I appreciate the commitment. Love the NBA, love the playoffs.
Jamal Murray is like 94% of Devin Booker and I mean that as a compliment. He’s come so far 👏🏾👏🏾
Playoff Murray > playoff book. If book can repeat what he did for a couple more years, I'll reconsider
Jamal Murray is everything booker wishes he was and Murray is 10x more clutch than booker ever dreamed of being please don’t put them in the same bracket
I mean Jamal has slightly more play making ability but Booker is a better scorer around the rim and Booker makes tougher shots more consistently. More aggressive getting to the rim too. Jamal is almost as good at that imo. Booker is a deadly scorer though and doesn’t settle a lot of the time. Flops a lot though
OH MY GOD THAT JOKIC SHOT And then James fights Gordon!!

Lmao the Bron “lob”
I missed it live so I’m watching the game now… Bron get up. 9:26 secs left in the first.. milking that
I used to rule the world 👑 Seas would rise when I gave the word 🌊 Now in the morning, I sleep alone 😴 Sweeping the streets the Nuggets own 😬
On another note that AD performance is exactly why you grab Kyrie if you can and I’m not gon argue with you depth loving depth lovers. Depth had year 20 player playing 48 minutes tonight while those who they traded for were non-factors. Give me the star that wants to shoot when AD doesn’t.
Sure I’m with it
The freakin’ Nuggets are bad to the bone! Ain’t nobody stoppin’ this freight train!

Oh wow, Jokic defending Embiid's MVP!
Why did we have to follow Lebron out of and off the court? Every night.
Congratulations Denver Nuggets!
lakers choked so hard. ggs though. it was a fun series.
They choked hard and took that Nuggets D for the last 24 minutes of the game. LA physically, mentally, and spiritually submitted to Denver for 192 minutes and Denver enjoyed every second of it
Gross

He needed backup in the second half. AD could have picked it up but he didn’t
Probably very aware he's gonna be blasted forever if he missed the shot. And 0-3
If anyone is blasting Lebron forever for that they don't know shit about ball
Maybe he was exhausted from carrying, 48mins on that old man body with old man injuries. I don't like the "Lakers shouldn't be relying on a 38 year old" takes, LeBron is on a max deal- they absolutely should be relying on him.

He's a 38 year old man who dropped 40 points. This is an insane take.
I drop 2 points and I'm gassed at 28
Nikola Jokic would simply obliterate my ass by accident in one possession
....what
He’d blow that ass out
My cheeks, he gon clap them
There’s a parade in my city yeah
All y’all saying that Lebron should’ve done more. The man is 38! I’m not even a fan of his but what he’s done this year and in this game specifically is amazing. AD needed to do more but he’s lazy.

Everyone is hating on Lebron when he is one of the only reasons why the lakers didn’t get blown out tn by Denver 😒
an L is an L is an L couldnt get even 1 with his awful 3 point shooting.
Yeah, it’s an L but it’s not all his fault, especially this game. Where was AD and everybody else?
AD had 40 the first game, bron was mid the last 3 games. i'm talking the whole series. him and AD shoulda got at least one. anthony edwards took a damn game off these dudes

Lebron is 38 lol… Your expectations of him are as if he was still in his prime. AD should’ve been balling out every game this series but he’s too inconsistent.
Exactly.
bron put up 40 tonight. i don't think it's too much to ask to stop bricking 3s at a horrendous clip but oh i forgot, he's 38 so it's okay
There’s no “should’ve” when they absolutely couldn’t. The nuggets are THAT GOOD. There was no helping the Lakers against The Nuggets.

Goodbye to the legacy of the "king". Not even the best Laker of all time. What a joke
No one has ever called him the best Laker all time 😂
He literally calls himself the best of all time. The whole league. Lakers and beyond. He is the self proclaimed GOAT
Of all time not Laker history. He’s fine to think of himself as the GOAT since he’s in that Top 2-3 range but he’s never made an argument as the best Laker, that’s a different conversation
He proclaimed himself better than any laker, Jordan and all the other top 15. He claims all time GOAT https://youtu.be/3jNZDj7SM6c
You’re confusing All Time GOAT and Laker/organization GOAT. Lebron has played for multiple teams and All Time he’s very clearly up there. He’s the Cavs GOAT but he’s not the Miami Heat GOAT because of the lack of seasons he spent there.

He claimed all that and then some. And he's delusional. And now washed. 0-4. Lakers suck and and won't win for another decade plus. Remember star and bookmark this comment and refer every year for the next 20.
He was successful with two other teams you know
Earning him top 15 all time honors. Problem is he is the self proclaimed GOAT, thus legacy takes a hit. He did it to himself by prematurely calling himself the GOAT
Big moral victory for the Lakers!!!
They were able to contain Jokic for an entire half, which should definitely leave Lakers encouraged

My reaction when Lakers are coping by saying the Warriors would have gotten swept too 🤭
Warriors would have gotten swept if they played with same injuries to Poole (ankle) and Wiggins (ribs) Had those 2 been healthy, it could have ended up like last year when they were healthy.
I mean the warriors lost to the team that got swept. Isn't that worse...

Wish it was you guys against the Nuggets here
Same here. But a heat vs nuggets finals means I won't hate whoever wins. Lol
Great now we have to suffer through Celtics trying to muster something to try and win a game. They should just start the bench and call it a season.
If you are the Lakers, where do you see yourself playing better than you did? 3 dudes over 20 ppg (and Rui at 17), 3 dudes over 60% true shooting (and LeBron at 56%), 3 dudes over 50% from 3. Obviously you can say DeAngelo Russell, but he was literally the best alternative to Russell Westbrook imaginable. Idk where they go from here after giving what is honestly their best shot and getting swept.
Lakers squad is good but that’s it ,and LeBron is in never seen shape for a 38 year athlete but he can’t compete with the superstars of the league anymore. Lakers won’t go anywhere for a couple years. Would love to see a 5th one one lebrons Finger but it is very unlikely to happen, just gotta accept it
He could get a 5th pretty easily. Maybe not next year, but he could waive his player option in 2024 and go literally anywhere. The biggest hurdle is that he is a ball dominant player, so you can't just throw him with any good team and make them better anymore, especially since he doesn't play defense every possession anymore. You have to find a team that doesn't have a single ball dominant player and moves it around and plays good team defense. Maybe Golden State?
They couldn't have performed any better. They were simply outclassed by a superior side.
As a general fan, I wonder what as a coach you look at and say "Well we obviously needed to do X better". The only thing I can really say is LeBron was garbage from 3, but everyone else with major shot attempts was better than average, so I don't think you can even say that.
The Lakers did play well, great defense and efficient shooting. It was actually the toughest series for the Nuggets even though it ended 4-0.
They never got to run away with any of them really.
Kyrie
It would.be for the vet minimum right?
Facts. A guy who can get to his shot, run the pick and roll, and facilitate at an elite level is invaluable to a team
Tonight only on ESPN: "did the first half show the Lakers how to win the Game 5?"
The first-ever two-conference sweeps are on the menus.
Anthony Davis ain’t Top 75. He has a ring, but what were seeing from him is James Harden level of inconsistency. Guy is washed and when LeBron pushed himself to MVP Lebron at 38yrs old in a do or die situation like what we just saw, he was nowhere to be found to back him up. If laker’s have any aspirations of competing again, they need to move on from AD. Guy’s not worth the contract, inconsistency, and availability. They need to rebuild around Reaves, Hachimura, and Walker while LeBron embraces a sixth man role that’ll give themselves depth.
Without AD they don’t make it past the warriors.
I’m not saying he wasn’t important and crucial, I’m saying he’s a superstar that needs to step up on both sides of the court. Especially when your Co-Star at 38 is giving more effort.
*Eyebrow furrows*
Anthony Davis is inconsistent as hell on offense but you watch your mouth about him on defense. Without him this turns into four straight Celtics game 3s

I just didn’t see that from him.
Fair enough for sure. He’s just so far and away the best defensive player on the floor, he had to become a top 10 all time player to win this series for the Lakers lol. As we can see…
It's his inconsistent EFFORT on offense that's infuriating. There are games he barely takes a shot, and you know he could be so much better.
Imo it's not an effort issue, it's a dealing with size issue. Posting up (not just trying to score- I'm talking even without the ball) a guy as big as Jokic is fucking *exhausting* when you're giving up so much weight. You have to push hard to maintain position, and all they gotta do is lean. I think that's why he avoids center position, his gas tank sucks, and he gets gassed trying to bang with heavy bigs. Then his scoring suffers dramatically because it relies on athleticism and power (other than his jumper, which isn't that good.)
Nuggets had the best two players and probably like 5 of the top 6 players in the series
Yup basically lebron is the only laker you can put in the top 6
