Denver looks goos
Lakers in 6.
This is 'The Uncontested Shot Era.' Amazing to watch everyone get out of the way for LeBron to sprint paint to paint untouched easy layups. Wow. Three Point Shooters unmolested all alone. Wow. This Laker Team playing the 1985 Laker Team would be crushed.
Kobe wouldn't have let this happen to the lakers!
lakers ain't winning no ring
Lakers would be up 2-0 right now if Lebrick James didnt play Hero ball at the end of both games.
Bro fuck these bitch ass dudes bro light skin fuck head had to get hot in the 4th 🤦🏻♂️
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED LAKERS NATION 💪🏆 PURPLE N GOLD
If anyone thinks a home team going up 2-0 in a 7 game series means anything then you don’t know sports. Clowns.
The Lakers and their fan base need to lose this series so bad. Such a pampered fan base. Even when the Lakers lose the narrative is all about what the Lakers need to do to win. Nuggets in 5
Finish them jeff green
Lebron got the basketball IQ of a retard. How you gonna be the goat throwing up bricks and getting the ball stolen late in every game?
Nuggets not good on the road both team undefeated at home in the playoffs. I expect the Lakers to win both games convincingly
The Lakers will win the next four games.
Now the Nuggets just have to put the hammer down on the Road!
I was there, baby!!!! So much fun.
Fakers are soft. Denver in 6.
Eat up the what @3:24 😂
RIP Lakers and my bet 😢
Playing time to Thomson pls.
Jokic be out there Clownin'!!!!!!
Laker nation frauds
Jokić im je jebo kevu pošteno!!! 🤝🤣🎁🔉🔉
Fuck LeBron!!!
Lakers need to unlock Dlo and AD pick and roll offense. That's the easiest way to get them both going. Lbj should just a back seat and let Dlo run the offense. He can get his pts anyway anyhow. Obviously lbj running point just force dlo to be spot up shooter and that's not his game. You're down 0-2 u need to make adjustments. The AD and Dlo combo was very effective in all the series. Why not keep running it? That's it Ham, no more 3 guards lineups. Play Bamba and Troy Brown Jr. In the 2nd unit. Let Dlo handle the rock more then Lakers will win.
I feel that this is the moment for nuggets…
