FIRST TAKE: "THE LAKERS ARE BACK" - STEPHEN A.'S REACTION AFTER AVOIDING SWEEP! LAKERS NEWS TODAY 

Allowing Murray to loop around screens and go straight into the lane for a lay-ups is what will get Ham fired.

Lakers in 7❤❤❤

They definitely should be up if the others give u atleast 20 a piece

LeBron giving them a dose of their own medicine. Creeping into the dunker spot was a strategic master move. The same thing that make them sting is their weakness

Wilmond and perk don lost their minds. D'lo is paid millions to play for the Lakers. he must deliver every night for them ....

Lakers is gonna win it all 🤣

LAKERS STiLL Have A Long Clime To Go. This Squad MUST WORK THERE ASSES OFF. One Game at A TiME. LET'S GET GAME 5... HiT DENVER HARD, No Mercey...L.A. LET'S GO.

Lebron is one the greatest I’ve seen in my eyes man, I mean look at Cavs vs Gsw and we can’t deny it gsw back den came out firing,so if these guys buckle up the Nuggets is nothing to Lebron nd his team (change the play)

It's a team loss and team win. Dlo is the best 3 pt shooter the Lakers have ever had.AD has produced but not demanding the ball in the low block in the 4th quarter is crazy.labron has played lights out but dominates the ball and the offense gets stagnant. Let Dlo run your offense and this team will have better offense.

I also agree wit Stephen on da ant man he is future nba

Lebron and AD looking like he’s at his first day of middle school

On a fucking roll 1 and 11!😂

Dlo has to produce on a consistent basis because of who the organization & fans view him as on this team. Correct me if I'm wrong, but tell me that they don't view him as their third best option in terms of scoring & assists. He has to produce in order for them to beat a team like the Nuggets or go on to win a championship. I do understand that's easier said than done. The Nuggets do understand how dangerous Russell can be. Hence, they would surely devise a slew of defensive schemes to prevent him from getting too comfortable. There's not much it would seem Russell could have done on his own in that lack luster performance. It, therefore, means Ham would've to devise ways & means to get Russell going offensively. It would seem as if Ham is out of his depth when it comes to creating these opportunities for Russell. Ham, it's simple, very simple in my view. Get Lebron off the ball more, and place that responsibility in Russell's hands for good stretches. The more he has the ball, the better he produces. Multiple touches are what's best for him. Utilize Russell and AD/Lebron in those pick & role sets relentlessly. The Nuggets would have to pick their poison.

Nuggets take 11 straight! Lakers take the last 4 straight ❤❤❤❤

Stephen AIs on point

LEBRON has a chance to show his claim of GOATNESS

Park your right D'Angelo Russell's great he's the reason why the Lakers are there him LeBron add Austin Prince hell of a team let's get it together

I do agree with S.A.S.

People acting like the Lakers will win this series.. that shit gone end right in Denver tonight

Lakers will force game 6

It's amazing some people still listen to Stephen who averaged 1.5 points in one game - that's what he said😂😂😂 or others who didn't even make the NBA 😂😂😂

I agree wit Perkins

Welcome to the NBA.

Winning a game means you cracked a code...lol And the whole team shoes got rerouted where they had to warm up in flip flops...lol

Dave LeManimam is elated! The made the win all on Lebron but forgot AD's 20s double-double.

Malika felt like a little uneasy about that convo. She wanted DLo bashing & Kendrick wasn't having it.

5:55 He walked in with an attitude cuz he decided to come in there dressed like "Mr.Negative" from Marvel's Spiderman 😂😂😂

Coach Ham learned to take fast timeouts to stop the bleeding.

Nuggets better not let the lakers steal game 5

Everybody want to blame Deangelo Russell, but if it wasn’t for some refs ridiculous calls, and some bad coaching, and half the squad on injury list, or DNPs!? We are asking too much of these players now days, and when they have a mental breakdown and go 0 for 7! We can’t understand it. Perk is giving some serious in-depth analysis of what a player can go through, and SAS gets loud! Loud doesn’t mean right! 😮 They don’t do game analysis, they do statements to statements quotes to try to give us an understanding!! They are more incompetent than a person going through a mind freeze!

Say what you want Perkins Dlo comes a dime a dozen even pennies.

Anthony Davis is only a top 15 player? Come on Wilbon.

The Lakers got the momentum going. Can they keep up?. Will the Lakers have a plan a, b and c?. What should the Lakers do in game 5?. 1. Basicly, keep an uptempo game style. Why?. Denver is much dangerous when the game slow down. So, Lakers must make quick decisive shots. LBJ and AD must set the tone early. Then, get RUI and the bench knocking down shots eartly in game 5.

DENVER was playing like they wanted to win at home ......this time!!!!!!

Must AS shout ooooo

I can't take Perk seriously after that

Why the hell is Malika Andrews there

Did yall not see Denver not even trying to play ball at all first half and third quarter half way through......They started playing end of third!!!!!!!!

Its crazy how they can say all this stuff about antman. AND IM NOT TALKING SHIT! Cause I love him. He is everything they say he is. HES COMING YALL!!! But he gotta take it from the Nuggets! Have yah seen them play? This is mad!

Lakers winning the chip

Trying to blame Dlo on this is crazy. What point guard has functioned normally with James? Who, Who....?

Lakers in 7 💵

Biggest reason we lost all 3 is allowing jokic to rebound

99% It's gonna be 1-4 on the road.

Sana Kong Di fake news na Di mag lalaro si Jamal Murray sa game 5 may pag lalagyan Ang Denver 😅😅

Lakers need a 2nd half guard all of the guards fall apart they need a veteran that can control the ball possessions make the nuggets get desperate bigs can be beat fatigue him need more plays in the paint that involves more movement down low force them to foul put them in trouble early force them to rotate early make smarter decisions with the ball

Denver wanted to go home and seal the deal it’s only right 😅😅😅

You merely avoided being swept 4-0. 😂

Years and years and years and years wilbon???? How old could you be?

Lakers should have added defenders that could shoot

This is b4 lakers won 1. Anyhow Wilmond? you mean Micheal Wilbon the ESPN analyst?

Lakers fans: "We got the Nuggets RIGHT where we want em 😏" 🤦‍♂️

They will make sure a white coach win

It’s like that moment from cars 3 when all the new gen race cars was sending the older race cars into retirement.

Thought D lo was rolling a blunt

Nuggets in 5!

Cleveland A. Smith jinxed DEN at halftime

Fakers got Nooooo shot, said it B4 game 1!

Lakers back from where??? Sheesh … Sad how you can say that after not showing up for the first 3 games. Should’ve just stayed wherever they came back from !!! Smh.

It's not Russell. It's offensive rebounding/ second Chance points continue on

Perks 100 on dlo

KCP/Caldwell Pope is The Snitch With A High I.Q On How The Way Anthony Davis & LeBron Think & Play but Especially KCP Knows Their Weaknesses!, Plus As Rondo Says They Don't Have The Players, They Need Dwight Howard and Javelle Magee back and Caruso! Who Knows LeBron's and Anthony Davis Timing! 🤨

I agree with Wilbon yes DLO play was bad but he ain’t the lakers problem. I don’t even think it is DLO It’s the fact that whenever LeBron loses it alway someone else fault. Never LeBron,when they win he a Savant and floor general. When they lose it’s Darvin Ham can’t coach lol. Like bro I thought he was Mr. IQ who didn’t need a coach lol.

Name 14 players better than AD right now ?

Stephen a Smith calling Russell a snake, what about Klay Thompson 0 point in the play-in tournament???😂

D’Angelo Russell is a shooting guard and not a point guard

He's been at trade talks because he's inconsistent

4:1

No! The lakers are not back. They worked hard to not be embarrassed by a sweep. Not as bad as 4-1 loss. But will still be going home after their next game. Why? D. Russell and coach.

Is this going to be a repeat of 2016? Talk to me yall 😊

Remember Derek Fisher once played 34 minutes, 0 assist, 0 rebound, 0 points!

Just win

Perk is definitely correct! D Lo is a star.

Lakers are better. They just need to learn how to close Denver out

3-1 make it to 4-1 denver wins..

We have a lot of big eagles trying to prove who know more, not real Basketball analysts! Then they go get this old guy Michael Wilburn” or what ever his name is!? lol, SAS is saying that like no one knew about AD and Bron dissatisfaction of Darwin Hams coaching! The man watched his team loose a 20 point lead, while he held on to two timeouts and a challenge! And never used them! Everybody keep saying that Darwin Ham took that team to the western conference finals, he didn’t do it, Lebron and others helped do that! Darwin Ham future been a done deal! The only way he can not be fired, is take this team to a game seven!

Frail, long hip, no hairline Stephen A didn't have any hope that the Lakers would win game 4.

Now the Lakers are back?????

I AGREE WITH PERK , THIS TIME. AND I USUALLY DONT,

Ham is the problem.... what is the common denominator since Lakers started their losing streak? Darvin HAM... Simple, the guy is a wabblelu dableble... Lol.. No adjustment No proper timeout No motivation to play And no right play

It dont mater, we glad its not a repeat of last year.. they got one, be happy with that.. we all know its over. If LBJ have to score 30 pts for they to win da a sign for trouble.. they have to win bsck to back i dont see it. D Lo not cut like da, AD really not a center and dont like the 5.. and LBJ is old. The rest aint built like that.

Lefiasco

So basically y’all want the NBA to start rigging games to make the players who’s been holding this league for the last couple of years to gets tight and just retire because the league is now pushing the numbers and wins for the new up-and-coming stars got it just so they won’t have a drastic number in drop of views and revenue when Michael Jordan retired. They don’t want the thing to happen because LeBron is now exiting so they want to keep money balance and fans excited about the game during LeBron departure

Next will be at Denver. Lakers have no way to hide denver's shoes.

This series could have easily been 2-2 and even 3-1 flipped. Denver is better than the lakers yes, but lebron and AD been the better duo 🤷‍♂️

Darvin ham will be fired lmao. Terrible coach. How do you go 3 games with running plays in the first half, then the second half everybody’s standing around. Now the fourth game, they ran plays throughout the whole entire game. Look at the difference.

Lakers it's over unless the NBA cheat for leflop

Lakers fans keep on dreaming 😂😂😂 it’s going to be a blowout

Might be one of the worst Perkins take I heard

Bruh Darvin Ham should’ve been gone. Stephen A acting like he saying something. He can’t coach, flat out.

Why my guy stephen a look like he’s wearing black face?😂

They done, stop joking

I'm not the one to AXE this question.... LeBron should have went to college and worked on his grammar

SAS just showed he knows nothing about basketball, this team was put together wrong, it's not on Russell it's on the front office way their bad against teams with scoring 5s, AD is just too small, this team omly have one miss match every game and that's 39 year old LeBron, if AD was playing the 4 and LeBron playing the 3 this team would walk through Denver, put no they didn't want Howard or Cousins

Won 1 game ffs

Dat win felt so fake..they started running exactly wut denver ran..das y bron gt dem dùnks😂😂😂

Damn i just dont like S.A.trump.S. Why dont first take replacement him with Shannon Sharpe.

Just subscribed only to unsubscribe. That felt awesome‼️😂😂😂 Stephen A 🍑🍑 gets none of my eyeballs!

How are you gonna say AD aint a top 5 player he ran off 14 straight buckets on jokic. Jokic traveling and the refs giving the nuggets calls and if AD had the youth new orleans side he was Jokic would be fouled out the game because he had more agility and dribbled the ball more. These sports commentators are speaking false narratives and AD not even a center!

The players been on Darwin Ham, this rift been happening all season! I think Steven A Smith and the rest of them have too much going on! ESPN fired a host of good people, and this is what we have left! Perk mind is even being disturbed! Fox sent Steph home, and a depleted pelicans team sent him home! Their point is what? Because OKC is dominating a depleted Pelicans team means what? They will be saying SGA them ain’t ready yet when they lose!
