How the Nuggets sent the Lakers home (twice) 

Great execution has no tension, but is very effective.

Guy is crazy. He has been consistent in this series along side jokic. So far murray and KCP have been shooting poorly including bench of course.😅

What's crazy is that he wouldn't get shots in the 4th Quarter, but jamal, who has been struggling the whole series, would just call his shot every single time

He's slowly becoming that dangerous 3rd guy who can erupt from the 3-point line for the Nuggets. That has always been the promise but some fans still think nuclear Murray is the only ammo the Nuggets have in the playoffs besides meltdown Jokic.

​@@cliffproduction2056because jokic Murray two man game is the most efficient play in Denver nuggets arsenal....no matter how much one of the two is struggling...at the clutch minutes all of Thier inefficiency goes away...

GIVE ME FREEDOM GIVE ME FIRE GIVE ME SUPERTEAMS TO DESTROY OR I RETIRE

​@@vin8754so is this titled Fire or Or I Retire? 😂 If that doesn't become his motto now, it would be in vain.

Only dude in the NBA for whom people ask "but can he do it in the regular season?" It's hilarious. As a Nuggets fan, there's not a PG I'd rather have with Jokic [decision making, size, defense, competitiveness, shot making from all 3 levels, underrated great passer, emotional leader of the team, the whole bit]

@@Sean.Cordesalso a Nuggets fan and his reputation is well-earned. It's not a bad thing to be known for. He thrives in the big moments when it actually matters. He's not all that clutch in the regular season. But he makes up for it in the playoffs.

He's a reverse choker 🤣🤣🤣🤣

100% Cody’s idea

Smh game winning shot so predictable, what a boring playoff team merchant 🙄

LeQueen is the greatest ever of WNBA

Cody was the one to bring up "real hooperism," this was definitely his doing as well.

Best comment I saw on X was “yeah, unless he does it on a Wednesday in January against the Wizards I am not impressed”. The poster was being sarcastic, but I laughed out loud.

NJ's the only superstar that give screens to teammates & trust them to make the crucial shots🤗👌🤞😉

Yeah just think about that comment and he wasn't being facetious at all. This is an 'off game' for Joker and despite not getting a SINGLE call in the ENTIRE game (he shot NO free throws despite scoring 25 in the paint and pulling down 20 boards... yeah... sure.. that's a realistic situation) he drops 25 with 20 boards 9 assists two steals and a block. I NEVER had 20 rebounds in a game (hell I only broke 10 a half dozen times). I only scored 25 or more as a high school varsity player 3 times in 4 seasons and only 2x in college in 4 seasons and as a PG only managed double-digit assists about 25% of the time. The man ain't human...

That's insane this is Jokic's worst game. For many, this would have been their BEST game ever. Jokic is on another level.

🤣🤣

11:50

Way to go dude!

“Jimmy, that hard close out was clearly at odds with the scouting report, as #12 is shooting 11% on open catch and shoot jumpers. This is from a small sample, to be fair, but your negligence stressed our backline rotations and led to a weakly contested layup.” “Coach, I’m in 2nd grade”

Lol waffle. I imagine it goes something like that.

​@@wafflesofjusticethat 2nd grader could end up becoming either a heluva pro player or the future head coach of a ringless franchise lol think Ben Affleck's The Accountant but as a baller instead.

Funny because a lot of lakers fans are talking like "that was a lucky shot, jokic will not do the same this time". Well shit, jokic himself maybe knew that, and this year was jamal 🤣🤣 man .. who's next ?? MPJ ??

Yeah. Denver is located at mountains but Lakers heads are in the clouds

​@@user-ge1cu5uv4wimagine these Nuggets policing each other to see if one of them would smoke weed somewhere in the ski resorts while the season is ongoing.

That mile high messes with you until you get used to it. Same body change happens in Machu Picchu

Actually it is that combined with size. Phoenix is at pretty high altitude as well as Salt Lake City for Utah, but combine it with their ridiculous size and it is just a juggernaut on a joyride time when the Nuggets come at you in Denver.

​@ADUSN this happened in the UFC when they had a card in Mexico. Cain Velazquez had legendary cardio for a heavyweight, but he hadn't acclimated to the altitude, and gassed out against Fabricio Werdum, who went to Mexico to get adjusted to it.

well they had an entire regular season to try and avoid the nuggets first round, it is what it is

​@@hua..WE WANTED THE NUGGETS it is what it is so what next season we got em

lebron is a liability

​@@anubis4032lakers in 9 💯💯💯💯

​@@anubis4032 should have lost to Pelicans I think. They can beat OKC

The problem is, on the other side lebron and AD get any and every call they want

The refs tried their hardest to drag LA to a win but Jamal and the rest of the Nuggets ballee out.

The Lakers missed as many free throws as the Nuggets attempted. Wild stat.

Game 4 was a sold game. Should have been a sweep

Ofc, zebras are owned by Lechoke 🤮& Joptmvp😥

That and his save with a kickout to MPJ for that dagger 3. AG deserves a lot of credit for this series going to just 5 games.

Yeah that was definitely a push-off. KCP didn't flop in the least or slip he got shoved.

Love Canada❤ But Potencial team Serbia is crazy with these players: Jokić, Bogdanović, Jović, Micić, Marjanović... We have strating five all from NBA, but also and great players from euroleague. Olympics is gonna be wild if these guys play. Regards from Serbia to all good people

Why does Serbia's players'names ends with c?

@@leannejade28 I think it's because it basically means "son of [first part of the name]", the same way a lot of Scandinavian names look like Bjergsen, Eriksen, etc

which also means that Bogdan Bogdanovic is literally Bogdan, son of Bogdan

I know. Dillon Brooks was the hero at the world championships last year.

Are you fr? The only game he played bad was game 5 and he averaged 28 16 10 in the series, and you called the worst? Bruh be fr😂😂

This has to be sarcastic or you’re just stupid and don’t watch basketball. 2020? 2021? He literally avg 1 off a triple double. You are slow

I'm a lebron/laker fan and I'm still sick from game 2. I hate all let's go wolves.

The Nuggets were bad because the Lakers were making them play bad, period. The Nuggets were still making the Lakers play worse

@@breadcrumbles5753i think he’s talking about the team cuz i agree this really is the worst nuggets post season series they’ve had since the jokic era

Played less than other games but you're right, this was his contribution to the game at critical time.

Yeah that is one thing I really respect about PWat... young kid but he comes to play and play hard whether he gets 4 minutes or 24... I think we can thank DeAndre Jordan for a lot of that attitude the youngsters can't really bitch when they see DJ calmly staying focused and ready to be called on.

It is odd being on that side of the coin, after having the reverse feeling against so many other teams in so many other series.

MPJ is the cheat code here, for all these late game comeback, 6'10, great rebounder, shoots the lights out and spacing the floor. Reeves and DLo has skills redundancy, where none of them is a lockdown defender for both the game winning shots by Murray. He literally cake walk into those free throw shots

2018-2006 LeBron would beat this nuggets team. Now he is too old to make up for DLO and Rui totally choking in the playoffs.

@@jtwork5580 yeah. That’s all true. But it’s not some ridiculous talent gap. Each team probly has 3 or 4 of the best 6 or 8 players in the series. MPJ, KCP, AG are all mostly role players. It’s just that Jokic can make them into super role players. LeBron and AD can’t make Prince or Rui or Vincent into super role players. And Denver is maybe the one team in the league that matches LA’s biggest strengths while also maintaining their other strengths.

@@prince21781 I think I agree. But Jokic might just be so good that even swapping 2016 Bron for 2024 Bron wouldn’t guarantee anything

There was a difference of 5 fouls called.... the entire series.

Facts the refs did everything they could to keep the Lakers in the game when Nuggets started making run or in the clutch

@@Kosithegod Per half time maybe

​@@Kosithegodyou cant tell me that the call on Jokic betting absolutely hammered by Davis was the right call.And they reviewed it🤢🤢🤢

​@@Kosithegod you're capping so hard bruv when we have the facts. Lakers had 94 FTA the whole series while nuggets only had 79.

There were atleast 3-4 fouls on nuggets that i saw they didnt called.

@@ExplodingPoteto28 to 9 in FT is criminal but Jokic not getting any with most points in the paint 😂

And unfortunately we will never see a proper discussion around the free throw differential and how blatant charging and travelling by Lebron are never called in this channel.

@@fanfan9748 Lakers fans will just tell everyone " just dont foul" or "its because we shoot less 3's" lol soo glad those bandwagon tiktok fans are out of the playoffs!

Facts.

He doesnt need to be a playmaker, dude is the best spot up shooter on the planet

Even with that game Jokic shot the most freethrows out of anyone. More than lebron, more than AD, more than reaves...

@@Kosithegod Don t spread a lies

@@AtmosphericAtmospherehe literally did there’s no lies

@@MrDuckman0852 WTF are you ralking about LBJ had 5.7 fta im serirs Nd Jikic 5.4...even he playing in the paint..did not watched for AD but i gursnhe had more...

@@AtmosphericAtmospherethat’s untrue Jokic shot 27 and Ad shot 26 even though Ad shot the same number of field goals and shot 12 😊less 3p attempts

As talented as he is, he brings a lot of the hate on himself with his behavior. What kind of star keeps throwing his teammates under the bus?

@@Marmalada180 That's true that he can be pretty immature, but off the court he's a good father and to think he's the only star that's disrespected his teammates is wild. Kobe, MJ, and LeBron all have had huge egos, but LeBron unfortunately came around when the media was at its peak, so his words are picked apart the most. Not saying his behavior is excusable, and that it isn't annoying at times, but it really feels like he's way too overly critiqued while things about MJ and Kobe will be conveniently ignored.

I agree with you that the GOAT debate has become annoying. People's minds are mostly set; it's not a debate so much as a shouting match. However, it's LeBron himself and his fangirls all over the media that bring up the debate at every opportunity they get. It's not like Jordan fangirls are coming out of the woods and shouting GOAT all of a sudden. I still believe it's a stupid debate, but if the media stopped shoving it down everyone's throat, I believe it would've died down eventually. I also believe that LeBron himself is responsible for the majority of the hate he gets. Now success comes with a price, there are always gonna be haters. But a lot of people, myself included, are just tired of his antics and theatrics. If the Lakers are winning, he gets all the credit and he's the greatest player of all time. If they're losing, suddenly the narrative shifts and now he's just a 39yo dude, what do you expect from him? You can't have it both ways. He and his fangirls create those expectations for him, and when he fails, even if it's not his fault, he can't just duck all accountability and throw everyone else under the bus. Every star gets hate when his team underachieves. Just look at the hate KD, Booker, Steph, Harden, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, Tatum/Brown get. LeBron is not magically exempt from that.

LeBron carries the burden of having to make the league viable as a business enterprise, hence his overexposure in terms of attention and hype. For the most part, he has acquitted himself well, but sometimes he and his team just manage to get ahead of themselves. Having this spotlight has its own pros and cons. Ja Morant is a a good example of too much, too soon as the "next face of the NBA" and I hope the same does not happen to Anthony Edwards. As for the GOAT debate, this is a cyclical thing - I am old enough to remember the discussions regarding Michael Jordan's place in the game during Jordan's prime. To this day I don't see Jordan as the greatest but that's a personal preference and a reflection of the standards of what I believe as winning attributes. Big ups to you for your fair observation.

if you 40 years old, then take the pay like it... if you ask and get huge salary, it doesnt matter you are 27 or 40.. with lebron and AD huge huge salary, you cant get decent role player...

at this point wouldnt sign klay even if id get paid for it instead of a salary. and i dont think giannis and ad is a good fit.

11:15 was a foul

@@jollyswagman4714 If it was in the last game, then there was no foul called.

@@acctsys go back like 10 seconds you can see/hear the ref call it

Thanks - uploading it now!

This!!!

They were frauds. But of course the NBA had to find a way to make them seem relevant.

He’s not accomplishing anything, no accolades, no nothing, just putting up empty stats, dude needs to retire

@@realtruth1448what does he need to accomplish at this point? He’s just playing the game he loves now.

@@500kam lebron literally has less than HALF the amount of accolades MJ does... lebron is still BEHIND magic in accolades all time, and lebron has played 8 MORE SEASONS THAN MAGIC!!! 8 MORE SEASONS!!! And still has LESS ACCOLADES THAN MAGIC!!! And LESS THAN HALF OF MJ!!! Then you got dudes calling this man the GOAT? And accolades ain’t just “rings” it’s DPOY, steal titles, scoring titles, etc etc, this dude is the biggest FRAUD IN NBA HISTORY!!! He’s going to continue to be exposed left and right

@@500kam for reference MJ has 37 accolades, magic has 19 lebron has 18 MJ has played 13 1/2 seasons Magic 13 seasons Lebron 21 seasons Dude has played about 8 seasons more than MJ & magic and still can’t beat them in accomplishments, and can’t beat MJ or bird in stats, and you guys calling him the goat, the goat AT WHAT? What has this fraud done for him to be accepted even better than LARRY BIRD? What? Nothing he has done nothing but flop, cry, lie, choke, stat pad, build super teams, dude should be compared to SHAQ!

@@500kam Why is he playing if there is nothing to accomplish? He's clearly stated he wants to win more rings. But then he says things like "It's just basketball." Him and his fans don't know wtf he's playing for. He doesn't need the $$$. And the whole game he loves thing is hilarious. If you believe that I have to assume you're 12-14 yrs old.

It's wild how he gets away with all these bs. Truth is these two teams weren't in the same level at all. Nuggets can easy sweep Lakers with a 10+ score lead in every game in a fair playground

I think a Knicks Hartenstein like center, a new PG, move AD to forward, and get a solid 6th man for the bench. If you can keep Rui. Definitely do not trade Reaves, keep him untouchable unless it is for someone 25 or younger who is way better, not just more athletic (some like D Murray is more athletic, but not way better and is not younger). I don't think the Lakers neeed another star. They need more rebounding, consistency and Ham is gone so a solid head coach that can coach Bron.
