Hard to see Lakers winning more than one game that one game also will be hard to get. Lakers guards are simply not good enough to compete with Nuggets.

Dlo and AR playing with 0 confidence against these guys… where’s the swag and intensity D’Lo had against the pelicans?

I told you midseason Dlo is fools gold. He is only good against midlevel talent. He ducked Denver twice for a reason. Ham allowing him to skip those games kept him weak against the Nuggets.

This is a series about coaching and Ham is hot ass. There is no reason any player should play 41 mins. They have a bench for a reason.

The second DLO was on the team after the trade deadline the season was over

Reaves looked like he was playing against a bunch of giants tonight.

This looks like a sweep, lebron balled AD balled and they still got smoked.

Keys things that stood out to me. Tell me what yall think. Stats in favor of Denver: Turnovers +6 3 Pointers +7 Offensive Rebounds +9 Denver total shot attempts 102. Lakers 79. We gotta win in more of these critical categories if you want to beat a good team especially a championship team like the Nuggets.

Allen you say it’s about the role players not stars. However the Denver Nuggets role players are led by the most humble star and a point guard that has never made the all star team. Playing for the Lakers is like having to share a desk right next to your boss (Lebron) and his favorite manager (AD). The nuggets are more equals, pulling together under an actual coach. The Lakers role players are like hourly workers. I’m an hourly worker so I ought to know.

Role players dont show up......beating this team in a playoff series wont happen

Most people have only been watching Jokic and the Nuggets for a year, and they still don't understand (or can't believe) what they're seeing. That's why they think their teams can beat Denver, and why they act shocked when they lose, like there was something their team could've done. There's nothing anyone can do. The nuggets are inevitable.

I’m just here for the lakers pain😂0-9

Offensive rebounds Lakers: 6, Nuggets 15 3-pointers made: Lakers: 8 , Nuggets: 15

Rui using energy defending Jokic...Mismatch. Rui needs to be on AG.

Playoff dlo 😩

DLo shot 30% - every other Laker shot 56% w/ everyone 50% or better individually - this isn't complicated, Bench DLo - embarrassing to let some mid role player shoot you out of a game (20 shots to LeBron's 16). Keep starting him, get swept, guaranteed. Denver probably will shoot better than 46% next time - Game 2 IS the series

Lakers go as Dlo goes. I’m promise u if Dlo is hitting his 3’s Lakers are unbeatable.

We started strong. Had 8 point lead after 1st quarter. Just couldn’t sustain it.

allen, you described the lakers as front runners. and i agree.

Bench dlo, try again next series or next year. No more excuses, no time for potential. Time to test the so-called depth

KCP 3s was the dagger in that 3rd quarter.

It’s hard to believe we lost to the same time 9 straight times feels like a horror movie

If he ain’t hitting shots he’s pretty useless besides some assists.

So many times did it look like they were not running a play out of a timeout, what was ham doing during those timeouts?? Sitting on his ass? That whole stretch where Denver went on a 13-3 run it looked like they weren't running ANY plays. You have the stats on your sets, USE THEM. Denver is not gonna blow up your play every time, but if you play pickup, you better get some buckets or they *will* punish you and they did

Dlo isn’t a playoff performer . Reeves is a ymca legend. With bron being 39 he has no legs and he isn’t cutting or moving.. the offense is completely stagnant. If dlo or reeves have the ball they’re too slow.. and either isn’t a cutter. You scan see the stagnation

I still believe in Dlo he goes 6-20 game 1 game 2 he will bounce back go 10-15 from 3 he’s proven he can bounce back so I expect that in game 2

Ham needs to play LeBron at the point. It worked well against New Orleans.

Lakers simply can't stop Denver at the point of attack at high leverage crucial times in the 4th quarter

The fact that DLo gets the bulk of the blame in these Nuggets losses. Yes, he was cold from 3 but LeBron turned the ball over 7 times, the team had 12 TOs. Plus, Lebron 4 pts in the 12 mins of the game.

What happened to the boxing round?

Win game 2 Lakers, or this series is good as done

D Lo shooting CAREER 39% fg in the playoffs, Magic the greatest PG of all time knew... too bad we have Rob instead (and thus Ham... UGH.) 🙀🙀🙀

DLO will be okay. He will come back and so will AR.

Simply put. Nuggets front office & coach beat their Lakers counterpart.

Im sorry if Russell doesn't perform well in these playoffs lakers got to trade him in the offseason doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity dlo doing good in the regular season and then lays a dud in the playoffs its just his MO

To be fair to Dlo, we shouldn’t expect that much of him. He’s shown us who he is in the playoffs. The lakers have 3 players that are the key. Austin, DLo and Rui. None of them played well overall in game 1. They need to have at least 2 of the 3 playing well and you can afford one to have a mid to bad game.

Hands in pockets 😂please

Damn.. 0-9

Name 1 team in the playoffs that would have reeves and dlo in the starting lineup??? They are bench players…….. I guarantee u neither would start for Denver 😂😂😂😂 it’s not the joker, he’s not the problem, it’s talent….. you folks will see when they face Minnesota..

Don't put the loss on dlo. The nuggets are a problem for everyone. The Lakers are too small. It's a bad match up.

Jahmal Murray injuries and deep of west at PGS...Stephs..Dames...CP3ss...all three future hof PG and Donovan Mitchell that made it over him as well. Is just numbers game why he hasnt made it... Looking at futures..Ja...Dearon Fox...still Steph...In the West.

I blame the Nuggets.

AD plays 40+ mins and as always the whole first qtr also Lebron. Off. Rebound was problem and 3 pts as always

Need to get better role players to make it far.only LeBron and Davis ain't enough to beat a team like denver

The more things change the more they say the same. Game 2 alters franchises...Lakers in 6

Bron should be bench when he make a pass mistake because he is getting tired.

Once Lakers exit 1st round of playoffs, during postgame interview they need to announce firing DARVIN SCAM like what they did to Frank Vogel. Then, plan to TRADE DLO & REEVES. BOTH OF THEM ARE USELESS. NO POINT HOLDING TO THEM COME PLAYOFF TIME THEY BOTH DISAPPEARED!

Nuggets in 4

The Nuggets starting 5 is better than the Lakers.

MARK JACKSON SOLUTION

Lakers wasted this season on how AD and Lebron plays great and healthy most part of the season! Once they exit 1st round, Lakers need to think there's no future for AD/Lebron era..at best they're always playin team each season. How poorly Lakers organization from 1st class to 3rd tier class organization.

This is what happens when u have no system...only 1 guy off the bench taking a shot...Rui 4 shots..reaves 9 shots...isolation basketball.. this organization is a joke ...it's time to rebuild we aren't winning anything with LeBron and AD

Yikes

You didn’t pick the lakers to win anyways so why does your opinion matter

Better coaching always wins in the playoffs

DLO 1-9 from 3 & 6-20 FG's🗑 LBJ 7 Turnovers 🗑 HAM silly a$$ should of played Hayes & AD Together more & more Gabe Vincent & Less T Prince 🗑 Ham got out coached once again why did they stop running plays in the 3rd qtr something very fishy going on there 🗑

Lakers fans we need too move on from lebron

Lakers go as DLO goes. Can’t win with 6/20.

D'Lo sucks

Use max cristy insted of spencer dinwide he is trash

Why didn't top 5 talent lead them to victory and the self-proclaimed goat do it???

Where was Lebron in the 4th? This is a lakers channel not a Lebron channel. Hold this guy accountable sliwa! He plays no defense and he slows down the offense. Geez!

You, LeBron Glazer’s really about to blame dlo and role players y’all baked in excuses are pathetic

Dlo a r trash they act like they cant play for shit when we play nuggets james did good but if u see your teammates not doing shit u got to take it over sad

Dlo gone have to show up are james and ad gone have to ball out all games get 40 are more only way we win if they lose game 2 im done watching

How the nuggets got one ring in the past 50 years but talk shit like they been winning is funny to me 😂
