Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Game 1 Full Highlights | 2024 WCR1 | FreeDawkins 

not even a fan of either team. but gosh everything seems easy for jokic, this man is born to play basketball.

Bruh, Jokic had 4 dunks lmao, this thing is over.

The main issue with Lakers is all said with their body language. They get frustrated when they're behind several points. They start complaining, getting frustrated with their own teammates, and that lowers morale and concentration. The Nuggets just keep moving forward. They rarely get frustrated at one another, or themselves. The mindset is different.

Let’s be honest, Jokic is already thinking about his horses 😂 the playoffs are over and done with

Jokic is the most impactful player in the NBA. He makes his teammates better.

Jokic came dressed as Gru and treated the Lakers like his Minions. 😂 LETS GO NUGGETS!!!! 💪😤🥶🏀⚒️🪙🏔️

Lakers be getting phantom-ass calls, especially Reaves at 8:27 lol LA Refs going crazy!!

The NBA has become a true comedy show. How do Jokić and Murray combined take 47 shoots and get 2 free throws while Rui Hachimura takes 4 shoots and gets 2 free throws. To say the Lakers dont foul is the stupidest shit you can say in this situation.

Dlo was the best Nuggets player tonight🔥🔥

Imagine letting Jokic of all people, dunk it four times in one game 🤯🤦

U know its over when Jokic Dunked the basketball

Remember last year in playoffs when medias were saying Lakers got Jokic figured out by putting Hachimura on him and getting Davis to help instead of guarding him.

Jok only getting 2 fts is crazy 😂

Refs holding an emergency meeting after this on how to award more FTs to lakers 😂

On the first dunk, Jokic started so slowly that the opponents didn't even know what he was going to do :)

Refs played hard for LA tonight.

Points in the paint: 64 Nuggets 48 Lakers. FT's 6 (ZERO in second half) to NINETEEN (That's three times more!). lmao the fix is in, and yet it won't stop these Nuggets! 😆😂👍👏

The free throw disparity is crazy with this one and the Lakers still lose. What a time to be a ref fan

That shot from Jokic @8:16 was like „eat this“ 😂

AD holds Jokic every time, refs ignoring it, and AD still couldn't stop him.

19-6 free throw differential favoring the Lakers. Nothing to see here, folks!

Jokic is the most efficient player (and most valuable for his team because of that) in history of NBA. Delivers literally any game no bad games its like 9-5 job for bro

I remember 9 games ago the media was like "Lakers figured them out" 9 loses after the only thing they figured out is that Joker is their father.

Game one and the Lakers take 19FT to Denvers 6. It will take more than an extra 13 per game to beat Denver.. Come on Refs step it up.

Its ridiculous how this laker team calling for fouls every time they make a shot when they took more than 10 ft compared to the denver smh

Murray shooting 9/24 Free Throws Attempts 6-19 And still won by double digits 😂😂

Kentavious with no mercy for the Lakers 😂 He is a dawg

Fresh hair cutted Jokic is different breed 🔥

When Denver started the first play of the game by sending Gordon to iso at Lebron, the senior citizen knew it was over.

KCP and Porter are so important in theese type of games 💪🏻

fun fact: Denver has now beat the lakers 9 times in a row and has never led one of those games in free throws attempted.

DAMN!!! "Dunking Jokic" is something very scary.

Refs tried but Joker strikes again and Lebron walks out🫢

This game was so painful to watch I almost turned it off. When Nuggets got out on that run and took the lead in the 3rd, it's like the Lakers entire team became paralysed. I don't know how else to explain this other than saying that they looked like they forgot how to play basketball. Completely passive, bad body language, not handling the ball, not attacking the rim whatsoever (this was mindboggling), not knocking down any shots, slow tempo on offense and so on. This only happens against Nuggets. It's like the Lakers cannot do anything when Nuggets have the momentum. Let's talk about Darvin Ham for a second cause I still don't understand how this man is a coach, let alone the head coach of one of the biggest franchises in sports history. He played Rui for 31 minutes, saw that he was getting cooked by Jokic every possession and made no adjustments whatsoever. He should've played Hayes at the 5 and AD at the 4 when Lakers were leading. You'd think Rui would be there for the offence at least if he's getting cooked on defence, but he only took 4 shots. He played Gabe only 8 minutes despite him hounding Jamal on defence, which is what we absolutely needed. He watched Nuggets get out on a run and didn't call a timeout. I've never hated a coach more in my life. Even if the Lakers miraculously win the chip this year, I still want Ham to be fired. Even letting LeBron be the player-coach will be an insane upgrade.

Denver in 5. You can tell that all Lakers feared Jokic. nobody attacked him decisively. that push at 09:15 was sending a message followed by a dunk: one big statement: I am here and I don't care about what media says about you Leflop. When you dunk on Leflop it means you are the boss.

The only way to beat the Lakers is to beat the Referees. Nuggets knows that. Theyre prepared for it.

Dlo back to playoff form

Tbh I don't see any team in the current league beating this Denver team, they're just a bad match up for everyone. Stylistically there's probably only one team that can just about compete with them and have a slight chance, and that's the Clippers. Other than that I can't see who's going to stop this team from doing a 3peat at this point.

Denver is just so consistent over all quarters, you just know they're going to walk away in the 3rd.

8:14 AD tripping in air was hilarious

Don't worry everyone, the Lakers figured it out for the next game 😂

NBA is not hiding anymore how they’re helping LOLkers. The free throws difference is ridiculous

Reaves/Rui/Prince/Dinwiddie/Hayes/Gabe took 20 shots and made 11 scoring 31pts DLo took the same 20 shots and made 6 scoring 13 pts

Jokic is a legend!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Spoiler alert: The LA Refs will try everything in their power to make the LA Lakers win the series, but it won't be enough.

Reminder: Garbage Arenas said Jokic is the worst MVP winner in the last 40 yrs, let that very stupid take sink in 🤣

The commentators praising LeBron the whole time instead of saying how he was getting exposed In this game, again

Man the Nuggets really the goat team for beating this nasty Lakers x free throws duo

Lebron with 3 attempts and 2 pts in the 4th. Those were in the last 2 min when the game was over. Can’t go out like that man

Gordon : 6 OREB Lakers : 6 OREB

Fouls: denver 20 lakers 15 Free throws: denver 6 lakers 19 Let that sink in

Bruh, the refs calling 8:28 a foul ☠

Same happened vs new Orleans. New Orleans had double the paint points and half the free throws.

Another absolutely ridiculous free throw differential for the Lakers. People saying we're going to miss Bron when he retires, absolutely not. Maybe when he does the Lakers won't get this ridiculous ref bias.

That Denver offense is so good that it can overcome any adversity with no problem. Probably even better than the current Golden State offense with Curry and Thompson.

Refs trying their damndest... 18-6 is unacceptable

Without refs help Lakers would be blown out every game against the Nuggets

LeFlop signature move... Walkout.. 😂😂😂

The amount of defensive breakdowns by the Lakers in this game is mind-boggling 🤯

Dlo's career is on the line in this series, he better stand up in the upcoming games

Referees did their best L.A. Lakers 19 free throws (17/19) Denver Nuggets 6 free throws (5/6) +12 Lakers and they still got smoked

Feels like Denver are even getting out of third gear, I’m not sure if anyone can stop them this season. Back to back champions looks on

Guys, I couldn't believe it, Davies didn't touch anyone and he still gets a free throw. It's a shame what the referees are doing here, not a foul from the Lakers in the whole second half 🤣😂

Instead of playing defense, LBJ complains as Denver scores another basket 😂

Nuggets are nonchalant they just go out on the court and win the games when they are behind, they don’t panic. anyways Jokic cooking those boys as usual and people really thought the Lakers have a chance winning this series 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

9:21 lol the king of flops does it again with a signature walkout

With 13 more free throws, Lakers still lose 11 points…wow…

8:26 HOW to get foul😬

Lakers 19 FTs Denver 6 FTs LeBlaco exposed again..

Jokic once against showing why he's the mvp

Again the media is gonna be:"a very competitive 4-game series"🤣🤣🤣

And they say LBJ can guard all 5 positions....Joker doesn't think so.....

Are they ever going to call foul on AD? He mugged Jokic around the hip several times.

D. Lo, The Klay of LAL.

Noticed something about the game tonight, LBJ when he made his drive to the basket and fell, there was almost a realization that he was old and the game had moved on, call it an epiphany, there are new dogs in this game and I can't stay with them no more, lets enjoy whatever career is left for one of the truly great NBA players, all good things come to an end eventually 😢

Nikola is father of Lakers

Lakers wins the 1st game of the series: 19FT - 6FT. The streak is on!!!

Man that Joker dunk on LJ haha 😅 🔥

7:37 Lebron lookin like I'm finished and Anthony Mr Glass Davis just out there looking like he playing 21 in the back Yard 🤣🤣🤣

Nuggets simply outclassed the lakers. They are still the favourite for champ.

Bron missed a bunny, then got pushed and dunked on by Jokic, then fell on his ass trying to drive to the cup What a sequence ❤

When Jokic pressed R2 for a dunk, you know it's over coz he is determined to crush the Lakers. Both AD and Lebron did not over reacted too much when got hit in the face and had a hard fall, I give them credits already haha

Letting go of McGee and Howard was like losing a Kryptonite against a battle of Superman🤷🏻‍♂️McGee and Howard was the Jokic stopper and what the Lakers needed rn💯

The Nuggets toyed with them for a couple of quarters, let the Lakers think they had a chance to win....then pounced on them in the second half 🤣

LBJ doesn't really care about winning basketball games for a long time. Stats and so called legacy are what he's egging for.

I mean what can you say about the team, KCP is sniping from 3, Gordon being a bully in the board, Murray showing us Allen Iverson like grit with those flashy plays, ad Jokic reminding them he is an all around guy - the clutch 3, the alleyoop to murray, the steal, the post and mid range floater

19-6 FT disparity in favor of the Lakers despite Denver having way more points in the paint. Surprise, surprise.

LeFraud with another stellar choke job.

James got posterise by jokic. 😂

The highlights on this RU-vid channel are the best. Thanks!

9:14 That push by Jokic before the poster 😂

Gotta love how the refs don't mind to delay an inbound when LeBalco is on the ground. Where in the rules book does it say Nuggets couldn't quickly inbound there and get their offense going? That's right... NOWHERE.

8:28 Didn’t realise Casper the ghost was a Denver nuggets player🤭. 19-6 FTs

playoff dlo activated for the lakers

The fact Denver is sponsored by Jordan's brand makes it even better

Skip Bayless bout to have a field day on lebron 4th qtr tomorrow 😂😂😂

6 free throws to 19 is crazzzyyy

Dlo back in playoff shape!!

Gonna be a sweep , respect to bron first half he was amazing , thats the one they needed to steal. Well hopefully luka vs joker series gonna be epic.

FT differential 19 for Lakers... doesn't seem that much, right? well, Nuggets had SIX and ZERO IN SECOND HALF! 😆😆🤨🤨
