'SCORE MORE & PRAY!' 🙏 Is that the Lakers' only answer for Nikola Jokic?! | NBA Today 

Nba today turns into a lakers fan club come playoff time

there is literally nothing you can do to stop jokic, nobody in the league can guard him

I have said this 1000 times, you CANT STOP Joker. In 9 straight games Gordan, KCP, MPJ beat them

Thank you Malika for finally getting it right. Altitude tv and radio host called the Nuggets the "lakers daddy." Not michael malone.

If you bet on the Lakers to win this series, you basically lit your money on fire.

It's not about stopping Jokic. He's going to get His just like A.D. and LeBron will get theirs. You have to stop Denver other starting 4.

Bron and AD maxed out doesnt matter what they do, I'm starting to believe Joker should be in the discussion in the top 3 centers of all time. The way this dude control the game is insane.

Three of the Nuggets starters had a double-double in game one. Nuggets are unstoppable

5 people on this table, and none of them made a valid point. They are all repeating the same answer.😂

Yo the Media and NBA want the lakers to win SOOO BAD 😂

Lakers 19FTA Denver 6 FTA Lebron still got spanked by 11.

There’s a reason why Jokic’s teammates play better than Lebron and AD’s teammates.

Cant wait till the Lakers get their butts swept, so we don't have hear about them anymore on ESPN

Literally NOBODY said this would be a CoMPeTiTiVe series

The lakers should have signed Dwight Howard and kept him on the roster.

Thank you RJ

current nikola jokic is giving prime kendrick perkins 55 pts on 100% shooting so why he harping on AD…and ima warriors fan 😭

Reporter: Lebron what kind of parental role does Nikola Jokic play in your life? Lebron: He’s my daddy ..

Perk actually speaking facts about the bucks pacers series. Bucks seriously getting slept on by the media.

4:41 lol

People actually think Lakers had a shot to being with? This isn't Lakers hate, it's just facts. Lakers were never contenders with that poorly constructed roster while the Nuggets reached their full potential and are the favorites to win it all. Even Chuck and Shaq said it, Lakers playing poor had nothing to do with D-Lo and reaves shooting bad in Game 1. They just can't keep up with the Nuggets. Period.

The Lakers are toast. No answer not only to Jokic but for the whole Nuggets team. This team is a solid unit. Excellent chemistry. Everybody knows their role and plays it well too! Meanwhile, Laker support team doesn't seem to know what to do!

nikola is like timmy, dirk, gasol brothers and divac all combined, with cp3 passing, nobody’s beating that, supposed to be 4th time MVP already, 🐐

Nuggets are just bigger, better, stronger, faster, and younger than the Lakers.

*Skip* *Bayless* I agree with Charles of DreamersPro about Skip. Unless Skip has an IQ lower than his shoe size, I don’t believe he thinks Lakers were ever beating the Nuggets. It is a trap. He wants to create these high expectations on the Lakers so when they fail, he can mock LeBron all summer. What 7th seed has ever had expectations that these current Lakers have? If the 7th seed were my Clippers or any other team not named the Lakers, there would be no expectations. But Skip is creating this ditch for LeBron to fall into. Skip calls AD Always Disappointing. Now he’s backing him up? It’s a trap. I personally enjoy it when the media keeps gassing up the Lakers whether they’re 10th, 7th, or wherever. Because the more media talks about the Lakers daily, the higher expectations and the bigger disappointment when they do fail which they’ll often do since it’s impossible to win every single year. Lakers have lost 9 straight to Denver while Jokic and Murray are in the absolute prime of their careers. Can’t these LeBron jocksniffers take a hint? A 7th seed trying to dethrone the reigning champs? But Skip has been picking Lakers over Celtics since preseason. Once the Lakers fail and they will, Skip will keep trashing LeBron. He’s creating a path to trash LeBron by overselling these LA frauds. Even MJ didn’t have the high expectations at age 39 and nobody cared if he failed to make the playoffs. Skip already keeps saying that LeBron has no clutch gene. Then why pick them, Skip? It’s all set up to give Skip free rein to mock LeBron after he fails to win a 5th ring. Eliminate all the potential LeBron excuses. Deep down, Skip doesn’t believe Lakers can beat Denver similar to his delusions with his Cowboys. But those two franchises draws ratings, hence, why Skip talks about them 95% of the time.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooooooooo.

Now y'all said LeBron can guard 1-5 if AD can't guard him why not have the so-called goat guard him ?

Thank you Perc, i dont know why media took pacers to win this series

Jefferson shut up u don’t say that when it’s bron. It’s always he don’t have help, just hating on jokic.

Jokic the M.V.P . Get your broomsticks

Of course they can… not. You’d have to be on drugs to think Jokic is stoppable.

Like I said the lakers messed up with that Westbrook trade they should’ve kept kuzma KCP and CURUSO and then sign derozan cuz bro was begging to play for the lakers he would’ve helped BRON and AD SO MUCH

Let Jokic do all the scoring. He gets tired easily that's why he is a willing passer. It is a Denver tactic to keep him on the floor and still contribute without exerting too much energy. Don't let his teammates touch the ball and score. Keep attacking Jokic in defense. That will also tire him out. And he always tend to get in foul trouble.

Lebron and AD did a lot in Game 1. DLo needs to step up.

If anyone is actually honest with themselves, the lakers aren't winning another ring any time even remotely soon

Lets go lakers,!!! Refs will be with you in homecourt…dont worry we gotchu…Lezgo win with freethrows!!

Laker's can't even win with all those extra freethrows. smh

Lets stop this lakers is underdog no one expect them to beat this team 😅

The key is the excessive 3's by AD need to completely stop. And If D'Angelo 3's aint dropping, pick and roll and put AD in high and low post. Defend hard on other end. Why is no one else realising it was the excessive 3's??? Let that come more naturally, thats a bail out, but not close to enough bail money

It’s the jokic/murray pick and roll that they need to figure out

They need better pg who can shoot and also make space for others to shoot. They could not keep up with the shooting.

Lebron's parlays in game 1 and his 4th quarter play or lack of it was interesting. No assist. one made shot. He stop scoring because of it. Look at the parlay tonight ( game 2 ) and see how aggressive he will be. Lebron for 32 tonight. Book it.

They better have a white van with a sign saying free horses inside

lebron lives in the dustpan, nuggets forever holding the broom

Why is RJ back? I haven’t seen him in a while. I was hoping he was fired. It sucks that he wasn’t.

AD and Lebron looked gassed towards the end of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th the way the Nuggets sprint out on fast breaks it's usually a 5 on 3 with 2 lakers in the backcourt jogging. Another sequence was with Lebron and AD standing right next to Jokic off a KCP missed 3 pointer, Jokic just gives AD a little nug and he's on the ground Lebron is watching Jokic grab the rebound and makes a last ditch effort to try to affect the shot.

COMPETITIVE SWEEP??

Guarantee the lakers are taking this game lmao

Perkins! The OG Jokić hater. LeRefs will give LA a win. Maybe then Perkins will have something interesting to say.

Lakers were done when they won the first play-in

Lakers can't stop Jokic, no team can. They gotta stop one of the other players.

On my way back to Denver right now. $730 to see Lebron for the first time in 22 years of being a fan… worth it for me to go?

the stage is set , the stage is set lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jokic is too powerful. He reminds me of women’s basketball… He’s really not that athletic and is slow and can’t jump, but he has very mighty fundamentals. When his career is over, he probably will be the greatest of all time.

More free throws

Clippers in 5 🎉🏀 4 hall of fame players

DLO needs to step up. N LBJ needs to stop with the turnovers

Lakers need Vanderbilt and Reddish for defense.

"Competitive sweep" is an oxymoron!

Its actually pathetic that AD is dodging the matchup

A. You can't stop the Joker B. The Nuggets may be the most perfectly assembled roster in NBA history C. Lebron is 40 D. AD and Lebron are making 50 and 62 million a year thus their role players simply aren't as good as Denver's Nuggets in fo.

Not too much on my Lakers 😩

If somehow the suns lose this series and don’t even make it to the finals it shows that Kd, Beal and book are soft. End of story !

Bring back those MAMBA Jerseys and maybe just maybe...

Perk is jsut talking about the DPOY nominations.. you’re telling me bam,Rudy, or wemby locked Jokic up? AD deserved to be a finalist

Get Dwight Howard! Fire Ham and Pelinka!

simple to say it this way, Denver their first 5 is just too crafty to their play. There will be few teams be able to beat Denver, Lakers just simply not the answer :) I feel everyone wants Lakers to beat Denver, which isn’t fair to Denver, because they are obviously the better team

7 TO did not help either

Scott Foster bringing the Lakers Zebra squad tonight. Watch.

Gru Jokic owning his LA minions

I hate when these sports guys criticize the players yet they wasn't great players themselves

In order for the lakers to beat Denver, they must allow Yokic to roam free and shut down the other four guys on the court.

Lakers is missing Dwight Howard

Can the lakers beat Gru?

Only one question to ask Lakers? What color mop do you want to use for the meme? Gold or Black?

GET THAT KUD OUT OF THE GAME HE SLEEPING I SAW HIM YESTERDAY YALL

To beat the nuggets you have to let AD and Joker go head to head and don't double him. They gonna cancel each other out in scoring. Put the ball in Reaves and Rui hands early and try to get them in Rhythm and contain Murray. D'Lo has to hit his shots and Average 18-20 ppg. That's the only way Lakers will win

No you cannot stop Nikola Jokić. I want the Lakers to win as much as the next guy but you cannot stop Nikola Jokić all you can for is to make him mess up from time to time and then capitalize those mess ups

Don't mess with gru

The media are talking about the Lakers losing more than Denver winning the game. Denver slaps the Lakers in 5 it could be another sweep. The refs really helping the Lakers with free throws. Giannis or not the Bucks are stills beating the Pacers and it’s going to 7 games. Without Giannis the Bucks still have Dame, playoff Middleton, and Lopez. Healthy Giannis the Bucks would beat the Pacers in 5

No... next question/series Davis will have less than 20 of everything tonight.

#lakers💛💜can beat Denver the rest of the team really needs to step up , and they need to.defend joker better💯

Another episode another day perk pulls stats out of no where saying Davis can’t stop jokic….3/8 when guarding jokic… he just shakes it off and says 0-9 vs him. Just do your research bro

This conversation is useless. The Lakers didn’t lose because of Jokic, they lost because Russell and Reaves shot very poorly! KCP 3’s were the difference in the game. AD was getting buckets on jokic all game lmao

DLo was short on all of his shots.

Ya keep saying Jokic😂 kcp,gordon,mpj, and dlo won the nuggets this game

Didn't Jordan score 35 in the 92 finals in the first half?

Let’s go Lakers 💜💛

Lebron, Durant, Steph era is OVER! Think about how many players can say they never beat Lebron 🤔 Time for new players to take over 😅

Even praying won't work god is on jokic and the nuggets side

Peanut butter sandwich man.

Glazing the nuggets like the lakers weren’t winning for 3 whole quarters

They are sick and tired hearing about the Lakers since they didn't come off a championship 24/7 not talking about the nuggets seems like a slight disrespect to them this is the weather motivated

Competitive Sweep?? LOL

20pt lead was not enough. Lebron don't have the killer instinct like MJ and Kobe. Lebron needs to be a scorer not a passer😶

Tell Unc that the lakers are the weekest 7th seed ever😂

LeESPN crew at it again

Nuggets finna beat them again

I feel like dwight howard could of helped

Perk is just an L Ad isn’t the defensive player of the year. He doesn’t have the stats. He’s not better or more versatile than bam he doesn’t block more shots than gobert and his plus minus isn’t nowhere near Wemby. Just stop it
