While Rui was on Joker, AD was able to camp the paint. They'll live with Gordon shooting threes. I think Rui will start the next game, and don't be surprised if they bring in Tristan in to be physical with Joker. I bet lakers wish they had Dwight Howard just to play defense on Joker.

@@MrHugePlaya Stay thirsty... let's see if Denver will keep making lucky shots will KCP have the game 😂🤣😂🤣 just face it dude Stay thirsty wierdo Miss Huggy Simp👀
Bron shooting 25% from threes in the playoffs and yet he wanted to be the hero and take that three in the clutch 😂 finished with another game with 0 made threes. Why does he even attempt almost 7 threes a game? 😂
Because he is Lebron freaking James, because he has the most playoffs buzzer beater ever, and 3 of them are 3pts shots, that’s as much buzzer beater MJ has overall and because shooters keep shooting, just like Tatum in game 6 after being horrible for more than 3 quarter. Lebron is in a slump but he shot 37% in the 2010 decade, and 40% in 2013, just last season he shot 35% on 8 attempts, basically the same as Doncic 35% on 10 attempts or Harden in the mid 2010’s . I agree it was a bad decision because he had Jamal Murray on him who had 5 fouls but you’re not gonna make every shot, Curry also missed his last 2 vs Davis and Love in 2016 but he is the best shooter ever so nobody care, well Lebron is statistically the most clutch player ever so i don’t care
I’m a huge lebron guy- but that was an AWFUL decision- guarded by Murray, especially when he’s bullied him all game (not to mention Murray had 5 fouls and prob woulda fouled out of bron drove)… just a DUMB decision by lebron
I meant any other team Denver would’ve blown them all out bye 40pts in this one but Eve lakers played all the way through it & they just ran out of time game 2 is set for the lakers too take just need a better start on both ends & score at a high clip
I find it hilarious laker fans are giving Ham credit for putting Rui on Jokic. Doc Rivers was actually the one to put PJ tucker in that role and have embiid be roaming the paint. Tells you how much laker fans know anything lol.
I dont know about mike malone reading off a piece of paper, it made it seem like he was addressing a group of strangers. Also thought it was weird that he called Kentavious Caldwell-Pope "KCP" instead of Kentavious. Kentavious seems way more personal.
I wish I could mash up this coaching staff. Wish ty Lou was there. Ham is a great motivator and spokesperson but line up rotation wise man boy get me tight.
I don’t mind the threes too much but I hate when the lakers try n turn into a jump shooting team. Mix it up, attack the rim,take advantage of mismatches, play to your strengths n advantages. When they do that they can beat anybody, it’s all up to them. Lakers can withstand runs and go on runs themselves especially when they come out ready but can the nuggets play a physical close defensive game with the lakers?? We will see
Come on guys AD couldn’t stop Jokic. Now you guys think Rui will? Yes he had a good 4th quarter but if Jokic is the best player of the world 🌎 he will adjust and eat his cookies.
The adjustment is not Rui guarding Jokic. It's Rui being able to turn Jokic into the teeth of the Lakers defense. That AD can contest Jokic short shots and keep him from scoring easily around the rim
There's going to be a lot of adjustments made in the second game. The Lakers took Denver's best punch and kept coming. Wait until the next game when Denver has to win a low scoring physical game. Golden State couldn't do it and Denver won't either.
Lakers key mistake was starting small ball Jokic was feasting on the boards. We need big men to guard him not AD like Wenyen and Tristan would be crucial even Rui in guarding Jokic
darvin come out immediately? you need to come with a bigger line up immediately. game was lost with that small ball starting 5 you put out there. didnt make an adjustment from warriors to nuggets. but you did better in the second half tho. 123 together
Not just because I'm a Nuggets fan but you only beat them by outscoring them , otherwise you are getting obliterated. Your defense won't do ish to them. Nuggets mean buckets, not so much fancy defense at all, just buckets, the whole team throw buckets. Lakers are screwed.
Yep. When these last few games have gotten close i scream at my TV. ‘Just make your shot!!’ Even if my Nugs are lackluster on D during crunch times, if we can run them out the gym on offense, were alright.
Bron turning up controlling the pace next game aint no 2-0 if they play strong from start to end can't lose must win plus they also undefeated at home they will be ready
Ham need to changed the starting line up,have Vando starting instead of Dennis. Dennis is too small and Vando is just a great defender! Lakers were successful with Vando starting against the Grizzlies and Golden State. Dennis is better coming off the bench!
Mike Malone always keeps it real. I love that he reads the stats and sets a high standard.

Bron shooting 25% from threes in the playoffs and yet he wanted to be the hero and take that three in the clutch 😂 finished with another game with 0 made threes. Why does he even attempt almost 7 threes a game? 😂
Yeah that was the game right there. Big miss.
Because he is Lebron freaking James, because he has the most playoffs buzzer beater ever, and 3 of them are 3pts shots, that’s as much buzzer beater MJ has overall and because shooters keep shooting, just like Tatum in game 6 after being horrible for more than 3 quarter.
Lebron is in a slump but he shot 37% in the 2010 decade, and 40% in 2013, just last season he shot 35% on 8 attempts, basically the same as Doncic 35% on 10 attempts or Harden in the mid 2010’s .
I agree it was a bad decision because he had Jamal Murray on him who had 5 fouls but you’re not gonna make every shot, Curry also missed his last 2 vs Davis and Love in 2016 but he is the best shooter ever so nobody care, well Lebron is statistically the most clutch player ever so i don’t care
He's 18% for the season. 2nd worst lol
Blah blah blah 🤡
I’m a huge lebron guy- but that was an AWFUL decision- guarded by Murray, especially when he’s bullied him all game (not to mention Murray had 5 fouls and prob woulda fouled out of bron drove)… just a DUMB decision by lebron
Wow. Kcp got the flavor flave chain.
ham your avg job coach 😂😂
Coach Ham is a great coach he can make better adjustment in game 2..
Michael Malone is a Michael de Santa / Ned Luke imposter
I meant any other team Denver would’ve blown them all out bye 40pts in this one but Eve lakers played all the way through it & they just ran out of time game 2 is set for the lakers too take just need a better start on both ends & score at a high clip
Lakers fans coping so hard thinking they found the secret to guarding joker, AD dropped 40 points and y'all still couldn't win lmao, Denver in 6
I find it hilarious laker fans are giving Ham credit for putting Rui on Jokic. Doc Rivers was actually the one to put PJ tucker in that role and have embiid be roaming the paint. Tells you how much laker fans know anything lol.
"They laugh at me becoz im different, i laugh at them becoz theyre all the same" - The Joker Nikola Jokic
I dont know about mike malone reading off a piece of paper, it made it seem like he was addressing a group of strangers. Also thought it was weird that he called Kentavious Caldwell-Pope "KCP" instead of Kentavious. Kentavious seems way more personal.
Lmfao 😅
You go coach the Nuggets
What????? This is normal for them. What a weird take…
Malone is his freaking coach, spends a lot of time with the guy. Do you think his Mom or Dad are calling him "KCP" ?@@brybry8685

😂😂🤣😭
Russ would’ve said don’t worry guys aslong as we had fun doesn’t matter win lose or draw
I wish I could mash up this coaching staff. Wish ty Lou was there. Ham is a great motivator and spokesperson but line up rotation wise man boy get me tight.
I don’t mind the threes too much but I hate when the lakers try n turn into a jump shooting team. Mix it up, attack the rim,take advantage of mismatches, play to your strengths n advantages. When they do that they can beat anybody, it’s all up to them. Lakers can withstand runs and go on runs themselves especially when they come out ready but can the nuggets play a physical close defensive game with the lakers?? We will see
Come on guys AD couldn’t stop Jokic. Now you guys think Rui will? Yes he had a good 4th quarter but if Jokic is the best player of the world 🌎 he will adjust and eat his cookies.
The adjustment is not Rui guarding Jokic. It's Rui being able to turn Jokic into the teeth of the Lakers defense. That AD can contest Jokic short shots and keep him from scoring easily around the rim
@@bigdogfromnjthat won’t work joker passing is amazing
There's going to be a lot of adjustments made in the second game. The Lakers took Denver's best punch and kept coming. Wait until the next game when Denver has to win a low scoring physical game. Golden State couldn't do it and Denver won't either.
@@bigdogfromnj them adjustments never work lmao
I LOVE ham but he keep running that Dlo and Dennis combo in the starting lineup and it never works, One needs to come off the bench man
Lakers key mistake was starting small ball Jokic was feasting on the boards. We need big men to guard him not AD like Wenyen and Tristan would be crucial even Rui in guarding Jokic
darvin come out immediately? you need to come with a bigger line up immediately. game was lost with that small ball starting 5 you put out there. didnt make an adjustment from warriors to nuggets. but you did better in the second half tho. 123 together
If they are playing Russell as a starter next game, they are done
Coming back after g2 to mark my words
Pretty sure Ham messed up playing AR-Schroder-Dlo together vs. the Denver. Once they changed that lineup is was all good for the Lakers LOL.
Ham you’ve got to start Vanderbilt had you did that nuggets wouldn’t have started off so hot
Nah Rui
Ya do know Vanderbilt used to be with nuggets?. Couldn’t get any playing time!!
Lakers Will Win❤️🔥
Lebron sold trying to play hero ball
How ? The pass in the paint that he received after posting up was horrible which caused the steal 💀 watch the game instead of highlights
@@juniorbeastyt wrong play brody
Together we cab book cancun now
Thursday is going to be interesting people, if lakers win then there figured something out, if they don't then I can bet on Nuggets winning the series
Not just because I'm a Nuggets fan but you only beat them by outscoring them , otherwise you are getting obliterated. Your defense won't do ish to them. Nuggets mean buckets, not so much fancy defense at all, just buckets, the whole team throw buckets. Lakers are screwed.
Yep. When these last few games have gotten close i scream at my TV. ‘Just make your shot!!’ Even if my Nugs are lackluster on D during crunch times, if we can run them out the gym on offense, were alright.
Tristan...
Bron turning up controlling the pace next game aint no 2-0 if they play strong from start to end can't lose must win plus they also undefeated at home they will be ready
Denver are like thjs all seaso, they start strong and weigh off after. So if you keep boot to boot from start you ll win the game
Ham need to changed the starting line up,have Vando starting instead of Dennis.
Dennis is too small and Vando is just a great defender!
Lakers were successful with Vando starting against the Grizzlies and Golden State. Dennis is better coming off the bench!
Someone's cooking some bacon and eggs in that Lakers locker room
Nuggets In 7...😊
