@@xerospades Larry O'Brien Or Bust (LOBOB). The Larry O'Brien trophy is the NBA Finals Championship trophy so Brou is saying that the Lakers team was created for a championship or nothing.
The game was 90-94 with 8 min left in the 4th Q when they pulled out Bron for minute restriction and that was a perfect time and game for AD to show he is ready to take the torch but he just doesn’t have that mentality
The lakers have a ton of issues against this team in particular. I actually think they’ll be fine against any other team. Darvin Ham doesn’t have the savviness to get them past the size of Denver. Once again, if AD doesn’t play the 4 against this team they don’t have a chance.
@@Tdouble-y4b^^^^^ THISS i know everyone says we play best with AD at the 5 but that's not the case against EVERY team. We won the title with AD playing at the 4 all season with the exception of a few teams when we had to go small. When he had to play the 5 he was well rested because he was at the 4 the majority of the season.
I really don't think it's a mentality issue, it's a health issue, if he pushed 100% like the top guys do his body would fall apart, he can barely stay healthy playing as is. He's not a lazy dude he doesn't come out of training camp overweight like some dudes, his body just isn't durable.
Nick apologizing and straight up admitting he was wrong about Jokic is why this show is different from most modern day sports talk shows. They take accountability for their takes without trying to gaslight, twist and change what they said, or move the goal posts like Skip Bayless with LeBron. They admit they were wrong and have great laughs about it. Respect to Nick Wright.
Take accountability? Nick is only admitting to what is undeniable. That Jokic is an all-time great. He is still trying to equate Jokic and Giannis playoff resumes. Despite the fact that Jokic was without Murray and was playing alongside guys who were out of the NBA a year later. Meanwhile Giannis is hot potatoing the ball in the first round against the 8th seed despite being surrounded by All Stars and DPOY candidates.
@@h98986 To be fair, Giannis's resume is still slightly better than Jokic's, thanks to his Defensive Player of the Year award, even though Jokic is clearly the best player in the league these days. Wright lives in the past when evaluating Giannis, whose best years are probably behind him. This is annoying, but at least he respects Jokic as one of the two best players in the league at this point.
How is straight out lying to justify himself taking accountability? Jokic has only been eliminated in the first round once, and it was not questionable, both Murray and MPJ missed that series against the eventual NBA champions. His take on Jokic's first MVP made 0 sense even at the time of the discussion. Seeing the inevitable of him winning a championship makes it so much worst. If he really wanted to take accountability he would just say he's wrong with no qualifiers and move on.
most normal people would stop shooting so much after they miss 6 times in a row like AD did. not everyone has the weird confidence to keep shooting and go 3-19 like klay thompson and single handedly push your own team out of the playoffs.
James Murray, Hey @chazzyPhizzle1, THEY ARE THE BEST 2--TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE, SO YOU COULD VERY WELL GET YOUR WISH WHEN IT,S ALL SAID AND DONE, WOW IT WOULD BE A VERY HIGHLY CONTESTED 50--50--N.B.A CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.
The lore of this show grows by every passing season. By-laws, committee's, SBOB, LOBOB, Ryan and Brian, banners, bugle boys, tiers, pyramids, ladders. So many things that have grown with this group of guys, and long-term viewers are rewarded as a result.
Its not really that tho, i shared the same sense with Nick, "look, hes great, but WIN the CHIP first, and THEN you get the flowers" so everyone slamming us saying he had to prove it and then proves it and its like AHH see you idiots! like..relax guys
I would still take AD over DH. Dwight Howard along with Westbrook is one of the lowest IQ basketball players of all time. He picks up fouls or gets thrown out of games at the absolute worst times. Kobe couldn't stand Dwight for the same reasons, he's low IQ.
Jokić isn’t fighting for the “best player in the NBA” designation. Jokić is looking for the next smartest pass - or, reluctantly, the smartest shot if he happens to have it - to help his team get the win that night. Jokić doesn’t care about the sports media conversations or the stat sheet. To me, that is exactly why he’s the best player in the league. Jokić gets the whole team involved. You can’t just beat Jokić; you have to beat the whole team. If you “stop” Jokić, it only pulls in the defense, which Jokić wants anyway so he can surgically pass to the open man in the best position to score. There are no good answers to Jokić.
Exactly. He didn't average a triple-double by 0.1% assists, or whatever, because he couldn't be arsed to get back in games to pad his numbers... the opposite of Perkins' take. If basketball had a rule (like rugby), where teams get extra points/win % from a game, if a player scored 30, he would average 32. But it doesn't, so his team doesn't benefit... and he doesn't do it.
Oh yes American analysis from analysts who never played classic team basketball at a high level. The American game is inferior to the international game which is a throwback to the classic game. Classic team basketball team will beat the NBA's Street ball (one-on-one basketball) every time. Look at how much the nuggets cut back door and how often they run that pick and roll and or give and go. The rotation from ball side to weak side on the perimeter happens every time it's open. But without Jokic they would revert to American style. The difference between American and international ball is so obvious to the rest of the world that many people in Europe think that they invented pick-and-roll, backdoor baseline cuts and give and go. You think I'm full of it then take a look at how well we've done in the world championships the last two times. It wouldn't shock me to see us get beat by Slovenia with 10 million people in the next Olympics.
everyone talking about AD low motor, but lebron only scored 21. thats his lowest scoring game 1 in the last 15 years. and it sounds like they had this game underlined and were motivated to win it. the man is getting old.
@@valjohnson7112 Well that's exactly it,Lebron is in I believe year 20. AD has no excuse to look exhausted In game 1. This man makes over 60 million a year and that's the best he can give in return? Smh
@@valjohnson7112 Lebron played less than 30 minutes. Lebron passed the torch to AD but AD don't want to hold that torch. Lebron is playing very well for his age, this is not Lebron's fault and I am not a Lebron fan.
He runs their entire defense. He's always yelling other teams plays out and where everyone needs to be in position he's such a smart player. I wish people would recognize his defense more. He ain't no rim protector but he's one of the best paint defenders in the leauge. He just looks slow so everyone thinks he's bad lol
I feel like people think that because a couple times a game he'll give up a layup without much contest, however he does that to stay out of foul trouble which is the smart thing to do considering he's maybe the best offensive player of all time and it's important for him to stay in the ballgame.
@@mattbedrosian5298lol, I just posted a comment proclaiming him to be, maybe, the best offensive player ever & I feared I was going on a limb. People always talk about "bags", but he has a truck!
The problem with nicks criticism of joker is that he was winning mvps and being treated like a legend without winning. But he failed to realize that every other legend goes through that. Unless youre magic or duncan, you dont win in your first seasons. Lebron was already a legend, won mvps but didnt win a chip until he was 28. Thats normal, and thats exactly what happened to joker. Once lebron and joker got good teams, they won. When jordan got a good team, he won. When giannis team switched bledsoe with holiday and added a few more pieces, he won.
It didn't help Nick's case that he LITERALLY said that the Nuggets, in previous years, "weren't a healthy Jamal Murray & Michael Porter Jr. away from a championship". Plus, he finally admitted to the "non-all time great", "only Top-7 in the league" slander.
The media is gassing this trash talk narrative. AD got answered a question about Denver and just said he heard them talking and we can’t wait.. how is that trash talk?
Brou is 1000000% right here, talking about it is one thing but he didn't SHOW it. And Nick already thinking about shopping AD after THE FIRST GAME is hilarious
Did they not get better from all star til finals. It’s game 1, especially playing a team that beat you last year, they’ll settle down as the year goes on
You know what could really help A.D? He should (on the daily) watch tape of the up and under moves of Duncan, Hakeem and Kevin McHale with Boston. He will get to the line more, and better looks at rim.
Westbrook averaged 3 straight seasons of triple doubles. What is insane about 100 triple doubles in 600 games 😂. I bet u are gonna say Russ’ triple doubles don’t matter and he was stat padding 😂
@@cygriffin83i mean ye pretty obvious that russ padded his triple doubles it gets more obvious if you look at his playoffs triple double where he only got 12 meanwhile jokic already surpassed his playoff triple doubles and is already on pace to surpass the alltime triple double record so keep coping
I don't understand. Why are we all of a sudden acting like LeBron has taken this massive step back. Outside of getting banged up, he's still a top 5 player on consistency alone.
@DeeRG sports media. People who up until a year ago were still riding with LeBron. Now, Bru mentions his age and says "no disrespect" when referring to him being the best player on his team. Like yeah, he'd be the best player on ALMOST every other team as well.
Major respect to Nick for admitting when he was wrong about something in regards to Jokic. Plenty of others in sports media would never admit they were wrong, and would just make excuses like Skip.
Balanced in all seriousness. Jokic is the outlander. And LeBron in actuality is the other. I believe 90-94 before, LeBron was benched. Anthony Davis should've taken over the game. Realistically, they're balanced. Credit to the champs aswell.
Since every team in the league has caused AD to have spurts like that I'd say it was nothing to do with Nuggets and just the fact that's how AD is. Nuggets are easily the better team and were going to win no matter what, but they don't have to be the Nuggets for AD to have a shut out half.
I'd rather have AD in the playoffs than Embiid in the playoffs. I've seen enough of Embiid choking and then saying he can't do himself in the playoffs off of embarrassing losses.
Fun fact the lakers only play the nuggets once this season. Only way they will play each other again would be if they both get to the playoffs. No other team has a player like jokic, he has a 3 triple double and his teammates made their shots. I really don’t see another team out there like the nuggets. So it’s a big chance the lakers can look good all the up to the playoffs. If they make any trades it could be the key for a championship. Go lakers !!!
so the Lakers get better by trading a player that SOMETIMES shows up in the playoffs for someone that NEVER shows up in the playoffs. As a Nuggets fan I endorse this idea
Jokic completely destroyed any credibility Nick has when it comes to basketball takes. It’s impossible to take him seriously when he rates Luka as a top 20 player of the last 50 years and then claims his blatant disrespect of Jokic is just “holding him to the standard” that great players are evaluated by.
He said that before jokic won the title last year after everyone saying he should’ve 3 peated the mvp. All anyone said was that jokic had to prove it in the playoffs which he did, he’s gotten his credit
All they said was he had to prove himself with a title? There are 100s of videos showing all the hate he got. It wasn’t just he needs to prove himself.
@@rlh12345 yeah he was hating on him until he proved that he could play with the same style and win in the playoffs lmao. Jokic is the best or 2nd best player in the league at worst, people need to stop acting like Denver are getting disrespected still
I’m surprised nobody is talking about the no foul calls on Lebron James when he driving the ball. It has been going on the last 3-4 years. He shot 0 FT first half even though he was driving the ball to the rim. Murry and Jokich were getting every call.
If Lakers sign Dwight Howard they will beat Denver he's the only one who can take the deep post from jokic Dwight forces jokic to play a finesse game instead of just pounding the inside and snatching rebounds
Hey people, just so you know THERE ARE 29 more teams in the NBA. Why you continue talking about Lexcuse and the fakers? Bucks won a ring, but news were grandpa James wants to play after not even get into PO, Nuggets win a ring but yet you keep talking about how James needed more help after being SWEPT by the nuggets, Jokic MVP and FMVP and again you continue talking about geriatric James and the most overrated team ever. So when are you going to talk about the rest of the league? This is the NBA not just the fakers and the MOOAT (Most overrated of all time) everyone knows James is done, AD is a bust and the rest of the fakers are a circus just like the rest of the league... It is very correct to assume that you are getting paid to talk about LeFlop and his team. So no NBA?
LeBron and Steph get the worst whistles from the officials. Both of them are the league's leading superstars but they almost never get the foul calls they should
@@andrewcook1246 no need to be pressed but u tryna act like the teams are evenly matched using series from like 3 to 4 years ago is indirectly admitting the lakers are no where near current nuggets so you gotta bring accomplishments from the past to compensate for their failures against the nuggets😅 last 6 matches between them were 6:0 for nuggets they right now owning ur franchise but keep coping!
Lakers can’t build chemistry turning over their roster every season and trade deadline. To move AD for Embid would be a great move but again they would be dealing with continuity trying to go against the Nuggets in the playoffs.
Lol dude they had the best record and defense after the trade deadline. Denver just has there number rn. Y’all acting like Denver not the best team in the league and it’s only 1 game relax.
@@intothefrayyo my point exactly. Continuity is what the Lakers lacked last year and Nick in proposing a trade that will just further that issue. It’s not a solution.
@@intothefrayyoyou can’t read? I literally just said that. My argument is y’all are overreacting acting like Denver isn’t the best team in the league when they clearly are.
Thanks Brou!!! Pointing out AD’s aggression. The refs swallowed their whistle when Jokic got his second foul because there’s an agenda. LeBron also got fouled on 2 of his layups and should’ve had more And1’s
It's easy saying that when Jokic and embiid is not playing with a ball dominant player in LeBron James....AD was never this type of player in New Orleans...
Lmao, AD was never this type of player in NO?!?! Lmao You clearly don’t watch (he’s always been injury prone) , in this game Lebron’s minutes were reduced and LBJ is always a pass first type player while AD was absent when LBJ wasn’t on the floor. Without AR, Gabe’s, LBJ, or Princes play, the game would have been a lot worse for his lack of aggressiveness. He has not been aggressive and still to this day doesn’t like playing center. If he actually did and focused on post up play he would not be such an up & down player like he is.
We've all known who AD is and who AD isn't for years now, but we keep having this same convo every year. We should've traded him last year when he went on that tear. That's when his value was at its peak
Jovic is special he can score, can pass the ball and rebound ad can score, rebound and block shots and when had a second half like that you shake your head
Imo I think you only get the best version of AD when LBJ or a pass-first pg like rondo/cp3 is running point. Ad needs to be set up and have plays ran for/through him. With Dlo out there AD kind of just roams and fits in.
the problem is there is no flow in the offense , barely any play calls , alot of iso and 2 man game .. ad also needs to be assertive and the defense needs to be assertive and aggressive. they let the nuggets be too comfortable

I could see that as well, it would be a great finals against hopefully fully healthy teams
You know what could really help A.D? He should (on the daily) watch tape of the up and under moves of Duncan, Hakeem and Kevin McHale with Boston. He will get to the line more, and better looks at rim.
over 100 triple doubles in 600 games is insane
Westbrook averaged 3 straight seasons of triple doubles. What is insane about 100 triple doubles in 600 games 😂.
I bet u are gonna say Russ’ triple doubles don’t matter and he was stat padding 😂
@@cygriffin83i mean ye pretty obvious that russ padded his triple doubles it gets more obvious if you look at his playoffs triple double where he only got 12 meanwhile jokic already surpassed his playoff triple doubles and is already on pace to surpass the alltime triple double record so keep coping
Broussard's Brilliant; amazing take on this AD issue; everyone else in the media has just been totally ripping him.
This was brilliant sports tv, I really appreciate the intelligence, banter, fun while being down to earth. Thank you gentlemen, kudos!
This show is one of the few bright spots in my life ❤
These are definitely fake account posting
Kevin Wildes is the best personality on sports TV😂
I don't understand. Why are we all of a sudden acting like LeBron has taken this massive step back. Outside of getting banged up, he's still a top 5 player on consistency alone.
@DeeRG sports media. People who up until a year ago were still riding with LeBron. Now, Bru mentions his age and says "no disrespect" when referring to him being the best player on his team. Like yeah, he'd be the best player on ALMOST every other team as well.
I dont even watch the NBA, but Im here for these 3 guys lol Thats how good this show is
It's good to see Lakers limited Joker to another 25+ pts Triple Double. Just like they did in last play off when they figured him.
Major respect to Nick for admitting when he was wrong about something in regards to Jokic. Plenty of others in sports media would never admit they were wrong, and would just make excuses like Skip.
This whole " Lakers got better in the offseason and the Nuggets got worse " didn't age well.
Balanced in all seriousness. Jokic is the outlander. And LeBron in actuality is the other.
I believe 90-94 before, LeBron was benched. Anthony Davis should've taken over the game.
Realistically, they're balanced. Credit to the champs aswell.
Yea when gabe vincent was traded there i know for sure he will go badly there just like malik beasley
Great video, thanks for uploading it ik length
If AD gave Lakers anything in the second half , Lakers probably win
And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Lakers 5 and 0 in moral victories
If AD and D’Lo played to there standards, just their season averages which is is crazy
Facts
@@CriusXII’m convinced dlo doesn’t understand basketball
I truly enjoy watching this show. I reminded certain segments like 5 times. Thank you guys.
So for Lebum to win the championship he needs an MVP teammate? And people still think he's the goat? Delusional
Title of the segment "Time Nick officially apologizes to the Joker?" got me good 😆
Did the nuggets do anything to win this game or was it all on AD? 😭
Since every team in the league has caused AD to have spurts like that I'd say it was nothing to do with Nuggets and just the fact that's how AD is. Nuggets are easily the better team and were going to win no matter what, but they don't have to be the Nuggets for AD to have a shut out half.
Nuggets are too good and Davis is always a no show when it matters the most 😢
Considering the fact Joker puts up a 30 point triple double vs everybody, AD is irrelevant to the equation.
AD just became a regular NBA player.. we all need to accept this.
AD is just not a dog. He’s a puppy 🐶.
I'd rather have AD in the playoffs than Embiid in the playoffs. I've seen enough of Embiid choking and then saying he can't do himself in the playoffs off of embarrassing losses.
Fun fact the lakers only play the nuggets once this season. Only way they will play each other again would be if they both get to the playoffs. No other team has a player like jokic, he has a 3 triple double and his teammates made their shots. I really don’t see another team out there like the nuggets. So it’s a big chance the lakers can look good all the up to the playoffs. If they make any trades it could be the key for a championship. Go lakers !!!
They literally play again in February
They play 3 times. Once in February and once in March
That last bottom line graphic was like something from Parks and Rec 😂
so the Lakers get better by trading a player that SOMETIMES shows up in the playoffs for someone that NEVER shows up in the playoffs. As a Nuggets fan I endorse this idea
Yep, let them all get worse trying to beat the Nuggets.
CAP
@@itiswhatitis263 Embiitch stays choking.
@@DJezdic The massive pressure that Embiid would receive if he joined the Lakers would be too much for him, he would choke 100% in the playoffs
Look at what Portland got for Lillard. There's no way if I'm Philly I'd take A.D. for Embiid. The guy was just the MVP 😂
Jokic completely destroyed any credibility Nick has when it comes to basketball takes. It’s impossible to take him seriously when he rates Luka as a top 20 player of the last 50 years and then claims his blatant disrespect of Jokic is just “holding him to the standard” that great players are evaluated by.
He said that before jokic won the title last year after everyone saying he should’ve 3 peated the mvp. All anyone said was that jokic had to prove it in the playoffs which he did, he’s gotten his credit
All they said was he had to prove himself with a title? There are 100s of videos showing all the hate he got. It wasn’t just he needs to prove himself.
Nick has been giving jokic his credit for a while now. You Denver fans are ridiculous
Who cares bro.
@@rlh12345 yeah he was hating on him until he proved that he could play with the same style and win in the playoffs lmao. Jokic is the best or 2nd best player in the league at worst, people need to stop acting like Denver are getting disrespected still
Bro. You can hear the producer laugh at Brought. That is hilarious
I’m surprised nobody is talking about the no foul calls on Lebron James when he driving the ball. It has been going on the last 3-4 years. He shot 0 FT first half even though he was driving the ball to the rim. Murry and Jokich were getting every call.
cry to your momma
Refs where horrible last night
home court advantage for a reason lol
Boo hoo 😂
Bro jokic gets fouled every play, y’all stay complaining about everything 😂
Mans brought out accoutrement lol must have bet someone that he could get that word in the segment
If Lakers sign Dwight Howard they will beat Denver he's the only one who can take the deep post from jokic Dwight forces jokic to play a finesse game instead of just pounding the inside and snatching rebounds
I love these must win sneaks 😂😂 Wildes Never change please
Hey people, just so you know THERE ARE 29 more teams in the NBA. Why you continue talking about Lexcuse and the fakers? Bucks won a ring, but news were grandpa James wants to play after not even get into PO, Nuggets win a ring but yet you keep talking about how James needed more help after being SWEPT by the nuggets, Jokic MVP and FMVP and again you continue talking about geriatric James and the most overrated team ever. So when are you going to talk about the rest of the league? This is the NBA not just the fakers and the MOOAT (Most overrated of all time) everyone knows James is done, AD is a bust and the rest of the fakers are a circus just like the rest of the league... It is very correct to assume that you are getting paid to talk about LeFlop and his team. So no NBA?
The chemistry between these guys is amazing.
LeBron and Steph get the worst whistles from the officials. Both of them are the league's leading superstars but they almost never get the foul calls they should
it's an agenda to get the new gen players numbers higher
Wildes being the wingman of our lifetimes with the "He's right" after Brou threw out LOBOB like it is well known lol
That’s six straight wins for the Nuggets over the Lakers.
Far as I'n concerced its 1-1. Each beating the other en route to a chip
@@andrewcook1246u coping
@@kazuiyah Did they not beat them in 2020? Yeah, so chill out. Bron was also hurt so again, chill out.
@@andrewcook1246 no need to be pressed but u tryna act like the teams are evenly matched using series from like 3 to 4 years ago is indirectly admitting the lakers are no where near current nuggets so you gotta bring accomplishments from the past to compensate for their failures against the nuggets😅 last 6 matches between them were 6:0 for nuggets they right now owning ur franchise but keep coping!
Thanks for that Nick Wright, i was hoping you would come around with Jokic.
Lakers can’t build chemistry turning over their roster every season and trade deadline. To move AD for Embid would be a great move but again they would be dealing with continuity trying to go against the Nuggets in the playoffs.
Lol dude they had the best record and defense after the trade deadline. Denver just has there number rn. Y’all acting like Denver not the best team in the league and it’s only 1 game relax.
Lakers are cooked
@@Redclxxd What? Dude, the Nuggets are the defending champs with continuity.. until proven otherwise, they are the best team in the league 🤣
@@intothefrayyo my point exactly. Continuity is what the Lakers lacked last year and Nick in proposing a trade that will just further that issue. It’s not a solution.
@@intothefrayyoyou can’t read? I literally just said that. My argument is y’all are overreacting acting like Denver isn’t the best team in the league when they clearly are.
"Brow Raising"
That's great. 😂
When ppl realize AD is more Khris Middleton than Giannis, they will no longer be disappointed.
Everyone is blaming AD, but Lakers are outsized back court. Murray was cooking them when guarded by DLo or Reeves
Thanks Brou!!! Pointing out AD’s aggression. The refs swallowed their whistle when Jokic got his second foul because there’s an agenda. LeBron also got fouled on 2 of his layups and should’ve had more And1’s
Ur delusional
By far the best chemistry on tv!
10:14
LoBOB team? 😂😂😂😂 the dude laughing in the back says it all
It's easy saying that when Jokic and embiid is not playing with a ball dominant player in LeBron James....AD was never this type of player in New Orleans...
he wasnt any type of player in NO. Street Clothes Davis 😊
AD is just soft, you can't change that.
Lmao, AD was never this type of player in NO?!?! Lmao You clearly don’t watch (he’s always been injury prone) , in this game Lebron’s minutes were reduced and LBJ is always a pass first type player while AD was absent when LBJ wasn’t on the floor. Without AR, Gabe’s, LBJ, or Princes play, the game would have been a lot worse for his lack of aggressiveness. He has not been aggressive and still to this day doesn’t like playing center. If he actually did and focused on post up play he would not be such an up & down player like he is.
@@the1337contrarian Being Lebron's second star isn't for every player. Took a toll on Love and Bosh, and AD is in the middle of it
@@SilverRpr Can you name another "pass first" player that averages more Fga per game than kobe ?
The animation between the crew is off the chain luv it!
Where are there season predictions?
Nobody:
Wildes: “Thank You”
We've all known who AD is and who AD isn't for years now, but we keep having this same convo every year. We should've traded him last year when he went on that tear. That's when his value was at its peak
Exactly- I would go even further and say they should have traded him right after winning the championship.
AD for Embiid would be something.
They act like we ain’t beat Denver to get that championship in the bubble AD embarrassing jokic happened already
Jovic is special he can score, can pass the ball and rebound ad can score, rebound and block shots and when had a second half like that you shake your head
Nick : Its Game 1 ….
Wilds : Thank you 😂😂😂
Love that Nicholas Cage look you reppin Nick💯😅
Imo I think you only get the best version of AD when LBJ or a pass-first pg like rondo/cp3 is running point. Ad needs to be set up and have plays ran for/through him. With Dlo out there AD kind of just roams and fits in.
Don't y'all get tired of going over this topic? He is what he is. Been that way for bout 4 seasons now stop expecting more from AD.
I will wait to judge the season
One game in and they already talking about Laker trades 😂
This is just to keep lebron’s goat legacy alive. He always need more help. Just give him the chip so Nick gets happy.
“ you never heard that “ 😂😂😂😂😂
the problem is there is no flow in the offense , barely any play calls , alot of iso and 2 man game .. ad also needs to be assertive and the defense needs to be assertive and aggressive. they let the nuggets be too comfortable
