I'm not even afan of either team, but thats just blatant disrespect.

“Escape with the win” is crazy
Yeah how is winning by 10 points escaping with a win? I guess Denver sweeping them last year was also escaping win a series win.😂😂

Stephen A hates the nuggets so much 😂 it’s actually sad to watch. I hope they repeat because people STILL disrespect them even after a championship.
Cause he hate how great foreign players are now
@@tigerhoods7927 Facts
How and where did he hate on them?! He was actually slurping on them and Jokic.
And Jokic deserves the MVP. He should have had it last season too.
He hates having to go to any shitty city in the playoffs. He wants it to always be LA vs Miami so he can have it easy
Nuggets ESCAPED with the win??? They WON the game. ESPN is GARBAGE!
Malika is the biggest garbage.

Well because ESPN meat rides the Lakers especially LeBron James.
@@matthewmaning4859like you meat ride your father a--hole😂😂
Jokic is the next lebron
Next he will form a superteam with kd
They lost to a good team. There's nothing really to be disgusted by. They played well for the majority of the game but the Nuggets are just really really good.
Nah Stephen gotta stick to the ESPN narrative instead of just giving Denver there flowers
Ham can’t coach! Dlo should of been in the game.
But the Lakers are still a very good home team and Denver has been pretty average on the road. This game was tailor-made for the Lakers to win. They were right there and couldn’t close the deal.
Disgusted by the coaching and lack of adjustments.
@@BossQuis1000% keep letting them know because that’s first order of business
Blaming Anthony Davis for being outplayed by Jokic is like blaming Clyde Drexler being outplayed by Michael Jordan or Paul George for losing to Lebron back when PG was on the Pacers. People like Stephen A just either don't respect Jokic or just can't stand the fact that he is the best player in the game. Jokic is considerably better than Anthony Davis and he really shouldn't be blamed. Jokic is that unstoppable. The difficulty in defending him is exemplified in the alley oop dunk to Aaron Gordon near the end of the game. Jokic was shooting a hook shot and made it into a pass to Gordon so late in the action that nobody can possibly react to it. He is that great and smart of a basketball player. When you play Jokic, its not one on one defense, all 5 guys have to defend because he can pick apart any vulnerability in the defense. He is one of the very few players in the history of basketball capable of doing that.
Jordan was dominant player on both ends. There was no way clyde would school jordan who was a great defensive player. Jokic can’t stop AD defensively. AD could’ve 100 percent gone for 40 plus on jokic but its his mindset and willingness to compete against a player like jokic.
@@2kolbe010you must not watch games if you think Jokic would allow AD to go 100% from the field 😂
joel enbid is the best player and dwight howard would have shut him down
Lebron has a top2 Power Forward in the NBA and STILL lost. Thats the reality
Thats the thing, Davis is not as good offensively as you think. Guys who hurt Jokic at the center position are perimeter or 3p shooting centers not interior players. He is not a good rim protector but he is actually a very good interior defender against his own man. if you watch Davis can't really finish well in the post against him. Embiid is a guy who can hurt Jokic because he is a much better scorer from the perimeter than Davis.
Stephen A forgot AD scored 40 versus Nuggets in game one of the conf finals and still lost 😂
Because Darvin ham played 3 guard lineups
You rather lose that way than having your best players not showing up
Having Rui gaurd Jokic is weird asf
And Bron was injured.
@wesleycuban8649 yeah yeah like everytime he gets eliminated in the playoffs 😂😂😂
Lakers are an average team who lost to the champs. Why is SAS expecting the Lakers to turn into the 96 Bulls just because it's Lebron's night?
Lakers had this game tho, am not taking anything away from this Nuggets team they're the defending champs for a reason but Lakers looked good in the first half and they just let the Nuggets take the lead in crunch time, this is the final stretch of the season where teams from 1-10 to make the playoffs, they lost to a great team but now they have Thunder, Kings, Bucks, Timberwolves next and like Stephen A said Lakers could lose all those games
Bc it’s the LAKERS and they got a huge fan base plus they got LeBron. I’m sure they don’t expect that it’s just for views don’t get so triggered bro
isn’t bron the fake goat ? isn’t the goal to win championships, not have the most points all time; or the most turnovers 😳
Reaching 40k is great, but Reaching 40k and beating the defending champs is greater! Reaching 40k means nothing to the nuggets they have a bigger goal... getting another chip!
Lol fat boy won't win it all again...they got lucky last year I'll be surprised if they get past the first round
Malika: “they escaped with the win…” after beating lakers 3x it’s not escaping, it’s dominating, if lakers won, than they would’ve escaped 🤦🏻♂️the way they talk about other teams is ridiculous, all the while still pumping up the Lakers😂😂😂
Yeah, Nuggets "escaped" with 8 straight wins over the Lakers. Of course, all of those were moral victories for the Lakers.

If you knew anything about business then you know which product would bring you money when you present it to the people!! The topic of Lakers losing generates more money than a topic about Nuggets beating The Lakers and LeBron!! That's how much of a big start LeBron is and LA!!...
Sadly, like what former 9News sportscaster Ron Zappolo said to Kim Christiansen & Tom Green on the 4pm show that very Monday prior to Game 4 and the Nuggets sweeping the Lakers in last year's Western Conference Finals, when Kim expressed the same frustration to Ron. And Ron simply said, they don't care about us(Coloradans). We're in the time zone where they just fly over!

This is hurt to all Legoat haters but this is the reality, After 1-2 more decades when all of you died new generation will only remembered those special and important records! Legoat's Longgivity and All Time Leader Records and a lot of insane records will always be special! decades by decades Nba will gonna talk about it! Mj's 6 rings is not really special because of Bill Russel and Mj himself is just an ordinary player because of his xerox copy Kobe Bryant that almost better than him.
Legoat haters was always so desperate with their stupid nonsense excuses! from lied post, childish memes, non latest post and not related to nba post additionally this brainless excuses about Legoats steroid it was not allowed in any sport at his age with his consistent stats it was unbelievable but it's real because Legoat is the future God of basketball
What magic Jhonson statement about Legoat James plus Pat Riley plus Isaiah Thomas plus Shaq plus Lary Bird plus Jerry West plus Pippen and a lot of more ex-player from Mj's era that turn into Legoat's guy choosing him as their supreme Goat was really hurts and will always be a big slap to all haters!
Nuggets ability to close out games is top tier. Its not just jokic and murray, the role players always step and hit timely shots/make winning plays. It was Gordan, mpj, and holiday down the stretch this game and last year during the WCF it was brown and jeff green who made numerous clutch plays. Props to coaching staff man they build a solid all around team
And I'm sick of his schtick. Lakers were supposed to beat the Nuggets? Didn't see Ham benching D'Lo for a guy to get cardio? Blame AD, but not the guy calling the plays? They don't play through him, but he's supposed to match Jokic, who team actually plays through him? Analyze the game and stop reaching for clickbait.
Listen, Jokic and Murray have BEEN this unstoppable, but the LEMEDIA was so busy riding Bron' and the Lakers for the past years they didn't give Denver any RESPECT. Also, aside from Jokic and Murray the guys who make the difference for Denver are the great play of Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon. Both of those guys have taken their games to another level and have made Denver into an ELITE team. When you give a guy like Jokic weapons like he has around him now, Denver is going to be VERY HARD to beat in a series. But, Porter Jr. and Gordon have been the difference makers. Carry On...
Still no coverage on BALCO... ok
Lakers can’t stop the nuggets, period. Their only hope is to out score them like they did in the first half but they chose to close the game with a defensive line up until it was too late.
Matthew 10:26
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
If they try to outscore them, they'll run out of gas and the Nuggets will take advantage.
Our only hope is that golden state or the clippers take them out for us lmao
@@x-man9473 But how can the young guys run out of gas? They don’t get that excuse when most of them only know how to play one side of the ball and that’s offense. Rui is their only semi two way player they have among the young guys.
@@WJGSix True. But the only way they could outscore the Nuggets is to do a "run and gun" style of offense. And that tires players out. It's also not efficient. And will only lead to turnovers and poor efficiency, which the Nuggets will take advantage of.
The Lakers need to focus on fixing their ball movement and player movement. And start playing defense. Because those major problems are what give the Lakers the most trouble.
The Nuggets do this to everyone lol, they’re toying with teams and then can decide to go on a 12-0 run pretty much at will to get the W. I don’t know why the Lakers should be “disgusted” by losing to the best team in the West.
Not the best team in the west.. however they are the defending champs …The “best” team in the west currently is between the wolves and clippers. With that said the defending champs is still dominating.. any placement over 4 in the playoffs gives them a chance to repeat..
@@realamerican8069 clippers ?!

Again much respect as a Celtics fan.😀🍀
The NBA fans deserve a Celts Nuggs finals.. Would be a wicked series
Yes please. A Nuggets vs Celtics final.
I don’t want to hear ESPN run another segment for the rest of the season asking if AD is a top 5 player he clearly is not.
ESPN and Stephen A staying on brand with Jokic disrespect and Lebron worship. There are levels to this and Jokic and AD aren't on the same one. Lakers and Warriors are over and ESPN needs to wake up.
LOL that's crazy
The topic is about the Nuggets, and SAS goes off a tangent about the Lakers. Then Malika tries to talk about MPJ'ms night, turns it over to Perkins who just ignores her
Classic LA bias
The 9-win Wizards took LA to the brink the other night and they’re surprised they lost to DEN? 😂
The way ESPN glazes you’d think the Lakers were 50-10 smh
I love how the media still pretends AD is that guy. His entire career we've been talking about ADs potential and not what he has done. He's just not in that level of top 10 player you need to be to compete with Jokic
AD is a top 10 player, jokic is just better. it’s pretty simple. best player in the world. AD has been playing like a top 7-10 player this season and if you think he hasn’t then you’re simply not watching games.
AD IS a top 10 player, he's just not near the level of Nikola Jokic. And of course ESPN is blaming him and Ham, it's somehow never LeBron's fault.
@@enzogarcia6675 it’s not any one persons fault for losing this game, the nuggets are simply the better team. AD had a mid game overall and bron was terrible in the 4th quarter. darvin ham in general just isn’t a good coach and gets out coached nightly. i don’t know why stephen a and the rest of the media are acting like it’s such a big deal that the better team beat the worse team.
@@rgahima99 you understand the concept of "on paper" right? Also did you watch the game yesterday or just look at the stat line? Lakers pretty much had them until crunch time. If only LeBron was half as clutch as the stats keep trying to tell us
He can't be a top ten since there are at least ten players no one will trade him for, Jokic, Embild, Giannis, Luka, Durant, Tatum, Ant, Morant, SGA, Brunson, Chet, Wemby just off the top.
What's SAS' point? If it were that easy to match Jokic's production then AD would have been by far the best player because he is also a great defender. Even if AD brings his A game he simply does not compare to Jokic's offense it's that simple. Nobody does. Not right now and possibly not in the history of NBA.
What part of the offense is built around Jokic does Stephen A not understand
he's just a babbling idiot sticking to ESPN's negative narrative around Denver, instead of giving them their flowers for winning, he's crying about the Lakers losing.
seriously this narrative with AD is something only casual morons could fall for at this point. If everything is centered around taking turns running iso and PNR that doesn't usually lead to a pass to the roller in their sweet spot, then the offense clearly wasn't designed for AD. It was designed for the choke artist
The truth hurts Lakers fans, including their ESPN fan club.
Not all Lakers fans. Some of us are waiting for LeBron and his coverup team to leave.
Well the truth is Lakers can't beat the Nuggets
cover up? with respect nuggets are better and so much out on the team around James but all the acalades go to him not the team. fans are so loyal it's obvious @@Ezekial2517

@@SSJRome I was being sarcastic 😂😂😂
They just won’t be able to counter Denver they’re a good team and won’t ever win unless they make some major trades in the off season
Ima tell yall this right now there will never be a game when Anthony Davis out plays jokic 😮
Eh it could probably happen maybe 1 out of 15 times. It’s unlikely, but “never” is too strong of a word, especially for someone of Davis’s caliber
Yeah but what I’m saying is that it’s def possible for there to be games where Jokic scores 30-35 and AD scores 40. He does have that potential for random scoring explosion, albeit pretty rarely. That’s why I said like 1/15 games
@AnErasedChannel oh my bad, I didn’t realize that right away
Dravin had DLO on the bench and had cam out there just stupid
Probably cause they needed defense. DLo can't guard Murray or MPJ, can't even guard Justin Holliday.

@@enzogarcia6675 well we couldn’t score at the end so that was the problem. I get what you saying tho but cam hasn’t been playing much he just got back
Nothing to be ashamed of ESPN. The Lakers are not that good and lost to an elite team, defending champs, Nuggets.
The cream normally rises to the top.
How many times have they stated or asked A.D. to show up.....hundreds of times now, insanity at its finest.
Okay but when Jokic said “we ain’t gonna let you get pass 8” did he mean point wise or seeding??? Idk man lol

It’s what happens when your passion is stats vs winning.
Empty calories from a guy who cheated the game and formed super teams to win because he can’t win without them.

Shut up
I mean I'm obsessed with Malika Andrews
The nuggets is what happens when you build a team the right way slowly and methodically over time developing players. And the lakers are an example of how you build a team the wrong way constantly trading away great young talent that never gets developed in house. There are no shortcuts in life.
The most important thing is they recognized Jokic as a unique talent early and built a team around him that fits perfectly. It doesn't matter how long it took if you don't ever get that generational talent. Lakers had it with Kobe and Magic. Lebron is great but not enough of a two way player anymore and AD is not him.
This is the farewell tour.
Nothing says script time like networks talking non stop about a 10 seed team. 🤣🤣🤣
As a laker fan I have no idea why they still bring up Gabe Vincent he was TERRIBLE before he got hurt 😂
The Nuggets nearly swept the playoffs last year. I don’t see any reason why they can’t do that again.
Okc is 3-1 against them their speed gives the Nuggets trouble
ESPN will be totally lost if Lakers miss the playoffs 😂
“Escape with a win”???? Yeah ok lol 😂
Even without Contagious Caldwell-Pope the Nuggets are sick.

why ESPN aint talking about the fact that Sabonis found the kryptonite to Jokic effectiveness more less? sheesh xd
Why did SAS even have high expectations for a team like the Lakers? did he think just because it’s LeBron’s “big night” they could win?
You can't beat a team when you have Joker playing like he's Larry Bird and Williams is playing like AI, and Gordon is playing like Charles Barkley 2.0 😮
EVEN WITH EMBIID PLAYING, JOKIC IS THE BEST NBA PLAYER NOW.
If the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja were healthy this season, thats another playoff, play in spot taken away from the Lakers and Warriors. The Nuggets beat up on the Lakers, Warriors easily because they are better than them. They are old . Nuggets are champs. Its that simple! ESPN needs to stop juicing up the Lakers and Warriors. Chuck Barkley is right.
The Nuggets hate from mainstream media is sad. They’ve shown that they’re one of the best teams in the league over the past 5 seasons. The Nuggets won that game because they’re a better team, with a superstar that plays great fundamental basketball.
So tired of ESPN talking about the Lakers and the Warriors. PLAY-IN TEAMS LOL
I agree
Porter got all those points with a six inch screw in his knee
Dwight Howard gave the best effort on jokic in 2020 bubble
SAS: “Switch gears”
Malika: “HR!!!!”
Did they not see the blow series Nuggets gave to the Lakers…… this is unreal espn
Nuggets are the best team in the league and the Lakers are a play-in team at best. Awful lot of words being said about nothing. The Lakers will be lucky if they finish in their current spot.
Lot of sadness on the left and on the at this table. LOL
Bob Myers is way too smart for this show
This loss on AD. He can never have under 20 it just can’t happen if they got title hopes
