ESPN will still be talking about the lakers rest of the playoffs 💀
well you’re starting it off 😂
😂🤣😂 I know right.
@@teemurphy-tg4iq it’s always been 💀🤣
Yup
Lespn
“0-0 he did not miss a free throw tonight”🤣🤣. Malone is just savage.
That was great😂
I think that will become phrase in basketball 😂😂😂
Denver looked average the whole series...zip up Malone's pants 👖 when ya done
@@chrisdamon1096losing in 5 to an average team is crazy couldn't be my goat
@@chrisdamon1096 AD played really good against Jokic. As soon as AD was out for a couple of Minutes, Denver won the game. AD is a Top 10 in the League. LeBron can still score the way he scores.
Lakers got 27 free throws to the Nuggets’ 9 and still lost? 😂 Even the refs couldn’t save ESPN’s Lakers.
So the nuggets fouled more....just sloppy defence
@@bradmodd7856last time I checked the refs determine what a foul is 😂
Joker getting 0 FTs says it all…they did everything they could to extend this series but the Nuggets were just better than the refs.
@@bradmodd7856ha !! You know how many missed calls denver had. They literally took away an and 1 jumper from Murray and called it a non shooting foul. It couldn’t have been more obvious
@bradmodd7856 did you even watch the game?
ESPN and Lakers: huge achievement not getting swept
Ehhh no
It’s called a Gentlemen sweep!!!
How does this affect LEBRON'S LEGACY??? He's equal to Michael Jordan, right??? Who replaces Darvin Ham??? How will the Lakers trade for a 3rd superstar??? Is Austin Reaves ELITE???? Is it all D'Angelo Russell's fault?? Oh btw there's a monster series between T-Wolves & Nuggets, but we won't talk about it 🤣
Nuggets bailed out dw
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jokic no free throws, Murray poster and series ender. Diabolical work
Nuggets win ❌
Lakers lose ✅
That's ESPN's mentality for big market teams.
You new to ESPN?
Been like this since day one wym
Welcome to US Media, My Dude
nobody talking about lebron bolting to locker room detroit vs mj style as well.
Bruh we gonna be talking about the Nuggets for at least 2 more weeks... Shut up and let him talk about the team that just lost.
The FT was disgusting. 27-9 to the Lakers, the refs did everything against the Nuggets.
The fact that Jokic got zero is insane.
Big win for nuggets to overcome that... This game clearly keeps them as the favorite to win it all.
one side of he picture buddh
I mean if you watch the game with LeBron driving almost every time and add diving to the rim almost every time of course they're going to get free throws
Nuggets fans are disgusting
Shot 3x more free throws to keep la hopes alive yet Murray stomped it out feels good
How about when LeBum flops on that drive near the end and makes the basket and nobody touched him and he's whining wanting a call!
Murray said f your free throws to the lakers and nba refs 😂
3x as many. 3x more is 4x. Why you Americans can’t figure out simple maths ?
@@trex7115Go back to school.
@@trex7115 Alright I got you buddy. 1x is 100% or 1 "Whole" yes? The "Whole" we are working with is the Nuggets 9 free throws. So lets take 9 and multiply it by 3, you get 27! Or you know, 300% or 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF X, AKA 3x more.
Stop telling Americans to go back to school when you can't wrap your head around this VERY SIMPLE concept. SMH 🤡🤡🤡
Jokic, Murray, Gordon, JCP, and Reggie Jackson took 74 shots and got 1 FT attempt, meanwhile the Laker's Taurean Prince, Jaxson Hayes, and Spencer Dinwiddie got 8 FT attempts on 8 shots. Disgusting.
And they were not THAT much more aggressive than the nuggets. The rigging is unbelievable
And Denver still beat them on the rebounds
Lakers would have been cleaned out if it weren't for their freethrows
@@jivet3919Denver was also careless with the basketball
Yeah them turnovers be crazy and costly@@user-lt1fx2he5s
The reason that Jamal Murray and so many of the Nuggets squad are comfortable in big moments is because of Jokic. The fact that he's so unselfish and runs entire games without bothering to score himself so often gets his team HUGE practice minutes in live games. Murray is a credit to the squad and absolutely is a great number 2 but this squad would not look the same with any other allstar along side them. What Joker has done with this squad is unbelievably special he really has elevated them all.
Nuggets built their team on an unselfish player in Jokic. So the chemistry will always be there.
I was thinking that too.. like how Denver would look without joker.. maybe a play in team.. I’m not so sold on Murray as anything but a solid #2..
But when gap from 1 & 2 is so far apart n it’s not up for debate.. also cuz jokic doesn’t care for the flair n theatrics helps that Murray has that ego. Kudos for playing his role.. what Shaq n Kobe could’ve been if they play long enough n win enough.. what Westbrook n Kyrie ego got in the way of.
But joker is so low maintenance. He’s like Tim Duncan Dirk n vlade mixed in one
That's a championship mentality, setting aside egos and make other 4 on the floor be better
No, stop it...the glazing is crazy! Not takin anything for Jokic, but Jamal is confident bcus of Jamal. He has been like this long before the NBA. I know him personally, and my boy jus happens to be his agent.
Yes Joker is great in all aspects of the game , well at least on offense , that is why he is about to win his third MVP of the league . I like Jokic seems like a good person who just wants to win.
Lakers fans acted like not losing 12 straight games was a major accomplishment. Lol
In this current iteration, they have to celebrate their wins however/wherever they can get them from.
Not Laker fans, Lebron fans. Im Laker fan and waiting for lebron to leave with his toxic fan base
Losing to Murray on a last second shot twice in 3 games is naaaaaaasty work 👀🙌🏾
Bron has initiated a change in coach in every single team he’s been on. That’s how toxic it is to be a coach or teammate of LeBron. The only time he failed is when Pat Riley didn’t fire Spoelstra in spite of Bron’s requests 😂
Tell it brother. Can't stand that POS.
Denver vs. Minnesota might be the real Western Conference Finals and maybe the real NBA Finals. They’re the two biggest teams in the NBA.
Inb4 it’s just blowout games
Totally off topic but do most nba players go to cancun or is that just a metaphor for when they lose lol
@@paulswanson5110 ita little of both lol.
@@paulswanson5110 the poor ones go to Cancun, the rich ones go to Europe French Riviera, Amalfi, Mykonos...
Yep thats the real finals all these other teams are so lucky they have to play each other round 2.
Espn going to be in shambles with Bron KD..and Steph out..they better ramp up them Ant and MJ comparisons and build their new star while he hot 😂
Noticed that too. ANT needs to win first before crowning him!
lol they already started after he swept the suns they know this older era is over they gotta get to marketing ASAP
I like Ant-Man. He's cool.
That’s pretty much what they are doing 😂. They setting him up for the debate circus
@datsapaddlin yep and the fans gonna turn on him within 2 years ..like they do everyone else lol
Referee again tried their best. 2 out of 5 games. Referees were lakers best player 😂
But Nuggets had more FTs in two games. Were you crying then?
@@Dwade32 No one seems to be crying as much as you.
@@davide4725you sure about that? Nuggets won the series but ya'll keep talking about the Lakers and refs. Seems to me you guys are the ones crying 😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 NBA is not rigged
Everyone is talking about Jamal Murray's heroics in the 4th quarter. But for me, the MVP of this series is Michael Porter Jr.! He was unbelievable!!!
Gordon made the game winning offensive rebound in games 2 & 5. The both lead to a 3 pointer that changed the momentum
At least they have their in season tournament banner lol
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
That Mickey Mouse banner
And 17 nba champions banners!!! So stfu. Denver got 1 tho, thats a good start lol.
Lmaooooo
@@moonoo2353And the Lakers keep on living in the 2020 season with that bubble championship
Jamal Murray posterized ESPN’s LeBoy. 😂 That’s being forgotten in all this. Jamal avenges LeBron’s block on him in Game 2.
It’s basketball he got put on poster how many people have LB put on one
Refs tryin to help with those FTs but still not enough..🤣🤣🤣🤣
u didnt see the highlight where lebron got gangbanged and forearmed by 3 people and fell down? naw you didnt see it right? dumb af comment
Lakers got sent to GALVESTON not to CANCUN 😂😊😅
Bro u corny shut up
wait till they play ant 😎
@@sierrasymone7590antman, Kit Kats, French men. Dont matter Nuggets in 6.
@@sierrasymone7590nuggets in 6 bro 😆
1,2,3 Galveston !! 🖐️
5:36 as you guys can see, LAL had 18-27 FTs while, DEN only had 8-9 FTs and yet the Lakers still lost.
Free throw merchants
tim legler best analyst in basketball
That title belongs to Charles Barkley. Tim is right behind him though
@@Ssjangel3 charles barkley is a legend, he does analyse the game predicts wrong things and correct. Things. And he entertains the audience. Tim legler is an analysr and the best at it.
Last year after the Nuggets eliminated Bron he said that he had to think about the possibility of retirement, which resulted in the media talking about him retiring for weeks. This year he said that people have to find out if he will be a Laker and walked off stage. I really wish this guy stops trying to make himself the story after his team gets eliminated.
His story, his decision mate
@@issacforman5069he’s a clown, narrative shift, every single time 🤡
It's so shocking to me that Jamal Murray isn't an All-Star.
The disrespect for Murray is real
Yes I don't care what anyone said Murray 6-4 and Lebron 6-9 and that dunk was nasty and then the flex by Murray I loved it and Lebron fans say well he's 39 years old it doesn't matter always excuses after excuses. I'm just glad for Denver to finish the job cause if the Lakers would have won oh trust me the talk about the Lakers oh I mean Lebron would have been a 24-7 conversation. Great job Nuggets and Murray another game winner shot on a sprained calf. Trust me right about there are so many Lebron fans who are so upset and pissed but it doesn't matter they have eliminated the Lakers for the 2nd straight year. Congratulations Nuggets way to go
@@deanrogers8273yes fans tend to not like their teams being eliminated. How do yall type this stuff and not feel like idiot lol
He should be!!! Just give him the ball in the 4th quarter and he will take over the game.
@@trailmonstah1892 He does not get talked about enough .He one of the top guards in the nba.😁
It's a Beautiful Day - LaFlop LaWhine is going to the beach. He deserves it
Back to South Beach to be exact 😂😂😂😂
The lead official who overturned the foul, AD on Jokić should be fired. NBA officiating is literally trash. These playoffs are nearly unwatchable because of how poorly they are calling the games.
For reals , that pissed me off
Remember tim donanly how they killed him he ain't refereeing anymore and it's still going on
Probably the same official that reversed the call of Dlo getting slapped in the face
Celebrating not getting swept is crazy work 😅
Jamal has more game winners in 2 years than LJ has in his whole career.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thats literally not true at all but nice to know there are 30 idiots just like u who’ll believe anything negative about Lebron 😂
If you hate Lebron just say that
Stop cappin mark
Nope. Idiot.
Definitely more impressive game winners
I wonder if AD gone say Jamal Murray " made a shot "again.
That's all folks!!!
AD’s going to have nightmares about that for a while.
Sounds better than "We got our a** whooped."
0/0 he didn't miss a FT 😂
Malone knows exactly how to get the message across to the bs nba
Murray the laker killer.
Negative; Lakers made major mistakes the last 4 minutes; Murray, Gordon offensive rebounds, Murray's unimpeded paint penetratoon, layup. Aedin
Killed a lot of teams at playoff time
@@aedinquinn8687cry 😂😂
In season champs though! Go home and stare at your banner
@@angelocervantes495017 championship titles, ok
Those offensive rebounds were a killer
Facts
Moment of piece for espn, they gonna be all in black today
🤔😭😂🤣😭😭😭
Whats a king to a Jamal?
ok thats a good one.
Edit: well maybe cause he's a fake kind.
Is it me but why does all of his segments seem so genuine not force like every other ESPN analyst on here thank you so much for being original and being yourself. I love that about you ever since I was a kid watching you thank you
Everybody said they were all close games implying Lakers had the chance to win these games. So does this mean the Lakers are bad at finishing games? It aint luck if it happens multiple times.
What will ESPN talk about the rest of the season?😮
I would like to say purple and gold, but the truth is they'll be talking about Bronze.
LeBron retirement tour 🤣🤣🤣
Lebron was clearly injured so they have something to talk about, and maybe he retires so a little bit to talk, oh and dont forget the US retirement Team
the joke a s cowboys !
🤔😂🤣😭😭😭
They put Jokić at the post while Aaron Gordon was in the dunker’s spot, MPJ in the corner 3, Jamal at the top, KCP in the corner 3 and shoutout to Kwame Brown
Lakers missed 9 fts and denver shot 9 fts. Lakets shot 3 times more. Hopefully not that lakers are out, refing should be fair
JAMAL MURRAY MADE A SHOT......AGAIN🤣
as long as lakers are out, it can't be that bad whomever the champions end up being
If you put money on the Lakers in this series, you're a rookie, and your parents need to send you to GA.
Depends if you took the points. I crushed it
La covered tonight
Why Georgia?
we don't want em in GA
Have you been the News. Guess GA would be better than any Ivy league school 😂😂😂
Even if they fire Ham, what Head coach would want to come to LA just to become an assistant coach😅
How the road team shoots 18 more free throws than the home team in a close out game five is amazing. THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO GET THE LAKERS A WIN AND THEY STILL LOST! THAT SAYS ALOT!!
Lebron got dunked on by Murray..lol!
Age matters, Lebron season 8 in Heat was a beast
Na at that time okc was betta the refs robbed them
@@repentXreptarLeBron is 4” taller than Murray, I’m so sick of age swinging in Lebrons favor for every argument…just cope.
@@NostalgikOne knees giving up, affecting elevation, why age is not a thing
@@NostalgikOnethey use his age as a boost and crutch. When he doesn’t something good they say look how great he is at 39… when things go left they say what do you expect he’s 39 😂😂 I’ve never seen a fanbase like this
What about Murray’s shot under foul that refs didn’t count? Numerous uncalled LeBron’s screen movements, carries, travels, elbow fouls they didn’t called on him? Three times more free throws for LeRefs team ? Flops?
Hungry wolves and a hunting Denver, this should be a bloody series.
Denver in 4
@@BillLup-eb7lt6*
Wolves in 6
Can we talk about the refs?
They tried it.
On the lakers side
MURRY gotta heal his leg up fast cause Anthony Edwards way better than Austin Reaves or Dlo….
Murray won’t be defending any it will be AG
Gordon gonna lock AE up.
Ant is better than anyone on the Lakers roster
Two of the best in the business...great segment.
LeBron's gone fishin'. LOL.
Lakers don't have anyone who can guard Murray
Not 1 post for OKC sweeping the pelicans but 10 for the lakers losing and "the face of the nba" who isnt better than SGA these narratives never end
A Pelicans team without their best player😂
Who's the face of the nba?
They swept the pelicans bruh 😂 it's not that big a deal to be honest. But I agree the LA narrative is old as fugg and overrated
@@amcg6075 it's LeBron and it's the lakers playing the defending Champs or OKC sweeping the pelicans what do you think will get more views??? Yeah ESPN is a business after all.
no zion. they should have swepted
Now we can watch basketball again!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾😎
Them LA fans real quiet right about now ain’t they? 🤔
They're tryna figure out who to blame that makes sense. 😂😂😂😂
Naw not quite didn’t expect to win as a long time Laker fan. Just remember where your team came from Amigo. Denver has only 1 ring and good luck getting another one . Denver struggled with us the whole series and where by far not the the best team in the WEST 😂
@@kaliboi2475sorry this is happening to you
@@kaliboi2475 bingo lol, and im not even a lakers fan lol, most lakers fans were just happy they didnt get swept tbh
Yall getting slaughtered by Minnesota Timberwolves next. Facts!
Yesss!!!! Puff waiting to his Queen on a vacay 😂
Lol
I said the same thing😂
Lakers fans: but we didn’t get swept 😂
The Lakers won one game. People act like they are going to come back being down 0-3
LeBron: "it's just basketball"
Also lebron: walks off without congratulating anyone.
Looks like it means more then just a game to him 😂
Hilarious to me that all the end game highlights this series is Murray, none for Ole Bron
NGL, all season long I only watched a few full games so I thought Refs just be cheating for LA (and they might a bit, no cap), but I watched every game this series and most of the fouls they got were actual fouls. Nuggets probably could've gotten a few more for themselves as well, but LA was picking their defense apart all series and getting easy drives to the cup where Nuggets would either foul late, or let them get the bucket. LA really figured Denver out for this series, but thankfully Nuggets held on for the Gentleman's Sweep!
Love the Murray flex on James!
Murray shot is so toughhh he literally is fading left at full speed and to hit that is 🔥
Nuggets are so classy. They give respect when respect wasn’t given back to them.
This is going to be a fun comment section this week
Great to hear
Murray’s interview told me a Leo about the team. They knew what they needed to do and that they were going to do it. Business as usual
MJ 23 no more talking!
MJ? That one bald dude that jumps really high?
King James’ throne is a toilet
No more steph, no kd, no lebron after 1st round playoffs
Welcome to new nba era
Loved how Murray shrugged his shoulders too😅
😂🤣
Yesss !!! Lebron be shrugging his shoulders after bulldozing smaller players. So cringe when he does that. Glad Murray got him on that poster
When the refs spot you such a FT advantage and you shot 66%
That Gordon rebound was crazy lol.
Hard to win games when you don’t play defense. If lakers were able to trade another star for Lebron like PG they win this series
Where is Letantrum's professionalism? No hand shakes with the gentlemen? 🤪😂
Nope, I noticed it as well. I'm glad he is out, and he can go pout on vacation with his wife and talk about blaming someone or something else
Open and close case KCP injured and you do not take advantage of it. Darvin Ham should be fired!!!
Free throws 9-27😂😂😂😂😂
I can appreciate Mike Malone rooting for Darvin Ham to remain as the Lakers coach.
Murry played like kobe out there
He did 💯
The Lakers network is big mad right now
It is so obvious that NBA wants Lakers and LeBron to win, 27 FTs vs. 9
look at the free throw numbers: lakers (18 of 27), nuggets (8 of 9). 3 times the attemps. The nba wanted lakers to in so bad
That was an awesome game. Both teams gave it their all.😊
I think you're lost sir this comment section is for bitching and moaning only
Bronze gentleman swept despite having the better roster. 😂😂😂 Murray = clutch. Bronze = not clutch. That dunk on his grill didn't help either. And look at that FT discrepancy for Lakers.
💯
There is no way the lakers roster is better
@@issacforman5069Yes the Lakers had the better roster...Nuggets just wanted it more
0/0 free throws😊
Some players get on a roster with Lebron james and magically can no longer do the things they previously did on other teams. Its the strangest phenomena I have ever seen in sports.
Bro wilt chamberlain literally has some records that may never be beaten. The man causally has 18 20 20 and 5 games is crazy
Murray is the clutch king. He deserves an award. The nuggets dynasty will last for many many years to come.
Dynasty 😂😂😂😂 you aren’t beating okc and certainly not the Celtics. You are probably better than the wolves though
1 chip dynasty 🤣😂😂😂😂 asterisks bubble wrap chip
@@BillLup-eb7lt They will beat okc but not my celtics.Who on okc would guard jokic or 4th quarter murray?Michael porter Jr.
Let's see, but if nuggets beat wolves in the second round I am sure they will reign supreme in the west. Against the soft Celtics in the finals I go for the nuggets.
They beat them twice this year,they can definitely beat your Celtics, Jimmy does it all the time 😅.@@BillLup-eb7lt
Refs helping Lakers wasn't enough, Jamal just sent LeBum to retirement with an awesome poster dunk AND the game winning shot, again! 👍
Beautiful basketball game out there. Feels like a game 7.
Its true the wolves vs denver. The best defense vs the most versatile offense the best player in the world vs the guy who knows he is the best player in the world. This is clash of the titans. All the pieces around them playing at a great level its gonna be intense.
Obviously it was the refs fault. The Lakers only had 18 more FTs than the Nuggets. Situation normal.
0:58
LeShrug 😆
yeah he doesnt like him, you can see it
he looks often disgusted at him or the refs.
That Denver and Minnesota series is gonna be insane
My analysis was correct. I said that The lakers would only win one game.
LeBron’s window of opportunity in terms of winning a championship is closing.
ESPN: Lakers eliminated by Nuggets
Also ESPN: What can the Lakers do to get Lebron the help he needs
Every year the same crap as if he’s the only player that’s allowed to win. I’ve never seen the media campaign for any other player to win other than LeBalco
That's why the Lakers lost, a coach happy with mediocrity. Dammit you got a 50 mil a year player, " AD gettin hurt " ? What about Jamal?😂
Mr glass 😂
Good defense by Jokic. I thought they were going to call blocking foul.
The worst part about the free throw disparity is that LeBron could easily be called for offensive fouls since HE is the one that creates contact on his drives just running into the lane like a bowling ball.
