I think people are underestimating the Lakers big time. The Nuggets have beat the Lakers but the games are always close to the end. A few plays here and there and it’s a different conversation.
All these comments writing off the lakers must be casual fans. We've been deadly since the trade deadline. This team remembers last year very well, and the core is intact, time will show
Wonder why yhe The refs didn't rig the game for the Lakers the last time 8 times they played the nuggets 🤔.O i forgot that's just the bullshit narrative haters create when the Lakers win
Denver will win 4-1 delusional LeFruad James fans I'm Born and raised Lakers Fan my Team is Trash only reason we're in the playoffs because of the Referees and NBA CARRIED US TO THIS POINT
@@doncooper9615 no doubt in my mind Peyton will be fine. In that Wolves game last week he had 6 blocks and was everywhere. His problem is offense, but he will play with Jokic a lot with AG playing backup 5 so Peyton will be fine on offense.
I just rewatched the lakers vs nuggets game feb 8th And this is what I noticed 80% of the time whenever we switched on defense,( instead of trapping murray or jokic) it was a bad possession for nuggets. Murray would try to thread the pass, Prince stole it couple of times. Prince even blocked jokic on top of the key from the back. When we switched. Lebron stay on MPj and dlo be discipline and stay on KCP. If jokic sets the pick for jamal, rui should switch to Murray, allow him to go one one over ruis outstretched arms.Trust me I counted 11 of such possessions. He Made went 3/9. Its when we trap them and try to rotate to the shooters, they have us looking silly cuz They r such great passes. We switch on defense, we win easily. When they did the same switching defense on us, we had bad possessions too. But they switched a lot more than us. On many switching possessions, Lebron was caught offensively backing down murray.. we are actually more effiecing beating the swtich the switch then they are. Way more. There was a play w austin Ad pnr. They switched it. Jokic ended up on austin. And christian brown was on ad. Easy score. Will jamal and jokic score on some mismatched, sure..but trust me, it's better than getting 3s rained on us.
As a laker fan, these teams faced off twice in da playoffs, 2020 in which da lakers won, and last year in which da chicken nuggets won, so to me they are 1 and 1, and last season every game went down to da last minutes so there is no daddy between the 2 teams da only difference is this year we get da nuggets early and Bron is healthy, Denver is a great team with alotta great chemistry but da lakers are in a better position as far as playing Denver this time, may da best team win!!!
@@orlandohenderson2185Denver is healthy lol. Completely healthy, lebron can’t stop all 5 of the nuggets. It won’t be a sweep but lakers are going home early. Couldn’t even win the games that mattered last year, lost all this year. Ls are Ls. No close sweeps none of that. You can’t win in the clutch then you’re not the better team
It's funny how we see this matchup as favorable for the Nuggets when reality is this is not a good first round matchup for the Nuggets. We can talk about how the Nuggets have beaten the Lakers 8 straight games. It isn't going to matter much because at some point the Lakers will beat them and no better time now than the Playoffs against Lebron who is a little more healthy this time around and AD is having a good season. It would have been better if the Nuggets played New Orleans, Sacramento, or even Golden State in the first round as opposed to the Lakers who has good size to matchup with them. The pressure is more on the Nuggets who are the defending champs. I am glad the Lakers did not lose the game to New Orleans even though the matchup would have been favorable against the Thunder. The Lakers have been playing good basketball lately and it forces them to take the Nuggets seriously as there is very little margin of errors they can make. It would not be a upset if the Lakers win this series. It was not an upset when they beat Memphis last year as they were the 2nd seed and Lakers were the 7th seed.
Denver needs to fear the nba and the officials. Just look at the freetrow differences between the lakers and every other team in the nba. The lakers have shot more freetrows than the next 2 teams combined. And the lakers are #1
Boohoo go cry conspiracy. It’s all on style of play! Lakers live in the paint whereas other teams just wanna chuck 3s. That’s the reason for the disparity you crybaby!
@projectchantalson831 if that happens the nba is fixed I really would believe that after the in season tournament the Lakers played like crap all the way to the end of the season the Lakers are not better than the Nuggets in a series one and done anything can happen
Denver is not unbeatable. Far from it. Question: How many denver starters or players creates offense effectively for them? Jamal and Jokic. 95% reggie Jackson 4% off the bench. Christian Braun 1%. All The lakers starting 5 creates offense. Ad w his post up. Reaves w his pnr. Dlo w pnr. Rui w his post ups. Lebron w his post up, pnr. That switching defense affects denver way more than it affects the lakers. And that's poor offense for denver when they go one on one.. jokic sets the pic for murray, rui should switch to murray. Leaving austin on jokic on top of the key. Everyone stays home on their shooters. This will be their most effective offense and trust me it, it's not a great offense for them. It's when we trap murray or jokic that's when they carve us up.
Lakers issue against the nuggets is that they didn’t have enough scoring outside of bron a few role players. this team has gabe, a better DLO, better Austin and Rui. Dinviddie. This will be a different series. Denver lost role players that hit big shots last year. You can’t overlook the lakers and bron.
Put lebron on jokic and let AD help. Put Murray in the pick n roll and post him up with either LeBron or Rui. I would let MJP be the secondary scorer instead of Murray
*If the Lakers want to win vs Denver they have to throw big bodies at Jokic, start fast & play physical, give him no space, never relax, challege every shot, get into his body and foul hard when necessary not to injure but let him it wont be easy Jaxson Hayes (C) and Colin Castleton (C) need to play when AD is not in the game and sometimes in tandem* to overwhelm him. *AD needs to play aggressive & consistent* 23ppg 15rpg 4blks The blueprint is right there. They tried the physical play with Tristan Thompson in Jokic too late last year but almost won the game but his presence and tactics were effective. Put LJ on Aaron Gordon Put Rui on Murray AR15 & D. Low take the other guards *There are no feel in games! Every game counts this is the finals* *Lakers have been playing too well and work to hard not to win this series*
Literally . The key to beating Denver is to play a strong center on him that can bully and frustrate him all night long. Dwight was perfect for that. With that true strong big as jokers primary defender , AD can play help defense if the center is beat. It’s the best chance. It’s same reason why joker struggled with the twin towers in Minnesota- Gobert bothering joker and KAT playing help defense
Lakers are ass, because of legal lebalco and the large media market of la everyone on TV talks about them, but in truth Denver has won 7 straight against them. One thing is for sure tho... I predict the lakers will get very very very favorable ref calls. That is a guarantee!!!
The Lakers will beat Denver 4- 2. Mark my words. That Denver team is the same. In that Lakers team can put a lot of points. LeBron won't be tired this time.
I agree I’ll also add the lakers have more depth this year I think the role players have found their sweet spot ( DLo, Reaves, Rui, Gabe Vincent, Prince) the lakers are deeper than they were last year as well as playing the nuggets on fresh legs
Denver will win 4-1 delusional LeFruad James fans I'm Born and raised Lakers Fan my Team is Trash only reason we're in the playoffs because of the Referees and NBA CARRIED US TO THIS POINT
Lebron beat a gsw team with a 73-9 record best team in nba history! Don’t think Denver better than that team .. they just can’t turn the ball over and they need to make shots harder for joker and shut down the rest of the team.. Lebron and the Lakers know what they gotta do .. the last time lakers vs Denver they wasn’t playing like they are now.
Delusional. Lebron and LAL cannot stop a cold. They old, tired, and Denver is just too good for LAL. Denver in 5 The Joker for MVP. Lebum dont have kyrie or ray allen for arse saving + bad defense very bad defense
Listening to Laker fans talking about Lakers. Just nuts how bad these sports programs are...
Bigger fan base, so they have to stan the Lakers. Nuggets in 5.
Denver don’t fear shit

"Nuggets should be afraid of LeBron'', but they not🤣
Nuggets win , no sweep💫

They're dumb
LA, in 6!! Those Lucky Shots ain't gone get Denver through this year.....

lucky shots for 8 games in a row huh?
Wonder why yhe The refs didn't rig the game for the Lakers the last time 8 times they played the nuggets 🤔.O i forgot that's just the bullshit narrative haters create when the Lakers win
To be the champs u gotta beat the champ's so wether its now or next month u were probably gonna run into Denver why not get them off the bat
The Lakers will be lucky to win a game, hmmm Tim leglar must be on Lebrons payroll just like Shannon Sharpe has been exposed for being
Jokic already called for 3 fouls.
lol last yrs phantom foul calls was crazy. They even reviewed one that was OBVIOUSLY NOT A FOUL and they still called it.

Sounds like the same crap same narrative juggernaut in 6 how easily they forget who the champion team is we ain't afraid of nobody sooner or later!
bruce brown brought that energy last year in playoffs nuggets should have kept him
You don't know the names Christain Braun and Peyton Watson yet, enjoy their defense because when they're on the Nuggets are unstoppable.

Lakers beat Denver in WCF and won a championship too let's keep it a 💯
4 years ago, did they suddenly get 4 tears younger or pick up a bunch of Centers to swap onto Jokic? Btw Murray owns Dlo.
Lakers avoiding sweept?? That should be the topic. Lakers are trash people coming from a LAL fan.
Denver in 5
Barely beat the trash pels and you think you up for the nuggets? Wash rinse and repeat of last year

It’s gonna be a good series but Davis can’t stop jokic , he couldn’t even slow down Zion , lakers will lose
