CAN WE PUT DWIGHT IN TRISTANS JERSEY.😂😂😂
@KCP i see u folks💪🏾✊🏾
AD on Jokic ain’t gone work lol AD not really strong he just talk Jokic is solid asf can you imagine taking a shoulder to the chest from that guy?
That was artful and how Mike Malone awarded KCP. He knows he's a former Laker and he wants him hungry. Genius. LA is cooked
Lakers in 6 for sure
the sound of lebron deflating while darvin ham speaks 😅
Game 2 will be lakershow bounce back win….
Refs carried the Lakers in the 4th quarter after Silver made the call to rig the game with a "comeback" (8 free throws in 1 minute) and the Lakers STILL couldn't win LOL. The Nuggets are THAT much better than they are even with fixed games, the refs, the NBA AND Silver doing everything in the it power to carry a half dead old injury prone LeBron to the finals. How embarrassing. You could see the frustration on Lebron's face going into the locker rooms at the end of the game, "I'm gonna call Silver and scream at him…8 free throws in one minute…I need 20!!!" 😂 LeBron is NOT a good basketball player without the refs.
Lakers in 6
bruh MIchael Malone voice recovery is the real mvp of this series.
A WIN IS A WIN !!!!!
Both of these coaches and teams are exactly what the NBA needs as it’s face. Character, integrity, and team first guys, that hold their players to the same standards. No players waving guns in nightclubs, beating up spouses, whatever, just pros working hard.
Darvin Ham's obsession with his 3 point guard lineup is maddening to see.
Man kcp found a great place to play at stinks Lakers let him go
Of course you're not giving the gaudy jewelry to Jokic'. I mean, why would you? Just because he's the main facilitator and owned the glass, and had a triple-double. You give it to the former Laker. Laker. Ironic that the chain is gold. LOL
Lakers in 7
IF WILT WASNNT A WINNER THEN WHY IS HE TOP 3 IN WIN SHARES ALL TIME.????????>>>>>>EXACTLY
Someone's cooking some bacon and eggs in that Lakers locker room
Now KCP wanna make shots lol it’s aight he will fold when the pressure is on him
Lakers will never come back to Denver again! Kick those losers out of playoffs nuggets🏀,common now!! 🔥
Mo bamba was healthy I see lakes in 5 but now I see them in 7 joker is going keep cooking
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.
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.
Lakers in 5
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
Coach ham try to start gabriel along with ad…gbriel can dfnd jokic also like hachimura..i hope you can utilize him..
Game 2: Lakers
Game 3 Lakers
Game 4: Nuggets
Game 5: Nuggets
Game 6: Lakers
Game 7: 🤷🏻♂️
Michael Malone is a Michael de Santa / Ned Luke imposter
Nuggets In 7…😊
lakers shot light out and they still lost. peopl think it's gonna be the second half Lakers the rest of the series when they couldn't miss and Denver was playing bad. Denver still got this.
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
Denver is incredible, but I think the Lakers have what it takes.
Everything talking like Ham figured out the formula for joking like Malone isn’t aware and is not going to adjust as well
GO NUGGETS
Lets get this 2nd game!!!!!
Mike Malones speech was better. They won and he still told them they needed to do better while also acknowledging what they did right. This will be a tough fought series, Nuggets are going to have to play with more intensity and energy when on the road. LA road crowd is gonna be tough with all eyes on them. If they can steal just one road win that'll be huge.
"Do what we need to do" wow great motivational speech coach 😅 just keep handing the ball to bron to close the game out, it should be a wrap no CHICKEN
no ones listening to his cookie cooker box standard responses
Malone was reading off a stat sheet. Anyone can read stats off a stat sheet.
Ham was speaking from the heart.
2 fantastic coaches!!
Well Well Well,,, What did I tell you Laker/Bron groupies. The refs been helping Lalers all playoffs and now they playing a team who healthy and can shoot. 👉🏿 🧹🧹🧹🧹
