I am the biggest laker fan in the world and i cried after last night loss bcause it felt like 2 losses this series is over because guess what jamal murray is 18-48 in the first 2 games and shooting 28% from 3 and guess what? they are still up 2-0 Murray is going to play better
@@IENetworkTV Stop Crying The Denver Team Barely Beat The Lakers Last Night it took a Lucky Shot From Murry ,Denver is a 1 and Done The Lakers are Exposing Them , AR Did Not Have his Game ,Rui Did Not Have his Game , and The nRefs Gave nThe Denver PhAGGOTTS The Game , Game 3 Different Story
only way the lakers are going to be able to win a game in this series is if at least either lebron or ad plays really good, d-Lo plays good, the bench plays good, and the refs give them a helping hand in the 4th quarter. I got the nuggets in 5.
They keep talking about how the Lakers can play better, but not the Nuggets, the Nuggets haven't played well at all and they still are up 2-0
Exactly

Agreed 💯

With over 50% shooting, too.

😂😂 sometimes it's convenient to casually ignore greatness when it goes up against your team... there's too many dimensions to Joker's game

Tore their heart out... showed it to them... and then kicked them into the grave.
Straight Murked
And I love it!!
27 pts 9-16 shooting, 20 reb, 10 assists and AD shut him down 😂…cmon LeSean
LeSean is totally delusional, he is like FUN boy, but this is stupid take!!!
Y’all weren’t watching the first half obviously. He was working Jokić out until the second half
@@DEEiBe He was working Jokic? Jokic had a double double by the end of the first quarter. What planet are some of you on? Absolute delusion.
@@canadian0099 He was NOT efficient though! You cannot stop Jokic, you can only slow him down by making him less efficient! Which he did. Do you guys only look at stats or do you actually watch the games?
@@DEEiBe I watched the whole game. Jokic was very efficient in the first quarter. Double double. The rest of his team was largely ice cold. Maybe watch it again or get your eyes checked. Edit: I get it, y’all are looking for reasons to try and discredit the man or poke holes in his game. There’s a media campaign happening for a few years now and it’s exhausting to listen to and watch.
They keep talking about the Lakers “best” but the Nuggets have played poorly in both games.
Definitely could be because they can't
SO HAS THE LAKERS ROLE PLAYERS & BENCH💡
James jones mention that lol nuggets isn’t playing their best aside from mpj and jokic nuggets were 0-20 from 3 u kno they’ll hit them next game
Jokic had a historic game and Murray is mad clutch, but the Nuggets can play better? GTFOH.
Exactly
How Joy has this platform and her only take is to ask role players to be super stars for 4 games straight.. is beyond me.
I agree, as a woman. She's not one of the better females that run these shows. However, the guys on this show talk so fast and are overbearing and lashawn and echo are both so loud. It's a lot. But yeah, Malika and Molly are both better
Women talking Men’s Sports--LITERALLY NO ONE ASKED FOR OR WANTS THIS
She didn't do that. She said play up to their capabilities. ARe you going to tell me Rui is a 3 point a game scorer? That AR is a 9 points a game scorer? These guys may not be superstars but they certainly contribute more to the Lakers games than what they've been doing. That's all she was saying. 2 of the starters are not playing up to their potential therefore the Lakers aren't giving you their best. Also, look at the bench. They aren't stepping up either and that's crucial.
Well cause she's got a great rack which sells.
@@benjaminsmith2287 AR has proven this year that his capabilities aren't what they paid him for, same for Rui. Teams get tape on you and then things change unless you're really that guy. And we both agree they're not super stars. But the pressure is on the super stars because it's their job to do THEIR job EVERY NIGHT. So an Anthony Davis getting into foul trouble forces role players into HAVING to fill shoes that aren't their size. To be fair as well.. the rotations shrink in the playoffs.. so that doesn't help them get into the kind of groove you'd see in the regular season. I do think the role players need to step up.. but the stars need to close out a 20 point lead on the road.
Shady is cappin Jokic scored on AD in 4th quarter on every fkin possesion
Joy smoking that good stuff. This was the lakers best punch
Rui was 1-7 missed two dunks lol mane stop
@@gwahighlightskeep being delusional 😂
@@gwahighlightswho?😂
What's up with her attitude
I got something she can smoke
I’m not sure how Jokic got ‘shut down’ by AD 😂 the dude had 27/20/10 while shooting 9/16
These takes are a good indicator for gauging the sentiment of a delusional lakers fan.
Joy is full of it. What does she expect, all the starting 5 in LA to shoot 25 points? What team is going to play Perfect. Not the nuggets. Not the Lakers. Just stop it
For real so delusional
The Lakers can’t play any better than they did last night and it still wasn’t enough
That’s pretty much what she’s saying which makes zero sense because that’s not how basketball works
That’s pretty much what she’s saying which makes zero sense because that’s not how basketball works
I agree and I like Joy but she was definitely off this segment
Jamal didn't play his best either.
He has been pretty horrible besides the 4th quarter last night
Jamal came up clutch when they needed him to do so. Other guys put the ball in the basket enough and the whole team kept the Lakers down enough to tie and then win the game. You can have Jamal and Joker play their best and the Nuggets lose. A lot of the time, your two best players playing their best and the rest of the team well below results in losses, not wins.
If shutting down Jokic means 32-12-7 and 27-20-10 then I must have a different definition of shut down…
I love how nobody here brought up LeBron missing a WIDE OPEN 3 to win the game
The only thing bad about it was he took it to early everybody miss🤷🏿♂️
Because one shot don't determine that Game
Because he’s the main reason Denver wasn’t up like 8 in the 4th 😂. Everyone else on the Lakers was gassed.
@@chuckmoney21620 that one shot was with 7 seconds left and would've put the lakers up 3....
Reaves missed a 3, Rui missed a 3, Lebron hit 2 threes before missing the last one. But yeah its completely his fault lol I love how everyone talks about Jamals game winner but nobody talks about MPJ hitting his 3
wtf did shady and joy watch the lakers have 0% chance of making this a series
Shady said AD was clamping Joker LOL he had 10pts & 10ast after the first QTR
End of the game Jokic just took it at him too. Really Denver is just messing around. I'd be shocked if Lakers win more than a game. Murray hasn't had an efficient shooting game yet, pretty sure he'll wake up and have a monster
I wish they'd get at least one person on here for these basketball segments that actually knows basketball, Shady's delusion was pissing me off
You know nothing about basketball
Agreed. 3 football players and Joy make the basketball segments almost unbearable.
Agreed 💯
Right
You ain't gotta know basketball to know the Lakers are done.
Shady and Joy are officially insane 🤣😂
Smoking that copium
@@RR-in7do fat blunts of it
If you’re the Lakers, this is a demoralizing loss because you played the best you could for majority of the game and they still walked you down in the 4th quarter
Hunted them and sniped them
the Lakers others haven't played their best yet. Rui and Austin are capable of matching KCP and Porters production but haven't materialized.
Not really. They made a lot of shots but that wasn't the most balanced team effort they've had for a win.
Nah this the game that can make or break u lit a fire under u or never let it light at all
They act like 20 pints with 10 mins to go in the 3rd is alot wen we saw LeBron himself beat clippers from being down 20 n the 4th let alone a quarter in a half
WTF game is Shady watching? Did he not watch the 4th quarter where Joker literally BODIED AD on EVERY SINGLE PLAY. They must just get passed notes of what to say before the show airs..... its pathetic.
Yall love to hate acho but he the only one looking past the BS. Lakers are done
Big FACTS😂😂
The Lakers will come back and win the whole damm series watch when I tell you. I'm going to speak it into existence that Lakers is going to win 4 out of the last 5 games you can take that to the bank 🏦
Red Velvet Acho 😂😂
Acho trash takes are bad but this one might be on point
@@mr.wardellwright2219😂😂😂😂
Joy is confusing the Lakers playing their best game, with the Lakers playing a perfect game.
She was pushing a rock up a hill
Yeah her takes are making zero sense, ive never seen all the role players on a team all have good games and even if they do how tf they going to do it 4 times? The nuggets just playing with their food, first real competition will be Boston (Maybe clippers can put up a fight if everyone healthy)
@@fkscopes the nuggets are trying obviously playing with your food is hyperbolic
You haven't seen Lakes games where all 5 starters had at least 15 points. Or at least 4 out of 5 and the other having a good amount of rebounds and/or assists? That's what Joy is talking about. Reaves is one of the main guys on the team and him scoring 9 is not good enough.
Lakers have been far from perfect. They shut down in the second half
I'm a Lakers fan but last night was embarrassing. Can't put it on the refs this was on the coaching staff and players.
LeBron is to blame when LA loose
Man when you can’t blame the refs, you know deep down you lost and it’s over.
Facts man I feel like we lost all hope this game
I expected the lakers to struggle but get away with one win by a point. They really needed that split.
@@rasliburd2179 The whole team is to blame.
So 27-20-10 is being shutdown?
All im hearing is If If If
That’s all I am hearing too. A lot of if.
and their if's only apply to the Lakers 🤦🏻♂️
Jamal Murray is going to go off for 37 in game three, guaranteed!
He is due for a big game thats the crazy part lol
Right… I think that shot unlocked another level in his game. Confidence will be through the roof
You know it's over when you see AD chillin on the Nuggets bench while Nuggets players were celebrating the Murray shot.
He had to admire the shot from a winning bench. Don't blame him
😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂
He got caught up in the mob!
AD is tired after balling hard for 40 minutes… Joy: UNACCEPTABLE She coo coo
Klutch Sports must pay y’all well! 😂
Jokic cooked Davis in the clutch time in the 4th quarter 3 straight buckets. Ended with 27 20 10. He dominated AD in the end.
Well, Aaron Gordon was the one guarding AD in the end…
News flash…everyone on the lakers team can’t score 20 plus points in a game joy
That midrange game is so dangerous, deadly and underrated
Right because anyone knows when your down just get buckets and play defense
That and the post are the lost art of basketball
Yes the midrange is dangerous, so much for the bulls couldn't have competed with modern teams huh? They'd have dominated. Golden State changed basketball for a while, but real basketball will prevail.
@@stasonsteagall356that’s why denver is such a breath of fresh air. You have joker who actually plays like a center down low and Murray who’s a mid range assassin
It’s like running qbs. Might be flashy but in the end reading the defense sitting in the pocket will always prevail.
Joy you didn't say anything about LeBron scoring 4 points in the 4 quarter the first game
The Lakers snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory 😂😂
The Nuggets snatched victory out of defeat.
AD did not shut Joker down. Joker is shooting 53% from the field against AD if that is shutting him down then ok😂😂😂.
Haha
Shady never said shut joker down, he said AD dominated him. AD went 14-15 against Jokic and the Lakers failed to get him the ball afterwards. Aaron Gordon didn’t shut AD down, Darvin Ham failed to give him the ball in the 2nd half. Both of those games were in the Lakers hands and they failed to close. Lakers will defend home court and close it out in games 7
@@mauriceanderson1583 No he didn't he said AD suppose to guard Joker because he shut him down listen the video again.
@@mauriceanderson1583 Stop blaming your coach Lebron is the point guard he should've made sure AD got the ball.

@@masonr5677 I didn't. I left a comment and dipped.
lol the media knows lakers bout to get eliminated and and squeezing as much laker Content as possible
It's almost like you have to win 4 games? Christ yall some 🤡🤡🤡
How crazy for sports media to cover sports. I want to hear about the weather. That's how stupid you sound.
Shady is dumb
Bron didn’t share the rock with AD he played hero ball went away from the pick and roll with AD
Watched too much media blast him for his usual 4th qtr disappearing act…you’re 100% correct. LeBron wanted to be the hero of the game and in the process he took his team out of rhythm and they collapsed.
He slowed the game down and we all know what happened. James was playing by himself!
You know what kills me LeBron did the same thing in the first game in the fourth quarter LeBron didn't do anything but people don't say nothing about that Anthony Davis is doing good in the first game Anthony Davis did it in his second game and they keep acting like that's the reason they lost no the reason they lost cuz LeBron couldn't hit that three-point shot😅
The reason why the Lakers lost is the Nuggets scored more points. Nuf sed.
@@larrycoleman1145no they lost cause lebron dropped 12 in the 4th. Rest of the team had 8. AD had ZERO. 😂😂😂😂 u haters are something else.
Why they are talking about losing team and not give credit to the winning team.
It's called a wore out, sad NARRATIVE 🏀😂😂😂😂😂GO NUGGETS...
Because that’s what the media does. Especially if the other team has a popular player on it. That’s the same thing they did to Dawn Staley and South Carolina after winning the national championship. All you heard was Caitlin Clark this and Caitlin Clark that.🤦🏽♀️ The media picks favorites, and Lebron James is one of them. Yes, he and Caitlin Clark are amazing basketball players, but give credit where credit is due, instead of chasing after views.
@@moniquej369 Caitlin Clark is a phenom though hard to ignore.
You right about that because they always try to get LeBron a pass LeBron missed a wide open 3 they not talking about that they're not talking about how he missed that free throw did not talk about how he didn't get the ball to Anthony Davis in the fourth quarter always try to get him a pass they lost because he missed that three 👍😄
@@Revanthorn so is Lebron James, but that doesn’t mean him and Caitlin always deserve the spotlight. South Carolina and Dawn Staley made history, yet everyone chose to talk about the loser. Like I said, give credit where credit is due.
The demoralizing thing about this loss is despite going off in the last 5 mins of the game Jamal Murray had an horrible game so i doubt he'll continue to have bad games
I love their optimism and the nuggets haven’t played their best ball yes also. Nuggets been taking over the second half
Its hard to say wether Joy hates Jokic or Rodgers more
Don’t forget purdy
Basically anyone white.
they keep talking about how AD shut Jokic down. Somehow though, the Joker still had a 27, 20, 10 game, stats that only Kareem Abdul Jabar, and Wilt Chamberlain have ever achieved, I wouldn't call that shutting him down...
8 times in history, Jokić did that 4 times
@@muzzabrunotti In the playoffs. Some other guy did in the playoffs as well but he's not in the conversation of all time greats.
I can't believe they're trying to blame AD for the loss, he got in foul trouble and still did what he could, and LeBron hit 2 three's, but missed the one they really needed, nobody mentioned that part 🤨
And LeBron scored half his points in the 4th…AD isn’t a ball handler, he can’t help when everyone else is taking the shots and not getting him the ball… And the foul trouble was a major factor, good call.
This is wild commentary 😂
The Lakers played the best game they could for 46 min and the Nuggets still kept it close and walked them down
and that's why the Nuggets are the defending champions
Shady lives in a fantasy world of hypotheticals😂😂😂. "If that if this"
Joy don’t know basketball
She talks like someone who says they like basketball but has never seen anything outside of a box score.
It’s over coming from a lakers fan if we can’t beat them up 20 what makes u think we gonna win at all ?!
Facts. I'm a Lakers fan and game 1 was bad but that loss last night was painful and demoralizing
@@rayhamilton682 embarrassing
Why does Joy hate Joker so much? Seems like she always roots for him to fail.
She's probably one of those people that would tell you that "he's bad for ratings".
She's been that way for years.
It’s because Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets dominated her favorite team in the NBA finals last year. She is a huge Miami Heat fan.
If the nuggets actually make their 3’s it would have been a blowout. You can put all the ifs you want on this but no matter what if is thrown out the nuggets keep beating the lakers.
Again y’all don’t say nothing about Bron. AD was 14-19. Bron was 9-19. In the 3rd quarter, with Caldwell-Pope guarding him, Bron did not take advantage of that mismatch. First game was his 7 turnovers.
glad dude on the end finally admitted it's over 😂
So basically the Lakers only need to have a perfect game from all their players to win. Sure why not.
Joy, smfh. What you fail to mention. This is about as good as a team could play against a team that couldnt play much worse.
Joy is just sounding like a delusional cultist at this point. So sad.
Joy needs to be fired, and she sounds stupid. Next, she going to say they need more from the ball boy and trainer.
I always find it unnerving how the so-called "national "sports talk shows are so blatantly biased to the Lakers. They also tend to favor the celebrity players like Stephen Curry, and big market teams like New York Knicks. That's why NFL is king. You just don't see that kind of biased with NFL coverage. Even former players tend to mask their bias towards their former team.
Joy stop it
Why acho keep saying AD was tired ?? He wasn’t getting the ball , when Bron plays hero ball most likely AD not getting the ball
Exactly! Still blaming AD instead of Mister Basketball IQ!
Joy is an idiot for this taken of course it’s not the best game the lakers could play. In that same breath it’s SUPER evident that the nuggets didn’t play their best game either. It goes both ways.
Joy: "Why don't the Lakers be more like the Nuggets?"
Sound very stupid looking for formulas. AD has never shutdown Jokic
8:11 SHADY IS COPING SO HARD 😂
6-0 > 4-6

@@deemity7557Winning 25-26 playoff series in 8 years (MJ) once you get a co-star > losing to Mavs, old Spurs, some jump shooters (trolling)
Lebron wanted to close the game instead of feeding AD! It’s Lebron’s fault that AD wasn’t getting the ball. Quit acting like AD didn’t show up in the 4th. Lebron wants to be the man instead of giving up the reigns to AD!
Seriously, he got 1 shot 😂 He’s a Center, not a ball handler…Bron just wanted credit for the win and you could tell all 4th quarter.
It's not over. Never count Adam silver and the reefs out

Yea it's over
I told you so!😅Denver 4-0 0r 4-1😂
Don’t count Adam silver out
@@Dipset415 😅🤣😂
She expects that the role-players to play better. That's why they are role players. I mean the Pistons would have won more games, if their role players had played better.
Who is a role player on the team? Because I do expect guys who brought you to the playoffs to play up to their capabilities in some games. Basketball is best with balanced scoring so that everyone gets involved. Joy is saying the starters, especially Reaves, has to play better. Reaves is the 3rd or 4th best player on the team, depending on what night it is, so he should be expected to get more than 9 points in the game. Reaves is capable of 16/6/8 and that's what I want to see out of him. Rui is capable of at least 10 points and rebounds as well. So, Joy is not saying they should put up the type of numbers as Bron or AD or DLo on a good night, but just put up more than they are. What's so wrong with that? And has the bench done anythng beyond Prince? A really good team has a solid 6th man and the Lakers don't have that.
Shady keeps saying that AD shut Joker down but look at Joker’s stats. AD did not shut Joker down. The numbers don’t lie!
Joker's teammates did more to shut him down in the 1st half.....Murray and Reggie Jackson running the point looked him off several times when he had mismatches to jack up lower percentage shots.
What about Lebron chucking up a wide open 3-pointer with 17 seconds left on the shot clock? No mention of that anywhere from the LeMedia.
4:23 joy ever Balled professionally before? She needs to hush on this one
The nuggets have played mediocre at best what you think is gonna happen if they play good. McCoy us clueless Jokic was not getting dominated Davis made shots Jokic put a triple double on you he had the best stat line of both teams and that’s getting dominated
Why is nobody saying it? This was a coaching mismatch not a basketball mismatch. The Lakers coaching staff could not get the extra mile out of their players and Denver could period. Nothing more nothing less
Joy is going to CRY IN THE CAR LATER😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Joy needs to stop talking.
Yeah blame AD it is never Lebron 😂😂😂.
AD has clearly been the best player on their team and it’s not even a debate 😂
Shady definitely doesn't need to talk basketball. Talking bout the lakers bench scored well etc. Lakers played about 85% as good as they can while the nuggets played about 65% as good as they can, and still lost. That's what Shady is not understanding
Woman how AD could give more when LeBron went and play padding stat ball forget what was working for them in 3 quarter
They don’t ever blame LeBron!
LeBron completely destroyed the rhythm of that offense trying to play hero ball down the stretch… But LeMedia is too scared to speak the truth.
@@NostalgikOne exactly they don’t even mention that point!
The lakers can play great and the nuggets can still beat them playing subpar.
Why is shady and joy trying so hard to blame this on AD?
cuz they love Lebron
@@FlyyHigh834 definitely it shows
He didn't score in the 4Q. It isn't blaming him it is saying he had it going so what happened? Also, AD is the best player on the Lakers now. LeBron is past his prime. He's still great but AD is the best player.
@@benjaminsmith2287 true but also shady also admitted he didn't watch the game so he looking at the stats and going off the head with his bad takes....if he watched he would see the Lakers started taking the ball his hands and let LeBron have ball just to start scoring with all it did was took out of rhythm with only taking 1 shot in the 4th quarter compared to LeBron 12 shots in the 4th
It’s very simple. The Lakers lost because of the bench not scoring and Darvin Ham getting out coached. AD did his part.
Lakers bench scored 6 and Nuggets scored 12 Shady said the Lakers bench played well 😂
Jordan 🐐 Lebron 🫏
Jokic going to be the 🐐
@@kingmomo6312we shall see
It’s not impossible for LA to get these games at home … but I think it’s gonna take Denver losing it more than LA winning it The craziest part about last night was joker didn’t play all that well.. and finished with 27-20-10 lmao
100%
How come the goat needs every player on his team to score 25 points for him to win and if they don't it's not his fault. Every other all-time great would have to pick up the slack for other players not playing well and would get wins this guy had an outstanding performance by Anthony Davis a great performance by D'Angelo Russell LeBron only has to close it out and he didn't and instead of saying that for him to take it home as the greatest of all time from what I hear they've still blame it on them not being great for the whole game
You all forget the one reason. AD did not disappear in the 4th. He touched the ball like 2 times because at 8 minutes left in the 3rd Malone called a TO and subduedly switch AG on AD and SG shut down AD in a defensive school. That was the turning point.
Joy be spitting out terrible takes on purpose I’m convinced
Give Dave his flowers homies. Stat based humble takes. 🌺 Dave vs Shady used to make Speak! 🗣️ Wish Dave had a permanent seat which he earned. Cowboys vs Eagles talk, is entertaining with them. Plus Dave gives reasonable takes, without pushing false narratives. Not annoying like Skip’s Cowboys takes.
Agreed. But at the end of the day, this is an entertainment. They go with the people who bring in the most viewers. In order to get viewers you have to lean one side or the other. You can't be neutral anymore. Most viewers don't want honest and fact based takes. They want to hear what they want to hear. So Lebron's fans will seek any commentators who would say favorable things about their guy. And people who are not Lebron's fans want to hear people who would criticize him. So that is why most of these sports talk show only talk about topics that has the most fanbase and have one person against and one person support. It is sad that the world has gotten to but it doesn't matter because this is sports so it has no impact on people's lives. But we have this mindset for politics as well which is very bad.
@@sportsavant2937I like the balance he brings
Didn't have the right complexion
Jamal Murray and KCP haven’t played their best either
Joy everyone can’t show up there’s only one ball. The reason Aaron Gordon on AD worked is because of his athleticism and because Rui was no longer included in the game which gave joker time to rest on the court. Then KCP can now defend a tired Lebron
Joy trippin The lakers played there best game since lebron been there💯of course Denver was going to to walk them down that level wasn’t sustainable🤙🏿down the stretch Jamal was having a horrible game and Jokic kept going to him💯AD was having the game of his life and down the stretch lebron tried to make it all about him and when it failed he blamed the refs😭
They didn't play their best game. Their second half was a struggle. A bunch of guys on their team didn't play up to their capabilities. If Rui plays up to his capabilities, the Lakers win. If Reaves goes into "I'm Him" mode, the Lakers win. If Dinwiddie gets it going off the bench, the Lakers win. It's not a one man game even if the superstars ball out and your starting PG is knocking down most of his 3s. Lakers couldn't score over stretches of the game and at times AD said they didn't know what they were doing. So, let's stop this myth that the Lakers played their best game.
The only hope the lakers have is the fact that twice they got out to a big lead. Credit to Denver for not giving up but Denver can't keep going down 15 plus and expect to win every game. Expecially against other teams.
denver hasnt even played a good game yet and la cant win
