Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
If the Lakers won Nick would be shouting from the mountaintops. Instead he’s saying everybody else is “over reacting”. Nick is the king of over reacting.
Everyone else is overreacting and NOW it's time for the NBA to "look at Denver's altitude advantage" 🤣
He just keeps cashing those checks from Klutch.
lol y’all stay on his head with the lakers take’s because with the chiefs, nick is going to run it up.
U would do the same. Don't cap
Yeah man, we know. This is why we love him lol
Here after the lakers choked a 20 point lead 😂
Me too
🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
Brou, "It's Over!"😂😂😂
Suprised Nick didn't bring out a graphic of teams that come back from a 1-0 deficit.
😂😂😂😂
Best comment
I like Nick, he do be having them graphics though. Lol
I was expecting that too lol
Hahahahaha
I haven't seen the video but Nick's probably gonna be like "lakers got the nuggets right where they wanted them"
Yeah. He said even if down 2 games 0 still have a chance. Meaning lakers would have to win 4 out of 5 games after losing 11 straight
Yeah, there's no analysis in the guy. It's called "Sticking to your guns." Thats all he does, he's gonna grasp at straws, digging up what he deem as silver lining stats to make a delusional argument. He said he gave Jokic his respect last season, No, Joker took, neigh ripped his respect from him like he took his lunch money by wiping out his team and any argument he can possible make.
@@TheStrawThatStirsTheDrink 😂😂😂
People just be saying anything now without even watching. Not what he said at all.
@@cyclops444 Calm down meat boy
Nick Wright would give LeBron both his kidneys...
And it still wouldn't be enough. Plus, I think they're reserved for #15 in Kansas City
Nick Wright would give LeBron his children's kidneys
So would I! But to be honest, they would still lose.
He's paid to talk up Lebalco.
Yes he is that delusional!!!
"The NBA needs to take a look at this altitude thing." - lol
😆😆😆😆😆😆
NFL needs to look into the snow advantage that the Packers and Bills have, and the heat advantage that Dolphins and Bucs have.
Jokic turning those yellow Lakers into his minions
Good one
BARS!
😂😂😂😂
LeBron. I am your Father.
Shut up man
Came to see nick wrong cope and seethe was not disappointed 🤣
got to get him on the lakers takes because the chiefs ones that won’t be a bunch of that
Yeah, after he cooked you the whole football season you have to get your revenge
2020 was fun he talked crazy about Brady and the Bucs all year only for them to destroy the chiefs in the SB.
@@Travis89-ob5tt it’s 2024 bro. ain’t no more brady. get settled in bro, because it’s going to be a while before nick is wrong with the chiefs.
@@Travis89-ob5ttNever seen people glorify a covid ring with no fans so much
I understand that none of Lakers losses were a blowout, but if you lose 9 straight games to the same team it is time to accept that you are just not on their level
6 of those were double digit wins
@@DammitBobby which makes my point even stronger 🤣 Lakers are not a bad team but Nuggets are just on another level
The games that weren’t blowouts are normally when Denver basically spots them a lead and then decides to play forreal after the 1st quarter 😂
Some teams just have the perfect pieces to neutralize you. I know the chiefs are the chiefs but even when bengals look like trash, then they play KC it always looks different. Denver is just too strong and tall to get bullied by the lakers. Unless two people have a bad game on the nuggets, the lakers can’t beat em. If one has a bad game, then suddenly mpj is like “I’ll get 27 tonight to help out”
@@ZACKSTACK1204😂they lock in second half everytime, never seen anything like it
Time to watch Nicholas cope 😂😂😂😂
Yes. This is pure, unadulterated bliss ☺️
Yeah, after you coped the whole football season when he cooked you daily😂😂😂😂
@Dean543-cc3fd Lmao how did he cook me, and how was I coping?? Hello? Wtf are you talking about 💀💀
Complaining about altitude now😂😂
I love when Wildes make Nick look like a barbershop sports analyst.
They blamed Vogel, he’s gone, they blamed Westbrook, he’s gone, now they blaming DLo, they gonna run out of people to blame soon
They were blaming AD for a while too with his injuries. Got to blame anyone not named lebron.
All those guys deserve blame. They didn't do or aren't doing their jobs
@@jctsliceThat isn't how it used to be though. You couldn't be a superstar on a team, keep losing and escape blame. If you scored 35 and lost then next time you better score 50, but Lebron fans and the media is fine with giving him every excuse under the sun. Absolutely pathetic
@@Maxrepfitgm Nah, actually, you could lol. It happened for years with KD until he went to GSW where every loss primarily was put on Russ or the coach. KD himself even blamed the coach 😂
Never lechuckles fault amazingly
This is the part that kills me. They said lakers should want denver now because they’ll be fresh.. then they say lebron ran out of gas when he looked anemic in the 2nd half. You can’t make this up man
Seriously…the script just follows the results. You’re 100% correct because every “analyst” has said this exactly!
I don't like the narrative that LeBron ran outta gas. If resting 3 days isn't enough for him to have enough "gas in the tank" for Game 1... Might as well not have him play, cuz if that's the narrative, how's anyone expect him to go a full series?
You can't make it up, but they have, can, and will make it up as long as he's in the league.
@@Maxrepfitgm almost 2 decades of excuses lol
He shrinks when it matters the most 😂
Denver 3 LA 0
Wright: The series hasn’t started yet!
but the Lakers have figured them out !
another competitive sweep and moral victory.....😁😁
That’s when you start counting how many quarters each team won
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, there would be a 0.00000013445% chance of a Lakers series victory and Nick's a math-guy.
Nick's doing more gymnastics in this clip than Olivia Dunne in a TikTok video. 🤣
Ikr🤣🤣🤣😂😂it's the "altitude" take for me😂😂🤣🤣 Nick is hilarious🤣🤣😂
Who’s here after lakers blew a 20 point 3rd quarter lead 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know what surprised me more. The Mavs scoring 8 points in the 2nd quarter, or the 8th seed Pelicans, without Zion, taking the 1 seed down to the wire.
Everyone but Nick thought the Nuggets were going to win, so that's not surprising 😅
There's a reason people were saying that they are the weakest 1-seed ever.
Lakers in 19
years
@@MarvyG23 When Jokic retires
😂😅
😅😅😅😅😅
Nick: “Lakers have the Nuggets right where they want them. Especially if they lose the second game too.” 😂
What Brou said aged well after tonight’s game especially 😂
Gotta keep it real, THIS series is over.
Nuggets gonna win regardless, just a matter of whether or not Lakers can make it competitive
Was over soon as Nuggets finished third and lakers 7th. You know for a fact they tried to lose against New Orleans.
Not until the clock says 0:00 but me being a LBJ stan...it doesn't look good 😞
@@user-jb6lp6bu7bnuggets finished second not third
Overreacting kids man. I’ve seen teams go down 3-1 and come back to win. I watched the warriors do it with baron davis. It’s possible. I’m pretty sure lebron is better than baron davis and dirk was just as good as jokic
Altitude-Gate 😂
That was the most pathetic cope Nick has ever said and that says a lot lol how you gonna "look into" the altitude 😂
@@bb_arcadia5752it’s a joke bro
Utah has the same advantage, last time I checked they have 0 chips
Nicks going to lose his mind after that second lost 😂😂
Never forget that Nick said: Cavs in 5
This age really well, my nugget just comeback from 20 points deficit and win on the buzzer hahahahahahahaha
Nick is fighting for his life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
His nose getting bigger each day
13:58 Wildes was loving every sec of Brou’s take lmao 😂
Lakers fan since 98. Nuggets in five.
🧹🧹🧹🧹
Who is back here just after that painful Lakers loss 😢??
Was so good!
What must they do? Check their watch and wait until they can leave for Cancún.
The fact that Denver won and all they talked about was the Lakers is wild 😂
Coming back here after LeBron just BRICKED a wide open 3 that led the nuggets to a game 2 win.... just perfect. Nick WRONG
and he shot TERRIBLY at the rim (was 2/7 at one point)
10 straight now lol 😅 nuggets in 4
D.Lo outscored Murray and the Lakers still lost 😂
brou literally taking wildes’ take about the lakers knowing its over after mocking wildes last week is crazy 😂
Can't wait to hear Nick on this one, love the show keep up the good work
Oh Nick Wright..you'll be wrong again.
Nick Wright let’s see how you spin this one
Nick Wright says Lakers win by D low hitting his 3's, Jamal not have a 30 plus game, Davis have a spectacular game, and LeBron have mid 20's. Well D low hit 7 3's, Davis had 30+ points, Jamal had only 20 points, and LeBron had over 25..... and the Lakers still lost.
welp.... glad I didn't see this until after game 2.
They can look into the altitude thing when the nba stops the refs from favoring the lakers by such large margin lmao. 102 shot attempts to 79 and you only get 6 free throws? Give me a break. Ad was mugging jokic every other possession and they didn’t call it one time 😂
They should look at the altitude thing and make more arenas different to play at. Maybe some team could build an arena in Death Valley.
Nick, how about we make it a concern and look into the Lakers having 13 more FTA than Denver? You get +13 FTA and you still lose by 11 rofl
I wonder what Nicks excuse will be today 😂💀
DLo shot 6-20 in Game 1 and LeBron shot exactly the same 6-20 in the play-in vs Pels…
LeBron gets credit for the Pels win…
DLo gets majority of the blame for the Game 1 loss
😂😂😂 the media is funny
Exactly. Bron was literally HORRIBLE in the 2nd half of game 1. Not only did he have more turnovers than points or shot attempts (lol) dude wasn’t even hardly trying to get back on defense when he turned it over
@@juicelord4792bruh he’s 40 years old I don’t get what idiots like you expect when something like that happens. When he gives it his all and is the reason why they’re up 12 in the second q OTHER guys have to step up and help out he can’t dominate for 48 minutes anymore because of his age and Injuries how is that hard to comprehend
@@JUSTYN23 i expect him to retire. he sound like he's too old to be playing. you cant celebrate him when he drops good statistical numbers while winning, but in the same breath, say he's too old what do you expect when he doesnt win with good numbers or not.
@@maxb4318 again. He had a great first half set his team up with a good lead and the role players couldn’t do anything . Not his fault that they can’t win unless he’ dominates for 48 straight minutes. Hold them accountable why should he have to retire cause they can’t play good.
@@JUSTYN23 LeBron literally plays like trash in the 2nd half with more TO’s than fg attempts and points yet it’s the rest of the teams fault because they’re reliant on a 40 year old still being paid like a superstar 😂🤣😂
Denver winning by double digits with Murray having a bad game means it is over
Nick blaming the altitude😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Game 2 is a must win for Lakers. They are not beating Nuggets in four of five games
This has to be one of the most delussional takes I've ever heard
“All the reasons I said the Lakers had a chance were correct” uh no. You said if Jamal didn’t have an insane series you’d have a chance. Jamal didn’t have a great game and Lakers still lost lol
Jamal did have a great game. Led both team in assists with 10, and 0 turnovers. Also, Jokic had 0 turnovers. And LeBron had 7 turnovers.
@@penkima4923 he also shot 9-24 and had 22 points. Listen to what Nick said again - “Jamal was averaging his most points in the Lakers series with 35 points! He won’t do that again!”
@@brianogrady3185 he averaged 32
@@penkima4923 they need to force them to commit TOs to win. They need something to equalize the matchup a little bit because Denver has been owning them
@@jctslice He averaged 33 ppg.
Nick wrong, why did Lefraud run out of gas? He had 3 days off and don’t play defense. He’s just a choker and not a closer!😂
Because as you age, it's easier to run out of gas
He’s 39
@@gratitude8959he should retire then …if he’s still playing and he plays good and y’all praise him please do keep that energy when he doesn’t.

Lakers have had 9 straight moral victories, congrats guys
They also have 17 chips to Denver’s 1, so . . . Congrats guys
@@matthewstuart840how long have they been around as supposed to Denver? Stop it Klay Thompson.
@@matthewstuart840I bet you’ll deny the Lakers have 3x more free throws shot than the second most free throw attempts team over the last 2 years. They’ve shot 1,000 more free throws than the league average and the second most team the NYK have shot 300 more than the league average. But no… the lakers are just good.
@@sedohemaDenver started in 1976. Since then, the Lakers have like a dozen titles chief
@@DJ_Cub😂 Blamin the refs and conspiracy theories. The desperate losers argument 😂
How is it not over? Denver has won 9 straight, Lebron and AD will never be this well rested again, Murray was mediocre, and Denver still won by 11. Denver is just the better team, period. How much more evidence do you need?
When it comes to LeBron (or the Chiefs), Nick doesn't necessarily need evidence. Zero objectivity.
It's not over because the Lakers still have LeBron. He has shown that it's not over until he has that 4th loss. If 2016 taught us anything, it's that LeBron can never be fully counted out until he gets that 4th loss. Until then, it's not over
@@jctslice Lebron is 39 bro. 2016 lebron could dominate for 48 minutes. 2024 lebron is a shell of himself in the second half of every game.
Let me guess, it was close as it's been close the last 9 times they've lost in a row.
Nick Wright: “they were literally the 9 closest losses in the history of the NBA, so close, I’d call them good losses” 😂
The media hate for the Nuggets is real from Nick
Nick contorting his entire being to try and convince people the Lakers have a chance is legit bad tv. Both Wildes and Brou know this is a gimmick and Nick arguing this as if it’s a high school debate session is boring.
Speak for yourself love watching nick squirm, lol
That's every sport show. Where have you been?
Crazy lakers up 20 rn in the 3rd. This segment is actually making Brou & Wildes look like clowns. I can already see the edits being made right now of Brou saying “it’s over” and then laker highlights lol.
@@whatyoutalkinbout71dude you’re speaking way too soon 😂😂😂 it’s already a 9 point game with in the 3rd
@@gclay3176 nah fr I was gonna add that to my reply but rlly thought lakers would get it done 💀 Murray playing like dogsh*t
Lebron could go against the 92 dream team in a 7 game series at 50 years old and nick would somehow think LeBron has a chance to win ridiculous 😂😅
The fact that the Lakers didn’t even try to get Dwight Howard back
Nick with the altitude thing lmfao
The Lakers have no chance, the Nuggets are a way better team. No one has a chance against the nuggets in the west.
Minnesota will be tough
@@RageQuit29probably the only team that can give them a problem fr
Jokerman getting ready to dogwalk the Lakers again. love to see it😵💫
Lakers getting cooked by Gru
A week ago you were celebrating Dlo as a game changer and the x factor, and now you throw him under the bus. just lame
He is the X factor, I doubt they will win the series anyway but Dlo playing decent is the difference between another sweep and a 6 game series for LA
You don’t get thrown under the bus when you play like that. It was literally his fault! He was 6-20 from the floor. Took more shots than Bron
You must not have talked to many delusional Lakers fans or watched the national media long, which i don't blame you, i've lost intelligence that way.
@@Ptsd360LeBron was 6-20 vs the Pels in the play-in game and everyone gave him credit for the win…
But DLo goes 6-20 and the loss is all his fault?
That logic makes no sense
Because there is new information to look at. What dont yall understand about that? If it's daytime and u say that sun going to be blazin at 2p. Should he still say the sun is going to be blazin at 10p? No because we have new information that says the sun is not going to be blazin at 10p because it's now 10p and the sun went down. Duh
LeBron James stat padding, it's nice that he gets his points. But his turnovers and also his lack of effort on transition defense hurts the team. He's constantly standing around on defense and not getting back.
Watch and see if you can ever spot him boxing out for a rebound. It’s rare!
He's 39 years old lol he has to conserve energy on defense
Ah yes, Nick gonna Nick! 😅 😂
Nick Wright has the best job in the world. He continuously gets it wrong but gets to keep his job.
How do the nuggets have more points in the paint but barely shoot fts
That said... It's over 😂😂😂😂
Nick Wright blatantly met LeBron at a Diddy party
Nick: If Lakers are down 0-2, the series has just started.
Clown.
After game 2, series just started 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LeBron & AD were 37pts on 14-21 FGs combined at half-time, Jamal Murray was 3-11 at half-time & the Lakers were only up by 3. LeBron & AD can have the game of their lives & it still doesn't make a difference. It must be so demoralising
Here comes the 1000000000 excuses. 😂😂😂
Nick really is a G League Skip Bayless.
all those guys supporting the point that the Lakers should’ve lost to New Orleans to face OKC now looking good and sitting up straight. yeah Lakers were losing both matchups
Losing on purpose expecting a better match up is even worse
Lakers would beat OKC in 5 games
@@cesaroctaviosanchezgonzale9460 Lol keep coping
OKC struggled at home against the Pels without Zion Game 1. Lakers would win that series if it had happened.
Lmao it’s over buddy.
Denver is at freaking 1 mile high. Thats nothing.
There are major Libertadores soccer games in south america played at 2.5 miles high.
Imagine an NBA game in La Paz
Facts dude. Denver is nothing compared to Mexico City
Last season was the first NBA Finals the Nuggets have ever reached…
Where has their MAJOR altitude advantage been their entire franchise history? 😂
@@NostalgikOneTalent + Altitude
They’re grasping at straws, the Lakers lost in LA too so what’s the excuse for those games. lol
Dunking, Stealing... this is s better version of Jokic. Definitely better than last year.
AD played a great game. Jokic couldn't stop him. Although, not many could.
Hey Nick, the series was over before it started. The Lakers are not as good as the Nuggets. Nine in a row in basketball does not happen by chance.
doesn't Nick get tired of being constantly wrong?
"Closer sweep" coming up
No such thing as a close sweep. It's just a sweep 😂
Man find you a friend who stans you like Nick stans Lebron
Can't take Nick seriously if LeBron or the Lakers are involved in the topic.
Austin Reeves doesn’t want to be blamed but he doesn’t want to play bad either! His value would be greater on another team!
what’s wrong Jackson off the bench? and Braun?
If Lebron was out of gas in the first game of the first round how is that possibly going to get better
PEDs
Lakers could be down 4-0 and wright would still say “lakers have them right where they want them”
If it's 4-0, the series is already over 😂
Lakers fans. What are your plans for summer vacation after Saturdays season ending loss?
Knowing that Nick right is affiliated with Lebron’s camp makes all his positions invalid
The series being over is "a ridiculous claim," but "Lakers in six" isn't. That pretty much sums up Nick.
Let the Lescapegoating begin. DLo & Darvin Ham will get all the blame while lebron disappears in the 4th quarter every game because he's "out of gas." You can't make this stuff up .
Or because “he’s 39”
He led the league in. 4th quarter scoring this year
Blame for what though? He's 40 and his team sucks. Nobody outside of Nick wright thinks they actually have a chance. 2008 LeBron is two career lifespans ago.
@@Warden033 he got beat back then too. on top of that, he disappeared against boston as well.🤣
He was standing in the corner hiding from the ball because he didn’t want to hit 10 turnovers. He was getting close!
Nick would give Lebron 2 hands if he could , full diddy
ANYONE who keeps giving the lakers a shot, they even know the lakers will be lucky to win 1...this is a complete miss match
Nick is an NFL genius and an NBA fan.
I’m only here so Nick can talk me off the cliff once again.
He's a crank selling you copium
The Lakers can go down 3-0 and Nick will still be saying if they win this game 4 don't yu think people will start thinking maybe they have the momentum..
wtf yall talkin about? every game is a must win duhh
Take the L, Nick. Your heart's not even in it anymore. At least Skip believes his takes.
The mental gymnastics lebum lovers go through to blame everyone but their “goat” is ridiculous. He ran out of gas. He needs D Lo and Reaves to step up. How about the queen goes out there and dominates in crunch time? Or is that too much to ask of him?
At 39, yes, that's too much to ask. He can't give the same energy and production as consistently as he did in the past
