- Jason Timpf breaks down how Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets pulled off their incredible comeback win over LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their series. Jason highlights the biggest 4th quarter moments and shares what LA should have done differently in their effort to even the series. Later, Jason breaks down film from Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Dallas Mavericks' 96-93 Game 2 win over Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and the Los Angeles Clippers as well as game footage from Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves' 105-93 win over Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. The show ends with Jason answering listener mailbag questions including why he believes LeBron James is a Top 3 player in the NBA right now, and what to make of Steph Curry following his sluggish end to the season with the Warriors.

Jokic cleaning the boards and pushing tempo in the finial 18 minutes was insane.
He was firing outlet passes down the floor - and that one to KCP w/ the dunk that only took like 3 seconds tells a large part of the story how they came back
I know Jamal hit the game winning buzzer beater shot, but the key most important shot of the game was the 3 from MPJ on that chaotic possession to tie the game. MPJ has been huge for the Nuggets. Considering his 3 back surgeries and the family catastrophe that he is going through right now, he has been a straight up warrior. 🙏🏻
That was so clutch, 3 defending from different directions.
Don't forget the saved ball to dish AG made to MPJ for the shot. He was flying and still made the pass
Analysis great, as always, but has to be said that Jason is the most reasonable/objective Lakers fan in the history of the NBA.
Agreed I don’t know why this guy gets so much hate lol
@@robertsims123 he gets hate? From who, Lakers fans??
@@alanyt2000you should see the wild comments on his other videos man.
@@jons1278 I guess I do a good job staying out of the comment section normally. It seemed insane that such level headed analysis could get hate, then I remembered we're on the internet :)
which isn't saying much, he picked the lakers last year over nuggets which was an INSANE choice for someone who understands the game
lakers should try to go down 20 early and see if they can win from behind like Nuggets do😊😁
When I moved to Denver I was running 6 miles a s day. It takes a long to to really acclimate to the altitude. The altitude affected the Lakers. It did in both games. If you notice they wore out at the end of the 3rd qtr. They walked the ball up the entire 4th qtr. Anyone who doesn't think that the altitude didn't affect the Laker's never was actively working out at sea level and then was in Denver at a moment's notice.
What’s your solution? Ask nuggets to move to LA? I think its effect is exaggerated. Certainly it affects not well-conditioned athletes but it’s still very marginal. It doesn’t make you lose.
😒🤡
@@berryesseenExactly. Salt Lake is 4200' but nobody complains about it lol
@@berryesseen There is no solution but it is a great advantage.
The game that wakes up the Nuggets. They are done playing with their food. Time to end Laker’s misery.
As a Nuggets fan, I pray this got us going. We can't afford to keep going down big like this.
Yeah I don’t think nuggets played a complete game yet.
Facts
Nuggets are prolific to bring up a very sloppy game when they feel superior to the opponent or percieve a game as not important. That's why they were good in play off, they were trying harder, but unfortunately, no longer for lakers. But, if they give Wolves a finger, they are going to take their arm off. Going down with them at all is a huge risk.
Jason, the situation is simple. The Nuggets defense slowly grinded down the Lakers stars physically. And the Lakers shooting luck hasnt been enough for the whole game.
Yeah AD went 2K Shaq diesel on AD in the 4th, completely bullied him.
Huh
You are the best at breaking it down!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
In video game terms Jason Timpf, denver's offense in the last five minutes of game two was a literal speedrun.
Really good answer on that first mailbag 'question'.
Most of us understand what predictions are, don't worry about it, Jason. 😅😂
Jamal Murray is now officially called "Keep on shooting" Jamal. Huge respect to this player!!!!
Been waiting for this video!!
The more I watch Jason, the more I realize how reasonable and fair he is. Even to players that he is a fan of or idolizes, he is close to objective. Bravo 👏👏👏.
Nah he gasses up the Lakers as a 7 seed.. He’s objective when he is forced to be.
@@houstoncolorado if u actually had a brain and listened youd have heard him say everytime that he doesnt consider them in his top tier of contenders but im positive ur one of those people who only hears what they want to
jason i love your show my fren you teach us alot
9:40 Gordon's catch and sticking his feet so that there's no chance he's out of bounds was also so clutch on that pivotal play.
Absolutely heartbreaking loss. Tying the series 1-1 and stealing one in Denver would have been huge for their psyche and confidence. Especially if they had ended up winning by 10 or more. Instead they blow a 20 point lead and get absolutely demoralized with Murray’s last shot. They could have made it a series. Unfortunately, that game 2 loss will have a huge effect on their psychology, whether they know it or not. The series is over.
Love Jason, so real
Great breakdown! Great insight Jason! Don't worry about no mail back hate! Keep going! Go lakers!
Analysis Jason is lit and that’s about it.
That first part of the mailbag is super funny because during game two when Conley was getting buckets I though “oh shit. He’s actually being aggressive and scoring like Jason said he needed too”.
People getting mad that Jason isn't Nostradamus and can't perdict every series 🤣🤣🤣
Jason so blind when it comes to the lakers... no way have AD and lbj had the same impact as Jokic. Those 30 points from the role players has to do with Jokic's ability to get the role players ideal shots... no one on the Lakers is setting up great shots for their teammates...
And the AG Austin Reaves incident was Jokic trying to get free throws, it was definately an attempted shot....
Its been a thing for denver too. Winning in the clutchest of moments.
It's a shot. That is his white whale! Been chasing those calls all year.
These are so golden. Getting to watch 3 games and then get the film study the next morning on why what happened happened makes watching the next game so much more fun. The “other team just wanted it more” days of basketball analysis are dying. There is no longer an excuse to be a dumb ass, ball watching, basketball fan.
Jason, you are the best! Thanks for grinding it out and excited to go on this playoff run with you breaking it all
Down 💯 Mailbag question ? Why did they overturn the foul Lebron is taking about where dlo got hit in the face? I'm actually a Nuggets fan so was glad it got overturned but I am just asking cause I don't understand it and thought you could clear it up. Thank you!
Dlo wide open in corner when Rui clanks the 3 towards the end
i wish youd talk the adjustments the lakers made for game 2 and what adjustments the denver made in the 2nf half of game 2 and what adjustments you can possibly see each team making going into game 3
My Pacers... always being overlooked and underappreciated.
Good team but the ceiling this year is a 2nd round exit
If you were to predict each series after the first two/three games, who would you pick and in how many games.
Thanks, love the channel.
By far my favorite hoops analyst
You are 100% correct brother. First time i saw jokic play, back in 2016 i could not believe my own eyes. It was like 1 AND 5 in one body. People called me crazy for saying he greater talent than Kareem, MJ and Wilt. Please keep posting,we need people to hear the truth. Kind regards.
Mailbag Question: I don’t know if you have already talked about this, but is it just me or do the majority of players look absolutely fatigued by the 2nd quarter? Can you expand on the importance of conditioning and “energy preservation”. Love the film breakdown keep it up!
If that bump on Murray wasn’t a foul, then nobody touching Lebron (at 3:54 game time) in the 4th with his fadeaway wasn’t a foul either. So those two negate each other imo.
Bron haters love watching content relevant to him and then cry
@@jerryren4076 Lebron loves pushing off and then bricking a 3. 😂😂😂 loool.
@@jerryren4076 LOL I’m not a Lebron hater, I actually like him as a player. I’m “crying” but laker fans or Lebron isn’t? I’m just saying both teams had calls go their way (or not their way). Control what you can control. Maybe next time challenge it like Malone did or hit your 3. I’m a nuggets fan, I could care less about spending my time and energy crying about Lebron in the comment section of videos just saying it goes both ways. If that wasn’t a foul on Murray then that wasn’t a foul on Lebron. How is that a hot take 😂
@@TheVortex590 why are you pretending you like him? No fan would’ve said what you said, now man up and admit you don’t like him
@moshimoshi4654 irrelevant, you don’t hear me cry
Also agree I didn’t see why Darvin didn’t challenge seemed like an easy win.
How do you think the Timberwolfs match up whit the Nuggets? Ant looks really scary and there team has so much size im worried they would be able to slow Jokic down.
I could watch that Luka dagger and shit talk replay all day - and I have been!
Magnificent, you say?
As a die hard lakers fan. That was our best for 3 quarters. We are fucked. It took an almost perfect first half from Dlo and fricken AD, up 20 and we still got boned, goooone fishing fa sho
I wish JT would do breakdowns of all the times Lebron elbows, pushes and walks his way to his 'High FG%' layups
Lebron haters are so sad
Or at least stop pretending he's not as biased towards Lebron as all the other fanboys
thank u for bringing this up...he pushes off or lowered his shoulder like a linebacker....every drive, not to mention all the freaking travels. LeChoke is a washed up role player at best.
@@michaelplant3036 i would grant him more than a washed up role player, but he DOES NOT make his teammates better, they all have to fit within his LeSystem...and he gets away with offensive murder regularly
Hindsight makes everyone a great coach…
Lebron calling out the officials , watch the Lakers get 35 free throws this next game to Denver’s 7 ..
Disgusting how he tried to make it about the refs , yea it was a foul on D-Lo , but the refs didn’t brick up a 3 , and bottle a 20 lead ..
And that is why you need a decent big you can play against Denver, he won't stop Jokic but at least that lets AD to save some energy on D
That was a shot from Joker. He's been trying to grift those 3 free throws for awhile. He does it every chance he gets for some reason 😂
Smh. Save the for a Tuesday night in Memphis
You're correct about Darvin missing opportunity to challenge. (It would have been turned over) But, it's a consistent call considering the call where LeBron splits defenders & shoots sideways was also marginal. So....🤷🤔
⛏️🏀🏆✌️
I agree Austin reaves at least tips the ball out of bounds at 1:19 left in the fourth qtr and I think the lakers do hold on to win and I’m a Nuggs fan.
all the people congratulating jason on being an "objective lakers fan" now that actual film is in front of them to prove what hes saying is hilarious. He's been extremely consistent and has been saying this stuff about the lakers and lebron for YEARS but I see people constantly shit on him and call him a laker shill
Mailbag: Hey Jason, hope you're not too stressed lately. Thoughts on Naz Reid's 6MOTY win? What do you think hurt Malik Monk's case more: his injury or Naz's opportunity to start as an injury replacement?
Lakers need the heimlich maneuver
As a nuggets fan think it’s wild people think Lebron shouldn’t have shot that. How often are you going to get a wide open 3 for your best player.
The play at 9:40, Jokic has been trying to draw that three point shot foul for years. It never gets called and yet he continues to try it.
It 100% was a half attempt at a shot to draw the foul on DLo. Almost cost his team the game too. Crazy sequence
He forgot it was a playoff game
@@geraldpulido5540 he plays the same at all times, even the playoffs. The Nuggets reporters call it his "white whale" He really wants that call.
@jnachtig2 and I hope he gets it he is right
Loool "almost cost the game" like, who tf cares? Then it'd just be nuggets in 5. 😂
@@watchmesquatch you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn’t be upset if their team lost a winnable playoff game off some bs attempt to draw a foul.
Denver wins are so impressive because its Coach Karl against the world. Everyone trying to help lakers
The nuggets haven't even been playing close to their potential. At some point the nuggs are going to stop coming out playing sloppy and put it down for 4 quarters. Lakers did have me worried if they won, the momentum would shift their way going into LA. Every team in the western conference playoffs is stacked. So that being said despite the lakers record they are a team thats going to make it a hell of a game. Respect. But go Nuggets
I still think the Lakers miss Dwight and JaValle
I love playoff Luka too lmao. Bro is fn wild
The Lakers are being "Outsmarted", "Overpowered", "Out Sized" as well as being "Taken Advantage" of because, of their "Youth" and "Inexperience" as the rest of the Lakers have just become "Window Dressing" for the Nuggets. It doesn't "Help" that the Lakers look "Frail" and "Timid" when facing the Denver Nuggets.
For mailbag 😊
Hello Jason,one of the better NBA analysts that I Ve come across.You probably talked about it ,but I would love to hear about your Basketball journey,from highschool until now.I have 2 more questions,that are relatable to Denver-Lakers matchup.I am 38 ,and I am trying everything under the sun ,diet ,cold plunge , sauna, keeping my testosterone on the level where it was when I was 31-32 YO ect. but I just lack the energy I had 5-6 years ago ,so in my opinion Lebron is still top 10 NBA player,but if he would take step back and played 20 min a game max ,since you are similar age ,and you're not narrative pusher like most you "colleagues" I am interested in hearing your thoughts on ,mine opinion.
2.I find it hilarious Lebron complaining about officiating,and him saying "what are we doing here" is that just frustration,or trying to buy stocks for next game. Honestly he should be better than that.One bad call didn't loose the game for Lakers ,your 1h long video proves it ,and I could make a case that on the last possession he pushed off KCP ,and made offensive foul.But regardless, in you opinion is there a place for him ,and what he represent to this league to have such post game press?
Thank you for all your hard work , regards from Montenegro.
Hind-sight is always 20-20. Always.
The problem with LeBron’s last shot is not the shot itself, I think it’s shooting it with that much time left.
You can’t risk the miss and give the ball to the other team with enough time left to take it to the other end and hit a game winning fadeaway shot and go down 2-0…
Its a low percentage shot. Y wouldnt he drive,his defender fell down...you know y?? Cause he was sweating missing some free throws..
@@wahlburger4854He already picked up his dribble he couldn’t drive
Durham should of challenge for sure. Would of won it. You switch Lebron with Jokic and Lakers win a championship or at least play for one. Age matters. After that no challenge play really makes you look at coaching more. Luka getting closer.
Jason, great show! What do you think about Dwight Howard shopping himself to Laker nation to bring him back to guard Jokic? 😂 fans are lapping it up.
Its delusional, pple just have bad memory and only remember the first game, DH did a great job there but in the next game jokic dropped 30 and did well for the rest of the series
@@beli722 💯, plus they don't truly understand why he isn't in the league anymore, aka the locker room.
@@chucky0034 true but id like to see him in the euroleague, if he manages to pull back his ego
@beli722 yep! I like Dwight Howard and I wish him well. I just don't think his fragile ego and handle just being a defensive specialist. With that I would love to see him come back for game to watch Jokic.give him some work. 😆
mailbag question: you mentioned the psychology of the game. what do you make of Anthony Davis's sports psychology? ive never seen an athlete so talented yet lacking in that sicko factor where he can just fade in key moments of games. he's like a normal guy off the street psychologically who happens to be almost 7 ft and amazing at basketball. he's every bit as good as Duncan and Olajuwon, who though mild-mannered never shied from those moments. it would help if AD talked more shit when he's going off.
I know that lakers have ALWAYS more free throws than Nuggets. They have over 20 every game and Nuggets as few as 7 in the same game.
Interesting stat.. TP has all of the lakers bench points in games 1 and 2. Sorry but thats just not going to work. Some.of the other guys have to step up, especially if rui is going to continue to struggle
Interesting how people don't really listen to all your analysis and only wait to hear snippets that confirm their own biases.
So basically we should have traded Austin for Murray at the deadline for point of attack defense got it. Thanks Robby 🤦🏿♂️
Peace! Absolutely 💯 I said the same thing when the rumors were swirling. D Murray gives you a really solid 2-way answer to Jamal Murray…he’s athletic and has a handle…The Laker management completely ruined the chances of this team. Austin Reaves is not a two way player. AR’s offense is even suffering because he’s chasing Jamal around the court..
As long as there's no way to stop Jokic there is no way to win. When he wants to play bully ball it is guaranteed points and Lakers don't have anyone that can confidently get a bucket every time down the stretch. Outside of shooting 50% from 3 I don't see any path for the Lakers to win this series. Lakers lost the battle years ago when they got rid of a true center who could bump Jokic for 20 minutes every game and wear him down.
How about not turning the ball over Lakers had 5 more turnovers than den lost by 2 points that’s the game right there
Not every game but one, the first game he made 16pts, all other games he did well...
mailbag question: could denver be toying with the lakers? a 200 o rating in crunchtime makes no sense. Why don't they just do that all game? Mike Malone said they have adjustments they haven't had to use yet. How can that be true when they were town 20 in the late 3rd? Either they wield some powerful dark magic, or they're toying with us. I don't believe in magic, so is it possible the Nuggets just aren't even fully exerting until the last possible moment they have to?
what aboit the pushoff by LeChoke when he bricked the game winning 3? the clearly extended his arm and pushed KCP away
But this is why I was saying it was a waste of time to sign Dinwiddie. He can't stop Murray and the Lakers don't even play It enough minutes. Why did they even bother. Din witty made a huge mistake shoulder went to Dallas.
And had the playoffs runs he had before with mavericks
It did seem when the nuggets made a mistake and the Lakers made a big play, the Nuggets quickly tried to get the ball out on transition and drown it out. When the Lakers make a mistake or Nuggets great shot, LA barks at each other.
Great videos btw!!
So the refs can make mistakes and lebron can too, but Darvin can't? Love your logic Jason.
Suns play robotic ball
To even demoralize lakers in the game 3...nuggets should create a play where AG50 posterizes a lakers starter into the oblivion...And it should happen in 1st qtr...against lbj...ad or russel...if possible against ad...mfer is traumatized by murray game winner...mind game should be set into action...
One additional successful stop/possesion (or coach decision!) in the last 5 mins and the Lakers would have won. Instead, fans are infuriated once again.
Jason, you’re pretty good at being as unbiased as a Lakers fan can be, but the rest of Laker nation, y’all bitching about calls in the third quarter, please stop it.
Yes the lakers played good both games but turnovers and execution is their problem also ad and bron get buckets but not when they need em
Darvin has been so bad for Lakers. Dude has got to goooo. No matter what happens. Gone.
Coach Ham is the scapegoat for that lame team
He’s been bad all year! Deserves to be fired
@@livemodcoloradoHis rotations substitutions and adjustments haven’t been great that cam reddish TP starting line up is diabolical
Jason, love your content man but nobody blamed the officials. Lebron made a comment (on his last question of the press conference) about the replay center for a play on Q3 AND the Kicks/Philly game. Nobody said "the refs sucked". Nobody said "it was a poorly officiated game". Nobody said "refs cost us the game". Nobody said "it came down to a bad call". To the contrary, everyone said the Nuggets played a great game. There's a lot going on with the Lakers but having a loser mentality is not one of them.
Can the players call a timeout and tell the refs they want to challenge a call?
"The Lakers blaming the refs was lame, BUT in this situation..."
LMAO. You couldn't be more obviously bias if you tried.
The GOAT is a great shooter???
I belive that was a shot by Jokic. He is obsessed with getting a 3 shot foul in an unlikely situation. He sensed contact but didn't get the call. Pure luck AG recovered it.
Joker does that pretty often, goes into a shooting motion and the refs always ignore it.
Just write Zubac as Zoobats and read it. As for Luka, č reads as tch, similar as ć....
Lol just say Zu
After everything said and done this is Lakers wingers fan analysts.
Very similar contacts are fauls for Lakers whingers and not for Denver.
If you are Lakers whingers fan don't watch as it is painful memory, if you are not don't waste your time.
Bro what about all the fouls LeBron got away with with Christian Braun and the and 1 with KCP late
There is no point my man, the LeBronto cheerleader called the clear shove a KCP flop. No mention about hitting Payton Watson on the face intentionally, too. 🤣🤣🤣
Good job missing the widest open potential game winning shot in NBA history Lebron. 👏
Nuggets b2b 🎉
RP made the Lakers a worse team with all his trades.
AD is playing better than lebron! That’s who is playing better than lebron
ANT is playing better than le bron, maxey is playing better than le Bron. Le Bron has a bunch of turn overs and a game winner dud. le Bron tried to take over in the 3rd and failed....failed so bad the nuggets came back and won when they were down by 20. Kobe, Mike never made excuses. Le Bron hasn't been awesome, if le Bron was awesome they wouldn't be down 2 games with Murry and joker playing sub par compared to the regular season. Oh and shai is also playing better than le Bron.

The referees should be ashamed
referees will make it so that the Lakers advance and Denver should sue the NBA for something like that!!
Does Vando coming back change this series though? 🫣
Not really. If they put him in the starting lineup, he will replace either D'lo or Reaves and tank their offense. That or they take him off the bench and maybe get a touch more value there but, that's about it as far as I can think.
Edit: Forgot about Rui for some reason. Maybe that might actually help a bit but at the same time, still losing offense for more defense and the Lakers need more consistent offense more than anything down the stretch.
🧹
First 🎉
Playoff Luka magic!!
Only point of hope for me is that Lakers were clearly gassed at altitude down the stretch in G1+2, and it showed in energy and execution. Mmmaaaaaaybee they can physically and mentally hold up at sea level at home with the home crowd.
Yeah, I'm reaching ;) We'll get to see if Lebron can rally this LAL team to show some pride and defend their home court with everything they've got despite being 0-10 vs the Nuggets.
When you hit 60K subscribers, can you give away a Denver Nuggets nr.15 jersey? It would be amazing if you did.
Thank you
Lebron brickin the game winner was hilarious.
Lakers with 30 FT more can win the nuggets 🤣😂🤣🤮🤮
