He was solid on the nets, turned into to dinshittie, then luka turned him back around, then he turned right back into dinshittie post luka. Weird ass career.
Bro, I have cheered for Jamal Murray for years now - especially for hitting big shots, but it finally happened to my team tonight and my soul will forever be hurt
AD saying he's the best defensive player then getting a playoff game winner put on his head is crazy timing Edit: I ain't sayin AD isn't a good defender, he's one of the best. I'm just pointing out the timing on that
Yes because apparently when a great player hits an incredibly difficult shot over you, it means you’re a bad defender since great defenders apparently never have players score on them👍🏿
@@tdl8472 it's the aesthetics especially for casual fans. Real ones know how great of a defender AD is but he'll still get clowned by idiots for not shutting down murray just like lillard hitting that 3 on PG's head
@@TheMerrittbadge Yea cuz he ain’t really get the ball much to be fair in the 4th quarter the nuggets was just too playing great D on the bron Ad pick and Roll
This is what playoff basketball is about, both of these games were insane to watch and hopefully will be remembered going forward if these series pan out the right way
I just want to point out that Embiid has been doing his best to play well through his knee injury, and is still getting criticized while Jalen Brunson has been terrible in the first 2 games, and is escaping criticism. I know the reasons why, but that doesn't make it fair.
Fair or not, that’s the reality of the situation. I believe Embiids criticism is a bit overblown because the 76ers should have just shut Embiid down since the beginning and just let him recover. Not even hate against Embiid, just genuine concern for this guy. If anything, 76ers as a franchise deserve way more criticism than anyone for allowing this.
There would be more criticism if his team dropped either game. Embiid is held to a really high standard and his injury makes that hard to meet. Hopefully they can tie it up in philly
Because basketball “fans” only see “win” and “lose” and let their brains escape every bit of context imaginable unless it pertains to a favourite player. Welcome to basketball fandom 🤷🏾♂️
Lol, Embiid is the MVP and has higher standards. Brunson is a small guard. Plus, I think the 76ers have the gameplan to shut down Brunson and let the rest of the team beat them, and the rest of the team has beat them...twice.
Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, Mikal Bridges, Saddiq Bey, Cam Whitmore, Kyle Lowry, and Jalen Brunson (Villanova Wildcats) would fit in Denvers system. All of their playstyles would work in that system around Jokic and Murray.
I would LOVE to bring Saddiq Bey in on a MLE as a 6th man if the Hawks don’t retain him. I’m not even sure we’ll have the cap to use an MLE this offseason, but if we can manage it I’d love to see him, Braun, Watson, and maybe Jackson (if he stays) in our rotation.
@beanie3427 Man, he'd help elevate them to new heights because he'd fit right in and he's a capable starter but just imagine sitting Porter, Pope, or Gordon down and replacing one of them with Bey. They wouldn't miss a beat.
76ers and Lakers both collapsed in very similar ways that make me think they are both going to get swept. If I’m the Lakers how the fuck is a team beating me 10 times in a row in the span of less than a year
I think it comes down to late-game execution of offense by the Nuggets. The Lakers' offense often gets stagnant while the Nuggets are always running actions and plays to get the best shot possible. Not to mention that they have a bit more offensive skill (Jokić, Murray), better 3pt shooters (Murray, KCP, MPJ), and better on-ball creation at the guard and center spots (Murray, Jokić). Defensively, the Nuggets have more capable defenders and more size, but that hasn't been the difference.
Sixers almost certainly won’t get swept unless embiids body completely collapses. They’re playing fantastic defense on Brunson which is usually the most important part of playoffs defense, they’re getting killed by the depth. Having two starting caliber centers share minutes is such a big rebounding advantage when Embiid on a bum knees needs to play 40 or else the sixers lose
@@allin4508you damn near explained every reason why the Sixers are about to lose Game 3 and 4 and be done with. Brunson has been awful the first two games, while Maxey has been good both games and picked up the Embiid slack. But it just didn’t matter because the Knicks have some of the best depth in the league and the 76ers have really none at all. And Embiid also hasn’t looked very good this series with his knees all banged up. You say that the Sixers won’t get swept unless his body gives out when that is very well on the verge of happening.
AD had a crazy game too, you didn't mention that enough... 32pts on 14/19 + 11 rebounds. He scored at will and had a great defensive game... For 3 quarters, defensively Denver put him in foul trouble after and offensively lebron took over (but maybe a bit to much, he only had only 1 fga) Having AD, Russell AND Lebron have crazy games and still loosing that. I`t must suck for LA. But, they can say that it was VERY competitive at Denver.
I was bartending when these happened and thank god I caught them! My Dad who is very old and a C’s fan texted me like crazy about how he stayed up and enjoyed these games immensely!
Reggie is ass cheeks. Dude is garbage. PWat and CB playing excellent and Justin Holiday on those small minutes he always impact the game on a positive way with hustle play, making open shots and playing solid defense.
Lakers Defense today was really great. But their offense is still messy. They just got lucky today that those difficult shots are hitting in the 1st half. But unlucky in the 4th, difficult shots arent hitting anymore. They need different plays for offense. AD and Lebron pick & roll is their only reliable play and Denver checks it in the 4th.
Denver checked it in the 3rd quarter because Michael Malone switched Jokic unto Rui and the Lakers stopped involving AD. Everything got slow after that until in the 4th again when they started running the double screens
Man, on that Knicksvs Philly game as soon as I saw they were struggling to inbound the ball at the end I was like "Time out time out" and I'm really really surprised Nick Nurse didn't call it to draw a play and secure the lead. But well, nobody could've predicted that outcome and it end up costing the game. It sucks but it happens, it's basketball~
Personally, I knew it was over for LA when about halfway through the 4th, possibly sub 5 min, they let Murray just walk up the floor into an easy layup, and no one ever checked him. LA’s margin of error simply doesn’t allow for that if they want to win a game against the Nuggets, let alone a series.
if randle is playing i genuinely feel like we win these games by 20 solely bc him being there means philly cant send the entire team at brunson every possession and get away with it.
On the contrary, he would brick shots like he does in every post season, his absence has been a blessing because Hartenstien wouldn't get those same minutes and be super impactful had Randell been playing...
@@sheyarjames4904 Hartenstein would not get less minutes because of Randle. Only him or Robinson can guard Embiid. And I'd rather have Randle bricking shots but pulling attention because it makes Brunson's life easier.
I watched the entire game n the nuggets was calm throughout the whole game they was not worried they kept missing open shots n was like eh we'll get it next time
I’ll admit to being more of a casual than I have been in years past, but man. I feel like I can NEVER catch an AMAZING Embiid performance. It’s always a bad/luke warm or ok game. It’s absolutely crazy
I’m hooked on these two series. Unfortunately both series might be over in four. I think it’s the overall habits that are prevailing rather than any single player’s excellence or bad play.
I was in a call with my friends on the lakers game and when dinfuck missed the open layup i just said to them "yep, we lost the fucking game because of that bum"
I think Brunson is struggling so much because there isn’t a clear 2nd option for NY. Having Randle would help space the floor even if he isn’t playing good as he’s still a threat. Just as Jamal Murray struggled heavily last night, but still had to be guarded nonstop as he’s always a threat. Without Randle there to help as well as his presence, it lets the defense comfortably double team him the entire time soon as he crosses half court. As well as this just shows how much growth Brunson still has to go before he truly becomes one of the best players in the league *Top 5
Lmfao it's really funny that you had the exact same conversation about Bogdonavic with your gf that I had with mine. My gf said the exact same thing watching game 1 with me.
this is really showing how the lakers should’ve tried to vs the thunder, weakest spot on the thunder is paint/boards and that’s what AD can dominate (as an OKC fan i’m glad they didnt)
It makes sense though, with the game on the line Jokic dominated him in the post and AD disappeared on offense. I'd rather talk about the guy who can turn it on in the clutch.

LOW said the Magic would beat the Cavs pretty easily in either 5 or a sweep and everybody else had the Magic winning in a close series and I’m like are we watching the same teams hoop? Like the Magic’s defense is amazing but the Cavs play defense too and their offense is better with more shooting. It just isn’t Orlando’s time yet. They young wit still a lot to learn they will definitely be better and be back here but I got the Cavs in 5 rn
@@winter9242 true but I think the Knicks were a better offensive team than Orlando plus they had playoff experience on they not a whole lot but more than what the Magic got besides Ingles. The Cavs have damn near a top 5 defense while also having a lot more offensive options than the Magic. Sometimes the past doesn’t tell the story of the past doesn’t tell the story of the present
@@Teezythegoat i agree. I'm only explaining why people might think that way. Also cavs added shooting so it's a way different roster compared to last season
How you say he's on fraud watch ? The way they're defending him and throwing everyone at him. He's always made difficult shots , they're just not falling. He still had 8rebs and 6 assists, I do agree that the defense side looked bad with him in there
Based on game one of Thunder Pelicans i am almost certain the Lakers would have made it out of the second round if they had thrown the first playin game
The people who think the knicks are worse with Randle when he's a 24 point scorer and hustles for rebounds when his replacements rebound ok and that's it annoy me. There's a reason he was an all star and he would have sealed this series before it started because as soon as jalen starts going cold it's randles turn to get shots

Too much data to process in the thumbnail.. I hope Also Rusty Buckets knows that
Idk why bron went for a 3 instead of driving to the basket. Reminds me of jimmy doing the same a year or 2 ago
Considering the shot that Jamal Murray made, going for a 3 was the better option. Just not the way he did it.
Also divincenzo's 3 did not tie the game They took the lead 101 102 to be exact The score was 96 101 before the scramble
Jamal Murray was called Jamal Crawford by the announcers
No... Jamal Crawford was literally announcing the game. When they said Jamal Crawford they were talking about Jamal Crawford...
@@jaceygaither2581 oh lmfao mb
Bruh the Sixers are channeling all of their energy at JB because there’s no Julius. Idk how you somehow manage to slander Julius when the guy is banged up at home. Sheesh
why are you always so sweaty?
Just so everyone knows, jamal went 6/8 with 14 points in the 4th
Am I the only one who noticed Rusty mentioned he has a girlfriend?
Ye he announced on Twitter he got a gf not too long ago
LOW said the Magic would beat the Cavs pretty easily in either 5 or a sweep and everybody else had the Magic winning in a close series and I’m like are we watching the same teams hoop? Like the Magic’s defense is amazing but the Cavs play defense too and their offense is better with more shooting. It just isn’t Orlando’s time yet. They young wit still a lot to learn they will definitely be better and be back here but I got the Cavs in 5 rn
I genuinely thought the cavs would lose this series. But I forgot how BAD the magics offense is. I mean they had joe ingles creating.
Well it's sort of a valid take since current magic roster resembles a the knicks roster that the cavs struggled to score against last playoffs
@@winter9242 true but I think the Knicks were a better offensive team than Orlando plus they had playoff experience on they not a whole lot but more than what the Magic got besides Ingles. The Cavs have damn near a top 5 defense while also having a lot more offensive options than the Magic. Sometimes the past doesn’t tell the story of the past doesn’t tell the story of the present
@@Teezythegoat i agree. I'm only explaining why people might think that way. Also cavs added shooting so it's a way different roster compared to last season
this is one of those game loses that completely kills a team hope LA doesn’t pitty and come back even angrier
Nuggets just have the Lakers number, zip code, and PO Box
Also address, social security number, drivers license #, atm pin code, credit card numbers.
How you say he's on fraud watch ? The way they're defending him and throwing everyone at him. He's always made difficult shots , they're just not falling. He still had 8rebs and 6 assists, I do agree that the defense side looked bad with him in there
Embiid had a 49% TS 🤢🤢
New York was in fact not winning most of the game
really just the end of the third and most of the 4th, they were trailing the rest of the game
Bro, you failed to mention lakers was up 20!!!! And crumbled. Call it what it is. Lakers gave their best shot and still lost
He's a raging lebum fangirl. Not suprised
Based on game one of Thunder Pelicans i am almost certain the Lakers would have made it out of the second round if they had thrown the first playin game
Dinwiddie was a key factor in the Mavs WCF run. Crazy how much he’s fallen off. Maybe he would’ve been better off signing with the Mavs. Oh well
And that is why I'm not buying Embiid stock
The people who think the knicks are worse with Randle when he's a 24 point scorer and hustles for rebounds when his replacements rebound ok and that's it annoy me. There's a reason he was an all star and he would have sealed this series before it started because as soon as jalen starts going cold it's randles turn to get shots
These games are bad for my health man 😩
Bro how hot is it in your room? lmao
I thought Wilt had 20 20 10 game in hes philly run
