I know Jokic is a two time MVP and the reigning champ but I still don’t think people are realizing how incredible he is. It’s not normal for a guy to have 32 points on uber efficiency with only attempting two free throws for the ENTIRE game. He’s absolutely special. Top five offensive player ever.
Not really if you actually watched the game Murray and jokic was quite in the 3rd and 4th for the most part if it wasn’t for cadwell pope and Gordon and porter hitting big 3pt shots grabbing clutch offensive boards Denver might of loss this game but that’s the thing Denver gots reliable bench players and players outside the two stars while lakers basically have ad and lebron and sometimes you don’t even know what’s you will get out of ad
@@dylansmiley9953exactly. Normally, these games come down to Joker and Murray making big plays down the stretch and the Nuggets just got good shooting from KCP and Porter in the 2nd half
This is what Denver does. They coast until the 3rd quarter and close it out in the fourth. The Lakers don't have a closer which is one reason why they won't beat them.
The Nuggets are just built PERFECTLY around Jokic. Like you couldnt have done a better job. PG: Great shooter + great PnR parter, and a big gamer in Murray SG: All-Defense type player that knows his role and a great shooter in KCP SF: Arguably the best catch n shoot player in the league that is also huge and solid on D in MPJ PF: Literally born to play in the dunker spot and also a versatile defender in AG Watching this team when they are cooking is basketball heaven.

Me too. Someone must aid Bron and AD in scoring. DLo missed a lot. To the point that it was a major factor why the Lakers lost. DLo and AR must score a lot if the Lakers wanna win.
Theres a reason why the Lakers have had the largest ft advantage over the last 2 years over anyone else in the league. they're obviously favored by the refs
Ad had his hands completely wrapped around jokic no call reaves isn’t touched yet they call a foul against nuggets every game the lakers won this year was because of the refs literally every single game and the only games they lost is when the opponents bare like nuggets where they have to be perfect on their field goals to win
Lakers again get 15 more free throws than their opponents. refs keep them in game with horrible calls lebron would have zero rings without refs lakers would be 20 games under 500 without a billion more free throws than opponents how does the nba keep getting away with this?
@@DispicableMaze Its about the frequency of going to the paint. A team that regularly has more points in the paint means their offence revolves around playing in the paint. 9/10 times the FT's you receive are caused by fouls in the paint. When more times drive through the paint, their frequency of getting fouled also increases.

I seen this coming after the pelicans game. Also being outscored in the paint by a wide margin in that game yet somehow getting twice the free throws. Barely winning the game mind you. I truly don't think the Lakers are a playoff team, and are completely in over there heads.
i fr think they keep the game close just to give hope in the 1st half just to let everyone know that they can turn on that switch whenever, they are that petty
Nikola Jokic Is one NBA Player that scares me the most. His one leg floater, At the logo floater, He doesn’t. It’s scary, I’m still recovering from what I seen from him Back In 2023!
@@marcushester2312 What does Immune System have to do with “Scared” as of Terms freaked out from a Game as of Entertainment If we talking about my Immune system Mr. Marcus, My Immune System Is probably better then yours.
Feels like AD avoiding Joker. ADs Defense against Joker needs more effort. He always wanna show how bad he was hit. He should be tough. Its a physical game he should avoid being girly move. Step.up AD.
I've noticed AD would rather play soft defense than get called for a foul. He plays like he already has 5 fouls all the time. I hate that he seems to get pushed around a lot. Imagine how good he could be if he started hitting the gym.
Jokic looks slimmer, faster, and aggressive on the ball. Dude was just MVP of the Finals, leading in 3 categories (the first time in NBA history). Looks more and more like Larry Bird.
He really is similar to Bird but fused together with Marc Gasol. Bird was faster and a better shooter but they are both 10/10 passers who see the game 3 steps ahead of everyone else. He's the center version of Bird for sure.
@@sambeezy007 He’s just unlucky, 15’ Kyrie and Klove was injured. 17’ & 18’ Durant joined the 73-9 team, and 14’ Dwade & Bosh was cooked, 15ppg in the finals that ain’t no flash. Context is everything
@@TheBossyMango the glaze is unreal, whats durant got to do with it? bron joined an already championship team in Miami if your discounting durants ring your discounting your gods rings too
I just find it amazing how within the confines of absolute chaos a ball seems to float out of nowhere from Joker's hand and softly lays itself into the basket. He does it time and time again.
He's too inconsistent and unreliable. He's not putting up all star numbers. The guy was 37% FG from 9/24. He needs to give some of those shots to the better shooter: Porter Jr.
Doesn’t really play in the regular season, but even then, which guard are you taking him over?? Booker? Curry? Luka?? Kyrie?? SGA?? Edwards?? Ja?? Fox?? Y’all say this every year but there are SO MANY better guards in the West, only way Murray gets in is if he has an insane leap or he gets in as an injury replacement

Can't guard curry and did you watch the way Zion served him up in the play in? Idk whose idea it was to let him guard jokic this game but don't do that ish again. Ppl mistake him being a chase down blocker for a good on ball defender and that's simply not the case.
When Kobe played for the Lakers they absolutely owned the Nuggets for years, it’s their time now. And as a native of Colorado it feels soooo good. Go Nuggets! Get another 🧹
Yeah. No one can keep up the height and agility of jokic. Coach need to raise this before playoffs. He doesn't have any other plan. If coach kerr is the coach maybe my lakers does have possibility to beat this denver.
They still had a chance but Bron disappeared on offense in the 4th. Didn’t even want the ball. Literally didn’t take a single shot until the game was out of reach
@@MrMan-fx3owhe old he tired nothing left in the tank. He gotta take more breaks I think he played 40 mins Denver is a physical team not them kids he used to playing like the pelicans where he was flexing his muscles (except Zion who punking ad and Bron)The team should have been built around Anthony Davis as soon as they traded for him.
9:20 the lil push by Joker at half court on Lebron to create a lil distance cuz he knows he does the chase downs, it’s the small lil IQ things he’s great at
Well I agree the best, but it's pretty close compared to Minnesota. They have a nice team and A. Edwards was putting on a show. I think that's the one team we definitely should not underestimate. Lakers are toast though. LeBron seems to lose energy at critical times. Honestly he is a great player but I think he's done and would likely win another championship if he joined Jokic LOL.
Starting front line up of the nuggets is big body. Jokic 7”1 Gordon 6”10 porter jr 6”10. All can shoot and drive. Their inside and outside game is nearly perfect.
Denver Nuggets for two years now, their chemistry has been insanely unmatched with the rest of the league & I don’t think any team can survive a best of 7 with this Championship mode Nuggets🔥
It has been like that the whole season. Adam Silver forcing the Lakers to this playoff only to be swept by the defending champion. NBA doing too much to salvage LeFraud's legacy.
Excuse for today is Refs didn't call additional 11 freethrows for Lakers.. The target is 30 freethrows for the Lakers but they realized that people might suspect that they are favoring the Lakers.. so the Refs should be blame here not Lebron James with his 7 Turnovers..
Lakers out here shooting 19 Free Throws to Denver's 6. Bruh, I'm so damn tired of the Lakers. Get this damn team out the Playoffs and let the real teams play, already!
It's all designed by Adam Silver. That's how the refs keep the game close to prevent the Lakers from getting blown out. The refs also use free throws to slow down the game and help LeBron catch his breath during the games. Many don't know that Adam Silver designed the play-in tournament to help LeBron make the playoffs. He wants this man to catch Jordan so bad and for 20 something years he still can't catch Jordan. He will also never 3peat like Jordan did.
As Nuggets fan, Lakers still make me nervous. 1st Q really shows they can beat the team but LA should really really improve on closing games. May best team win! Go Nuggets!
That sequence that happened under 2 minutes where Bron and AD couldn’t convert and then Joker gets a slam over Bron and finally Bron turns it over falling down and getting dinged up is a perfect microcosm of how the only constant in this life is, change. Bron is done, now it’s about the Joker’s time. ❤
Lakers would be 20 games under 500 without the refs this is worse than criminal there has been a huge sample size it stopped being a coincidence a year ago theit are flat out rigging games for the lakers to keep them in games any other opponent lakers win tonight which shows why lakers won at Least 20 games vs worse opponents this year all because of the refs
he’s one of the best passers ever regardless of position. certainly the best center ever in that regard. i know that’s high praise but who else was THIS level of a passer at the center position?
Denver's players know their roles that's it! ..they may not have more highlights but they always play as a team. No extra ball handling moves, crossovers, stepbacks and etc that's why I cant blame you if you see jokic or this team boring. Imo, i see a 2nd ring for them this season.
Jokic vs Davis is one hell of a big man battle… really cool to see these guys fight in the post… you don’t really see centers battling like that anymore in today’s game…
AD is a PF. Jokic has like 30 LBS on him and a couple inches height. I know yall like to compare to make jokic look good but it isnt an even match up. This is why when the lakers had Dwight howard to guard Jokic, they had no problem beating them.
@@wmasterss - Lot of other factors. Freeze Dwight's abilities back then and put him on the Lakers today and Dwight would only have moderate success against Nikola today. Sure, Dwight would do ok, but let's not act like Dwight is some sort of kyptonite.

@@zai668 lakers 19 free throws denver only 6 while having more points in the paint. so yeah, refs were keeping this game close
Denver had 6 free throws. Lakers had 19. Refs had so many missed calls for Denver it was shocking.
Can't foul if you don't play defence
Theres a reason why the Lakers have had the largest ft advantage over the last 2 years over anyone else in the league. they're obviously favored by the refs
Ad had his hands completely wrapped around jokic no call reaves isn’t touched yet they call a foul against nuggets every game the lakers won this year was because of the refs literally every single game and the only games they lost is when the opponents bare like nuggets where they have to be perfect on their field goals to win
Lakers again get 15 more free throws than their opponents. refs keep them in game with horrible calls lebron would have zero rings without refs lakers would be 20 games under 500 without a billion more free throws than opponents how does the nba keep getting away with this?
This is an alliance that works with betting. The all-important fairness and impartiality of sporting events has been lost
Kobe owned the nuggets. The nuggets own LeBron 😂

That just shows how good the Nuggets are. They beat both the Lakers and the Refs tonight.
Brother I agree.
Its almost as if a teams greatness can supercede just one stat beimg way overdone by opponent.
Prime example of paid refs. 0 free throws in the 2nd half is nuts despite having more points in the paint.
How does having more points in paint equals to should have more free throws...
@@DispicableMaze Its about the frequency of going to the paint. A team that regularly has more points in the paint means their offence revolves around playing in the paint. 9/10 times the FT's you receive are caused by fouls in the paint. When more times drive through the paint, their frequency of getting fouled also increases.

I seen this coming after the pelicans game. Also being outscored in the paint by a wide margin in that game yet somehow getting twice the free throws. Barely winning the game mind you. I truly don't think the Lakers are a playoff team, and are completely in over there heads.
5 v 8 still lost 😂
No one should question Jokic for MVP if you watched how he played one of the better teams in the league.
idk how Lakers didn't win this, were up by 20 at one point
The nuggets take a sick pleasure in giving us Lakers fans hope, before crushing it in the fourth quarter.
i fr think they keep the game close just to give hope in the 1st half just to let everyone know that they can turn on that switch whenever, they are that petty
If not for the refs the games wouldn't even be competitive.

Feels like AD avoiding Joker. ADs Defense against Joker needs more effort. He always wanna show how bad he was hit. He should be tough. Its a physical game he should avoid being girly move. Step.up AD.
I've noticed AD would rather play soft defense than get called for a foul. He plays like he already has 5 fouls all the time. I hate that he seems to get pushed around a lot. Imagine how good he could be if he started hitting the gym.
Jokic is crazy man 😂🔥 he makes basketball look easy

Jokic looks slimmer, faster, and aggressive on the ball. Dude was just MVP of the Finals, leading in 3 categories (the first time in NBA history). Looks more and more like Larry Bird.
LeBron lead both teams in ALL 5 major stat categories in the finals…(first time in history) 4 MVP 4 finals MVP and robbed of a couple more
He really is similar to Bird but fused together with Marc Gasol. Bird was faster and a better shooter but they are both 10/10 passers who see the game 3 steps ahead of everyone else. He's the center version of Bird for sure.

Yep Davis had a hell of game
I just find it amazing how within the confines of absolute chaos a ball seems to float out of nowhere from Joker's hand and softly lays itself into the basket. He does it time and time again.
Jamal Murray not yet being an All-Star is an absolute CRIME
He's too inconsistent and unreliable. He's not putting up all star numbers. The guy was 37% FG from 9/24. He needs to give some of those shots to the better shooter: Porter Jr.
Doesn’t really play in the regular season, but even then, which guard are you taking him over??
Booker?
Curry?
Luka??

It's all designed by Adam Silver. That's how the refs keep the game close to prevent the Lakers from getting blown out. The refs also use free throws to slow down the game and help LeBron catch his breath during the games.
