Nuggets up 3-0 on the Lakers, Was Wildes right about Denver all along? | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST
Спорт
The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 112-105 to go up 3-0 on the series. The Nuggets have beat the Lakers 11 straight times now, but LeBron James said “as long as you still have life, you obviously have belief”. He also said “it’s just basketball at the end of the day”. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes discuss whether or not the Lakers have any heart in this series.

He said history will come very quicly for Jokic and people would understand that he is nothing special, that he is great just in regular season, that he is the worst MVP in NBA history, even when he won his 2nd MVP in 2022, Nick ranked him barely 5th in the league that year...

I mean, they honestly kinda have. If the Lakers get even mediocre play from their role players it is, at minimum, a 1 game Nuggets lead and maybe a 1 game Lakers lead. But the Nuggets role players are knocking down the good looks that are being created for them while Rui is hitting nothing but backboard on open 3s and missing more point blank layups in a series than most miss in a career. Not trying to say the Lakers should win the series because Denver is clearly the better team, but it has no business being the sweep it’s going to be

am the Only one seeing this? Lakers static offense, it's insanity. 3 or 4 players standing on the perimeter without any effect on the game, no movement no opening up just standing there basic playing 1 or 2 men offense.

Because you can't coach Lebron. Lebron wants the ball in his hands, he wants to be the ball hog, he doesn't want the ball and the offense to flow because then his stays would go down and Lebron is more powerful than any of his coaches.
