D’Angelo Russell and the Lakers Get Their Rematch with the Champs | Lakeshow

The Lakers can avenge last year’s defeat in the Western Conference Finals as they face the defending champion Denver Nuggets in the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs. Allie Clifton, Chris McGee and Mike Bresnahan break down how the Nuggets have won the last 8 meetings, how well the Lakers need D’Angelo Russell to improve from last year’s WCF, and debate the X-factors in the series. Plus, they react to LeBron and AD being named to the USA Men’s Basketball team playing in the Paris Olympics this summer.

Also, as a Lakers fan, sending best to MPJ's (Porter's) family. Had no idea both his brothers had events so huge/ life-changing.

[@spoulin99]

Nah. I hope Porter 💩 the bed, cuz of his brothers issues.

[@LouieMac2424]

man talk about a brutal time for them... can't imagine that doesn't affect MPJ on the court too. Let's have a great series

[@gamerfeet69]

No empathy on him.. they ahould be embarrassed...

[@LN-Lifer]

A cheater and a killer... Sorry, but I'm having a hard time. Sending my best to that family I think I'm going to send the best to the family of the woman killed Especially her young child who will now grow up without a mother

It wasn’t Jokic who close the game last year against Lakers, it was Murray.

[@BigBabySports]

good podcast ❤

[@bettynoel8497]

DLO you need to shoot shoot shoot the threes move your body all over the floor and switch the defense on all of the players

[@anoopgovind7746]

It is better to see Lakers vs. Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs than see Lakers vs. Nuggets in the Western conference final, which means history is repeating itself, and it will also be boring to see these two teams again in the western conference final. Let's go, Lakers, let's go, Lakers, let's go, Lakers

[@rulesivy]

Really great pod

[@bradmodd7856]

I thought it was a TV show??

[@gabrielgreer2493]

[@benjaminpadilla4857]

[@blanka4545]

[@mario6150]

Dream on

[@anoopgovind7746]

So Lakers can break the ice and be 18th times championships

[@dax8]

Very cool. Oh man, wasn't expecting no one to be in Lakers corner. This podcast calmed me a bit.

[@Johnnyjibe]

If: 1. proper screens are set for the shooters 2. If DLo shoots more than AD and if3. Castleton plays super aggressively banging etc Joker for about 3 to 4 minutes end of the 3rd then maybe. Lebron and Rui have to guard Joker and try to keep him out the box then maybe. AD should play him straight as well but maybe only small stretches like 510 percent of the time especially if Joker is at the 3 point line then maybe. Just keep Joker as far away from the rim.

[@NspNuhSympathyRebel]

Dlo 39 points 😊😊😊😊😊all games

[@xannith9533]

Gonna be soooooo FUN clowning the lakers again this year.

[@Crawford515]

Why do the two guys look like brothers???

[@mario6150]

Nuggets in 5

[@codypy]

LAL Not Only Better Beat DENVER….But Better Win NBA Championship NO EXCUSES

[@papadiom9260]

What are those kinda expectations??? LAL hasn’t been healthy all year so tf

[@Tayy]

Are you crazy? Do you think a prime Lebron with a perfect supporting cast would lose to a 39 year old Jokic AD Austin reeves and DLo?😂😂😂 level your expectations down

[@codypy]

@@Tayy Actually my man you are 100% right & boy was I WRONG ABOUT THAT...& my family told me that I was Delusional. To even think that the LAL had any chance at all against this team. LAL now wish they PURPOSELY LOST THE PLAYIN GAME....So unfortunately I was more than just crazy.

[@gordful]

allie the goat

[@lerob6510]

Mavs gonna win Championship this year . and I'm laker fan

[@zj8478]

We’re not gonna win without Vando and another competent big. We have forwards And guards But when it comes to bigs, you just think of AD Jackson has length like a center but he’s basically a slashing/dunk threat big
