Malone deserves more credit than that though. He called a timeout and switched AG onto AD and KCP onto Lebron and that just destroyed the Lakers' offensive momentum. It wasn't inexplicable why the Lakers went away from the 2 man game, it's because AG and KCP shut them down. The 2 man game relies on the screen and KCP was getting around screens like they didn't exist. He's so fast that Lebron got no space to work from the screens.

LeBron can go stat pad & go iso mode against any other team but it’s not working against the Nuggets Game 1 when Lebron seen DLO didn’t have it going he literally kept feeding him the ball & refused to shoot in the 2nd half but game 2 when DLO & AD have it going he wants to play iso ball the whole 2nd half?

For Laker to win, they need to let Dlo handle the ball and set up play through AD. When Lebron handle the ball, all the movements stop.

Game 1 lebron shoots one shot in the 4th , game 2 ad shoots once in the 4th. Someone explain that

[@Magpeccs]

Why does everyone act shocked that the lakers are mediocre? Lebron’s not getting any younger and neither is ad. They need a legit third star to be a true contender.

[@matthieusaade3616]

LeBron needed 2other stars since he was 23

[@robertmcnearny9222]

@@matthieusaade3616 Yup

[@iwritechecksatthegrocerystore]

hes 39... hes got the longevity... he needs help.. hes the GOAT. SMH. Honestly Bronny is my GOAT. He's going to single handildly end this Lebron era. FINALLY. 🤣🤣

[@godhand416]

I don't think they're mediocre.I literally think they have a chance against any other team except Nuggets.I think that they have a win against every other team except the kings but they are out

[@robertmusil1107]

No other team has 3 stars lmao. If LeBron was this "good" he should be able to carry but he isn't even the best player on his team. Not offensively and not defensively.

[@G4MBIT]

Lakers woke up Murray in the fourth quarter. The series is over now.

[@KAye633]

I’m so tired of them talking about this team so much. I know I don’t have to watch but it’s not just this media, it’s many basketball outlets… like there are 29 other teams…

[@frankiefernandez9225]

It’s Over

[@MrWhite165]

Whoever is saying that AD take 1 shot because they switched Aaron gordan on him doesn't understand how lebron play and think they can easily play lebron and AD pick nd roll forcing Aaron to switch on and defend lebron not AD but coach ham isn't that good period .

Brother, Rui played like a girl infront of Jokic. He looked so scare and wants to go home and stay with his mommy

[@sabor504]

No1 can guard jokic idiot

[@ashtonwilliams5945]

I believe the Lakers would do better without Darvin Ham. They got rid of Frank Vogel when he was the coach that got them their recent championship in the bubble. The Lakers need a new coach.

[@jleww8959]

RIP lakers

[@gian-lucbrasseur207]

They are talking like joker went for 30 in the 3rd. It's so ignorant. And then they talk about there is nothing the lakers can do... HOW ABOUT YOU BODY HIM BEFORE HE GETS 5 FEET FROM THE BASKET? Even in city rec leagues, people know that very basic and simple adjustment.

[@ig3nt953]

AD n Bron gotta have 40+ they looked at as the best the gtta play like it Lakers can get 1 but it may be over

[@Cashinn_Outt1754]

Tim Legler is WAY overblowing Jokic sorry… he was gassed and totally unable to do ANYTHING. He had 6 points at half time. For some reason Ham put Rui on Joker second half

[@mikemer100]

It’s not over until it’s over

[@kendricksantiago7712]

Lakers needed that game to for a chance at winning this series! And they couldn’t win! The series is over! Lakers aren’t beating Denver back to back games Denver is to good Minnesota Vs Denver! Hopefully wolves take over

[@quentinseicappie1246]

The question is why did we stop running pnr w AD I'm the 2nd half when Aaron Gordon switched on ad😂 Why didnt we just dumb the ball into AD. If jokic can't stop AD, u really think the shorter Aaron Gordon can? Why didn't lebron continue to drive and kick out..but instead he kept forcing the layup, falling down etc whilst going down hill.😂 Bruh we can beat them, not because we can stop their offense, but because we could outscore them, but we just stop doing what works.

[@micatrsic8762]

If the referees continue to give free throws to the Lakers every time, then there will be a lawsuit from Denver against the referee commission, if necessary all the way to the Supreme Court!!! Playoffs lakers nuggets FT 2023 FT game 1 26:22 for lakers FT game 2 26:18 for lakers FT game 3 29:19 for lakers FT game 4 26:22 for lakers Playoffs Lakers nuggets FT 2024 FT game 1 19:6 for lakers FT game 2 17:13 for denver The NBA should finally stop manipulating the games for the Lakers with their free throws. Every game the Lakers have 10 to 20 free throws more. You should be ashamed of yourself in the NBA!!!

[@slowgrindmarc28]

They set big fella up😂

[@vernonharrison2488]

Murray may have a triple dub next game
