I'm with you Wildes. The Nuggets are 3-0 but most of the segment is about the Lakers and LeBron. What? This is why the Nugget's market remains small. Even when they do well the media will not talk about them and their stars. The NBA needs to market their stars better because waiting on the LA/NY media to do it will never come.

[@lks11]

The market is determined by in-game attendance and merchandise selling nice try tho

[@JB-tp6uj]

...or the Nugget's market is small because their population, fans and championship history doesn't measure up to the Lakers in any way. This is not a conspiracy against the Nuggets. The same thing would happen if the Lakers were losing to Sacremento, Minnesota, Utah and nearly any other team in the west. The reality is the Nuggets don't have a marketable star. Jokic is a superstar, but he's not very marketable. Murray is your best chance of having both a star on and off the court.

It’s clearly not all his fault. And yes he is 38. But I don’t think Lebrons numbers tell the full story. His impact on these games has been minimal. Both offensively and defensively. Hard to win when you are banking on Austin Reeves and Rui to carry you down the stretch.

[@leroyrodgers6089]

[@montraybrown9008]

Lmao 😂 wildes too funny the way he said Darvin ham said “don’t worry will be fine” 🤣

[@kingnaldo4058]

The motto of Lebron's fan is to find someone else to blame for Lakers' shortcomings...🤔

[@reee_4067]

DLO + Darvin Ham this post season, they cant blame westbrook anymore lol

[@SaucyJellyYoutubeGaming]

No yall arent real fans and watching games.... Yall so called games are only watching to see lebron fail. cus all i ever hear after ganmes is lerbon james name in yall mouths smh get out of non basketball fans.. Nick actually gave great points. and kudos to Denver took advantage of the Lakers lineup with DLO in it. Praise Denver yall talk about Lebron to much its tiring

The curse of Broussard strikes again, in both conferences this time

[@JustSomeGuyWithNoMaidens]

As a Russell Westbrook fan, I am loving this Nuggets Lakers series

[@KingKalidor]

Why he lost to a worse team in the first round lol

[@SpaceGhost92]

@@KingKalidorat least he carried the clippers to a win in his series. The lakers ain’t

[@JustSomeGuyWithNoMaidens]

@@KingKalidor He carried the Clippers and played extremely well without the two best players on the team. Not only that, but Lakers "fans" were so happy to get Di'Angelo. Called him the better Russ. Well now look at him

[@KingKalidor]

@@SpaceGhost92 are you stupid the lakers won 2 series at least lakers made it to wcf what are you taking about lmao and Russ lead the clippers in turn overs by a lot

[@AC-ns4gu]

@@SpaceGhost92Westbrick didn’t carry anything. He shot 3/19 for 9 points in that win! He got carried by Kawhi who had 38 points and Eric Gordon who had 19. Don’t tell me about some block at the end, the game was only close because of Westbrooks bricks.

[@franktank334]

Can’t wait to hear Nick talk about how this was the most competitive sweep ever after dogging Brou for saying that about the nets last year

[@jansmitowiczauthor78]

Thought the exact same

[@ksolo2513]

Good job lakers!! Great season ! Great play by a great team the nuggets !

[@CriusXI]

Atleast the whole LA roster won’t be scrapped next season and they’ll be a top 5 seed with the possibility of returning to the WCF. Unless they make the dumb mistake to chase Kyrie and build a terrible roster

[@ksolo2513]

@@CriusXI they need a scorer, so who do u think they need? Fred vanvleet?

[@CriusXI]

@@ksolo2513 No, just extend D’Lo and if his consistency does not improve you use DLo’s contract in another trade. Vanvleet is not the answer at all, especially with his lack of size and absurd contract demands. LA do not need more scorers, they need shooters who don’t forget how to shoot, and big man depth. LA would only have less than 20M in cap space if they let DLo walk for free and they would still be an over the cap team. The right decision is to extend DLo.

[@francescosmith7859]

This has been fun. I'm not particularly pleased with the playoff outcomes and what it means for the regular season (it doesn't matter) but that Nick and Brou have both had to eat some crow and admit they're wrong has been quite fun and very entertaining.

Jokic is not worried about LeBron- this is something he said to appease the media- Jokic is 10 years younger and hitting his winning stride

[@randymcneil4321]

He's not worried about lebron .lebron falls apart in 4th quarter every game . Chucking up 3s turning the ball over .not finishing plays . What a joke the jokers worried about lebron lol.

[@jessecastillo3841]

Another sweep for Lebrons team who played good. And had the ball in his hands at the end. Just couldnt finish.. Let's hear Nick's spin tomorrow. Hahaha!!!!

[@erichuynh8756]

No the reason Nick was wrong this time about the Lakers is he’s always had a blind spot on how good Jokic and the Nuggets are.

[@josephmatthews7698]

'Jokic worried about LeBron.' Jokic stats tonight in sweep of Lakers 30-14-13

[@seanadachi9795]

Time to blame the rest of the team

Who do y’all think deserves to win a ring Jokic or Jimmy Butler I think nuggets vs heat in the finals would be a movie

[@notimportant3686]

pretty cool that in a 20 minute lakers segment they managed to squeeze in several momentary nuggets mentions

Broussard’s argument is what tell myself after I lose a bet, then proceed to do the same thing the next night.

If anyone has a curse its Nick, picking Celtics last year against Warriors then Lakers this year

[@Thesisterchannel_]

To be fair, he picks anyone against the Warriors.

[@lonbwoy007]

I knew the media would try to put this on dlo, but this is all on lebron and AD.

[@Phat-rj3jo]

Nick still refuse to give proper accolades to Jokic, prefer to use the term “team”.

In the semifinal people didn't realise Warriors were too bad that, they made Lakers look too good to beat.

Wildes has better ad libs than the migos

[@jamirimaj6880]

Instead of bragging about it, Jokic is actually worried about Lebron. It's over, Laker fans.

[@dripbayless3148]

Nick scapegoating DLo is pathetic and an excuse for LeBron and AD being outplayed. Jokic is the best player in the world and Jamal Murray is underrated af, he always shows up in the playoffs. Michael Malone is a great coach and is coaching rings around D. Ham. Bring out the brooms so Bron can focus on his next doc - The Last Sweep haha

[@damd2999]

DLo numbers at this level and during the playoffs are pathetic, regardless of AD and LBJ.

[@dripbayless3148]

@@damd2999 he’s a role player tho, superstars deserve more of the blame than a role player every single time. LeBrons numbers look good but if you watch the games, he’s not even one of the 5 best players on the court this series

The battle for finals MVP between Jok and Murray is gonna be awesome.

[@scavengertag]

I hate that whenever they say “this offensive rating would be the best ever” they compare a series stat to a season long stat. Anyone can put up a lot of points over a three - four game sample.
