Sadly, it does all come down to AD
Reaves is better than KCP, wth is colin talking about.
Lebron just invented the lob shot! Let's not forget that.
If Lebron retires it's only to take 1 year off and he'll come back and play 1 season with his son. He doesn't want to blow out his knee or tear an ACL next season, so he'll either retire for a year and come back, or severely load manage next season to get through it uninjured and ready to play with Bronny as the climax of the documentary he's making. If he gets dinged up, he'll take a long time to come back next season to be cautious. I'd bet Lebron plays less than 45 games next year.
I dont think AD will ever get better. This is what he is. He can change his game but big men tend to have a much faster deterioration than guards and wings like lebron do.
Once that athleticism goes…trade him now while he has value. Jaylen Brown and Robert williams III from boston and some picks will do.
Nuggets look like a European team from a small country that has been playing together for years, they got that "family" type of energy as a team, hard to explain.
They just didn’t want to give an international dude three straight MVPs and put him in that category of players. Plain and simple. They did it with Giannis and now Joker.
Just came to say y’all were wrong! 🤣
Embid is a cry baby who always blames his teammates
Jokic deserved that MVP. He plays the entire season. He is the best passer right now
"The Game Was So Close!" lolol spoken like a total casual
who wouldn't recognize blatant hack refereeing if it landed on his head (see final 3 minutes of H1 for clear evidence)
It is now clear… KYRIE IRVING. Lebron is done and AD is in his prime and need another Bonificed Superstar. Ship DLo, Austin "Alex Caruso 2.0" Reeves, and other necessary commodities to secure his services. Lebron, who will be 40 next year..retiring, will give the Lakers a plethora of Cap Space. A back court of Kyrie and Lonnie Walker is vastly superior to a Austin Reeves, DeAngelo Russell tandem. Facts not Fiction.💯 ☑️
LeBron 33 in first half, 7 in second. Lakers 73 in first half, 38 in second. But Timpf STILL criticizing Denver for being such a bad defense. Keep believing that, folks, even in the face of the Nuggets showing you game after game that they will shut you down defensively when they need to.
Darius Garland for Brown would work if Cleveland is willing to part ways
Lakers get so much credit from how well they played after the trade deadline, but here's what you don't hear about the Nuggets since about the same time. Listen closely, Jason Timpf: The Nuggets had the sixth-best defense in the NBA since early February. Stop with the old, tired narrative that Denver has such a bad defense.
Nuggets 4-0 vs Lakers: Superior, Michigan, Ontario, and Huron.👍🏀
Whenever Colin does it with Jason it’s literally a waste of my time this man just suggested the knicks trade AD for Julius randle and Rj Barrett ✌🏾✌🏾
AD ain’t getting any better bro. He’s getting older and more injured. It’s all downhill from here.
I hope Heat close it out soon and we get the best matchup in the last few seasons!!! Both teams are full of stone cold killers
I think AD needs someone like a Draymond Green on his team to call him out on his effort
Nuggets had the best clutch time defense in the regular season. That doesn’t always translate into the playoffs but their defense is better than most give them credit for too. They don’t have a guy who’s main job is to rim protect or to make chase down blocks but when they are locked in and make the right defensive reads they do really well as a group
MICHAEL JORDAN AND LEBRON WERE ALSO THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE NBA WHEN THEY DIDNT WIN 3 STRAIGHT. Look at Gianni’s, he won 2 then won the finals they wouldn’t give him the third til he proved it. What’re you talking about! Embiid didn’t deserve it either imo but not joker
Lebron can get younger, don't you worry about that. He knows what to do!😉
calling Reaves a #4 on a championship team is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
you can’t even honestly say he’s better than KCP
on a real contender he’s a bench piece
Jokic is in better shape than AD
that says a lot about where they both are at
Hmmm… I guess Boston didn't quit.
Lakers trade AD they won’t sniff the playoffs 😂
He’s the only defender they have
They slandered Kevin Durant and Booker but don’t have that same energy with the lakers?
Jokic is a 3X MVP
Jason before the series started: AD is the best player in the NBA
Jason now:
AD is a liability on the offensive end
Cmon bruh 😂🤦🏻♂️
Lebron has everything he needs every year its the samething..Lebron needs help..Then he gets help goes on a run gets some competition loses and its he needs more help..Why is that people feel Lebron is entitled to winning?Its the topic of conversation 24/7 lebron winning. Lebron needs more help..How can we help lebron..Will Kyrie come and help lebron.Westbrook is going help lebron..AD is not helping lebron..Wade is old he not helping lebron..Love is missing shots he ruining lebron chances to win.Enough is enough how to try to help Westbrook win?Yiu know someone who never won..Lebron has 4 rings he won plenty of times
AD is not playing well because he is tired of playing with that narcissist lebron..If you ever been around one its drains you after awhile..
AD had 40 points first game and they still loss
Kyrie aint doing nothing vs nuggets he wont save lebron this time
Couple of mins on the Nuggets and then all about the Lakers. This Nuggets team is historical, yes I said it. The start of a 5 yr dynasty. Except for Jeff Green, they're in their prime.
LeSwept
Kendrick Perkins gift wrapped that MVP for Joel.
Jason talk about the media but himself put jokic in the 6 spot at the players in playoff this year, and put him in 7 before the regular season started
Jokic is what you get if Larry Bird and Arvydas Sabonis had a baby.
Jokic the true MVP 🏆
"The Better team" "The better team"…"The Nuggets are the better team"….YET THEY ALL PICKED THE LAKERS TO WIN THIS SERIES…..
RESPECT for Colin from ex Yugoslavia
Jason is so spot on. It's tough to say it that way but it's true. AD just has to get better. And he does feel old. Jokic and Embiid are the only bigs who could have dominated him that way.
How different and great is Jokic. Jokic plays like he invented the game.
Spring cleaning, The Lakers got swept 😆
I’d love to see prime LBJ with AD I feel that would be almost unfair 😂
Jason always stares at colin in a funny way 😂
