2024 NBA Playoffs: West 1st Round: #2 Denver Nuggets vs #7 Los Angeles Lakers (DEN WINS 4-1)

Will espn cover the NBA once their precious lakers have been eliminated?

Dude... they still led with Lebron topics even after he got eliminated last year. They will keep doing it for anytime he says a word.

Skip bayless will still have Lebron segments when the lakers are eliminated too.

“Did you guys see what Lebron tweeted last night? Let’s have a 20 minute discussion on what it means”

Yeah they'll find a way to do Lebron segments after he retires.

LeBron honestly was very good in games 1/2 but he’s ruined the narrative after tonight

[Mamba Mentality]

Incredible performance by the Nuggets tonight. Personally I thought they would have been shaking in their boots after looking up and seeing this hanging in the rafters.

Would be a funny joke if we didn’t have 17 championship banners hanging from the rafters.

Should have known the Lakers were cooked when Lebron, Ham, and DLO were more concerned about a foul call in the third quarter then taking accountability for blowing a 22 point lead.

Nothing against Reggie Jackson as a person, but as a player he just sucks now. He’s a net negative and him being hurt is probably not as big of a loss.

What if..... Lakers come back 3-0 and win the championship

That's kinda what makes it funny. That banner has no business being up there lol.

Not to be sexist but Jeannie buss? That’s part of their problem. What’s a damn woman running an NBA front for?

Bro you better than that. SHe a fine ass gilf

She is but she isn’t qualified to be in that gig

Possibly, but not because of her gender surely ?

Seems to me the Lakers organisation is having same problems/issues of ownership like the Yankees have after George Steinbrenner passed away.

Barkley just went in on the Lakers and Warriors LOL

[Pistol_Pete]

In a way this feels like a loss for Denver. Think LA has figured them out after tonight. The Hachimura switch on Jokic is key. Also, no one beats the Lakers 12 times in a row.

No one even knew wtf was going on during this tournament until the elimination bracket part loll. It'll have more relevance and meaning next year when the teams know now.

He has won 17 straight against the Lakers though. He's the Nuggets' good luck charm playing LA. Need him to step on the court in game 4.

The tournament is a joke and will never be good. Let's incorporate games in the middle of the season but only certain ones and make them in season tournament games but they're also regular season games, and winning it has absolutely no benefit as far as post season or any benefit at all. Oh but you can hang a banner as if you really accomplished something like winning 16 games in a post season after playing 82 games when you won like 7 random games total. What are we going to say "well he never won an NBA Championship, but he did win an in season championship though." Who gives a damn just stupid as F.

I actually for some reason thought the Lakers at home could get a game, be Nuggets in 5, but doesn't look like it.

It would be a very Lebron like thing for him to win Game 4 for no good reason, and then get shellacked in Game 5.
