Nuggets vs Lakers Game Thread

[Full Court]

The returning champs are playing on opening night. Anybody watching this thing?

[1_BAD_TIGER]

No body is watching the Nuggets beat some no name scrub team

[Xiao Yao You]

no Vanderbilt no watch

[Full Court]

Prince might be the best player on the Lakers.

[fourkicks44]

Joker is in another stratosphere compared to AD.

Refs bailng AD out and he still looks two steps behind

[TheGreatDeraj]

I already want to trade Deangelo Russell

[red1]

these teams play good basketball when they match up


that series last year was exciting even though it only went 4 games

[red1]

I already want to trade Deangelo Russell

nuggets are too big for him. he struggles against their length.


he was dogshit last year against them too, after lighting up the warriors


the size of the two teams is the difference

[Mask the Embiid]

Prince might be the best player on the Lakers.

“Banned” I love this new no tolerance to trolling. Now we can just discuss all things basketball in a troll free environment…

Anyone who says “prince is the best player on the lakers” shouldnt just be banned.they should be chemically castrated so they can’t reproduce their genes. It’s not even trollin Lebron. Cause they are also disrespecting AD

[fourkicks44]

Going to be interesting to see how the Nuggets bench play in the non Jokic minutes.

[StrongLurk]

Jokic is the best player in the league.

[SATAN]

This.

[Im Still Ballin]

Denver picking up right where they left off.

Definitely, size seems to bother AD as well, but not nearly as much as Russell

Was hoping to see better defense against the Nuggets, but I don't think the Lakers have forced a bad shot yet outside that AD block on Jokic

[1_BAD_TIGER]

Jokic is the best player in the league.

No, the planet

You sound upset. Are you ok?

[1_BAD_TIGER]

Denver look sharp.

[red1]

nuggets 3 point shooting and offense overall is clean as hell


that kickout pass from murray doe

[StrongLurk]

Lakers getting embarrassed again by the Nugs.

[SATAN]

By the time the playoffs arrive LeBron is gonna be worn out from carrying "Ad'S tEaM" yet another season. :facepalm

[HylianNightmare]

Jokic makes it look so easy

[FultzNationRISE]

No, the planet


No, in history

[G0ATbe]

AD getting outclassed by Jokic as usual. Gap gets bigger every season

[red1]

AD getting outclassed by Jokic as usual. Gap gets bigger every season

AD will have a monster season


watch

[Xiao Yao You]

AD will have a monster season

playing 70 games would be a monster year for Crutch

[red1]

playing 70 games would be a monster year for Crutch

he'll do 65-70 :)

[red1]

AD!

[TheGreatDeraj]

AD getting outclassed by Jokic as usual. Gap gets bigger every season

Jokic is bigger, better and in his prime, but AD is battling him pretty hard right now

[StrongLurk]

Honestly all that matters for LA is Lebron/AD are healthy come playoff time. However they both will need to play around 65 games in the reg season to make the playoffs. Hopefully Lebron will play a career low in minutes this season too. Guess we will see.

[tpols]

Never know what's gonna happen but LA with no shroeder or big V? Unless the Nuggets come out with 0 urgency this is gonna be an ass whooping.

[FireDavidKahn]

Jokic is better on offense then anyone in the league is on defense, maybe even in history.

It's just silly how good he is on offense. He's toying with the Lakers:roll:

[SATAN]

:facepalm

[RRR3]

Godkola Godkic at it again. The Shaq of our era :applause:

Yes I know he plays nothing like Shaq but similar impact.

[bison]

Refs have completely turned on lebron. League used to be rigged for him, but he can’t buy a call last couple seasons. Looks like the trend will continue

[StrongLurk]

DeAngelo Russell has the same low IQ as Westbrook.

I swear to this day, the Lakers are best when Lebron is actually playing the point guard position.

Lakers about to find out:roll:

DLo is a BUSTA

[SATAN]

Nice block

[SATAN]

Refs not giving Lakers anything. Absurd.

[Im Still Ballin]

Damn. Reggie Jackson crossed LeBron up.

[FultzNationRISE]

Damn. Reggie Jackson crossed LeBron up.

Offensive foul.

[elementally morale]

LeBron took like 5 steps before that dunk.

[red1]

I like the fight in this laker team

[red1]

they were a scrappy team last year too despite all of the close losses

[red1]

huge 3 jokic

[SATAN]

Some horrible defense from Lakers. Guys seem lost.

[red1]

ehh game 1 bro. nuggets are the better team right now.


they fought hard after being down 18 and you can see a lot of potential here

[elementally morale]

Jokic has kind of an off night. He missed at least 4 shots he usually makes. Plus his teammates are not hitting open threes they usually hit. He still has 25/13/6 early in the 4th. On normal nights this would be a 33/13/9 at this point. And the Lakers have capably defending bigs.

[red1]

7-0 nuggets run the moment lebron sits

[RRR3]

LeBeast +10 he’s still got it.

[SATAN]

LeImpact :bowdown:

[ShawkFactory]

Lakers don’t seem like they have an offense when Bron is off the court. He’s playing pretty unselfishly and seems to want others to shine but it’s not happening at the moment outside of AD.

And a triple double anyway. Most likely a 30 pont one by the time the game will have ended.

[red1]

nuggets are nice


great shooting team

Prince was good. The others not so much. And AD in the second half kinda disappeared.

Has AD even scored since the first half?

[L.Kizzle]

Has AD even scored since the first half?

Nope.

[bison]

D’Lo inconsistency, AD disappearing on offense, and -10 when lebron is on the bench. feels like a continuation of last years WCF

[SATAN]

"hUrR dUrR rEaVeS aN AlL-sTaR!" :oldlol:

[tontoz]

Denver's starting lineup is a well oiled machine. Curious to see how their bench develops. Looks like their young guys will get plenty of minutes.

[bison]

Despite the league being stacked, nuggets look like they could be a 60 win team this season barring injuries.

[Wally450]

17 points on 17 shots for AD. -17

[SATAN]

AD sulking on the bench...Here we go...

[bison]

"hUrR dUrR rEaVeS aN AlL-sTaR!" :oldlol:

who said this again? The redneck jizzrag or the merman or whatever?

[bladefd]

I miss Dennis Schroeder. To hell with D'lo and Vincent. We need a freaking point-guard.

[SATAN]

who said this again? The redneck jizzrag or the merman or whatever?

Yes, the redneck jizzrag merman red headed fat kid made the claim. I think several other posters make the claim also.

[RRR3]

I warned people about Vincent. He played way over his head in the playoffs he is not like that usually. At all.

[tpols]

Jokic just... boring-ly dominates the game. Never seen such a slow guy just meticulously pick opponents apart and look so non chalant about it. He's got Fedor energy.


https://youtu.be/z3mVRmx1DVg?si=ETzqu41ElX1x40mw

Watch @ :28 on.

[tpols]

I tried to tell Laker fans. Shroeder was picking up the best players full court and being an extremely annoying defensive pest. And before shroeder yall had playoff rondo. It's a huge L to lose him.

jokic with the big d1ck energy

We could have brought back Schroeder for the same cost too as Vincent :(

[Jasper]

Lakers start as usual. Nuggets showed who is champ.

Lol. Little biatches don't do well at all losing, do they? :roll:

Beezlebitch having flashbacks of his hero getting swept like a dirty chimney.

:lebroncry:

[Full Court]

I see LeChucker starts off the season right where he left off last year---shooting 25% from three.

[Indian guy]

DLo led LA in minutes lol

How compromising are those pictures he has of Ham??

Of all teams with championship aspirations, DLo is undoubtedly the worst rotation player in the NBA. He was the living embodiment of it the entire playoffs last season. Why this guy is still on LA, much less playing big mins for them, is beyond me. He has no business playing meaningful mins for any team looking to win.

Haha they might have aspirations but…

I dont see it if nothing changes. 40k tho.

[Street Hunger]

Another day, another Joker triple-double

[SaltyMeatballs]

If Joker really wants to, he can break Westbrook's record for most triple doubles in a season. He makes it look way too easy

[Xiao Yao You]

he doesn't want to

[Full Court]

I see Bronie's biggest fluffer is DEFINITELY not taking watching his hero lose yet again very well. :roll:

What a loser.

[Axe]

Indeed. He's become so good nowadays. (https://i.ibb.co/Tk7MjGg/IMG-20220829-102950.jpg)

[coin24]

Lol at anyone who believed all the off season hype of this shitty laker team:roll:

West is stacked they have no chance with old ass Letiny and shrivelled Davis

[Lebron23]

Lakers got cooked by the referees. Pathetic officiating.

[Manny98]

AD got to step up he was garbage

[bladefd]

Lakers got cooked by the referees. Pathetic officiating.

Ehh, I didn't think the refs were bad. Not great but not bad. I don't blame the refs for this one.

Watch @ :28 on.

Jokic is the best example for all the know nothing kids who claim past legends like Bird wouldn't dominate today, b-b-but today's players are more athletic, slow white guys like Larry Bird would be bench scrubs dur hur...sit down idiots, legends transcend eras. If anything, Bird would be even better in today's soft, wide open offense heavy era.

[Full Court]

So predictable. :roll:

Bronie fails...."Referee conspiracy!!!!"
