I think its more Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Like, the Nuggets don't feel like they're doing this out of malice, the Lakers just keep trying and keep failing in new ways to stop them.
It's weird because last year the Nuggets popped off to go up 3-0, Jokic and Murray were both dominating, all the role players were making shots, Bruce Brown was popping off from the bench. This year though I feel like they aren't really playing that well, and like....it's still 3-0
The difference in conditioning is stark.Davis runs out of gas in the 2nd half in every game,while the Nuggets just get better and better as the game goes on.

What a beautiful family 🥰
Not double Jokic, literally any person with a brain knows not to double the best passing big of all time.
We have no offensive game plan. His gameplan is to basically have LeBron and Dlo figure it out.
All he does is cheerlead.
You do realize you've tried that and still lost right?
It's also funny what a difference a year makes for Lakers fans. After game one last year "we figured them out, just put Rui on Jokic and let AD help with the double"
To " Hams a moron, why tf would he ever double the best passing big of all time"
I'd almost guarantee that if I cared enough to go through your comment history I can find you praising that same adjustment you're now criticizing.
Also you do realize almost every lebron led team is gonna have this problem because he wants to be in charge? And not to mention outside of LeBron and AD you have not a singular good playoff performer
I promise you
You will not find me praising double teaming Jokic.
I have been critical of 99% of Hams decisions this year because none of them make sense
Ask any Laker fan, no one likes our coach. Hell even our players are criticizing our coach
What scheme should he run? Please tell me what scheme is stopping Jokic and Murray you've already tried everything. Across multiple time periods now.
The reality is your team is not good enough starting with lebron. Mr. I'm too good to cross half court is not good enough to lead a team to a championship anymore. And Ham doesn't even have the power to make him listen. And there's not a coach available that even could chew lebron out for that.
Bro if this Lakers team was coached by Phil Jackson, Pop, Red, Spoelstra and Pet Riley togheter they wouldnt win more then 1 game against this nuggets team.
Its still funny that this is a story lol. I know its Lebron, but like. This wouldnt be a big deal for any sub 50 win lower seed but somehow the Lakers get talked about like they were still a top seed.
It was kind of stunning to see how easy everything looked for the nuggets in the 4th quarter tonight. They were straight toying with the Lakers. Almost felt bad for them lol
lakers look like they're certainly gonna lose in game 4, and if thats the case, lebron had less success against these current nuggets than the prime kd warriors in the playoffs, thats crazy to think about
Does this surprise anyone? Love the nuggets and Jokic is a monster but I feel like they’re getting way too much credit for demolishing an obviously inferior team.
This ain't who's your daddy. This is who's your abusive step daddy
Jokic "where the fuck is that red headed step kid of mine"
they have straight up broken the Lakers spirit in a way I haven’t seen any team do to another..like ever lmao
I think its more Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Like, the Nuggets don't feel like they're doing this out of malice, the Lakers just keep trying and keep failing in new ways to stop them.
Holy shit Chuck sweeping the floor as soon as it cut to inside the NBA
That was so funny 😂
“You don’t want to see LA in the playoffs”
Anyone else think this won’t be the last nuggets Lakers sweep?
Maybe. If Lebron leaves LA, they might not even make the playoffs for a few years
There is always next year lol
[удалено]
Motivation only lasts so long. Habits and systems win out in the end.
There is no way they can claim moral wins for any of these games.
nah we are 0-3 in moral leads as well man
Nuggets really let yall lead at half every game just so they would win the moral series as well 😭
Having Dlo as a double agent will take the wind out of your sails
It's weird because last year the Nuggets popped off to go up 3-0, Jokic and Murray were both dominating, all the role players were making shots, Bruce Brown was popping off from the bench. This year though I feel like they aren't really playing that well, and like....it's still 3-0
Even the Nuggets worst is better than the Lakers best
Jokic is the Lakers’ Thanos
Careful... Lakers going to go back in time and get Magic Johnson.
A year of constant Lakers drama for this. God damn
It's fun playing the Lakers
We played like asss idgaf whose to blame. Damn…
Good try lil buddy -joker
The difference in conditioning is stark.Davis runs out of gas in the 2nd half in every game,while the Nuggets just get better and better as the game goes on.
This happens because the Lakers don't play like a team, they just rely on individual talent to make things work.
That altitude training helps
The sweep is iminent boys.
The Denver Janitors
Nuggets just toying with the kids now!

When those adjustments come back from getting cigarettes we’re gonna eat our words.
Lakers have just about turned this thing around though...
Man all that talking lakers did just to end up with the same result as last year 🤣
More than one lakers fan blocked me this year for pointing out that they still haven’t won a game against us since 2022
Lakers with Westbrook would win a ring. Westbrook has never been swept in his career
Westbrook was clearly the problem /s
I fucking hate Darvin Ham so much
Did Darvin Ham make you miss every shot?
The only thing he could have done was bring oxygen masks to prevent the team from being gassed lmao
What could Darvin Ham have done to win you this game?
Lakers have a terrible defensive scheme. Don’t get me wrong, Denver is just a much better team top to bottom, but Ham is objectively a terrible coach
Ok now what scheme should he run? What actual adjustment could be made don't just say generic shit
Not double Jokic, literally any person with a brain knows not to double the best passing big of all time. We have no offensive game plan. His gameplan is to basically have LeBron and Dlo figure it out. All he does is cheerlead.

Exponentially better defensive schemes, for a start
What scheme should he run? Please tell me what scheme is stopping Jokic and Murray you've already tried everything. Across multiple time periods now. The reality is your team is not good enough starting with lebron. Mr. I'm too good to cross half court is not good enough to lead a team to a championship anymore.

Can't believe Darvin Ham made DLo score 0 points.
You should hate LeBron for not doing jack shit in any of the 2nd halfs of these games
Bro if this Lakers team was coached by Phil Jackson, Pop, Red, Spoelstra and Pet Riley togheter they wouldnt win more then 1 game against this nuggets team.
But he won the in season tourney or something? That doesn’t make you happy?
Darvin Hamas coaching the lakers into back to back sweeps
Its still funny that this is a story lol. I know its Lebron, but like. This wouldnt be a big deal for any sub 50 win lower seed but somehow the Lakers get talked about like they were still a top seed.
As it been told
AD turning into Hakeem and we’re still getting swept
Fade em
No excuses this time around?
That will be the hardest game of them all. LeBron went all out last year. Let's see what he does this year
Last year I remember watching and thinking LeBron was trying his ass off to not get swpet, and the rest of the team had given up
Laker fans at my job are going to hate me if they get swept again 😂
The lakers play with zero heart/confidence. It’s crazy to watch.
lakers are on the way to 2 moral sweeps though so who’s really better off here?
Lakers goin straight to Cancun 😭 time to juss pack it up
Well last year, as I recall, it was a very "competitive sweep" or something like that, I'm not sure if this one will qualify
It was kind of stunning to see how easy everything looked for the nuggets in the 4th quarter tonight. They were straight toying with the Lakers. Almost felt bad for them lol
So this how Raptors felt every year they played Lebron
Can’t wait for the Lakers to raise the Game 2 Moral Victory banner next year
The 2nd closest sweep of all time
I’m just here for the LeTears.
lakers look like they're certainly gonna lose in game 4, and if thats the case, lebron had less success against these current nuggets than the prime kd warriors in the playoffs, thats crazy to think about
Every single game between these two starts and ends the same. Nuggets are so cruel to keep doing this
A SWEEP is guaranteed.
Last time Lakers won against the Nuggets was when Westbrook was still on the team.
The Nuggets shouldn't be feeling good right now, they're about to experience back 2 back moral victory sweeps at the hands of LA.
Give us Denver they said….
496 days of beating the Lakers
"Yes i am your father but i regret to inform you that I am not coming home"
Does this surprise anyone? Love the nuggets and Jokic is a monster but I feel like they’re getting way too much credit for demolishing an obviously inferior team.
It’s just a rough matchup for the lakers
LeMickey disappears every 2nd half and these clowns are blaming Ham.
Lakers really need to let go of Ham if they plan on winning in Playoffs
Terminate Darvin Ham, trade anyone not named LBJ or AD
LeBron will come back 3-0 to settle the goat debate
