Nuggets going 80-2....with their two losses coming against us ;)

They are that good.

[–] dlo1580@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ve missed you guys

[–] PeanutButterOtter@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just give Joker the MVP right now.

[–] c_lo-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Another vintage performance by Top 75 Anthony Davis

[–] thegreaterfool714@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This was like a game 5 sweep of last playoffs if this was best of 9 somehow

[–] Moomoomanbun@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wasn't able to watch. Was LeBron still the best player for the Lakers? Just peeping the box score has me wondering.

[–] HattoriHanzoOG@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The Lakers are not a playoff caliber team, and it’s going to be a rough, rough season

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They are most definitely a play off calibre team. They're just not on the same level as the Nuggets

[–] runevault@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lets see them play at least one team that isn't the defending champs before we bury them. I think the Nuggets are going to make some very good teams look bad this year.

[–] HattoriHanzoOG@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They are gonna make a lot of teams look bad, but they made a bad team look even worse tonight unfortunately

That's 5-0 now the super sweep

[–] MrBhyn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Once again, having your 39 player be your best player is not a good idea. And miami role players curse is looking real with Gabe

[–] EveryShot@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Womp womp, when our squad has to rely on the 39 year old to carry them, they’ve got no chance in hell. Curious to see if this season starts off like last year after this

[–] redportwood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

MPJ kept bricking threes

[–] CelestialWarrior-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lakers really thought they was like that, running it back…LMFAOOOO

[–] ereo_enali@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Unibrow only plays Unihalf

[–] ChucoTeacher@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If I’m the Nuggets I treat this game as a loss. The Lakers really figured something out there and gave Jokic a lot of trouble.

The Nuggets are in a precarious situation merely winning 5 straight against the Lakers and the NBA Championship.

[–] LulJerbear@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD is so frustrating. He can look like the greatest player alive one half and then become invisible the other

[–] Carne_Asada_Friez@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Was this one of those moral Lakers victories or just a regular loss? Can some Lakers fans let me know, it’s hard to tell the difference.

[–] Middle-Welder3931@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Gets more and more ludicrous every year that AD was voted top 75.

A top 75 player in his prime playing next to Bron doesn't get swept against the Nuggets, stew for an entire offseason, then come back and go scoreless in the second half. I don't care how good his defence looked against the Warriors last year.

[–] aghashayan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You can laugh at this but Jokic can end up being top 3 all time. Perfect basketball player, yay big and really a combo gaurd. Don't take him lightly.

[–] holaprobando123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kyrie was a part time NBA player, only playing half the games. AD wants to innovate by only playing two quarters per game.

[–] mcgillAHgorilla@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Great game

[–] Meret123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why did they give Rui "Jokic killer" Hachimura only 15 minutes? Should be investigated for match fixing.

[–] Js_On_My_Yeet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Literally felt like AD was not in the 2nd half lol

[–] GigaChadHenne@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lakers offense can’t function without Lebron. They are simply a bad team if he’s not playing 35+ minutes per game at an elite level

[–] StacheBigote420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Someone make a meme where Jokic is carrying his child after the championship- but his child is AD

[–] tigerpawx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jokic too good man , easy triple double … what centers could do that …

[–] ayeno@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Who takes Westbrooks spot as the scapegoat this season?

[–] RockChalk69Hawk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD Reaves DLo for Embiid and Harden

You heard it here first

[–] subpulse44@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD disappearing in the 2nd half is tragic but it's nothing new. Benching Lebron when they were down 4 cost them any chance of winning unfortunately. Definitely alot of things to work on. Positives are that Lebron looks really good and Taurean Prince looks promising.

[–] jdmflcl@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ready for rdc game 6. Time to put up shots

[–] x20mike07x@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So what does 'volente' (spelling?) that Shaq was chanting mean?

[–] IWouldLikeAName@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jokic kinda owns AD

[–] Enelight@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Casual 29pt triple double shooting >50% from the field

[–] here_for_the_lols@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Needed more from Fudge and Hodge tbh

[–] BillyBean11111@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

As soon as Bron sits the entire team can't do anything on either end

[–] DrunkRoach@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Surprised the mods allowed a game thread at all for the Nuggets. Last time they shut the whole sub down

[–] Babybillybonker@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Every single year I hear about how AD is gonna take over and have an MVP like season lmao. Okay. Maybe when Lebron is 45?

[–] MazKhan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lebrons basically 39 and he's still their most impactful player, especially against Denver. Ik it's the regular szn so his minutes are lower, but this team has to do better when he's on the bench

[–] Pikminious_Thrious@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Reddish being +7 just guaranteed him like 20 more games in the main lineup lmao. We're screwed

[–] Mikegetscalls@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Denver won last year with 6 good players

They upped the difficulty now and are gonna try to win with just 5 lol

I respect it

[–] consumergeekaloid@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

6 straight moral victories

[–] cuhman1cuhman2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I aint mad. Just disapointed. Our gaurds were in hell, Ham subbed out Bron while he was cooking, and Ad is a basketball terrorist.

[–] 3s2ng@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So LeBron will still gonna carry this team? Can someone help this old man? SMH

[–] cire1184@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD facing Jokic

[–] Recent-Curve7616@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That lakers roster is pretty shit if you really look at it.

[–] SuchSmoke4082@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Its basically the same team with dif role players. A little better. I like the Woods pick up and Prince is good

[–] NefariousNeezy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

[insert AD missing poster]

[–] Lach_Zeppelin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That post about the most overrated player got me thinking. It’s Rui. I love the representation for the league but I just don’t see the hype.
