Stephen A need to go give them a locker room speech 😂😂😂

Maddog is devious with that smirk

This the best and most educated SAS rant I’ve heard in a long time. The whole Nuggets ruining every big moment for the Lakers over the last year is hilarious and never put that together

They should play this in the Lakers locker room to G them up😅😅

ngl if lakers win the edits will be insane

SAS knows how to hype this lakers and Denver match up hella nice 🔥🔥🔥 at the beginning of the show

The suns was the only team to take Denver to 6 games last year, & KD got clowned all year for getting bounced in second round by Denver & not (at least) making it to the conference finals. Now they saying all the Lakers gotta do is not get swept in the first round and that’s good enough? bro I give up 😭

Dlo had like 21 points in the 4 games combined last season in the series, he’s the X factor

every nuggets and lakers game close till the final 3-5 mins💀

Stephen A sounds like Denzel from “ Remember the Titans “ 😂

Swept last year, open championship ceremony, kobe statue, and Lebron 40k points....all lost to Denver. If they lose, Denver will be more than just their Daddy.

If you don't think the Lakers can beat the Nuggets, who cares if they face OKC in the first round. You're gonna have to go through denver at some point.

If AD can guard Jokic then I see Denver in 5

ESPN is DESPERATELY and I mean DESPERATELY praying, hoping, getting on their knees praying to their god that the Lakers can somehow beat the Nuggets in this series...

Jokics half court play in the playoffs is just insane, the 4th quarter is what really separates the Nuggets from everyone else

I think no Bruce brown this time around will really hurt the nuggets. I still think they can win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t. Bruce was BIG TIME for them last year, especially in that Laker series.

Anthony Davis is gonna have to play other worldly and lebron is gonna have to turn back the clock. And the supporting cast is gonna have to show up

One of the greatest speeches Stephen GAVE!!!! W this fire segment.

The Nuggets won their WCF series last year against the Lakers by an average of 6 points per game. I think the Lakers are better this year and could upset them if they have a good game plan, but they have to play almost perfect basketball.

There's no guarantee that the Lakers would have won against Sacramento if they lost against the Pelicans, this notion is just pure garbage you win the game and you play the opponent in front of you, either way they would have had to play Denver sooner or later.

Lakers fan. When we won the chip in 2020, we had scrappy bigs getting physical with Jokic like Dwight and McGee. We don’t have them now. We also had great perimeter and overall guard defenders like Caruso, KCP, Danny Green etc…Reaves, DLo, Rui are better are a downgrade defensively. Murray ate us up last 8 games and we have no answer for him. I like surprises, but this is a real tough matchup for us

Clippers vs Mavs, Lakers vs Nuggs, Suns vs Wolves and Kings/Pels vs OKC 🔥🔥🔥 out west

It’s amazing how Windy kept a straight face the entire Stephen A rant

I mean this has to be the most hyped 7th seed in history 😂😂

I actually agree with Stephen A for once. Lakers gotta fight

Lakers in 6 ain’t worried bout no chicken 🍗 nuggets 😤🏀💯 Denver missing key role players from last years team also

I need y’all (SAS & MD) to keep this same energy when them lakes show yall that 2020 strength!!!

SA hit the nail on the head

stephen A preach it!

Denver doesn’t have the bench like they did last year. Lakers having the underdog mentality this time around is going to skyrocket adrenaline. I can’t wait *Birdman hand rub 😏

If La beats Denver they’re winning it all

I still expect the Nuggets to win, but… I do believe this year’s Lakers will, at least, make this a six game series.

If bron and AD play like they did against the pels they will lose every game by 20

I am telling you all: if DLO, AR and Rui shoot respectable % from 3 (above 38% in average), we've got a great shot at winning this series. It will go to 7 nonetheless.

Mind yall it took a historic performance from Denver to pull out two of those games (Murray with 23 in the fourth and Jokic having 12 Rebounds in game 1 in the first quarter) And on top of that Bron wasnt 100% either. I still have Denver winning in 6 but, this series isnt a formality like everyone thinks. This could be an upset.

Stephen A is energized

Denver Nuggets team is just there sitting quietly, doesn't care about the narrative. Playoff Denver plays different. Joker about to be a monster again.

Only way lakers pull out of this series is if AD continues to play his game. He can’t have 20 pt first half and 0 pt second half

Lakers got a deeper bench, Nuggets lost Bruce Brown

Lakers pull off the upset if AD can actually guard Jokic, Darvin Ham needs to coach & make adjustments, D’Lo needs to actually participate, the bench & role players need to step up. I have no doubt that a 39 year old LeBron will show out…as long as he’s not chucking 3 pointers. Everyone else I can’t count on to be consistent

People may hate him or love him…STEPHEN A is that DUDE!!!✨🔥

Watch out for Scott foster.

Nuggets will win the championship this year. Mark my word.

Also don't forget, the Pelicans beat the Kings this year all 5 games they played. So don't go expecting the Kings to make the 8th seed, unless Zion doesn't play. Then they might make it.

Remember the Lakers figured out the Nuggets, even though they got swept, they still aren't worried after losing 4 straight

Everyone thought lakers would throw game, no one saw zion doing it

LAKERS IN 5 IDC I'M RIDING WITH MY LAKESHOW TO THE END WE WINNING 😊

Before I saw this video I saw a ad for jokic relaxing on a Nba commercial that’s hilarious!!!😂

Zion getting hurt with game tied with 3 minutes left. And you talking heads don't even mention that??😂😂😂

It's not Jokic or Murray that's giving Lakers problem. It's the other supporting cast. Lakers need to avoid them making 3's and play every game like it's game 7

I love S.A he said "Errrrrrrbodyknows" lmaoooo

It’s a show down between The recent NBA champions vs NBA cup champions !!

Mad dogg literally just a old dude with a suit on. Probably hasn't watched a game since the 80s.

Lakers let’s we want the Denver !!!

It’s going to be a miracle if Lakers win this series

the last 8 lakers vs nuggets matchup its always been wire to wire until the last 2 mins. then the lakers start making mistakes and losing. so many games that were lost by 1-2 possessions. i think this can go to game 6 or 7, hopefully for my lakers

Screamin' A. Smith is exactly right. The Lakers must play with pride. The secret will be coaching. The isolation play with the ball in Lebron's hands will not work against Denver. There most be tons of motion by the Laker offense. Denver's weakness is shot blocking. AD must touch the ball everytime down court. The 1, 2, and 3 for the Lakers must be active and that includes attacking the offensive boards. The Lakers cannot give up turnovers, offensive boards, backdoor cuts, and fastbreaks. They can win but the must execute.

He officiated the Lakers game last night. They shot 29 free throws. The pels shot 14.

Big up to lakers for playing for integrity instead of losing to face okc like some other coaches would’ve done,e.g doc rivers team or clippers

Lakers in 7, Lebron, Rui, and D-Low all are shooting better this year than last year, and we got playoff Gabe & playoff Dinwiddie. Plus we got prince & Jaxen Hayes.

Lakers are a different team. Media overhyping the discrepancy. Nuggets lost key role pieces.

Bravo 👏🏽 SAS!!!!

On what planet is Murray better than AD? I did not just hear maddog say that. That is one of the worst statements I ever heard. And the gap between lebron and jokic isn't very big I give the Joker a slight edge over Bron.

Anthony Davis has to go for 40 every game

Stephen a was just telling Shannon the other day the lakers is cooked if they play Denver now today he wanna talk like they gotta chance lol media really want lakers to go farther then they should

SAS sounds like he’s cutting a wrestling promo lol

First time ever I love what Stephen A bringing

Stephen A right on💯

This is a scary matchup, but it is good for LA. A lose means they need to make HUGE changes, a win means they are going into every following series as the favorite.

Staying Humble and Optimistic

Lakers got nothing to Lose. Lakers will be ready, no Dennis Shroder for Murray, we got Gave and Dinwiddie.

Last year I was a loner saying how Denver would beat the lakers but this year is different. AD just needs to guard joker and nobody switch. Yea Denver players are long, special MPG and AG but Rui Bron and AD ain’t small either. Just don’t let joker average over 7 assist cause he’s gonna get his but don’t let him feed everyone else

Lakers has to win at least two games in Denver to win this series. Let Joker shoot, shut down Murray and Gordon. Keep A.D healthy and get D'Lo and Reaves hot from 3

SAS went off though 🔥 lol he got me ready to lace up

The Denver overhype is wild

I love these videos the most. Let me save it so we can come back and clown Skip 1.5

*If the Lakers want to win vs Denver they have to throw big bodies at Jokic, start fast & play physical, give him no space, never relax, challenge every shot & pass, get into his body and foul hard when necessary not to injure but to let him it wont be easy Jaxson Hayes (C) and Colin Castleton (C) need to play when AD is not in the game and sometimes in tandem* to overwhelm him. *AD needs to play aggressive & consistent* 23ppg 15rpg 4blks The blueprint is right there. They tried the physical play with Tristan Thompson on Jokic too late last year but almost won the game but his presence and tactics were effective. Put LJ on Aaron Gordon Put Rui on Murray AR15 & D. Low take the other guards *There are no feel out games! Every game counts this is the finals* *Lakers have been playing too well and work to hard not to win this series*

As a fan, LAKERS YOU NEED TO TREAT THIS LIKE A FREAKING REVENGE!!!!😭 they beat us on so many big day events

Love how Mad Dog talks about Jokic as the final boss like he should be. Jokic is so valuable the guy has his team viewed as an unbeatable force. No other player has it like that. MVP.

This is going to be an interesting series. Early match up in the playoffs might be a closer match versus last year. All the favor goes to the Nuggets on paper and historical games, but you never know.

Crazy how doggy called it lol

Should be a competitive series

if AD and dlo shows up, i can see lakers get an upset

Lakers playing Denver in the first round is genius play the hardest opponent in the west beat them and win the whole thing I’m not saying they will win but if they do lakers gonna have a ring 2024

Don’t count out bron and ad.

Now doggie you been around for long time 😂😂 windy was holding back. Laughter

Denver is not the same team

The 2012-2016 OKC Thunder would sweep every single team in this NBA playoffs. Every single one.

I luv how da 2 to da right counting The Lakers completely out dis series im going to enjoy watching dis #GetBack!!

Maddog gave that devious ahh smirk 😂

The Lakers can definitely beat the Nuggets IF they slow down Murray & turn Jokic into a scorer!!!🤔🤔🤔

I mean their chances are slim. It’s a little bit more interesting this year only cause Lebron isn’t hurt and they got more rest but still, it’s freaking Denver.

Lakers have to do 3 things to have a chance...become a physical team on both sides of the ball...play high level defence... and finally put the ball in the basket.

Idk a healthy lebron makes this interesting. He was hurt last year and his impact was so low, but if hes 100% then we might see sum throwback performances 🤷 could be competitive

We gonna get a 7 game series.....

Maybe they wanted the Nuggets. They couldn't duck them. They would never hear the end of it. It's the playoffs, anything is possible

Imagine actually talking like SAS about anything and how exhausting it would be to listen to lol

As long as supporting cast shows up we can win..alot of games last year we were killin and Bruce Brown and KCP started making shots until joker could find his groove again

We want the Nuggets!!! Bang bang lakers gang!!

1:30, they didn't get blown out all those games.. last season. They were all close games... And they have a supportive cast compared to the last finals meet up
