"Nobody worried about Joker." Gil is a real Lakers fan. That delusion shows that lol
Nah joker ain't the problem, it's Murray. Jokic can get all the 2s, he can get 50 but can't let the other guys make 3s.
@@mariojimenez227lol if jokic scores 50 the lakers won’t be within 10 at the end of any game. Your point makes absolutely zero sense 😂and he will get 50 on 70+% shooting which is even worse for the lakers
@@mariojimenez227gotta be one of the dumbest comments i’ve seen all yr 💔😞
@@michaelmero426 shows you don't know basketball, there's been multiple games were jokic gets 40+ and they lose, you got to limit his assists, jokic is going to get his regardless.
Just like Zion last game went for 40 all inside and it threw everyone else of rhythm, as soon LeBron went to the bench they started helping inside on Zion and then he started passing it and they got hot from 3 so it evaporated the lead.
@@michaelmero426 that's been the problem against them they send help on jokic he makes the right pass and you got wide open shot by mpj, kcp, or they're in scramble trying to close out Murray and he'll just go inside and score.
Gil saying “no one’s worrying about him” about Jokic is one of the most ridiculously silly things I’ve ever heard
He’s a fucking moron and a racist. It’s not really that surprising coming out of his brainless mind. Dude talks like anyone gives a flying fuck what he says or thinks 😂the only thing people remember him by is being an idiot and taking a gun into his locker room. That’s why he’s so butt hurt about other people getting recognized for their on court play 😂
Remember Gil is about dumb takes because he wants to go viral instead of breaking the game down out from an X’s and O’s standpoint
He doesn‘t know Basketball. No ex NBA Player has such wild takes, that make no sense
He was obviously trolling
You have to read between the lines, the nuggets go as far as Murray does, you can't really stop jokic because he affects the game in multiple ways but you can stop the others, watch any of the games against the Lakers, they were right there with the nuggets until Murray started heating up
Darvin saying he don’t duck fades wit that lump on his head is crazy work 😂👊🏽
That lump on his head is the reason for that phrase he didn’t duck no smoke so he got shot in the head the reason for the lump lol 😂
Was shot in the head as a kid. Bullet through the window.
Crazy work😂
Making fun of Darvin with yo crew in that hat is absurd.
LOL
Gil’s disrespect towards Jokic, saying “no one is worried about that nigga”, while he’s the reigning finals MVP, that’s just hate or stupidity.
He don’t mean it like that, he means jokic is gonna do what he does regardless you shouldn’t worry about it.
Ain’t lying he not dominating u one on one 😂😂
He saying he’s not worried about him cus jokic gonna do what he does regardless he’s worried about what everyone else will do yall clearly not paying attention to what he’s saying
@@travionholt546lol 🧢 everyone knows Gil would rather smack his own mother than give props to any euro/white player. It's asinine to think you shouldn't worry about Jokic cause you cant stop him 😂 that's like saying, were not worried about Lebron or Kobe or Jordan like damn bruh 😂

To avoid last year's outcome,they have to win one game.
Correct
Why dose Gil hate on Jokic so much like he such a hater just can’t appreciate what’s Jokic bringing to the game of basketball it’s crazy
I'm sure you can figure it out
Because he’s white and arenas is a retarded racist that nobody cares about. So he says dumb stuff to stay relevant off of others success 😂homie is only known in any way shape or form from his playing days for being dumb enough to bring a gun into the building. He was pathetic when he played and is even more so now lmao.
he is racist
Cause he white and European
Just listen to the guy, he is not that bright
Bruh this Jokic slander is so wild. Joker is the best player in the league and these dudes act like they talking about a rotation player lol.
Nah he not the best player in the league! but he top 5..3rd best

@@jaylenstone7589Jokic is still the best player in the game by faaarrrrrr! Saying 3rd is just disrespectful

That’s the reason they been getting it all year, so nobody can say it’s new. It’s lined up for lakers to win title this year
I know exactly what I’m getting on a nightly basis from the nuggets from Jokic to KCP that’s the biggest difference between the two teams
Pause😂
Jokic is bigger than ad...thats it..but e everything
If you’re relying on DLo for a series win…you’ve lost
Why? He's the legit 3rd option who averaged 17 points but he averaged 6 points in that series.
@@justified004He’s a perennial playoff dropper dude, did you just start watching basketball this past year?
There’s a reason every team that’s signed him regretted it and traded him… dude more comfortable sitting on the bench! He doesn’t care about Winning.
@@Supermariohoops24 No but you said it yourself that he dropped off as the playoffs went on. He did better in earlier rounds last year. All they need is for him to perform at his normal level during this series. Again 6 pts a game ain't his 18 pts a game average. Anyone who has a 10+ point drop off in their production would negatively effect their team.
@@justified004 He stunk in the playoffs in 2019, 2022, the 2023 WCF and played okay in the Warriors series before that. He was good I’d say the Grizzlies series in 2023, but that’s the best he’s been and for a former allstar that’s a low bar… he’s been absolutely horrid in 3 of his 5 playoff series in his career so don’t be surprised when he has another meltdown this postseason.
Dlo, Gabe and the others, will determine if Lakers win/lose.
Thank you
Lakers don’t have a shot
Denver will determine if Lakers win/lose
The refs will determine if the Lakers win
@@ChrisJones-cn1ew they sure as hell tried last season. If the refs called it fair the nuggets woulda won by 20 each game!!
The nuggets know how to execute better than anybody in crutch time.
Lakers are the best team in the NBA in clutch points 3 minutes and under when losing. Second best team in clutch points are Mavericks.
Lakers are literally the best in crunch time this year tho
@@YungJay216nahhh,but will see soon
Best only when they not playing denver@@jamesmatushin5457
Murray and Jokic 2 man game...AG slashing, KCP and MPJ creating spacing...unplayable
I think Bruce Brown was a big lost
Definitely was
That was a loss on both sides Denver no matter what the record says hasn't been the same since and neither has Brown. He was their perfect 6th man.
Losing Jeff green too. He was a stretch 3nD big who guards centers too being 6’9”-6’10”. A major loss…
@@dontem.8369Watson is better
@@ChiefOttoSo he’s young. Let’s see him perform in the playoffs.
Aint nobody worried about Joker they say.... then they proceed to say the way to stop him is if they can get him to foul out. 🤡
Lakers we’re 47-35 this year which would’ve been 3-4th seed last year. To Gil’s point D’Lo production (and AD’s health) has resulted in a better record however the seeding fell the way it fell.
Refs help
Naw that angle needs a pause😂😂😂
Not too late to sign Dwight despite the weird shit
Its too late
Jokic cooking that old head bro
lakers fans gonna be pissed when peyton watson averages 3 blocks a game
They are severely underestimating Braun and Watson. Braun is growing offensively. You can see it game by game as we entered the playoffs and he plays solid defense. Watson is a defensive powerhouse right now. If he had more game knowledge and experience he would be one of the most lethal defenders on the bench in the NBA. But he is growing and plays well defensively already.
What they refuse to think about really though is Murray and what he does in the playoffs and to them.
Peyton Watson who lmao stop hyping this man up he ain’t guarding no dam Ad or Lebron FOH
@bestrong8543 You ain't been paying attention. Mans had 13 blocks in a three game span to end the season. Everybody got some.
@@bestrong8543why would he guard AD or LeBron? He’ll guard wings off the bench
@@fly4life103 I’ve been paying attention and your delusional Watson ain’t that dude and AD will give him all that smoke now stop this foolishness
McCants is a Super Lame!
My mans said without Murray like he didn't average like 33 against the Lakers last year
McCants is a straight up buffoon.
Dlo is the x factor last season it was a sweep but those games were very close and dlo didn’t play good at all
Exactly what I’m saying if dlo go off we winning that
So it’s Dlo fault and not Lebron’s fault? Got it 👌🏾
@@Doforjaunfacts every game was listed in the last 3 minutes but people only look at the 4-0 which is understandable but we didn’t get blown out

Diddy, name him that 😂😂
Thats what i said!😂 Gil gotta quit drinking on channel.
@@omarholder9036Reaves*. Austin Rivers is Doc Rivers son who works as an analyst for ESPN.
Lakers best bet is to play Joker to score 50. His best attribute is his passing ability.
Id disagree. Their best bet is to do everything they can to stop Murray. You can’t let them both cook you. There isn’t really any way to stop jokic or to stop him from making the right reads.
If joker score 50 they’re getting swept
Josiah always gotta hard T shirt on, that Hollywood Hulk Hogan T is dope
Lakers need to find a way to force Jokic from having so many assists. If he has 12 assists its a quick series
Let him keep the ball and take your chance with him scoring. Might get tired but i doubt it.
Yeah, and let him have 16\20 from the field with 0 turnovers.
And 14 rebounds.
Almost

You just argued with YOURSELF!
@@rastaman2722 Interesting Lakers facts below:
1. Did you know the Lakers free throw
differential over the last two seasons is
well over +1000 more free throws than their
opponents? They lead the league in that
category. The second place team doesn't
even crack +350.
2. Did you know that if you combined the free
throw differential of the teams in 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th place the Lakers would still have a
comfortable lead over that team?
3. Did you know that the Lakers have shot
more free throws than their opponent's in 19
out of the last 20 games? The one game they
shot less was by 4 free throws.
4. Did you know that during a recent game
where the Lakers played the Timberwolves
they shot 31 free throws to Minnesota's 11?
This was a game Lebron missed and Anthony
Davis sat for 3 and a half quarters due to
injury.
5. Did you know the league outright
attempting and succeeding to rig games in
the Lakers favor?
Also the Lakers could not hit threes to save their life last time they matched up. This year the lakers have sneakily become one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the league. Nobody really talks about that but they're actually better a shooting team than Denver this year
I can't take no grown man serious that would wear a big hat like that... how can I take you seriously for real
Nobody worried about Jokic said gil from a couch
Lakers gonna get 30+ FT's per game more then Nuggets.
Like always that's part of they game plan leflop and lakers and officials aka the refs
Like last game that was disgusting to watch. Lakers received 29 free throws vs the Pelicans 15, despite the Pelicans having the dominant scorer Zion in the paint. Pelicans outscored Lakers in the paint 62-36, yet received half as many FT calls. Can someone explain to me how a team that scores 36 points in the paint gets 29 FT?
@@medved4030just say you didn’t watch the game man
@@medved4030The Pelicans turned the ball over 12 times
Call it what you want lol but the NBA knows how to put on a show lol nobody tryna see Pelicans play lol
The Lakers vs nuggets last year was the lowest score differential in the western conference finals in history. Can say sweep all you want but the Lakers are truly the only team with a chance against them. Out of 4 games the Lakers only lost by 23 total points. Every game could've easily went either way with like 2 different calls. And Norris talking crazy like bron didn't carry his sorry butt to a chip😂 sitting here acting like bron isn't him
This aged poorly
That angle is crazy. Gil’s right😂😂😂
They need to stop joker playing from the free throw line hitting Gordon on every back door it’s there bread and butter everytime
Not gonna happen.
They thinking it’s just jokic nd Murray they forgetting that 6ft 10 6ft 11 Aaron Gordon he the xfacter he to big nd quick nd athletic
Aaron Gordon.
Michael Porter Jr.
Christian Braun.
Doesn't matter who, if you're free. Jokic WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL SCORE!
He not better than Rui .
@@kingra_lwHe better at holding on defense every single play and getting away with it.
gorden is no good player !!!
@@kingra_lwwtf
Norris you didn’t answer the question at all…he said pretend you are the Head Coach Darvin Ham for the Lakers…Norris , The One Bron brought a ring, then tells us all how the Lakers have no chance…😂…thx…
DLo averaged 14/5/4 this season vs DEN and DEN swept them again. I’d expect DLo to drop a similar statline now
With the free throw differential lately, Lakers in 4😤😂
That's the spirit. Go Lakers. (Denver if 3, yes, it will be that bad)
Always crying
Mcants funny asf😂😂
We with all the smoke and we ain’t ducking no fades 🎉💪🏾🙌🏿💯 let’s go Lakers!!
Gil’s scouting report was spot on. Darvin better have them dudes prepared. Denver has their game plan DOWN! I also agree with Rashad for once; try to get Joker in foul trouble lol.
Jamaal Murray is literally a MORE athletic version of Gilbert Arenas!!!! Hibachi x1000
Plus he DOES NOT CHOKE with Lebron
these kids have no fear of Bron like Gil did
F atta here
Ofcourse they don’t fear a 39 year old Lebron lol. Gil had to face a prime athletic Lebron lol
The audacity Norris Cole has, like Lebron ain’t carry his ass to 2 championships lmaoo
LeBron didn't carry anyone to any championships
Please Stop it. Lakers are not beating the Nuggets.

They got SO Lucky Zion went down late in the 4th. He was about to Cook the Lakers ass in the closing mins of Last night... They had no answer and no way to stop or slow him down.
They had 45 min to make that happen. Zion was doing his thing and they still were losing. Stop it

No Jeff and no Bruce we got a chance
They got Christian and Payton. They are better
lol. They have Watson and Braun who basically do the same thing 😂they also have Reggie Jackson who didn’t play much last year who is a walking bucket
Not only Jeff & Bruce … But Lakers depth is better than last year. I feel like adding ball handlers like Gabe, Dinwiddle off the bench is going to be huge for Lakers. Lakers are also much better shooting team then last years. DLO looks like he adjust to the team chemistry and knows when to get his.
i feel bad for McCants wearing the hat and shoes. I genuinely feel bad for him. He did fr. He says he makin a statement with the hat and shoes. he said "I have a good idea..a vision" and went out and bought that hat and shoes. he did that. shame on you Rashad lmao
The key to the game is The Lakers need the referees to score more points
I agree with Norris cole it all sounds good until they tip off and number 15 step on the court
Taurean Prince is video taping under him
My level of respect for Gilbert jumped up a little bit in this evaluation. The key to the series is Lakers guard play. The Lakers guard play was nonexistent last year. These other three don’t know what the fuck is going on.
In order for the Lakers to win, they're going to have to run an offensive system and they're going to have to have plays. They're going to have to put in the triangle offense as well. They're going to need an offensive system and they're going to need an identity first and that's defense. They're going to need to know how to trap and how to stop and how to take charges and how to put the other team in foul trouble within 5 to 6 minutes of the quarter. If not they will lose every game

Play through AD. He HAS to try and get jokic in foul trouble. Can’t let him relax on defense and that’s on AD and Ham. That’s the only chance they have and that’s to make jokic have a seat on the bench. Puncher’s chance at best
“Who tf is video taping under him” Gil crazy af 🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂AD and Bron beat Denver in the WCF before
They forgot all about that 2020 gentleman sweep bro lol 💜💛
That was 4 years ago, both rosters aren't even remotely similar anymore
4-0 or 4-1 is the question
If you looked at it last season. Denver won because of their bench, and like Gil said.
Lebron James now has 1000 total turnovers in the playoffs. He has 300 more than any other player. The worst stat is his assists go down in the playoffs while his turnovers go up.

Probably is lol
