Mike Breen's commentary elevates legendary moments. He just adds something special to these games man. GOAT commentator in my humble opinion.
Even Mike Breen will not be able to elevate playoff games of the Suns.. vs Nuggets last time and vs Mavs last year..
That Jokic steal at the end is the definition of clutch
You can't keep depending on Jokic being clutch after choking a huge lead. He needs to learn how to maintain leads.
Murray hit the ball off lebron hand.
And Lebron giving up on the play is the definition of why he'll never be Jordan.
@@x-man9473it’s not his fault💀 he went to sit down and then lakers went on a 9-0 run and gained momentum
We see what you did there. Clutch, not Klutch 👈🏽👊🏽🤷🏽♂️
We all know Jokic is the true MVP of this year.
It was totally well deserved 3 peak MVP for him.
MBP: MOST BORING PLAYER
embiid way better

@@t__a246 Embiid? Who? Every year hes choking
@@t__a246 you still here, shouldn't you be in cacun already..
This 3 minutes have been one of the most nerve wracking final minutes of a game in this year's playoffs.
So wat other was better if this was not?
Definitely one of the Lakers final minutes games against either Golden State or Memphis
Only because you were concerned about the NBA scripting it for Bron again. Otherwise: Business as usual. Denver should win their first NBA title!
not really, the celtics and the heat had some really close games
you haven't seen the Bucks Heat series then
As a Nuggets fan, I feel like this is a finals game already, and I'm still shocked we even won that!
Nuggets need to learn to close out games, especially with home court advantage. They were up by 20 points at one point. They were up by 14 going into the 4th.
They took their foot off the gas and started making dumb plays near the end, almost costing them the series. You can't be doing that in the playoffs.
Because labron was calculating Steph last game but this game he was tired 😂😂😂😂😂
The comeback was the best thing for Denver. It revealed flaws that a blowout wouldn't have revealed. But, they sill won the game. Now, they can make adjustments.
As an Laker fan, this game was Hella good
lakers in 6
Jokic the REAL MVP he doesn’t shy away on that big stage
This was the most intense game of the playoffs so far, I have never felt more stress in a game than this one
g4 gs sac
Nah. there have been some games down to the absolute wire and last second already. But this was up there for sure.
G5 Celtics vs 76ers.
OT. Smart made 3 pointer 0.5 sec late lost by 1 point!
Jokic was amazing, it was a joy to watch his domination
jokic is on another level rn , unstoppable, deserves a ring already
We will have Game steal from Nuggets. Lakers got the pulse now. Lakers not afraid at all.
34 --21-- 14 Djoker was robbed of this year's MVP.
Lol, overrated BBW
@@Dddherdjo obviously u didn't watch this game
@@Dddherdjo obviously u are mad one, Joker real MVP
Rooting for Denver. Jokic and Gordon deserves a ring
Rings are earned.
And don’t forget Murrey
And the Nuggets have earned it.
Man, Jokic is fun to watch. He knows where to pass the ball, before he gets it.
not even a fan of either team, but that... was.. intense.
Nah ur LeBron fan boy lol
@@mcx24 nah. I’m a Warriors fan
Jokic is amazing...
What an insane game, still can't get over it 🤯🤯🤯
Calm down man. 3 comments all with same meaning but different wordings. Hoping one would work with more likes😂
1:35 - AD and Bron make ZERO effort to rebound AR’s 3!
3:54 - Bron had a blatant push off PLUS blatant turnover while poorly dribbling… THEN HE QUIT.
League got it wrong! Jokic is MVP!

I can watch that alley-oop by Gordon over and over
I swear to god i was thinking on lebron blocking it but Gordon say Hell nooo

Pls shut up
He's saving his energy for game 2 and mostly next year. He trying to play with his son one day you know. If people can't tell by now.

Flopping
These are the top three and only priorities in his man's head.
@@vivienneduong6541 Ridiculous , He’s NOT The Goat That’s JORDAN ! 💯

God bless always Denver
labron travels so much they just let him get away with it over and over and over and over
Outstanding Teams!!
Jamal Murray is an amazing player 👏👏Congratulations Denver
3:54 In a league with a rich history of successful comebacks even with seconds remaining and even down two possessions, I’m amazed how Bron would just give up like that
18 seconds man 5 points the nuggets is not a shit team
It's not the first time he's given up on a game. He's a great athlete, but he gets deflated when things don't go his way. Still one of the best to ever do it, though.
Bruh the game was over
@@cadethecruel3484 then you need to watch more to know that so many crazier comebacks have happened
@@grapespool2345Jokic ended up missing 1. Who’s to say he may have even missed both. But they wasted 8 seconds on the clock. With down 6 with 15-17 seconds left they could still shoot a three. Then go for a steal or another foul. Seriously so many crazier comebacks have happened. Down 5 points with 18 seconds in a playoff game and you just give up???
Joker got the military cut and went crazy😂
That alley oop was crazy, didn’t think Murray would actually go for it given it’s a relatively high risk play and the score was close. But he delivered a great pass and Gordon finished it well.
Congrats REAL MVP 🃏🃏🃏🇺🇸 Let’s go Joker
Epic freethrow misses by lebron along with that terribad hero ball 3. Good stuff by the self proclaimed goat. 20 years in the league and is still scared to post.
Great game!!
Go Denver.Congrat.🕵️👌👍💪💪💪💪💪
Dear Embiid, we know you are watching, you still have time to give back the season mvp trophy to the one who really deserves it, and that is Nikola Jokic
Thank you and Goodbye
if that counts, last year Joel deserved to win but robbed...
I love everyone hating on the Nuggets, going to make it even sweeter when they reach the finals!!!
Jokic is the mvp. the nuggets time is now and they are the team to beat even though this squad hasnt been to the finals. They are the best team in the league right now and if this core stays healthy and together, they will be the new dynasty. as a lakers fan, its the nuggets' time although LA can still beat them this series. Im scared for the league for whoever denver signs this offseason. realistically i can see them bringing jerami grant back, if they do they will be unbeatable
This is exactly why he will always be number 3 prime example you can see he is terrified he doesn’t have the mentality of a champion.
MVP JOKIC NOT EMBIID
TRUE
I'm impressed Jamal Murray played he too nice game. Playing under the weather because fans,players ,coaches always mentioned come playoffs gotta play well credit him he did.
What a game 🏀
Wow, 2 clutch 3 ppints by Leflop. What a way to win Lebron
Lebron for Shanghai Sharks
Super love Denver Jovic 15
NJ 's a great player
What a pass 😮😮😮
intense very nice game
The announcer was right. The only wau to counter the Hachimura Defense on Jokic is to run a pick n roll on Gordon so that AD will go outside the paint area. Excited on game 2 though. 🔥
Lebum missed alot of buckets!
No he didn't. He shot 56 percent.
@@arizjones no need to bother he's blind
@@thuglifeganyu7543 but he miss a game tying three that's the most important part of the game miss back to back threes under 40 seconds left hmmm...lbj choked as always that's why he is not better than Kobe and Jordan hahahahahaha
what a intense game
Браво Јокарооо
I know that jokic doesn't care about regular season mvp, but 3back to back mvp and 1championship(if it happens) would have been a huge advantage of resume for all time greatest. Since players' greatness is all about the stats and record 1~2 decade later
Jokic master
303 Denver we in here we in the building lets get it Denver all day we representin
Crazy how most people thought Lakers could win game 1 😂😂😂 nuggets at home are too good and needed to be cause Lakers played well
Yeah and even with them being “too good at home” they won by 6…..
They closed a huge 20 point gap. Lakers game 5
Yeah crazy it's not like we are commenting on a video witnessing LeBron James with ball in hand paint wide open and down only 3 points with seconds too
Denver was so in control of game 1
Why would anyone think that the Lakers with 100% winning on game in the playoffs this year would win here
Well I guess it's not 100% winning in game 1 anymore now it's
75% yes I count the play in as a game 1 in the playoffs
@@parkershelp6428 if you watched basketball before you know 1 game does not define a whole series like joker said a win is a win
Man that Jokic guy is strong.
Go Lakers!
258 pts combined wow.
Mvp Dr Mr Jokic! 🎉
AD kept the Lakers and Huchimura stepped up. Jokic did the silent work while Murray and Brown played with force. Reaves also kept the game up. Will be an interesting series indeed.
Lakers 2023 world champs. sweeping the heat in 4 straight, and greatest NBA franchise ever with the most titles
go Lakers...
Go Spurs Go!!! Great win Nuggets!!! Go win it all!!!
?
how do the lakers lose when James is allowed to travel every time he touches the ball? LOL
Anyone else notice LBJ gave up with 17 sec left in the game?
so close for Lakers, but, ohh, Nuggets... Everyone from this team doing everything for championship!!!
3:21
"they're not getting quality shots"
KCP LITERALLY MISSED A WIDE OPEN THREE 15 SECONDS BEFORE THAT
LeSold James
That transition lob from Jamal to Gordon never gets old
That was a really good game for jokic
Lakers will win this series 4-1 they have sized the Nuggets up. Save my words.
No killer instinct for Leflop! 😂😂
gotta admire KPJ with the hustle play @ 0:22.. I think he injured his elbow diving for that looseball.. he was feeling it after Aaron Gordon's dunk..
Craaaaaazy 😮
there was NO FOUL on that Jokic Layup C'MON
ad got him in the left arm
Lakers will forever regret that possession down 129-126 in the final minute - they had all the momentum at that point and the Nuggets were choking down the stretch, blowing a 14-point lead.
Lakers have a chance to bounce back 😊
REBOUNDS. Nuggets just beat them on the glass.
Good adjustment by ham
Lebron jacking up that 3 pointer cost them the game. 5 fouls on murray, just drive the damn ball!!!
Jokic ate entire Lakers alive.... no answer for Jokic. Denver in 5. Good run Los Angeles but like Golden State, we're not championship organization. WCF runner up sounds right 👍🏾
Lets see in game 2🎉🎉🎉🎉
damn Denver is gonna win the finals
Bang by mike breen sounds good to hear again

Lechina with the clutch brick 🧱😭
Should be a fun series (at least I hope)
Jokic is the MVP.
Honestly Bron kinda fell asleep the last few minutes. He shot a Steph type 3 without squaring up. He got the ball stolen, then missed again. Just a bad last few trips down for Lakers
Lakers are the best road game 1 team so Denver did really good to stop them
Im a warriors avid fan..but im rooting for jokic, murray and the nuggets for the championship..
Best player in the NBA hands down
I am excited how Lakers going to continue playing like this in the 2nd half for game 2.
it's not going to work - Denver is going to make adjustments too.
@@kennellfrederick4367 Just letting you know, lakers is 6-0 at home, Denver is 1-3 on the road. We could possibly see the series go 7 games.
@Kay A yeah yeah
GG!
Anyway, NBA should stop spoiling the final score in the thumbnail. I understand them doing that during regular season games but c'mon this is playoffs now we don't need that spoilers.
So far so good, good as game..the Lakers almost stole the show, but the nuggets were still in the game.
3:55 - 3:59...and that right there is why I'll probably always rank Jordan over Lebron.
That's why I will always as well. It's pretty unfair for LeBron tho that his competition is Jordan, you literally have to be perfect to match that guy, and LeBron isn't. Probably the only sport where you have to literally be perfect to usurp someone as the GOAT
jordan at 38 didn't make the playoffs and was not selected even in the 3rd all nba team. jordan was just doing a farewell tour, while lebron still able to compete at high level hahahah! Ponder on that! hahaha

They didn't get the W but something significant happened here. The Lakers dismantled a 20 point deficit. They know what to do from here on out.
