Denver we’re hitting some CRAZY shots from downtown. Thought the Lakers were going to get blown out but they definitely showed some resilience and almost pulled off a miracle. We are in for a treat.
thats the thing, even tho denver hit absurd shots and jokic played insanse, the game was still close. i dont see the nuggets doing this every time
@@FA71H Agreed! Nuggets circus shots going in, KCP & Porter playing out of their head,...if that's sustainable, then they deserve the Finals (but something tells me it's not)
@@FA71H The lakers shot 55/45/88 splits, AD had 40, Lebron had 26/9/12, Rui had 17, Reaves had 23, they shot and scored more free throws, had less turnovers, and still lost. Nuggets in 5.
Ouuuuuu weeee
@@schnellinger7087 can the lakers also sustain?
Splendid face-off between two great centers. Classic 4th quarter, crazy about games like this. Let’s have a great series!
LMAO this was blow-out CITY! Are you s***in me? Lmfao blowout series with denver in 4.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 blow out what? its a close game dude. I am rooting for lakers, but i really respect and admire, AND ADMIT Denver is doing really great. So i just hope you have some respect too.
Me as a Laker fan have to wonder - where did u see a close game?
Denver was in control all game long
Denver was in control for the entire game
@@dond2807 It was a close game in the end regarding the score.... Lakers almost made a comeback and was about to steal the game, but Denver prevented it!
So in terms of the score it was a close game despite Denver having a double digit lead for the majority of the game!
It's scary good how Jokic is this crazy. I did'nt expect him to face Lebron like this. He makes everyone better
Jokic belike: I'm not losing to LeBron and AD in another Conference Finals
Face LeBron? I know what you meant but LeBron & Nikola didn't face off not even once. It was Jokic VS Davis the whole game.
Jokic is a much better player than Lebron. You better start expecting it.
He makes his opponents be better against him!!??!? 😂
Lebron 😂 dude been ass it's hit team carrying his ass
What a game and Jokic what a sick performance 34 21 14 with only 5 missed shots you can't get better than that. In basketball that's called perfection.
When you think it can't get better, Jokic does it better.
What a come back from the Lakers😮
But Jokic rejected it😂
LMAO this was blow-out CITY! Are you s***in me? Lmfao blowout series with denver in 4.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 Bro thid is youtube not roblox you dont have to censure shit here
laker ??! u mean referee ??? lmaooo
This has been the lakers thing that game 1 steal coming back both series Nuggets said nope
Yea that fat dude skill is just tall that's it
What a game by the MVP in 3 consecutive years.. Nikola Jokic
Chill
@Philly Jackson 😂😂😂
He's for sure the MVP in my mind
He will get a final MVP !
Breh jokic is a beast
31 points (on 12/17 shooting), 21 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 blocks... Jokic is HIM!
Should be only one MVP and they missed it. Embidd was a joke in Game 1
Nah Austin Reaves is him. Jokic is MVP.
34 points*
You forgot 3/3 3PTS.
Murry is the main guy...Murry ll b mvp.
Just dnt go far with one game long way to go...
34, 21 and 14..... and doing everything exactly when it matters.... nothing else to say, this man is an incredible player
... and a block and steal plus plus the intangibles.
…and shot 100% from the 3-point line.
Lakers with strong fighting spirit but Nuggets Jokic and younger guys are more experienced and smart. Next game, Lebron, AD and Reaves will have hard times to penetrate as Nuggets will have tougher guarding on them. So for now my impression will end up 4-2 for Nuggets
@@edgardorosario9955 lebron has something to say these is his ring
@@edgardorosario9955you will be shocked
You really can see that Jokic was robbed from getting his 3rd MVP.... Very Clear.
Gotta get the Finals MVP now!
Facts
No he was not robbed. Joel deserved the MVP well. Says a neutral fan
It’s regular season not playoffs
All them people who voted for Embid as the MVP should take their votes back. 😂
I follow the NBA since the mid 90s and honestly Jokic plays the purest and silkiest smooth generous basketball that I have ever seen. He really makes it an art. We are blessed to be able to see him play this game.
no showing off muscle no pure nonsense athletics metric measured for overhyped usa stars just pure skill and genious
@@amrdel2730it’s cause he’s not black 😂 prove me wrong. Not racist, just saying it’s different culture
@@c4thenerd171 so you just mean white dudes are less athletic which results in Jokic playing mkre fundamental basketball?
@@c4thenerd171on average, yeah black dudes way overhype and act way too egotistical. But it's not a race thing it's a culture thing, specifically black Americans. Guys like Timmy, Hakeem, even Kawhi are black and aren't like that.
This what called MVP performance, Embiid never dominant like this in playoff😅.
Proud of my Lakers. But there’s just no stopping Jokic 😭, he the the real MVP.
Long ways to go man. Its only game 1.
LMAO this was blow-out CITY! Are you s***in me? Lmfao blowout series with denver in 4.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143idiot.. you almost lost in game 1
Davis with 40 says otherwise
jokic owns your bum team
Jokic one of a kind Great Player..
The MVP player!
Joker built different
LMAO this was blow-out CITY! Are you s***in me? Lmfao blowout series with denver in 4.
insane in every aspect, but the energy he shows is the difference, what a player.
Jokic is the true MVP. Makes his team mates better too. Total dominance today.
As a lakers fan ,it's good to see that there was a great matchup of AD and Joker
but Jokic was so dominate today
Joker For a Reason.... Man is so Good
@@magic4376 "IF"
@@magic4376 How? Look at the boxscore, how many assists both had? LOL u can't hide your bias.
@@magic4376 he didn't outright dominate AD, but was dominant in his game overall. AD played good, but Jokic outclassed with double the rebounds and quadruple the assists.
@@magic4376 Thats all AD had man, Jokic had 34 points with a higher FG%, has 21 boards, and 14 dimes. While AD had a good game, I'll agree that he got outclass in this game against the joker
Jokic is effortless, crazy good and CONSISTENT as hell. He never has a night off its insane
Jokic is "team player", but how can he has crazy number every game? He looks effortless and make everything look simple and easy. Central figure in this team. Real MVP
Great game 1... Good fight back from the Lakers, who were down by 20+ points... Bring on game 2!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Sucks it will only last 4 games
@@phunkbase268 Feels Like 5 or 6 coz Lakers Will Kinda Win one/two at LA... But Nuggets Will Win the Series ✌️
@@chiboyjunior1752 definitely not going 6 games
No comeback in Game 2. The Nuggets will blow them away. I think they will go all the way.
@chiboyjunior1752 That performance by Laker plus its a away game, I think Laker will take tjos one
Must be so much fun playing with Jokic. He can teleport the ball to teammates' hands.
That critical steal by Jokic with 18 secs left on the clock!
How is he not having a single steal in the stats? :|
It was Murray's steal
It was Murray
Murray kicked the ball out of James hands..
Murray hit James hands lol
i can tell its gonna be great series, Reeves 23, AD 40, Jokic 34, Murray 31.. Amazing game everyone
LMFAOOOO it was a blowout for three quarters and the nBA kept it close. Stop. Nuggets in 4 and wont be close
21 rebounds, 14 assists for Jokic. Insane.

Jokic clearly the best player on the floor. Joker doing the monster efficiently
Look at Jokic man.... so inspirational.
Jokic, 34pts, 21rbs, 14 ast. Beast Mode.
shaqueal numbers there
Add 70% efficiency
Lakers before the trade would've folded
They played with a lot of heart🙌
But Jokic playing every single game like it's game 7😮💪
Awesome matchup for the west!
Lakers really cut down a 21 point lead to 3 points. WOW!!! Jokic is a Beast. Can’t wait for Game 2
Watching Jokic masterclass of a game is pure joy and beautiful basketball
law
What a play by Denver Nuggets 🌹
You really can’t help but become more and more of a Joker fan every time you watch the dude play the game.
Joker just sends it every game this playoffs Respect
honestly lakers fans should be relatively happy with the performance esp in the last quarter. Showed a lotta heart and fight, Denver just made some crazy shots and Jokic… godamn MVP
34point-21rebound-13 assist
🤯
Despite coming up short, I actually like how Lakers played in the second half. They could've easily folded but they didn't, it's going to be a good series.
Moral of their season. They are some Warriors no pun intended
Yeah Ur Right... But they actually Had a Good 4th Quarter.....
@Hamza Tariq more like the Lakers team is nothing like bubble, Dwight howard and bigger guards like danny green, caruso, kcp, kuzma whom are good in steals, blocks and deflecting the ball.
glad one of u lakers fans had the guts to admit that their AD is no match to the JOKER pathetic lakers fans were really believing that AD can stop or dominate THE JOKER lmao , oops he did stop him from having a 50pts triple double though lol
I THOUGH THAT YOUR LEBRON WAS THE GOAT AND AD IS GONNA DOMINATE JOKIC AND U HAVE THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE !!!! SPOILER : your AD COULDNT STOP THE REAL MVP JOKER + YOUR BEST DEFENSE IN THE NBA GOT GIVEN 70PTS IN A HALF BY DENVER + YOUR GOAT GOT CARRIED TO CLUTCH TIME BY AD AND A ROLE PLAYER REEVES = well i guess thats sounds very encouraging for the pathetic overhyped lakers fans
Reaves is a complete defensive liability....the nuggets role players was the difference in this game....
Jokic I owe you an apology I wasn't really familiar with you game. WHAT A PLAYER!!!
Jokic, what a monster.
That's what you call MVP.
Stop that Casual bs

It's the playoffs, not the reg season
AD Knew Jokic is a Monster 😂😂😂
Great Edit. You included the key defense moments. I watched it before looking at the results in advance and through your edit i was able to watch it it with excitment. Thank you
Denver is the most complete team in the NBA right now to be honest. They are big, athletic and can shoot. It is with the coach how he can put them in the right position to win.
law
Can't believe the Lakers almost made the come back, but the Nuggets were better and deserved the win after all. A couple of really good plays out there, and a fantastic Jokic.
What a crucial player is Austin Reeves becoming, he gets better and better.
Dlo bricking, Davis with 2 rebounds at the half, down by 21 and still almost won the game. I think lakers are still in pretty good shape. Should be a fun series.
keep lying to yourself lmao AD scored 40 and you guys still lost. Some perspective for your one sided mind. It will be a great series tho
@@klariskb4497 where’s the lie? I mean Dlo was bricking and AD had 2 rebounds in the first half. Where did I lie? Care to enlighten me?
Hahahaha, the nuggets went to sleep and still won the game
@@DibsJalandoni nothing wrong just incredibly one sided lol
THIS SERIES IS GONNA BE A CLASSIC. Something tells me all matches are gonna be crazy. What a perfect macth up. Match ups like these are why I LOVE THE NBA
WHAT A CLASSIC lol
Wow it really was a classic wasn’t it? 😂
@@michaelc1732 it was actually. the games were close.
but Denver proved to be much more stable and complete team.
Literally Jokic made the difference yet again even tho Lakers played good wow
We got beaten because of our poor defensive rebounds.. we go again in game 2.
Jokic is mad ❤
Davis is a 7 foot midget. Tim Duncan would school Anthony Davis
OMG! The King almost had a triple double!
Jokic at a burger joint: Hmm... what kind of triple deck do I feel like tonight? Maybe a 30-20-10 with some sauce
Joker tied Russel Westbrook in triple double playoofs 12 curently
One of the best 4th Quarters we've seen this year.
"We lost but we actually won!" Lakers fans are wild 💀 how many times does this man Jokic have to bring it before yall finally acknowledge his greatness 💀
He has yet to win a chip, and lost to AD in 2020 playoffs.. He still have a lot to prove against the Lakers..MVP is nothing without a ring.
@@abiyu5607 Stop downplaying his MVPS.
@@abiyu5607 Both teams aren't even comparable to 2020 Lakers and Nuggets.
@@abiyu5607 Nuggets were 50% weaker in 2020 and Lakers were then much stronger with more lengthier than now. Game is not AD vs JOKER. Don't embarrass yourself
@@chevu_2 😆
Jokic the real MVP.🏆
Jokic is a Monster what a Player 🔥🔥🔥🔥 the Best in the NBA
Crazy Jokic is like cartoon 7ft sticky man animation package but the ball just rainsss.
Proud of my lakers in this match tho they lost
*pls have mercy jokic so my LA can win the ring🙏🏻🤲🏻
Now that's an MVP performance ! 👏
At this point you just have to root for the nuggets. They really deserve that title… as a franchise and as a team. What an accomplishment so far. Joking could cement himself as the one guy that managed to bring the nuggets a title.
And you think Lakers don't deserve the Title, after eliminating Grizzlies and Warriors. You are just too sentimental. Just say that's your team, instead trying to give all the credit to Nuggets.
@@oriyomilewis644 the Lakers barley beat the Timberwolves who were down two of their best players in the play in. Then they beat the grizleys who were also out their best player. The only real team theyve beat is golden state
Grizzlies were injured and toting pistols, GSW were busy punching each other and spending 500k on being a munch
@@oriyomilewis644 ironic considering you're a Lakers fan.
AD VS Joker best thing to watch in the playoff.
Except it Silver Brow versus Titan Joker.
It would've been much more satifying to see The Joker vs The Pity MVP.
@@cafelatte1124 Nah, Joker chill at the end of the season just becuz he is sick of tired of some baby crying for the MVP.
to be honest , im not gonna be sad if denver wins it all . theyre really good team and deserves recognition more.
they give me Bucks 2021 vibes for real
sen uzulme asko
Joker just did what only the great players do, they elevated their play.
Lakers did a great comeback in the 4th quarter which shows this is going to be a tough series.
Joker is the true MVP no doubt
6:11 GODDAMN!!!!🔥🔥
Unstoppable offenses from both teams 👏👏👏
Both teams deserve to be in The Finals 🔥 such a great series this one is going to be 🫡
As a Korean fan, I thought the Lakers would be swept in the 1st quarter, but there's hope after the 4th quarter. AD JOKIC MURRAY LBJ have good manners too!😊
Hi bro. I need a Korean friend
the lakers are not koreans
As a kpop fan i does agree with you that gonna be a fun series to watch
솔직히 졌잘싸다 ㅎㅎ
I am Korean too!
Jokic be a scorer: Okay, 53pts
Jokic be a playmaker: Okay, 20 assists
Jokic be good rebounder: Okay, 21 boards
Jokic do all of the above with at least 70%+ efficiency in the playoffs: Okay, 34, 21, 14
As long as the support are making their shots, the Nuggets are unbeatable. If Joker has to carry, that’s when they’re at their weakest.
lakers are crazy versatile. They are both very strong teams but with a differently playstyle. Denver is stronger though, while the lakers have the edge in versatility.
What a come back from lakers. Joker the best players.
Happy to see some exciting basketball
What an amazing game! Both teams were on FIRE!!!
As usual, the comment section is hating on Lebron, Jokic, AD. Why can't anyone just enjoy a great fucking game of basketball??
Get ready for the wave of bots doing that exact thing on this comment
Because the life of this people sucks and the only thing they know is hate.
Sure
Davis’s face after the 3rd Q buzzer: What the fuck was that 😂
Game knows game
Damn that fly nearly gave me a heart attack 1:25
Jokic is unstoppable, no one can stop him, he has shown everyone that he is the best player, you can see it, in fact, along with Michael Jordan of all time, I wonder how people from the NBA voted for other candidates, realistically, he is the real MVP, and in they know that, but they didn't want to announce it again, but you can't hide the truth, it's visible, Joker💪🙏
Comparing him to MJ lol. Don't exaggerate
Nuggets just cooking, they are perfect team for the chip this year
With the reds and some soft call or lakers might of had a 2 point lead
@@chicmagnethamilton5872 "might of" shut the f up.
Sure. Lakers had 26 FTs, Nuggets 22 - but the refs are AGAINST the Lakers…
Interesting narrative. 😁
@@Zett76 refs always against the Lakers if they not shooting 40 ft 😂
Imagine being a Lakers fan and complaining about refs and free throws. Smh.
Unpopular opinion, this game is actually a very good sign for the Lakers for the rest of the series with how competitive they were against a team that's had alot more rest at their home court.
Yeah, Nuggets in 4
AD dropped 40 and 10 and they still lost. For the record I'm not a Denver fan.
Lakers are about as good as the timberwolves and they'll loose like the Timberwolves
Bro Lakers fans said that the first game lol lbj looks old as shitb
AR out here shooting like he's Ray Allen!
jokic real MVP
WHAT A GAME‼️
this is what the NBA is all about 🫡
What a game! Mamma mia! Like ukrainian fan of NBA I'm happy to see such unbelievable play-off. Joker, AD, Murray, KCP, Lebron and Reeves are fantastic players!
KCP was great he was fueled to play against the lakers
This series going to be a regular scary thriller even I'm a lakers fan, if Denver will go through then I'm with them at the finals cause they have the team and they respect the opponent you can see that even if you haven't watched the whole game
this finals is gonna be proper…both teams are in peak form and truly believe they can win the chip
Pick form? I don't know... Bron is 38 and clearly not the player he was 5 years ago.
@@patbenz4327 He's talking about the peak as far as the team goes, not individually. Basketball is a team game, after all. On top of that, while LeBron isn't physically in his prime, one might argue he has accumulated more wisdom (and at times arguably more skillsets)
Yeah hard 4 game series
@@bg357wg Lebron is still physically above anybody in his class which is class of its own.
Lakers got dicked 🧹
beautiful editing. SO exciting to watch. feel the nervousness in the last few minutes. Thanks for sharing!
Jokic is a beast....a starter in every NBA team now
A star in every NBA team
Good to see you discovered Internet in 2023 bro...Keep learning
Nice take casual. The 2 time MVP is a starter on every team? I did not see that one coming
Incredible game. Really impressed with the Lakers fighting back despite being down consistently by 15-20 points. Not sure what their mojo will be like after this loss though. AD was incredible, LBJ was great, Reeves was great, Hachimura was great; pretty much everything went perfectly for their players and they still lose? Ouch.
The Nuggets are THAT good.
For me it’s the opposite, Nuggets shot lights out 50%+ from downtown, hand on their faces and they still making it, Jokic with the monster triple double and still Nuggets almost lost, if they can be this perfect next games then they can sweep them lakers but i highly doubt it. Lakers had no energy in the first half, Dlo bricking, Davis with 2 rebounds at the half.. lakers still in a pretty good place.
@Rants & Reviews: Sorry mate you got that backwards. Everything went perfect for Denver, and they blew their lead til the last minute. The Lakers will show up defensively on Thursday.
No problem is everyone on the nugget's bench contributed and lakers did not
@@DibsJalandoni they almost lost bc jokic shot twice in the 4th he was trying to pass and they was trying to run the clock out but In doing that turnovers and bad shots for like 6 mins of the 4th
still a good fight by the Lakers. damn, this gonna be a good series 🎉
1:35 ... b-b-but jokic doesn't play defense
This matchup is going to be one of those Hardwood classics. Great game
Nice basketball game. 2 big men are going at it.
That fight for the ball at the end was fantastic. Thanks for including that in the highlights.
The butterfly in front of the camera made me looking for it in my room for a good 15 minutes
I have no concerns about Jokic to continue to be so consistent, but Murray won't shoot 60% every game. This is a guarantee.
It is unbelievable how Joker has developed into such a great player, he is just too good
A slow White guy who can't jump, destroying everyone!
in the future, there will be a documentary called: "the last slowdance".
and we hear Jokic say: "they gave the MVP to Embiid" that's all i needed"!
😎
That game comes from 90s. What a game bro...
Russell not having a good night unfortunately and Jokic having a banger, what a game
Denver got really lucky and difficult 3 pointers today... Without those they would have lost... Let's see what happens
So typically AD makes 40 points and still lose? Nugz a very good 3 pt shooting team, admit some lucky shots but gg to nugz and props to lakers…7 game series
Denver definitely needs the endurance of prrparing to have long, high-pressure marathon series until the end - because surely Lakers won't give up.
Love this clip.
lmao who has the healthiest stars young jokic n murray or old daddy lebron and fragile AD ???? who will be in need of that endurance lmao

I don't follow NBA anymore since Jordan & friends with Chicago v Malone & Stockton with Jazz.
And this algo showed me this, it brings back the memory.
Eventho' I learned that GSW won many titles, I don't really follow this sport anymore.
But if Denver could be the one, I would be happy. i love to see a team with less trophy can be the champ beating the giants.
If this is Game 1 we are in for a ride people! Thanks for the highlights 💪
Best match up in playoffs in years this gonna be a great series those 4th quarter runs in the nba are so good 😂
who will win?

Good game Nugs hust need to keep the pedal to the metal down the stretch. Control the tempo of the game to the final whistle 😊❤
Reeves turning it up at the end 🔥
Did the lakers understand that they have to defend as well? Put a hand up, block or something? Looking back at 1st game and its amazing to see how many 3 pointers DN scored without any issues.
murray is basically MJ when he needs to take crazy shots with the highest difficulty
