    I don’t see LA winning this series. Joker played outta his mind, with a big ole triple double.

    Denver was far the superior team in game 1 and it showed. It was cute the Lakers tried a come back. But ultimately it was men against boys. Not pretty for Lakers.

    The Miami Heat and the Lakers will be in the 2023 NBA Finals. It’s so predictable. Lebron will be playing his old team. 7th and 8th seeds. What a story.

    Jokic man…wow! it seems like he’s over his regular season MVP awards and now if 1000% focused on winning the Championship this season. Gained a boatload of respect for his game since this postseason started

    The Lakers are going to be sent 🏠 home by the Nuggets maybe Labron James will retire he older and his legs are not strong as they use to be and those nuggets are young and on a mission the Joker ain’t no joke the Lakers are definitely going to lose on Thursday keep watching I was right about game1.
