Confused about the take on denver. Lakers blew the nuggets out when all there guys were healthy, split the series 2-2 but the loss at the start of the season lakers had their old roster not really an accurate representation considering they had d lo.
Then the most recent loss they barely lost by 5 but were missing LeBron, Luka, DFS, Rui, Gabe, and Jackson Hayes. Lakers blew the nuggets out with their roster healthy almost beat them missing 6 of their key players lol

Great performance by Luka going back to Dallas but there is absolutely no comparison what LeBron had to deal with none embarrassing to even ask that question

If bron end up with three rings with the Lakers would that make him a all time great laker 🤔

If bron could win two more championships would that make him better than Jordan

why do they keep saying if healthy everytime they talk about the mavs, kyrie was the only one out and he is not as impactful as luka or any #1 option

I think Lebron comeback is more memorable cause he did it in an hostile environnement. Few players can do that.

Mavs don’t regret trading Luka cause they did not want to pay him the max
In their view they are saving money

M&M is disrespectful at times. Watch every video she is in, she will roll her eyes or making frowning face while her colleagues are talking. ESPN should fire/replace this lady. Malika or Ramona is a lot better.
