Outlines
🏀 Lakers' Series Over - Analyzing Their Performance
The first paragraph discusses the end of the Lakers' series, highlighting the reasons given for their potential victory and the eventual loss. It emphasizes LeBron James' and Anthony Davis' performance, the role of DLo (Danny Green), and the Nuggets' unexpected winning streak. The speaker expresses disappointment and skepticism about the Lakers' chances, despite their best efforts in a particular game, and questions what could be said next about the team's prospects.
🤔 Lakers' Inability to Close Out and Nuggets' Resilience
The second paragraph focuses on the Lakers' failure to capitalize on their lead and the Nuggets' resilience as defending champions. It discusses the need for more contributions from the bench and role players and criticizes Anthony Davis for not maintaining his performance in the fourth quarter. The conversation also touches on the psychological impact of the Lakers' repeated failures and the Nuggets' consistent comebacks, suggesting a mental block for the Lakers.
🏆 The Challenge of Beating the Defending Champions
The third paragraph delves into the challenges the Lakers face against the superior Nuggets team. It argues that for the Lakers to win, every player must perform at their best for multiple games, which is a significant ask.

It emphasizes that in the fourth quarter, LeBron James had to take on a larger share of the responsibility, which is unsustainable. The summary acknowledges the need for collective effort and grace towards teammates when individual performances falter, suggesting that the Lakers must share the burden more evenly to succeed.

Transcripts
what's up family welcome to speak now I
have some tragic news for you if you're
a Lakers fan the series it is officially
over and here is why because I was given
a whole bunch of reasons why the Lakers
would win this series the first one was
well y'all ad is going to ball out well
ad he's had 32 points in the first game
and the second game but family you want
to know what happened lost and then they
said look LeBron he's good for at least
one game he's good for at least one win
well LeBron he's at 26 he's at 26 you
want to know what happened L then they
said hey AO as long as DLo gets hot well
DLo went 7 for 11 from three playoff
career high you want to know what
happened lost and lastly they tried to
tell me that the Nuggets there's no way
there is no way that the Nuggets will
win 10 straight well the Nuggets they
officially did and we all saw what
happened another freaking loss so what
will they tell you and me next I don't
know all knows this m it's going to on
the law why are you making so much noise
over there why are
you oh no I was the sound why are you
making so much noise the sound effects
like can you be an adult no you was make
some good points and I want to make you
I want to Big you
up family this is my long lost friend
Lesean Shady McCoy Eagles alltime
rushing leader a man who needs no
introduction on the far end that is
James Jones James I see you got the
monochromatic memo you look good sir you
do in fact look good Joy Taylor how are
we
I'm I'm
good Joy is good all right family this
is speak James you already know where I
stand on the matter the Lakers the
series is over I don't think the series
ever actually begun I think it was DOA
the series was dead upon arrival but
James you said that the Lakers would win
in six which now means they have to win
four straight and you will still be
right yeah yeah but is the series
officially over anything is possible man
it's
over this series here is over and the
reason why is remember yesterday I came
on the show and I said I'm not ready to
count the Lakers out because they did
not play their best and I think if DLo
would have had the game he had in game
one they win that game and I came on
there and I said if DLo shows up they
gonna be just fine well DLo did show up
he did he did show up and he had a
really good game and I know everybody's
like Austin Reeves nine points well
everybody ain't GNA have 25 everybody
ain't gonna have 30 right it's only one
basketball to go around for everybody to
get Buckets yesterday watching that game
I felt like that was the the Lakers best
game I felt like that was their best
punch and they threw it you were up 20
points in that ball game and you still
found a way to lose or the Nuggets still
found a way to win I don't know if the
Lakers have a better punch than that and
if they do it might be for one game but
they are definitely not winning four out
of the next five games against the
Denver Nuggets and that's why I'm saying
this series here is over they possibly
could win one they possibly could win
two but they are not winning four out of
the last five and watching the game I'm
like this was their time this was their
best punch and they threw it and the
Nuggets said it ain't good enough take
this loss with you down 20 game over
Murray called it as he shot that thing
over ad bucket
lost Jo you think the series is
officially officially officially over oh
brutal such a brutal we've turned James
I have turned James Jones I have turned
the Lakers
I show the Lakers turn change on me
watching the Lakers game I mean it's so
frustrating because it it was right
there it was right there but no I'm not
going to say it's officially over you
know I like to be technical officially
it is not over five games left now
they're going home I know it's it's a
big task but even though DLo showed up
and was great and LeBron was great and
ad was great through three
quarters they still didn't play play the
game that they needed to play no you
still needed more from the bench still
needed more from Austin Reeves you still
needed more you needed more from ad and
the fourth so I don't even know if I can
look at that game even though they were
up what 23 points at one point 23 and
blew that I don't look at this game as a
as the best game the Lakers could play
how about you hold on to the lead how
about you not go 10 straight possessions
in the third or eight straight
possessions without scoring how about
you not disappear in the fourth quarter
there are four quarters of play play we
talk about like first half performances
all the time what somebody looked like
two three quarters what does that matter
if you lost the game you didn't play the
game you needed to play there's a fourth
quarter that counts someone someone say
it means the most whoever's ATP at the
top of the end of that one is over up
okay so I can't really even look at this
game as the best game that the Lakers
have played because there were still
gaps everyone did not play their best
game ad did not finish the game the way
that he played the rest of the game
and look they had an opportunity to take
advantage of what through most of the
four quarters was a bad performance by
the Nuggets but they're the Nuggets
they're going to make a push they're the
defending champs for a reason they're
the best team in the league for a reason
you thought they was just going to chill
and they're at home you get a little
momentum going the crowd's involved so
no I can't look at this game and say
that this was the best game that the
Lakers could possibly play I don't think
it was overall holistically the best
game they played it's there was there
were still pieces that needed to be
picked up there was still effort that
needed to be made it was a brutal brutal
loss because you felt like they were in
control for most of the game and they
had an opportunity and it slipped away
from them but I can't say this is the
best game the Lakers could play you
think the Lakers still have
chance I mean they're going home now now
I think this next game is a must-win
game but you're literal you're literal
and technically it's not a must win it's
a mustn but not by Joy stand I think it
is a as close to as a literal must wi
game as I will allow the words to say
they got to win this next game two five
or you stand on the matter big dog is
the series over no no you know what's
more surprising about y reaction is
watching this game y think the Lakers is
done how can you feel like that let me
explain talk let him talk let him talk
I'm listening so if you watch the game
which I know you guys did right we were
texting through the whole time I was
excited the way the Lakers played they
came out a lot of their role players
played well in the beginning right you
look at how ad came on Bald out right
you look at how DLo everybody talk about
how he would shoot he's been playing
efficiently all year he did the same
thing in the beginning beginning of the
game right then as the the issues occur
was when I watched the third quarter
when they could had five or six minutes
where they couldn't score at all so when
the Nuggets couldn't score right y'all
couldn't score that's when you that's
when you make the lead even bigger and
they couldn't do it that's when the
nuggets made that big run Anthony Davis
yish is supposed to be the best per the
court that's what they told me that's
what he said he was getting dominated
all game until they made a change and
put Eric Gordon on Anthony Davis and
when they did that he had four points so
when you ask about like why I don't I
feel like they still have a shot is
because the way they played they played
phenomenal right and I don't think they
play Lakers did I don't think they
played their best game but they did play
well right but when I look at the game
is like okay if you telling me if we did
this whole over again right and you
telling me that um um um what's Mary
Jamal Murray if he's going to have a bad
half like he had right missing his first
like 13 shots right and then he gets hot
at the end I'm okay with that part
because if the role players can take
control in the beginning of the game I
want my stars to take over at the end I
need Anthony Davis to to go at Aaron
Gordon right you was killing Y and then
you didn't score at all when Aaron
Gordon got on you that was the biggest
difference LeBron James he started
closing that game out I was like okay
this is a time where our Superstar now
that our role players is carrying us or
not car but they play well he's going to
take over at the end I think if it if it
happens again like this Andy Davis has
to give me more than eight points in the
second half Here's my thought though
Shady just enough cuz they they they won
up on one shot they did if you look back
at this game right and and and you have
the the adjustments I do think they did
made a great adjustments with with
switching Aaron Gordon on them I just
think that if they come to LA right now
you're at home you have your fans there
your role players going to play way
better that's how it works you win both
of these games you going win both of
these games they wi both of these games
you take I said it's over but I hope
you're right hold on keep going keep
keep cooking you go to Denver though
right and you have the same format like
as last game as we watched last night I
think it goes different but you know
what's crazy though what's crazy is we
sitting here talking about the Lakers
right how well the Lakers played on the
road up 15 in the first game up 23 in
the second game you make one or two more
plays it's over because the Nuggets
ain't played their best basketball
that's what I'm saying like they're
coming back from 23 and and you ain't
got the best out of your team yet I hate
when yall do this you act like the
Nugget just say you know what we're just
playing bad I'm not saying it happened
somewhere I watched in the first half I
watched Anthony Davis and I said this I
said it yesterday I said yo for them to
have a chance I need the top defensive
player that who stream you are yeah to
guard him the whole game and majority of
the game what did Anthony Davis doas
might show you the point the the stat
line right if you don't watch game you
oh my God look at the St with you and
was holding his own against joic the
problem is at the end correct Yus showed
back up correct and AD did but here's my
thing Shady nothing that occurred is a
surprise what did we say what did I say
what did we collectively talk about
during yesterday's show I literally
showed y'all the full screen of AD tired
in the fourth now y'all said it was
because he missed a shot and it was more
emotional fatigue than anything else
it's now two games in a row fam it's now
two games in a row that ad I believe uh
we had maybe it was stack on one of the
shows previously Stephen Jackson and he
mentioned it's hard to put up a lot of
shots like it it it takes energy to to
shoot that much there's reason in my
mind that ad didn't shoot all that much
now I'm not even mad at ad in the fourth
quarter I'm not because LeBron was so
incredibly calculated the whole game he
played a beautiful game LeBron you could
just see him gauging how much energy you
you have to give the whole game if you
watch LeBron he was like okay you know
what I'mma Pace myself ad he got it and
D Lo's hot right now so LeBron in the
fourth quarter said I'm going to kick
and I'm going to Sprint it was like
watching allice and Felix one of the
greatest track runners ever towards the
latter half of her career she could
properly gauge just how much energy she
needed to conserve to make sure she
could kick at the end and still beat you
that's what LeBron did he went 5 for n
in the fourth had 12 points he shot nine
of the Lakers 18 field goals in the
fourth but it still wasn't enough Joy I
simply believe that every route the
Lakers take is a dead end we said ad has
the ball he has two games in a row we
said LeBron is going to take one game he
hasn't we said DLo just needs to get hot
family DLo started five for five he made
more threes in yesterday's game than
he's ever made in a playoff game in his
career that wasn't enough we said the
Nuggets can't win 10 straight wasn't
enough Lakers shot 40% from three
nuggets shot 23% from three Lakers shot
48% from the field nuggets shot 40% from
the field Jal Murray went 9 for 24 from
the field and the Nuggets still won I
don't know what route Joy what realistic
route will lead the Lakers to success
the rest of the roster has to show up as
well the role players have to put up
more points they have to hit their shots
they have to hit their threes it can't
just this is the best team in the league
this is the defending champs the Lakers
are not as good as them in order for
them to beat them everyone has to show
up that wasn't all I said had to happen
also by the way Anthony Davis was really
good except for the fourth quarter where
was he in the fourth quarter he had no
points he was tired that's not
acceptable like not that's not accept
that's not an acceptable answer is it is
it is it not Joy you've watched enough
ad to know acceptable or not it is the
what I expect from Anthony Davis and
what Anthony Davis is actually going to
do might not be the same thing but if
we're ask asking what's the solution for
the Lakers to beat the Nuggets who are a
superior team top to bottom who are the
defending champs who have the best
player in the league right now who can
have a bad game through three quarters
and show up and then dominate in the
fourth On Any Given night Jamal Murray
who can hit that shot not a surprise at
all that he hit that shot over Anthony
Davis who is one of the top defenders in
the league all of these things we know
so in order for this Lakers team that is
not as good as this nuggets team I think
it's safe to say at this point they're
not in order for them to beat them
everybody who touches that court has to
have their best game for multiple games
to win this series that is a huge ask
it's not an impossible ask it's been
done before in the past in NBA history
but in order for this to happen in this
series against this team that's what's
going to be required so yes is it great
that DLo had the game he had yes did
LeBron Pace himself perfectly and and
show up when he needed to yes did
Anthony Davis have a really good
impressive performance through three
quarters yes but still didn't show up in
the fourth the rest of the role players
needed to do more they have to play a
perfect game on top of Denver not
playing their perfect game that's a lot
of asks but that's what that you're
asking what the formula is that's what
it is and we didn't watch the formula
last night we think we did because at
one point in the game they were
dominated I don't know if the formula
exists James I don't like I hear I hear
Joy saying the formula but we've all
been athletes at this desk to imagine
the Lakers playing per all their players
playing a plus game GES four times with
opponents I just don't know if I Qui
quick question for y'all as an
athlete you ain't beat somebody 10 times
do you think this has like a mental
effect on the Lakers because every time
we are waiting for the Lakers to deliver
in certain situations they always make
the mistakes and the Nuggets always make
the plays like do you think at this
point 10 straight games like it's mental
for the Los Angeles I think it matters
and I think I'm the most qualified
because I'm the least qualified at least
at pertains to NFL on this desk if Shady
beats me 10 times going up to the 11th
in my head I'm like of course I got fake
confidence I'm going to get him on this
one ain't no way he going to beat me 11
times in a row but he could beat me 11
like I think there's some psychology to
it right so my thing is this right you
talk about confidence
right when you when they wash his tape
as a coach right ham he's the coach and
he's like okay do you think when he's
showing you the good the bad and all
that do you feel like yo we're defeated
we can do nothing to beat this team or
you saying like yo we really had these
dudes we let him off the hook saying
that okay let's let's reverse it Malone
right the head coach of the Nuggets when
you watch this tape on the first game do
you want say on the second game when you
tell your team you like yo we show them
or it's
like I I I think I
think I think Malone's saying yo we
haven't even played well yet and we up
two well I think he's saying we didn't
even play our best ball and we up two
well well listen that that's cool and
all that when he's going to show the
tape of his MVP the most dominant player
in basketball I think is getting shut
down right by ad cuz we got we can't ad
wasn't inurance I was so surprised to
see him guard him so much I said that's
he can do it that's what we talked about
the only issue is if ad gives you that
same not even the same half of the of
the type of intensity and energy he gave
and the first half and the second half
you keep talking about shooting and
scoring what about just getting some
fouls right what about going to the free
throw line because all he needed to do
is is is is is get another what six
seven points they ain't L to asked for
the reason I'm frustrated with this
conversation is because it's like y'all
keep asking for something that we
haven't yet seen the one time the Lakers
won a championship with ad we've talked
about it extensively Joy you and I have
been at this network the longest I've
heard you talk about it extensively
before being on this show there was a
bubble in which he ad had a four-month
break so the one time we saw ad his
climactic performance on the basketball
court he had four months off I don't
think that's coincidence then last year
he's co he's routinely injured then this
year he plays the most games he's ever
played last game in the fourth quarter
he's G
this game last game being first game
this game in the fourth quarter joic
went to work on him Shady you are
correct ad was in his grill for the
first two and a half three quarters but
in the fourth quarter joic went to work
post move post move post move backp if
if y'all are continuing to ask ad to do
something that he's never shown you the
ability to do his best year Joy you
talked about it before I ever talked
about it there was a covid four Monon
break so I'm just like if y'all keep
asking ad to do something it's like the
kids y'all have y'all know better than
to ask him to do something y know he
can't do even if he just had the
performance he had last night and the
role players played up to what they're
capable of
playing if they don't go on that stretch
where they don't score any points for
however many minutes 10 possessions if
they don't go on that stretches they win
this game it's it's not just about okay
so ad might not show up in the fourth
quarter what about all this other stuff
we're acting like everyone played
perfect and AD played perfect except for
the fourth quarter and that was the
difference it wasn't they had a massive
lead they were in control of this game
for most of the game they let it slip
away because the nuggets are a serious
team who are going to make a push and
honestly even if the Nuggets weren't as
good as they as they are this is the
playoffs the teams are going to make a
push at the end of the game you're going
to start slacking off a little bit
they're going to make an adjustment
somebody's going to get hot it doesn't
mean that they're going to close the
lead entirely but all teams are going to
make a push you know that these are the
momentum things to change especially
when they're at home you have to be
perfect you have to have I se that and I
and I seen that was like like what she's
talking about I put it in my note right
for the today they went 6 minutes and
they couldn't score I said bro this is
going to be the difference in this game
because if the Nuggets can't score and
then y'all can't score right what's the
difference that's the problem started
scoring that's the problem too though
because the Nuggets did not shoot the
basketball well they were missing a lot
of shots so that's what I'm lie now I
got to give credit to ham ham had a a
nice game plan he did right when y keep
saying that oh the Nuggets didn't play
that that well they didn't play that
good like we're omitting the fact that
the Lakers did it to them that's what
say so my thing is you build on that
sure but here's was a lot of wide open I
have two thoughts because I think what
Joyce said is true but the thing is we
also omitting is if the Lakers bench
just plays better they win that game
assuming the Nuggets play as bad as the
Nuggets did outside of Jo joic and mpj
the Nuggets players went 0 for 20 from
three 0 for 20 so we talking about the
Lakers bench yeah the Nuggets players
went over for 20 from three so assuming
the Nuggets don't get better is the
other contingent in order for the Lakers
to do exactly but see I'm not even
saying the the the Lakers bench kind to
play better they they they play well
who's the biggest reason who bigest
reason the Lakers lost the two the two
issues I had was when that long period
time when they wasn't scoring when the
Nuggets couldn't score and then y'all
couldn't score that was the issue cuz
the Nuggets started scoring eventually
that's one of them the second one is I'm
going to ad right fourth quarter fourth
quarter though that hurts me I'm being
honest though not even the I'm I'm going
to go the second half right cuz he had a
couple little buckets whatever when they
made the change and and they put Aaron
Gordon on on Anthony Davis you SE a big
difference you got to go to work you got
to go to work now I I was trying to
figure out is it cuz he's more athletic
they did it to keep ad from going to
work though but that's what I'm saying
what I'm saying like no no no no no he
did a great job on what I'm saying is Yo
force the issue because all they need is
a couple points extra points the game
came down to the last shot for a reason
right y had the big lead they came all
way back when you when you down by so
many points and you got to use all this
energy to score to catch up to play good
defense they don't SC that's a lot of
energy all we need for Anthony Davis is
a couple more buckets BR let me ask the
whole table this I
remember you can't play that good just
think about this I have a whole 250
yards
rushing crazy give me 200 yards rushing
right and I give you 150 160 in the
first half and I don't I really give you
anything in a second yeah can't have a
great game I remember and James I got to
go with you on this one though I
remember listening to this one podcast
and it was talking about this couple and
the couple said every time they get home
from work what they ask each others what
percent are you on I'm I got 50% of tank
I got 50% of the tank cuz their tanks
need to hit 100 and if their tanks ever
don't collectively combine for 100 I got
20 I got 80 I got 60 I got 40 I got 50 I
got 50 if they don't collectively hit
100 they take a step back and they say
you know what we got to give each other
Grace there reason I have an issue with
what you're saying shady is because in
the first half ad said hey Braun I got
80 Braun said bet I got 20 I got 20% for
you in the in the second quarter ad said
hey Bron I got 75 braon said bet I got
25 for you in the fourth quarter Braun
now has to come up and say hey ad I got
90 because that's what happened we can't
keep blaming in my mind we can't keep
blaming ad for not showing up in the
fourth quarter cuz Braun where were you
