Jason Smith: โIf the Nuggets donโt get to the Finals and win the title this year, I donโt know when they will. Everything is going right for them... They have the guys they need, they are playing well as a team and you have the 2 time MVP who is playing like an MVP. Also, this isnโt a โgood lossโ for the Lakers, a loss is a loss! There are no moral victories, you either win or you lose, I donโt expect you to quit in the Western Conference Finals either! ย It is now desperation time for the Lakers.โ
Mike Harmon: โNo doubt, the Nuggets have the rotation that is really helping them progress as a team these playoffs. Youโve also got everyone healthy, and you have to give the Nuggets credit for playing the game they did. The Lakers got owned on the boards, especially in the first quarter.โ
Tonight on The Jason Smith Show, the listeners get the opportunity to listen to Jason & Mike as they give live updates of the Lakers-Nuggets game that ended in a 132-126 Nuggets win. ย Jason doesnโt hold back and gives the Lakers zero credit for the comeback and close game. He is tired of seeing Twitter talk about how it was โa good lossโ for the Lakers. Mike agrees, but also points out that the Denver played an extremely good game.
