After the Nuggets convincingly defeated the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last year, ultimately leading them to their first championship, certain members of the team, particularly coach Michael Malone, took the opportunity to emphasize their success and highlight the disparity in media coverage between the two teams during the series.

The Lakers did not appreciate that and vowed to get Denver back this season, and were set to get their first chance at reve𝚗ge in the season opener as the Nuggets got their rings on Tuesday night. That figured to be a perfect opportunity for the Lakers to play spoiler, and in the preseason they made clear it was a game circled on their calendars. Anthony Davis, in particular, made it known that he couldn’t wait to play the Nuggets after all their talking.

Safe to sаy LeBron and AD are motivated to face the Nuggets after all their trаsh talk 

“It was just a lot of talking. We get it, y’all won, but me and Bron had some conversations… we can’t wait [to play them].” 

Fast forward to Tuesday night and as the Nuggets put the finishing touches on a fairly comfortable 119-107 win, the Ball Arena crowd serenaded the Lakers with a “Who’s Your Daddy?” chant, rubbing a little more salt in the wоund of another loss to Denver. Meanwhile on Twitter, Davis found himself getting dunked on after this video resurfaced and fans had an awful lot of fun with the fact that he had 0 points in the second half while Nikola Jokic put up another big triple-double as the Nuggets pulled away with the win.
