  1. Palifaith

    A finals between Jokic and Embiid would be epic ngl.

  2. Both_Funny4896

    how is Monty having such a hard time implementing KD into his offense? every shot he takes feels forced

  3. messydoughut

    Denver is playing team ball. Murray and Jokic’s two man game is so fluid. The suns are all iso.

  4. landlion35

    So that’s what happens when Booker doesn’t shoot 90%

  6. GGezpzMuppy

    Suns really don’t have a chance unless Booker and KD both go off for 40 and 50.

    Gonna need to have a close look at how to surround them this off-season.

  7. Petra_von_Kant_

    Jokić is clearly without any doubt the best player in the world right now

  8. CP3_for_MvP

    Huh. Turns out Book can’t shoot 80% every game. Maybe you do need some Chris Paul offence after all.

  9. Mysterii00

    Yeah but can he do it in the playo-

    **Ah fuck.**

  10. abris33

    I like when Booker doesn’t shoot 90% from the field.

  12. YeezyYeezyUp2NoGood

    A WIN OR GO HOME GAME IN PHOENIX

    Hmmmmm I’ve seen that movie before 🧐

  13. MisterPunchRockgroin

    Game turned when that little girl spilled her drink

  14. RipCity-NBA-LoL

    We really might get Embiid vs Jokic in the Finals

  15. _Russell_Westbrick

    Close game by half time

    Garbage time by mid of 3rd

  16. CleanMachine2

    ‪ I swear half of Denver’s points came off open dunks created by slick passing. Crazy stuff game 6 in phx should be great!‬
    ‪Also shoutout Booker. The only consistently good player on Phx this round, playing like a man possessed‬

  17. CarterAC3

    Turns out relying on 1 guy to shoot 80% on high volume isn’t a sustainable strategy on offense

  18. Realistic_Army_5395

    Jokic is the best player in this series

  19. TheGoldenLance

    Jokic is the clear BITW

    MPJ’s defense was amazing tonight

    Nuggets in 6. This is what it looks like when Booker doesn’t shoot 80%

  21. Chidoriyama

    If MPJ steps up next game it’s a guaranteed win

  22. Pro_phet

    Nuggets had a perfect third quarter. That was absolutely incredible to watch

  23. TheeCarlWinslow

    We’re so lucky to watch Jokic play basketball, man.

  24. Hydrauxine

    this is why Jokic doesn’t go for 53 every game.

  25. oldkidgrumble

    Suns Plan A: Devin Booker misses no shots

    Suns Plan B: ??

  26. spizcraft

    Jokic in this series has been so consistent, so utterly complete on offense, so composed, enjoy it while you can folks

  29. Michaelangel092

    Jokic started 2/9 and ended 12/20. Ridiculous.

  31. mnimatt

    Lmao Jokic telling Ernie he was hoping Ishbia would pay his fine

  32. historical_regret2

    I honestly believe that I was Bruce Brown’s first big fan in the NBA.

    Detroit drafted him and I had no idea who he was, but within 5 minutes of watching the college video I was sold. You could see everything he’s become. Every other Detroit fan seemed to be in love with the other guard drafted that year, Khyri Thomas, but I was sure Brown would be a starter before his rookie year was out. I couldn’t believe he’d fallen to Detroit in the second round.

    And then he started playing and started passing guys on the depth chart. He started becoming a legitimate NBA player. And then we inexplicably just handed him away for free.

    Glad to see him doing well. Always knew he’d be a star in someone else’s sky.

  33. GraveyardForActors

    Jokic in the post game interview after they ask him about going up to mat ishbia during the pregame and tossing him the basketball and dapping him up: “i was hoping he would pay my fine” hahah

  34. 12footjumpshot

    Chuck doesn’t mention MVP Embiid while listing the great players with a great personality

  35. iChoke

    You have to appreciate the greatness that is Jokic, man. Generational talent. What a fun man to watch.

  36. Dranem78

    If this goes to game 7, I want giant Jokic propaganda banners like Ivan Drago’s hanging from the rafters of Ball arena. The only music should be coming from a gramophone playing Serbian opera songs during player intros and timeouts. And it should be broadcast in black and white.

  38. KiryuXGoro

    Bruce Brown: 25 points

    Sun’s bench: 26 points

  39. kaceytronwhiteknight

    Jokic just had 29/13/12 with only 5 free throw attempts

    Jamal Murray had 9 points through 3 quarters when the Nuggets took a 17 point lead into the 4th

    Jokic is averaging 30.6/13.1/9.5 these playoffs

    Unreal what we’re watching

  40. daoogilymoogily

    Jokic is averaging 30.6/13.1/9.5 on 53.4% shooting in the playoffs. Not bad.

  41. FlashyClaim

    KD gonna ask a trade again 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
