It’s over
I think heavy body defenders do better v Jokic. CAT gotta get back on him
This is why I can’t watch sports talk. It’s like watching mental delinquents babble to each other. Leave your prejudices for your favored at the door.
Perk is definitely delusional.
Even when apologizing, SAS is still wrong. He's only saying that Minnesota screwed him, and hasn't given any actual props to the Nuggets. It's not like the Harden Rockets when they choked and missed 27 straight 3s, Denver just showed who they really were and showed who Minnesota really was.
Listen closely…Steven A said "I never thought in my wildest dreams, that I'd BE able to say that (the Denver Nuggets are on the verge of being swept). Words mean what they mean. Steven A was actively hoping he would see the Nuggets swept. Wishing for it. And given he described the Nuggets as led by Jamaal Murray, ain't no secret why he's hoping so hard.
It's over already Kendrick doesn't know it but the T wolves do. If you talk you better be able to back it up and young teams don't. Denver isn't a young team and Minnesota won't be there for awhile. Also Kendrick just gave Denver more fuel for their fire that they didn't need. They're beating everyone in front of them including whoever comes out of the East.
They don't give credit to the joker on First Take. It's been always like this
Dumb clown with a big mouth.
I am with you perk I don't give f**k who says what. I believe in you just like I believed in you when you were saying clippers were winning the championship this year🥹
You shoulda been embarrassed with those philly takes back when they had ben simmons, actin like they was the squad of the future
I dont see why he is getting alot of flack for that take they looked horrible the first 2 games it did seem like they was going to run thrm through would have been a different prediction if it started the other way
The lakers played them tougher to be honest there were no blowouts we just didn’t get it in clutch time but props to Denver
“Rudy Go Brrrr with that little pea shooter, ain’t nobody scared of that man!!” 🤣🤣😭😭
What has he been right about?
Wishful thinking on Stephen A’s part (clear bias against Jokic, wants to see Anthony Edwards ascend)
It’s fair cuz perk hates Denver so much he can do the mental gymnastics to make it make sense in his own mind
black forrest gump Perkins clearly said the Wolves would "sweep" the Nuggets. now he's saying the Wolves will win it in 7. lol. this series is OVER. Jokic is taking these puppies to school
If Nuggets wins next game, Perks credibility will be the lowest of his career.
Jokic heard perk and took it personal
The nuggets spotted them the first two games then said ok time to get serious
Hahahaa black tv media guys celebrated the new Michael Jordan
nuggets gonna win this series. They smell blood and now they're picking up their knifes and forks.
