Missi did his best AD impression at the end
4th
A minute ago is crazy
less than a min team
👇
Jokic going strong with another triple double💪
dam they listened to fans to dont put scores on the thumbnail lol
Denver Nuggets got another Win ..
Jokic and Murray need to more and keep aggressive played ..and they finally did
Everyone win vs pelicans😅😅
definition of strong team, always find a way to win game down the stretch regardless how much they were trailing. Meanwhile bad team always found a way to lose game with turnovers and bad defense or got cold in shooting spree.
WESTBROOK FOR MVP
Honestly. The Pelicans offensive play calling was terrible
NUGGETS ARE A HOT MESS RIGHT NOW!!!!!! AND STILL FINDING WAYS TO WIN!! THAT NON-GOALTENDING CALL FOR NEW ORLEANS IN OT WAS COMPLETE BS!!!!!!!! POETIC JUSTICE THE NUGGETS WON ANYWAY!! the dj
More free throw endings.
Nobody cares about the NBA, football is a way better sport than basketball
That was one of the worst breakdowns of a team I've seen…new orleans..pathetic!…literally gave it away..can't even make free throws…pathetic…this is how u can tell if a team is a winner or losers
keep shooting 3s hehehe
Jokic should always get a 3 second violation call
You see the Nuggets blow a couple of plays away and still Pelicans lost, this one gotta hurt.
Total failure at the FT line from the pels
I liked my own comment because nobody else will 😢
The whole ending sequence is what's wrong with the NBA right now. Nobody wants to watch constant free throw attempts at the end of the game. Look at the people leaving because they know it's just going to be foul, free throw, foul, free throw. I get that these teams want to win so ofc they're going to do whatever it takes, but it should be the NBA's job to change the rules and FORCE players and coaches to adapt to a change in regulations. The game needs some new rule change or else every single close game will end like this from now on.
Nuggets are good
my god the pels have 0% trust to missi a lot of pick and roll opportunity in the final minutes and all cj and murray pass back and forth outside smh.
Whats so "amazing" about this 😂 yt clickbait is a mf😂
bro basketball is so boring until the end, just show me the end bruh
edit: this was a "thriller" btw
2:11 – CJ DEEP THREE….low percentage. lmao
CJ McSold'um and DeJunkty Murray. Just depressing.
nba basketball is really crap when its a tie game… dude takes a contested step back 3… UMMM… GO TO THE FUCKING RIM?????? HELLO?
More practice in ft
Just dissolve the Pelicans man..they don't bring anything on the table..they are just a farming team..
Yikes! The Nuggets aren't looking good.
Bugok
The announcer was so mad the whole time😭
Pels had zero ball movement in OT.
Jokić MVP, and is not even close! Serbian basketball genius! 🏀🧠💪
I thought if you intentionally foul in the final minutes. The opposing team can choose who can take the shot.
I remember this being implemented to stop the hack-a-shaq strats
