Eric reading super chats is hilarious 😭 mixing up words all over the place
This team looks AWFUL. Why do they not know how to throw entry passes to Jokic? The pass has to come from the WING not the top center of the 3 point line. This is all a product of how bad a coach Michael Malone is. I'll bet anyone they're a first round exit this year. You know, FRONTING in the post is a solved problem, ask Shaq.
The word is out – Michael Malone will not make adjustments, so front Jokic and the Nuggets will have no answer. EMBARASSING – FIRE the coach.
Tell Vogt he’s doing a great job
Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
ZEEEKE!
Somehow I have a feeling that giving the ball to Westbrook to shoot 3s in the clutch won't work. But maybe I'm wrong
The reason why there is a difference when a little guy makes contact vs a big guy is the definition of a foul is when it significantly impedes the movement of the offensive player.
So, while they definitely still lean in favor of smaller players, in theory Yuki could run into Edey 4 times harder than Edey could run into Yuki for it to have the same effect according to their mass.
If Sabonis had been there… phew 😅
Khm khm…. Couple of accidental orbital bone fractures should help with overly abusive physical players
Can’t stand the Malone haters. Y’all need to take a deep breath! He’s one of the best coaches in the NBA and has taken this team from irrelevance to champions. He’s been running the same rotation and minutes (depending on injury) all year long. He’s said time and time again, we play Nuggets basketball and teams adjust to us. And even with those adjustments we’re right there for the 2 seed. He’s a vet. He’s not going to panic, switch it up, and give teams a chance to prepare for a counter going into the playoffs. He’s saving any major adjustments for the playoffs. If we were in the 7-10 seed range then I’d agree with you. I trust him. If you want complain about something, complain about Calvin wasting Jokic’s prime and not having the guts to move MPJ who has one of the worst contracts in the nba when it comes to return on investment. When they gave him the contract they were taking a bet that he’d elevate to all star caliber. He hasn’t and won’t. He’s gotta go this offseason in exchange for 3&d role players to add depth or cap space to sign guys who can defend and shoot the 3. Jokić will elevate whoever they can bring in and they can make up MPJ’s production in a Moneyball-esque way. Argue amongst yourselves about that last part MPJ lovers, I know I’m right 🤷♂️
"Hahaha bro said I think it's still over it weren't great"
Not contenders but better to be winning than losing
Pickett was really bad.
Defence against Joker shows how great he is. Literary whole team is focusing just on ONE guy on the floor.
I wish there was some kind of meter so we could get a better idea of whether or not Russ is back
Until this team proves it can beat quality opponents, they are of no interest to me.
We are so fucked up with Westbrook 🙄
Letting Russ to be Russ is deadth sentence for the playoff. It is insane that he have more fg than anybody.
We barely beat weakened Sacramento at home without Sabonis and Monk.
Can we please trade MPJ.
The league doesn't want jokic and the nuggets to be good anymore so that the Lakers can win every year. Facts
Aaron Gordon has been a giant puss* this season
Zeke showing some Hart these days.
Zeke deffence is perfect for playoff, when refs allow more contact
Luka trade , its obvious it was directed by NBA and Adam Silver to make drama and sell the product. Game with Lakers was also stagged
Anyone who watched the game could see that half of those double and triples they made on Jokic were fouls ,they allowed Lakers to hack and slash Jokic.
Why , what better way to sell Lakes product then to make miraculous comeback from all those years of humiliation .
The commercial in down time were only LAKERS , you would have thought that there was only one team playing as if DNVR didn't play game at all. Any time out first screen shot was LAKERS !!! vs WHO?
Refs kept same measurement stick in games that followed to keep Jokic at bay , he cant be dominating because he is not selling things he comes to work ,does his thing and goes home. No they want to sell and that is SGA ,Bron/LAkers new miracle. Then they say well look other team are doing it to, its not that we gave Laker special treatment anyone can chop a pound of Jokic burger if they wish it will never be called as foul! You get justification of your own faulty agenda.
NBA will never allow Jokic to have back to back MVP again or trpl, ,because they want to keep a myth of OLD basketball players and keep selling discourse and narratives why this one was better than that one.
DNVR does not sell, its simple and what better way to strangle DNVR than to allow smaller player to bring machetes and cut of Jokic legs before they whistle anything.
Disgusting
Can’t believe yall played the funky music for this 🥴
What are your thoughts on people saying that the refs saved this game for the Nuggets? The FT disparity is huge. Was the game called evenly?
28:43 This is the thing that will now open up with this new approach of guarding Jokic. They are putting 2 players on Jokic, one in front, one behind before he even touches the ball. This means that when Jokic is out on the elbow, that the driving lanes will open, and rim protection will often not be there. So driving to the basket will be the new reliable play. Both Russ and MPJ were taking advantage of this throughout the game. … We need more of this!
DID U SEE, JOKIC is playing with the worst team in the league with two bench players having MAX contracts
Zeke 25:17 -And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. Prepare for the Zeke-pocalypse.
We won that game but this game and the previous 2 games shows that Mike Malone is not a good coach.He has not adjusted in the way Nikola is being guarded.This is the way he is going to be guarded the rest of the year and in the playoffs.There offence is the same old dribble handoff,screen and roll to the basket.Now they are fronting him and we don't have any good passers to get hime the ball.He needs to start from the low post then come high or someone screening his man so he can get the ball, how can't he not figure that out? Nikola is getting frustrated and Malone isn't helping him out.Having Russ shooting 3s and Nikola not getting the ball is going to kill this team.Im shaking my head the whole game watching the Nuggets garbage offence not to mention there horrible defence.Its very frustrating. Its a win but the way they are playing gives you no confidence that they will do anything in the playoffs.
Is it just me or am i not seeing any pick&roll between Jokic and Murray anymore?
I would love to see teams doing this defense shenanigans vs Jokic with Bogdan Bogdanovic on our team. Bogi would incinerate them for 50!
Well… We are so back baby. We gonna win the 🏆!!! 💪💪💪💪
Wait 🫷😔
Nope
Still first round exit. If lucky to play Memphis we end season in second round. And it's going to be Sucses fs 🎉😢
But takes like we are holding it for the playoffs, lol my god that's mind-blowing 😆🤣😆🤣😬
