Jokic has only played 21 games all year with Gordon & Murray…SGA hasn't had that disadvantage
Nuggets desperately need more production from their role players specifically braun and watson
21:53 a little out dated…
RIP the comments section. Show has gotten popular.

From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family
Brother I have 47
Was Westbrook paid to throw the game?
It’s actually not silly at all. Jokic is very clearly more deserving and more valuable.
It took Jokic almost an entire extra quarter to score 61, and he takes home another loss to the Timberwolves. Sorry that doesn't move me.
To be fair to Russ that really was not a good foul call. The refs could have easily called it the other way. As a matter of fact Lebron committed a similar foul on Josh Giddey in that Laker vs Chicago game a couple days ago and there was a no call on that.
A well rested Step Curry is a very dangerous man!!!!!!
Jokic is also leading the league in triple doubles tie for first and double doubles also did not play in the fourth quarter in many of his triple doubles
Being a Timberwolves fan is watching 15+ mins into breakdown of a game for anyone to mention that the Timberwolves in fact won. Westbrook -> Jokic 60/10/10 -> Jokic/Shay MVP race -> Scoring Title from some year -> Jokic did it against Gobert -> Lakers -> Playoff race -> Ant struggles in double teams -> Acknowledgement Timberwolves won
Most points in a triple double ever. League isn't ready for unethical Joker.
Jokic is now 0-4 in games where he scores 50+ points. Bros I'd crash out.
wait legs…isn't a fan saying the MVP race is over an opinion 😉
I hope SGA gets MVP… Then, he loses to Joker in the playoffs on his way to another title run. This is the dumbest MVP debate I've seen in years😂
Denver suffered a signature loss. Clearly Westbrook can not be counted on…and they're currently getting beaten by San Antonio. Joker needs more help.
If Steph had 2 OTs last night, he would’ve had a 70 point triple double with less than 10 FTs. In regulation he had 52 10 8 and 5 with less than 10 FTs and the refs not giving him calls. He would’ve done this at 6”2 and not at 7”. Steph had his numbers in about 35-36 mins. Joker needed over 50 mins and 24 FTs. Which is more impressive?
I appreciate Legler’s love for Curry. It feels like there’s too many people who don’t fully understand or respect Curry’s greatness
Jimmy closing games and the non Steph minutes has had the largest impact on the team.
“I mean, 60, 10, 10….nobody’s doing that.”
Well, Luka had 60/20/10….and they won.
Sorry Legs, Luka was 1st, 2nd, & 10th last year.
Th3 NBA should just go 50/50 on the MVP vote and do the first CO-MVPS in history.
Jokic mvp
like like like like. You have no business earning a living by speaking, if you don't know how to talk.
SGA plays all NBA level defence. Jokic has been in a different universe offensively but objectively bad defensively
Legs
DT dropped 73 in a losing effort to Detroit, but tied Gervin for the scoring title. Later that day, Gervin scored 63 to edge the Skywalker in his best season.
“…if you don’t think there’s a logical argument for both of these guys to be the MVP this year…then you don’t know shit about it.”
Legs speaking Truth
They outlasted them? 😂 or was it westbrook’s time to shine? Jesus. H. Christ.
So here’s the difference between a super-knowledgeable guy with excellent communication skills (Legler), and a knowledgeable guy without them. Starting around 12:05, I have no idea what the not-Adam guy is talking about, and I’m not an idiot 😂
Nice job Marc!
