  1. The fact I thought the shot was going in because he has made them before 😂 then here come Gordon, I just counted it as a pass😂🤷🏽‍♂️.

  2. Such a close game tied up at 99 at the 0.1 mark and the efficiency splits were basically the same. Great basketball. Hilarious that Harden got mad at CB for playing physical.

  3. I think that was a calculated pass at the end from Jokic to Gordon.

    Jokic lures Zubac out with a contested 3 and Gordon had the mismatch with Harden that he took advantage of to dunk it. They had a timeout right before, so I'm assuming they drew that up to close the game.

    If Jokic was gonna take a shot by himself to close a game, I think he'd take a 2 pointer because he's much more efficient with those.

    And that's why he didn't react at the end when Gordon made it.. He knew that was gonna happen.

  4. lol… that ladies is gentlemen is two extremely exhausted dudes just trying very hard to be polite and helpful while desperately wanting to get home after a huge win.

  5. Okay Aaron Gordon is an enormous man. He is 6'8" and weighs 235lbs in season. Sitting next to Joker and look at their shoulders. Jokic is easily 3 inches wider. A game of giants.

  6. Honestly think these interviews should be done next day after the game. They look exhausted and hungry

  7. Not a fan of either team..but hate the Clips n Kawhi so much I am rooting for the Nuggs. But Lakers all day. Move the Clips back to SD

  8. Happy to see Jokic & Gordon treating LA media like the media treats them… short sweet nothing to see nothing more to give you for your lousy coverage

  10. Joker is really, totally a basketball nerd. Remembering a game moment from 2010 eurobasket in post-game interview. That says something about him.

  11. Their vibe helped me with my depression more than standup specials these days. Top 3 post-game interview of all time to me.♥ LETS GO NUGGETS

  12. How denver won this game is crazy, lac has so much more talent and depth. Jokic doing heavy ass lifting
