Having to play MPJ heavy minutes is just freakin sad. If Denver had just a decent SF and one more capable bench player, they would be championship caliber.
Nuggets disrespects Jokicβs talents every game by putting him on the court with likes of MPJ! He should definitely consider leaving or at least go the management and ask them to bring in better players.
Lets go
For 2 consecutive games, denver shot over 40 3s but hit only below 30% of them!
The fact the 2 top players are complete opposites is awesome
So nuggets bottle this game
People saying Joker has been problem last games. Well. He gave all as big of a game the best player in the world can give and they still get a big L. It means he has been just fine these past games and in every series Nuggets ever played in. But others have been trash.
We may blame refs for OKC enjoying Joker for free elephant rides but why no one is doing anything but watching okc enjoy free elephant rides??? Fkuking get okc off of him or get some damn points and boards. Do anything to find a way to help.
Nuggets just 1 dimensional. Okc deep and so many contributing. Never count Nuggets out but never expect a win again playing as they have last few games. Give full credit to Okc. They continue playing win or lose. They know they are not the same pedigree but they know that if they sound play team ball every night, they have a chance.
Anyone saying SGA is Mvp and comparing him with Joker please stop. Joker is best in world bar none. Sga is definitely on the list of Mvp. A list that is not same as the ultimate best stud players.
Whats happening at 01:20 with the commentator
Nuggets dont have to play good in the fourth-quarter but they do need to stay focused. Not scared like they were
The amount of fouls not called on Joker is insane. It's clear the NBA wants OKC to go fwrd..
#JokerMVP #JokicMVP
O'Day
Windy cycle
Legal hired v. Barr appeal shots
npc ahh crowd
why does EVERYONE hate OKC? there's nothing wrong with them. just a young core having a great game.
TRADE PORTER & COACH, why the Coach still played Porter that attemped many missed shoot even wide open. At least, give the bench minute play to replaced Porter
Why is Porter Jr playing so much? The Nuggets have no bench, that is what is deciding this series. They get to the 4th quarter with no stamina in every game.
Mvp is the player who make point when needs to win
The 2 best teams left in the playoffs knocking 7 bells out of each other
This has to be one of the highest levels of basketball played in recent years. π π π
0:53 he did that side of the backboard miss on purpose, didn't he ? lol
ππππππππππ jokic fans are crying right now. Fake MVP, statpadding. He can't win without the help from the refs. ππππππ Chet is better than jokic and Wenbayama combined.
@kravchenko93 is nowhere to be seen. @pauloaugustocosta coward ππππππ
Joker mvpβ€
Way too many open 3s for OKC. That's what hurt Denver. And Denver needs to learn…MPJ is either hot in a game…or he cannot make a single shot…you can't be passing him the ball end of game when he has been cold.
Rigging for lebron, rigging draft lottery, rigging mvp for shai. what a shame NBA
Sga clutch
Just wow wow wow unbelievable welcome to the new generation season folks get comfortable these playoffs have been unreal and insane
JokiΔ and Gordon are basically playing alone against Oklahoma.
π’
Best NBA player with worst team of the league… What a shame…
Great win by the Okc
SGA is def the MVP but he is not necessarily 1 of the 2 best players in the league yet
Giannis for one is still ahead imo
SGA π«‘π«‘π«‘π«‘
Stop shiwing the score on the title ffs. Now I am not gonna see the video. Idiots…
This looks like 2K lol
Jokic is a better player but the OKC better team
it was sad to see how Jokic gave his all and the team couldn't do shit to win
Bruh this one of the best series in NBA history.
Two great teams but only one of them can be in the West Final.
usa is not the World
Shouldn't have let this one slip – Series is over with this game
This Series deserve a game 7
It's just a absolute foul to Jokic's offensive play.
SGA is protected like a white Bear, offense fault of Jokic what a joke. The judges affect the game so obviously.
Jokic game 2 6/16 fgm 6turnovers
Jokic game 3 8/25 fgm 8 turnovers
Jokic game 4 7/22 fgm
Ladies and gentlemen jokic isn't having a good series he is just volume shooting..he had a great game 1 and game 5 but that's all.and he had great help from Murray Gordon and Westbrook especially in the clippers series
Nikola with 5 FTA, dude gets fouled on almost every putback. If his name was Embid he'd be averaging 12 FTA per game this series. Ref following that Silver agenda πβοΈ.
Man we can't let it go! We have to win game 6 and 7, we deserve another nba title man, joker please! It's up to you!
Who is referee #74? Mistakes happen, but that looked deliberate. Curtis Blair has been an NBA referee since 2008 and wears jersey number 74.
In the May 13 game, the officiating crew included Zach Zarba, Curtis Blair, David Guthrie, and alternate official Gediminas Petraitis.
Braun closing instead of Russ is crazy to me
Litterally everybody score on jokic.
