Cam’s right. The physicality permitted on Jokic vs SGA that series was so obviously skewed. I wouldn’t care about the hard defense and occasional fouls but all their flopping was frustrating
They should call all the fouls. It's ridiculous. OKC, Rockets, etc. It's ugly and not good basketball.
to translate: they’re only the best defense because they’re dirty and foul
Well there is no use complaining to refs who are meat riding OKC defender like crazy. Lu Dort, AC and Cason must have the ref’s families hostage.
this dude so sweaty in all these videos why
Yup and if you notice when okc was being played that same way nobody came out complaining like the rest of the nba done all season, if they can play like that so can you, try it
welcome to denver!
Welcome to denver
I’ve been telling people I’ve seen it since the cavs series, pacers was playing okc type defense and that threw the Cavs off, cause they didn’t know they could play that physical on defense which a lot of times it should of been fouls called.
He’s right now that I think about it Indy didn’t complain they just came with equal intensity
And now we got this brain to help us understand what to do
Welcome to Denver 🔥🔥🔥
You ain't lying Cj…pacers gave us the hardest series in the playoffs but we got the chip
God he just sounds smarter than MPJ too lol
The thing is, since a guard guards center, he can do all he wants. But, if center does the same, it is immediately a foul!
So excited this guy is part of the Nuggets org now
At least … seems that he is smarter than MPJ.
The refs allowed the physicality from both teams because it was the finals. Indy would have won if Hali had not torn his achilles
Except Jokic was getting called for touch fouls and in foul trouble from the go! It's called cheating plain and simple!
He is going to be a great Nugget
Yeah if that was street ball we would’ve seen a team brawl.
Foul on Jokic, foul on Jokic…
He's gonna replace Murray
They foul and don’t get called for it
he's right, the pacers came with equal aggression, but I think my main problem was the fact that against denver, refs would call the foul on them but not on okc even though it was the exact same play, it's frustrating, there's so many videos online that shows how aggressive okc was playing and yet denver couldn't bring out the same level of physicality on okc because they were calling the fouls on them that they don't call on okc.
I took it as okc downplaying to competition and being complacent like I’ve seen them do so many times
Very smart
Exactly the Nuggets are bunch of pussies!
Gonna be a coach after he retires
Hell of a pick up, now go get a point of attack defender and let Jokic compete for another chip.
Nuggets possibly championship
Denver wasn’t allowed to and it always ends with Shai at the ft line
Imagine if SGA played against this OKC defence 😂
