Nuggets offense at the rim was pathetic if it wasn’t Jokic challenging him

He affected Denver’s offense so much but fortunately Jokic and AG’s defense dragged them to a win late

And that’s his 6th game in a row with 15+ rebounds. (EDIT : Sorry I meant rebounds, its late here in Europe)

Does that count as a rebound?

Wemby also forced multiple nope-outs around the rim by Braun/Hardaway etc.

This game also gave us the unforgettable image of Wemby flopping so hard that he hurt his head. 😂

Atleast we got a real game between mvp candidates. This is what you want to watch for a 7 game series.

Yeah they were pretty equally elite

34/18/7/1/5 in 39min

Vs

40/8/13/3 in 44 minutes

That’s a pretty even duel lol.

Jokic and Wemby both played like they deserve to be neck and neck in the MVP conversation

Yup, both are neck and neck, competing for 2nd place

The problem is Wemby disappeared at the end of regulation and OT. He literally did nothing. He looked absolutely drained because he isn’t use to playing high minutes like that which isn’t good especially in the playoffs. He played great though

Sold the defence on the play denver tied it missed the winner then ghosted in ot just cause he had a good game doesnt mean theres nothing to criticize

The one game to have both Keldon and Fox put up stinkers and it’s vs a prime Jokic and hungry Nuggets squad fighting for playoff seeding haha

Yeah some attempted hero ball by him may have swung the game.

I couldnt watch the game in full but I had time to tune in the 3rd qtr and both times, it was Fox bricking mid range shots lol, I didnt realize it will be like that the whole game

Almost like a player can have a bad game sometimes…

He’s supposed to be our “playoff vet” too. I worry.

He’s so long and agile that Wemby will likely never be that strong since it comes with an increased risk to his joints.

I don’t think a true power game is in his future anyway. He’s too lanky and everyone on the planet has a lower center of gravity.

I feel like he is going to have at least 1 game where he massively struggles especially if his jumpshot voed missing

I have a sneaking feeling they won’t swallow their whistles when it comes to contact on him specifically 

No they lost because Wemby took a crazy fadeaway jumper at the end of regulation and he got locked up by Aaron Gordon. Dude had 2 points in OT… Did absolutely nothing

I wanna know how many guys in the league wouldn’t look gassed after 40 minutes (and 17 straight across the 4th and OT) in Denver

Tbf Jokic looks gassed all the time, though I don’t think he actually is that’s just how he moves.

To be fair, he’s in high altitude guarded by AG, one of the more physical and strong guys in the league, and then guarding Jokic, while also being an active 2-way player.

Playoffs is a little more physical and better teams. Most basketball he will have played in a season.

Not everyday you’re in Denver’s altitude.

Well, except for those three where he bopped Jokic on the head and the Nuggets got T’d up a few times lol

they were but nobody ever gives sga that grace lol

yea falling down when nobody even touched him..Thats surely FTS….lol

Or Wemby could’ve made that shot over Aaron Gordon who is 8 inches shorter… Oh and not disappear in OT… But Wemby is perfect lol and his teammates get all the blame

See you in san antonio, but i feel like wemby and jokic (if they reached the 65 games) might not even play since is the last game of the season.

I would be shocked if the Spurs play their starters in the final game.

Because he lost to a guy directly under him? Thats how it usually goes.

And it doesnt matter anyway, SGA had the MVP locked the moment Jokić got hurt. People are just eating up gambling company pushed agendas made to make people bet more on a race that has been over for a while.

If your claim to MVP is your defence and the other guy is scoring on you in isolation, in the clutch, then yeah it hurts your MVP case.

Other guys could have played better for sure though.

You can’t be an MVP getting locked up by Aaron Gordon at the end of regulation and only scoring 2 points in OT… Oh and Jokic dropping 40 on you

Jokic will make those shots on literally anyone. It didn’t matter who was in the game. Would’ve been way happier with Braun shooting his 12th 3.

At the and of the 4th and OT he was horrible

You did not watch the game if that’s your opinion lmao

This little nephew watched some highlights and comes in here lecturing the people who watched the game from start to finish, gotta love it lol

Thats what happens when you get hacked dude

Bro you did not watch the game lmao, the Nuggets strategy was to foul so he wouldn’t dunk it wtf

That’s the difference between getting free throws by being hacked at the rim, and getting free throws by jumping into your defender and then aiming for the Neymar Academy Award I guess.

Everything is about SGA with Thunder fans.

I love how you got downvoted 😂 dude got locked up by Aaron Gordon and completely disappeared in OT

Didnt sga just shoot 25 fts

Best part of the game thread was the lack of Thunder fans.

Ahh yes Wemby choked while a 28 vet threw a shitty alley op followed by a bricked middy down two with limited time
