[Highlight] Jaden McDaniels scores the bucket but pushes Nikola Jokić from behind, sparking Aaron Gordon to have some words. McDaniels is hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct technical foul.
Mcdaniels always does something stupid when he gets frustrated lmao and then he always does the same shit where he just stares with the deadest eyes ever ➡️ like he didn’t do anything
What be going on in bros head 😭
Its been building all game. The Murray phantom calls against him he was irate in his own way, and finally blowed over after not getting the call on this play. Hes a slow burner, but when hes had enough he crashes out
So many sus whistles in this game with no replays lol
I feel like half the time I didn’t know what the foul call was or who it was even on
Better get random reaction shots of the players or crowd, no way to possibly show a replay from one of the 5 cameras pointed at the court at all times
Im convinced that the league has instructed broadcast partners to try and avoid replays that show the officiating in a poor light
Gotta manufacture a better playoff resume for The Great White Hope so they can say he’s better than MJ and LeBron. Unfortunately the Wolves may be screwed
Not really most of you just bitch and cry rather then actually look at the play
Watching all the touch calls and then him attacking the rim with 0 help from the refs is mind numbing
Its to balance out the mauling he got two years ago from the wolves and their so called “defense”
This
Broke his hand punching a wall after a loss lmao he’s always been a hotheaded dumbass
The worst part was it wasn’t after a loss…it was with the Wolves down only 8 at halftime lmfao
Just like Jamal “Hotpack” Murray
They both fucking stupid for both of those— jamal was during play which was dangerous & fucking stupid but mcdaniels’ was so unnecessary and hurt his team a looot more
Shh… he plays for the nuggets and the other poster likes them. Let’s just shit on mcdaniels cuz wolves.
Edit: Thanks for proving my point nugs fans
Lol fucking casual
You’re so hardcore about basketball. You have all the knowledge. Please teach me.
Watch some games
Why would I do that when you are right here and are so knowledgeable? I mean, you perfectly explained how i was a casual and everything.
Wrong sub. Try this one r/nbacirclejerk
Casualty
We don’t have to worry about Murray throwing anything on the floor this game since they gifted him 15+ free throws.
Finally calling fouls as fouls as the NBA calls them for star guards. Jokic also had 1 FT the whole game.
The big / guard discrepancy remains insane, but it was refreshing to see your constant hacking called for what it is. It will probably flip back as soon as the series is in MN
More worried about Ant throwing chairs at people tbh
Thats why he didnt play in the first series yall beat us. No Naz either.
What be going on in bros head
In this particular case Jokic smacks McDaniels in the face and ref ignores it. Leading to the push.
Yes McDaniels is an idiot but Jokic fouled him twice in that sequence.
Jokic got smacked in the face no call too. Murray was the only one getting a decent whistle for either team. Most others were hit or miss. Jokic only had 1 FT lol
Introverted hot head
He’s a mental midget
What an idiot
Yeah god damn the title didn’t do this justice
Wtf was he thinking?
He wasn’t thinking lol he mad
He’s always been an idiot that can’t control his emotions. Punched a wall and broke his hand years ago
To be fair he thought it was just a curtain, not a curtain with a wall behind it.
Not a fun surprise . At least he has an excuse. Amare didnt
Who tf punches a curtain? Wouldn’t be cathartic when you’re mad. Dude was trying to hit a wall for sure.
this is just bad faith arguing bro
How many people have punched a wall when they’re mad? A lot.
How many people have punched a curtain when they’re mad? Nobody that I’ve ever heard of.
What do people think are behind curtains?
Often times there is nothing behind a curtain…especially if they’re being (presumably) used as a divider.
Sometimes there’s nothing, other times there’s like glass or a wall. How would you know if you don’t punch it?
I’m not defending him punching it lol I’m just saying - it’s pretty easy to assume there isn’t a wall behind it, because what purpose is a curtain if all it’s doing is covering a wall?
my curtains cover windows and partially walls… even in conferences there’s often something behind a curtain because they’re letting the divider open and the curtains are retracted. it’s DAF to punch it and find out
https://i.makeagif.com/media/2-11-2014/WUMATS.gif
literally though. he’s been like this for YEARS. minny should’ve gotten him anger management a long ass time ago. he has a screw loose
Same thing he was thinking when he punched that wall and broke his own hand
Feel he does this a lot
remember when he punched a wall & put himself out of the whole playoffs?
He thought it was just a curtain but still
He got hit in the face by jokic. Dumb move to shove him, but that’s why he was frustrated.
Stops the run. Gives his team tine to adjust. Maybe that was the plan
The man punched a wall clearly there’s not much going on up there
High IQ play by mcdaniels
Mcdaniels is stupid, nothing new, but it looks like Nikola hit him in the face while trying to block, maybe that’s why he pushed him like that after. But I would like a better angle to be sure
Absolutely what happened, but every angle they showed started right after that, making it look completely unprovoked. Still stupid but annoying to not show anything else
Hard to tell from the angle but I thought Mcdaniels got slapped from behind earlier in the play too
Even if that did happen, that’s unprovoked. You think Jokic is intentionally trying to smack him in the face? Everybody’s going for the ball, and sometimes you get hit in the face by accident. If that happened, he should have gotten a foul called. That’s it. He should be pissed at the refs, not Jokic. This was unnecessary unprovoked escalation.
It was blatant how they intentionally didn’t rewind to before the push. It doesn’t excuse it but it puts it in better context. Pushing someone after getting slapped in the face isn’t the same as doing it unprovoked.
It’s because they’ve decided the nuggets are winning and they want them to win. It is what it is unfortunately, nothing wolves fans can do.
That’s what I thought happened watching it live.
My first thought seeing this was how Jokic was just swinging at him to block the shit and then hella sold the push.
Dumb fucking play by that dude.
I don’t think Jokic sold the push. He does flop and/or exaggerate a lot, but on this I don’t think he had any idea he was gonna get pushed, and because it was a dead ball he wasn’t ready.
Yeah that’s fair. The top angle just made it look not that hard of a push but still an obvious and stupid push.
Could have been bad.
Most people here saying that mcdaniels is a moron without trying to understand why he was frustrated.
He’s a hothead but that was bad by Jokic.
All he’s doing is help Jokic inbound the ball faster. Nice guy McDaniels
idiot, the game is not over, it’s still 12 points and he was just scoring, what’s the matter?
Bro’s a bozo
Wolves are liable to mentally check out and give up big runs whenever they don’t like the whistle it’s exactly what happened in the conference finals against OKC last year
I think to an extent this is an issue can be pinned on Finch he’s always extremely quick to point to the calls and as the head coach that kind of sets the culture for the team as a whole
Most teams do
They’re also just gassed. Most of their fouls this half are just them giving up on plays then they’ll go down on offense and jack up a terrible shot.
And they just gave up on a fastbreak
Yeah idk whats up with them (maybe denver altitude?) but they look visibily tired
Mentally immature team but I’m not sure how much can be pinned on Finch
Cause he’s their leader and when shit doesn’t get blown his way the slightest, he becomes irate
A lot
Hey you cant say bozo thats a technical foul
Jaden gets so frustrated when bad calls build up against him that he cant control himself. Disappointing to see it
The whole team is weak when they dont get all the calls
Unlike DEN, who throws shit on the court when they’re losing.
Has that happened more than once?
Yeah, he threw shit on the floor twice in the same game actually
Oh damn. I’d only ever seen the one. Pretty wild
Similar to when edwards threw a chair and hit a security guard.
Both are stupid.
Ant just threw a chair while you commented that
Also didn’t the Frenchy punch his OWN teammate once??
Go cry about it
They never had someone break their hand punching a wall, hit a security guard while throwing a chair (inadvertently), or had a teammate punch another teammate
Ragebaited the rage baiter. Clown move
I know Jaden enough that was because of the contact on the miss prior to the putback. That contact was called all game against us. Pure frustration foul. He’s always been a silent hothead.
This probably would’ve been a flagrant 1 if they hadn’t already given him a very cheap one earlier
For real that was far more deserving of a flagrant than that close out earlier
It was a dead ball so it can only be a T
They reviewed it for a hostile act which would have had the same effect as a flagrant
That’s different than a flagrant review, I think? Idk man they review shift for like 10 different reasons a game
I think if it’s live ball it would be a flagrant, but it has to be a technical because it’s a temporarily dead ball after the basket goes in. But I might be remembering the rule incorrectly.
Ah true
Nuggets Wolves games have been cinema the past few years
Dumb move, but Jokic flops lol.
I loved the camera just watching him pouting on the bench. Dude is in his feelings. Might punch a wall later
Good thing Murray got his FTs otherwise he might throw a heat pack and a towel on the floor again
dumb move but the bitching in the comments is popcorn worthy.
Nuggets can’t stand the Wolves
Think the feeling’s mutual?
I really dont get this at all, maybe after a miss I could see frustration
On the previous Nuggets possession, Murray was given a super soft foul and a generous continuation for a three-point play; at that point in the game he’d taken more free throws himself than the Wolves as a team. Then when McDaniels got the rebound, it looked to me like Jokic hit him during the contest.
Yeah, looks like Jokic got him across the face and could have easily been called for a foul
Why are we surprised this is the same idiot who punched a wall and broke his hand cause he couldn’t control his emotions lmao
what is his fucking problem
Oh we gonna eat this series up! Meat’s back on the menu, boys!
He’s mad.
Well at least he didn’t turn his back like one of that Morris bros
Stupid move but Jokic really sold that lol. McDaniel’s arms were basically extended before the push. No way he can toss Jokic that far lol
Swear this guy’s a time bomb. Acts all chill but is always unhinged.
Not classy!
Really stupid.
Idiocy runs in the family.
As a wolves fan…ugh this sucks. Totally uncalled for
Bitch move
I can’t wait to read through all these comments later
If your gonna do a frustration foul, atleast feed the beans to Murray
Ends a run and immediately gets a technical. Zero composure.
I’ve been pushed by him like that
Can you show us on a doll where the bad man touched you?
Jokic definitely hits him in the face on the earlier play but still a dumb move by Mcdaniels. It’s not like it was even intentional, Jokic just going for the ball. Now he’s put his team in an even worse position
McDaniels a bitch
He’s lucky he didn’t get ejected. The possession was over and I thought they were going to give him flagrant 2
Ejected!?
If Joker flopped a bit more he would have been
We’ve seen way worse ejections so it wouldn’t have surprised me to be honest
It was really close. Met all the qualifications of an ejection but it wasnt a strong enough push to get a playoff ejection
can’t blame him nuggets getting every whistle
Except you can, they got gordon in foul trouble and they couldn’t capitalize because they suck
lol Jaden pouting on the bench 😂
Finally breaks nuggets momentum and then pulls this shit lmfao
Take it out on a wall next time bozo
That’s just a dumb move.
I simply don’t get what he is frustrated about.
He thought he got fouled under the rim prior?
Come on.
Just don’t punch a wall.
They just gave up a 14-0 run, he was frustrated with that. Then he hit a shot and i think he was trying to get tough but was still grumpy and he got a little carried away. He looks like he knew he messed up pretty quickly.
Yh this series is going to 7
Bro got scared
Imagine if the roles where reversed lol
Bro even made the basket lmao the fucks his issue?
At least this time he gets a technical. I remember this season when he yanked Steph and Steph got called for the foul.
Jokic with his regular triple double. He’s the MVP.
jokic didn’t give a fuck lmao
Great game today, the refs were so fun to watch
he looks like he has anger issues
He’s great but god i hate his fucking attitude, always loses his head at something
McDouchebag
Homie sold it hard at the end
He shouldn’t have pushed him. Jokic shouldn’t have whacked him in the face.
Bitch move and honestly surprised it wasn’t a flagrant 1 since it was after the play
If it’s unconsidered a common foul but during a dead ball situation I believe it’s automatically a technical foul.
It’s so funny watching Nuggets flairs swarm on some post and hide on others
Refs helping denver
This should’ve resulted in an ejection.
Lol what
Mentally weak team and it all starts from their sorry excuse of a coach
Which?
Shoved SGA last year too, he just pushes the opposing stars when he gets upset.
Jokic literally smacks him in the face during the play.
The refs didn’t call a foul so he pushed him in the back after the play was over? Thats not how you play, sorry.
Not on Jokic to call his own fouls and stop playing because he fouled someone
Just saying he has the right to be upset.
At the refs, yes.
Or at the player who smacked him in the face lol
Mcdaniels stood there and then only acted tough when he was getting held back. Bitch move 101
Should be a McDaniels tech for the push and a Jokic tech for the flop
That’s a technical foul but come on. 300 pound Jokic flying 20 feet off that shove is hilarious
Anybody would lose their balance getting shoved from the back without expecting it
McDaniels isn’t some small dude himself and Jokic isn’t expecting to get shoved in the back off a made basket. It’s pretty easy to get sent flying if you’re not positioned for a shove from behind lol
He already walking in that direction and if you’re not expecting something the impact causes a lot more movement
Yeah, he definitely sold that.
Jokic is such a flopper
Jokics balance has been so bad the last 2-3 years
Literally anyone would lose their balance from an unexpected shove from behind when they weren’t braced from it come on lmao
No I think he’s flailing around
How well do you keep your balance when shoved from behind?
Better than Jokic it looks like, hence the concern
I doubt that very much.
Youre getting sent 12ft? Give yourself some credit
Armchair athletes typically do.
Statistically speaking, I’m likely clearing you
Im sure you clear everyone from your phone. Dont really gaf what you’re trying to prove here.
No, in real life I’m clearing you. Jokic studied Embiid and is a flop now man it is what it is
You’re literally not clearing shit, tough guy. It isn’t that fucking serious. 😂
Jokic and the Nuggets are such soft pussies
Must be embarrassing to be owned by such soft pussies for the last 5 years
Who?
What would’ve made Jokic not soft? Walking over there and beating McDaniels ass? Tf is this comment, McDaniels two hand shoved him after the play was over and Jokic wasn’t looking and this makes him soft lmfao
Are we actually gonna pretend Jokic didn’t flop here? Cmon. Obviously the right call was made, but be honest about it
Only soft guy in this play is McDaniels, two hand shoving someone in the back
Jokic selling an unsportsmanlike foul is not soft.
Laker fans take shit way too personally. You sound like you are projecting, honestly. 😂
Lol
