Buddy, you guys inbounded with 17 seconds left - Dribble out the clock if you want to go home.

Jaden is a troll but also, Denver took a shot right before this. 

Murray trying to score with 10 seconds left Jokic is bitch made but everyone with a brain knew that already.

Correct me if I am misremembering but didn’t Joker pass to Murray to shoot so he could get his triple double when game was out of reach?

Play until the final whistle. Ive never understood what the crying is about with this

Well apparently not everyone was done playing…

This is the dumbest unwritten rule in basketball. Players didn’t do this like 30 years ago. 

Nuggets stopped playing at the beginning of the 4th quarter. The timberwolves honestly shouldn’t have scored the entire quarter

I hope this exact scenario repeats next game and McDaniels throwns down a hard dunk and hangs on the the rim

They were fouling down 12. Who gets to dictate when everybody stops playing?

Only Jokic is allowed to stat pad at the end of games silly

Nuggets were intentionally fouling down double digits with 14 seconds left you don’t get to do that and then also say the game was over

I mean the was 17 seconds left in the game. I don’t blame Jaden for scoring at all lol. jokic is being a bit soft

It was McDaniels’ pièce de résistance, get in Jokic’s head some more and stay there for the next game.

Spoken like a man who will face zero repercussions

Should’ve dribbled the clock out when you had the chance

Weak. Nuggets could have dribbled out the ball before as well…

Lame excuse, sore loser 

Needs to get suspended for starting a fight and nothing else 

Jok, the time for putting on the jets like that was the previous 47 minutes…

Play until the end, nuff said

This is the same MF who always acted nonchalant when he was winning. He always acted like basketball isn’t his main priority. But now he cares about some dumb “unwritten rule”?? lmao COPIUM

Bro getting clamped tf up and he needed a reason to crash out. That’s it

I hate this unwritten rule shit. Game isn’t over till it’s over. You’re being paid MILLIONS. Fucking play.

The way a person handles adverse situations where things aren’t going as expected and they know they’re probably not going to win says a lot about their character.

Nuggets were pickong up full court and trapping still. Fouling still. And quick shots up still. But everyone quite i guess.

Jaden shouldve dunked it

Jaden should come out tomorrow and say something like “they haven’t played any defense all series so I couldn’t really tell the difference at the end of the game so I took the layup. I hadn’t seen Jokic run that fast all night until he got his feelings hurt.”

Any other player would be suspended for what Jokic did btw.

It was 1 second left. What a bitch

I love you jokic, but you guys were intentionally fouling… that says the game isn’t over. First Murray and now jokic with this, those wolves players be getting in their head obviously lol

You didn’t go after him because he broke some unwritten rule you went after him cause you were frustrated from the guy rage baiting you all series. 😭😭

I’d have more respect if he WAS trying to fire his team up lol

Jokic with some ultimate rules for thee but not for me shit.

If a non-Jokic player does the same thing, people would be jumping over each other to call it dumb and stupid - Hey, show the same energy during the first 47 mins of the game blah blah… But with Jokic, it’s understandable because we need to scapegoat his teammates, front office, fans and coach.

Any chance there is a suspension from this?

S-A-W-F-T

Do nba players not know how weak this sounds? Play defense if you don’t want the other team to score. The game ain’t over until the clock says 0:00

So are well supposed to ignore that pass Jokic made with 10 sec left so that he gets his trip double didn’t happen? Murray took that shot for that lame reason, and Jokic gets annoyed that Wolves should show the sportsmanship that he didn’t show?

I won’t say Jaden did the most sportsmanlike thing despite being a fan.

But, why didn’t they send out their bench when it was obvious they’d lost a minute earlier? Why foul when you’re down 12 with 30 seconds left in the game??

Not saying “oh they asked for it” but like clearly there was some beefing going on there.

Jokic, don’t act like you’d have stopped him if you were trying.

In the 90s he’d be a bench warming stiff

He should be suspended next game

As a Wolves fan, I honestly didn’t have a huge problem with what Jokic did.

They were gonna lose and at bare minimum it’s obvious they aren’t winning a title this year. He was pissed off.

But like, maybe don’t complain about it after.

Shoulda went after his own coach Sprewell style lol. Adelman is so lost.

This unwritten rule shit is so dumb. Literally who gives a fuck?

It’s funny. The wolves lose two players and the nuggets players and coaches are bitching about a layup with 1 second left.

He’s spoiled af and a horrible loser. If the roles were reversed they’d be talking about fines.

Jokic thinks the other team shouldn’t score when he isn’t trying on defense because then they would never score, even in the 1st quarter.

The unwritten rule is only an unwritten rule if both teams respect each other. The Timberwolves or at least just McDaniels seem to hate the Nuggets since he did basically call everyone on the Nuggets a cone.

Nuggets lost and needed a reason to start shit. Move along guys.

Sure there is an unwritten rule, but there is a written rule about his response.

I’ve never been more disappointed in this man, genuinely.

But you know what. This organization has done its very best to burn this guy out and being “coached” by Adelman might be the last straw at this point for him.

Still, show some damn fight in the actual game, man. You’re a 3x MVP for fuck sake

Double standards

I feel like Jaden is part of what’s missing from the NBA. Winning a 7 game series is so much of a mental game so if you can bait people into doing things that get them ejected, suspended, or in foul trouble early it’s actually incredibly beneficial to your team winning the finals.

Why was he in a blowout game? 

Sore loser. We’ve seen it before. He was already making a damn fool out of himself in the 4th quarter with his dipshit 3 Stooges act, begging for whistles.

Baby rage

Jesus, maybe focus on playing some defense. Massive Jokic fan, hate bullshit statements like this. 

Woooooooo “unspoken rules” my ass lmao. Who gives a shit.

Is this the jokic hate thread now lol

Softest ‘gentleman’ rule out there, and enforcing it is some serious clown work.

What does this say about Jokic’s character? I thought he was classy. I thought he played the game the right way.

Now this is is soft. Protecting some unspoken rule when you’re a game away from getting knocked out. Please. Focus on winning. Not this.

We have eyes, buddy.

Bitch move by Joker. That’s it.

IT SMELL LIKE BITCH IN HERE

Man trying to pull a Giannis PR. Just own it its more respectable

This was always so dumb. Garbage time is garbage. Great time to do stunts for bored fans and work on your shots. 

But players get mad as if they didn’t just spend the previous hour putting up garbage numbers. 

Keep taking those L’s there, buddy. True basketball player right here laying down the law lol

Everybody stopped playing? Jamal shot the damn ball

Jesus Christ, Timberwolves done broke this Serbian God

Get this fucking Serbian THUG out of my league!!! Can’t believe the NBA allows this smfh

I doubt he cares about unwritten rule he was looking for chance to fight Jaden.

It’s a pathetic move by McDaniels. One that Draymond Green or Dillon Brooks would get trashed on this site.

But let him enjoy his NBA Playoff moment. Minnesota can manage to win one more game to end this series. But they are a dead man walking beyond that.

since when do guys have this agenda against jokic? this is the first time I’ve ever seen people defend this. I respect jaden for backing up what he said about nuggets not playing defense but this is just a bullshit move

edit: for all of you who say they inbouded with no time left and took the shot, pistons did the exact same thing earlier, ausar and duncan robinson pressed franz full court with 5-6 seconds left and he just took it to half court and stopped playing

Jaden McDaniels is a B****!
