“When it mattered” is a really funny line to add to a title of a playoff game thread.

Is OP trying to set us up with that title? lmao

Like this should be his standard lol, one good game out of 4 is not worth victory lapping about lol

Obviously. Isn’t it kind of nice to see a legend bounce back after by far his worst playoff performances of his career though? Or should we just harp on that forever

Right? Lmao

Cmon

Are you stupid the game only matters if the nuggets win /s

The good news for Denver is that his process was legitimately way better not just his results

He accepted that the 1v1 vs. Rudy isn’t happening for him this series and focused way more on playmaking than on looking for his own shot mainly scoring in the flow of the offense

No more failed post up attempts resulting in contested 18 footers

Devin Booker fans punching the air rn

And just stood there and didn’t even raise his arms on the jump ball. Absolute trolljob there.

Inspired by castle

Which play?

Feel bad for Wolves fans with the injuries but it will be pretty hilarious if Jokic gets the ultimate get out of jail free card after everyone was posting like his season is over and goes on to make a deep run

I actually do think Denver will surprise some people with how much better they play if they can escape this round they play uniquely terrible against the Timberwolves in big games

And one was on that silly ass inbounds pass late game lol

Minnesotas about to show up to game 7 with the Lynx roster at this rate

Bro stop it. I’m as much of a fan as you, Jokic has been trash this series. His whole process has been trash, it’s not just a rough series shooting or something, he’s had those before. Last year Clipper, wolves in the championship run, OKC pre game 7. This is a Sabonis cosplay out of him, no resistance at the rim, which is excusable when you’re running a transcendent offense sure, but this team sputtered at 95 last couple games, they had a lead in both games. We don’t get to talk when we beat a gutted team at home, hell, even if we win this series we don’t get to talk. 4-3 is an expected win now, Minny has to run a 6.5 man rotation without a star on the floor. Jokic has been getting wallopped by roleplayers. He has to put out this level of performance until the WCF atleast, else as Nuggets fans all our chains will be snatched. No contender status, no BITW. As for the team, if he fails any more than he already has, we’re looking at a mass exodus of players, but he’ll be the one sitting pretty with his 55 million a year contract. There’s a lot riding on this run, and with that on him he hasn’t been a winning player in the now.

Victory lapping down 3-2 when the Wolves are coming off the shock of losing ANT and DDV tearing his achilles is an interesting position

Those people are up 3-2 last time I checked. So technically they’re ahead of your guy

They’re still gonna be in here until he beats in next game and then we won’t hear from them

Against the hospital wolves?

Is not just a bad game stop the gas lighting. This is his first solid game against the wolves this series and it came against an injured team

Twerking for Jokic after knowing that Shai bitched Luka for best pg in the league nice cope kid

The turning point is called Ant, Donte and Naz.

He explicitly said, he didn’t do it to fire them up in the post presser, why is this sentiment still around?

Him forcing the jump ball for no reason and then not contesting it was pretty funny

I was hoping so, would’ve been a baller move

Had to scroll for so long to even find it lol. r/nba nephews are clearly not ready to give up the one chance they’ve gotten to circlejerk over Jokic slander.

Losing to Minnesota without A1 counts

Fraud?? Dude, he won you a title and has won THREE MVPs.

One of the nice things about getting older is that you actually remember watching the great players’ careers in real-time, and not the hyperbolic and whitewashed storybook documentary versions they inevitably become. And let me tell you, every great player has had at least one stinker series. E-V-E-R-Y. I remember them. I can name them.

Be grateful. The ups and downs and unpredictability is what makes sports great in an increasingly artificial world.

yep he needs to have a good showing for the next 3 games and be solid for atleast a couple of games against the spurs 

His first good game came against a depleted injury ladden wolves team and were supposed to bring out a parade for him?

do you watch basketball

You’re just making up scenarios to attack. It’s weird. 

what disegniously mean

fully healthy huh?

exposing yourself

AG and Watson (who are both built to play the Wolves) are out. But go off. Didnt OKC get bailed out last playoffs with AG being injured in game 7? Asking for a friend.

Haliburton ruptured his achilles in the finals also. Disgusting that OKC fans would celebrate that title I guess.

Both teams are missing 2 key guys

Get a grip, Nuggets aren’t fully healthy either

Ants obviously a massive loss but we got no Gordon or PWat which is a big loss as well.

No AG and no Peyton Watson, but that doesnt fit the narrative

Going to guess the Nuggets man

Spoiler they ain’t gonna be here for the rest of the series either. Still not gonna care when nuggets win in 7?

[deleted]

Explain why? He was 27 12 16, on 70% efficiency? Its like career best stat for 99% of centers…

What do you Warrior fans gain from hating on Jokic?

Look at all the comments already from people who didn’t watch the game lol

Told you this is why they do it…

Lol, no. They cleared the bench when he had 25

What lol he scored once after the Wolves put in the scrubs. He had 25 with your starters still in there

https://i.imgur.com/yFsjQCq.png

The 16 assists came before then

you mean he padded 2 points lmao no

…he scored a single field goal after that
