Dude talked his shit then went against Jamal again and again

i thought he was NUTS saying that, bro had the biggest balls out there tonight hoooooooly 🏀🏀

If a team’s second-rotation players keep looking like SGA down the stretch against you, then you may really have problems defensively.

Better than signing Jokic’s brothers

Probably would be better at rim protection

FO: can’t sign a horse, best we can do is a doc

He sits on his horse instead of the bench during breaks

Nikola the horse is here

Ain’t no rule that says a horse can’t play basketball!

Whenever they play Gobert they just sub in Ben Hur to mow him down.

Screw it, if Air Bud the dog can lead a team to state champs I bet horse can play also

They traded MPJ for more flexibility then spent the freed up money on Jonas Valanciunas

People don’t realize how good KCP was and how shit Braun is

It’s funny how fast narratives change

Cam Johnson was overrated, Bruce Bowen is cooked, THJ should not be in a playoff rotation, and JV should be in euroleague

Aaron Gordon and Peyton watson are very significant players, especially so defensively

Unfortunately with the worst coach the Nuggets have put around Jokic

They’re missing their third and fourth best players who happen to be big wings…and they’re the guys that hold the defense together. Like playing Spencer Jones for 35 mins obviously wasn’t their plan with the roster lol.

We finally have shooters for jokic

I’d still say it was. But absolutely brutal injury luck resulted in basically no chemistry with the team overall.

And oh yeah, you actually need to put some effort in to win in the playoffs, something that this team has lacked every year since the chip.

It is.

Which should tell you how bad it was before and highlight the carry job Jokic has to deal with.

This team very well may have won it all if they didn’t face the Wolves. Wolves just have their number.

What he say fuck me for?

Only difference is Giannis was the one injured in 2023. This is more like us losing that year but instead it was Jimmy who got hurt.

I think I am gunna watch a 2023 playoff Jimmy highlight package to finish off my evening

Would be hilarious. I know Bucks and Nuggets fans hate each other but Jokic and Giannis team up would be so fun. it would be Jokic and AG on crack. I think Giannis would genuinely average 40 points a game

Tbh I don’t think Ive seen Jokic meddle with front office decisions that much, at least not as much as Giannis, yet.

If you’re relying on ONE player to do all the defending for you i got some bad news for you. Gordon is no alien

Wolves were down thier first and second string backcourt. Not reasonable at all to bring up any injuries for the reason the Nuggets lost.

Yeah at this point in his career I don’t think you can count on him to make it through a full playoff run uninjured, which is a problem

they need to invest in someone who can fill his roll on defense at least like a nic claxton type who can provide some rim protection switch ability lob threat etc 

“Best player in the world” on the roster but key is Aaron Gordon 🥀🥀🥀 yeah Nuggets are cooked

And the other two times we faced them we weren’t healthy. It’s really not the same.

The Nuggets gentlemen swept the wolves in their championship run…

All 4 finalists that year had a shortened season and were all fucked that year. Bucks have a mickey mouse ring. Into hurting kyrie and facing one of the worst teams to come out of the west

Maybe, but I bet the Knicks and Celtics fans felt the same

wolves were missing ANT, divicenzo, and this game they missed ayo the guy who won them the game to go up 3-1

It’s not luck when the nuggets chose to play the timber wolves

There’s always an excuse for Jokic high 

HE GONE

The blueprint has been set in how to beat the Nuggets. Play physical and force the refs to call fouls, which they won’t. Nuggets can’t handle the physicality and they can’t match it themselves.

Cause he wants 🍑

Maybe joker should be thinking about moving on. They are exhausted of assets and have a few bad contracts weighing them down. Probably going to lose Watson in the off season too

Meanwhile they got rid of MPJ who was reliable and a ceiling raiser 

Praying that we get moved to the east sooner than later.

You got your first ever championship during that”closed” window. 

I imagine if you’re a wolves fan you’d like to break through and win it all though. A bunch of conference finals is cool but if that’s all you get by the time ant either leaves or retires, that would be disappointing. Feels like they’ve just been missing something each year because they kinda just get dog walked once they make it there

lol Cam

So did the bucks. The bucks were the second seed the next year. I really think these timeliness are very similar

Not with Aaron Gordon’s injury history

I think Jokic himself has 2-3 years left of elite play but this Nuggets core is done. Gordon is too injury prone, Murray isn’t good enough to shoulder so much scoring load consistently and his contract sucks, Cam Johnson was disappointing, and Braun is dead weight. Nuggets need to significantly overhaul their roster in the offseason if they want to reload, but they have a lot of bad contracts.

think their window closed when coach malone left

I think the Bucks had 1-2 years left when we beat ‘em in 2023 too, but it’s clear that they’ve never recovered from that.

I can see the Nuggets potentially do something drastic to try and give themselves one last chance to win.

Nothing they do will make them better than OKC and Spurs though

murray should’ve been traded in 2024. his stock has tanked massively, considering he can only perform against the lakers. fucking one-team merchant should be arrested for fraud

How can you be dog shit and make it to the finals?

2023 was shit but 2020 was pretty fun. 6 games series and some legendary Jimmy performances. They could’ve pushed that to 7 if Dragic didn’t go down in game 1 too

Cool and what does waffles gotta do with pancakes?

Do you agree that the Miami Heat is the worst team in the history of the NBA Finals?

Always a flair-less popping off and shitting on other teams lol
