How Jokic and the Nuggets Can Bounce Back | Nuggets vs. Wolves | NBA Playoffs 

They haven’t trailed a playoff series in a minute

First nuggets fan I seen not making a handful of excuses for the home loss. Murray not at 100% but a championship caliber team should have solid role players that make up the production.

Brother Murray is injured

Jokic is not as good as last year, Murrey is injured, not optimistic..

I wonder if Jamal has it in him to play the series that long against the wolves

Jokic is good but not excellent like last year Murray is injured = no second championship

Bro I love the loyalty to the nuggets but they just got fucked by the T-wolves in game 2. Jokic tryin' to get to Serbia early this year.

@@Ismail-kv3ex Apparently not. Dammmn

@@goxyeagle8446 Joker is tired. Malone played him high minutes last month because he wanted to get that 1st seed. Its obvious that he cant play as aggresive as last year. Plus KCP, Reggie and Jamal are injured.

Yep, the difference between this year and last year is Murray is playing injured. Sure, lots of people are hurt in the playoffs and play through it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has another offseason surgery. He's just not right.

​@@zhegwoodand also bb and jg very big part of last year run

Also gordon and porter need to actually score lol

And the wolves are complete And the nuggets bench is worse And the wolves have continuity and an improved defensive scheme Please don't make it all on Murray's calf... Smh

@@emmanuelcoquet6257 don’t make it about a teams 1B sometimes 1A player not being 100% ??? lol two things can be true

Tell that to the suns

​@@fatherluis5225like how you have Booker, Beal, KD all on the same team and get swept. Ain't no way that should've happened

Lmao what do you mean? Everyone knows how important mid-range scoring is in the playoffs.

​@@brianduru3753Everyone? Also, most commentary and analysis focus on the three and the post.

The Suns had three mid range shooters and got swept

Jokic had a bad game and made bad decisions

oh ok

Still trust them completely?

U can still delete this 😂😂😂

I thought Joker was a GOAT. It's easy to bet the GOAT with only one other great big in the league. When Murray isn't great, Denver never advances.

No duh, he’s playing injured

16pts ... joker is so much better than shaq.. shaq wouldnt even score on this invincible timberwolves team WITHOUT rudy gobert.. smh

@@mentalprograming5365 LMFAO

Jokic has already checked out this season. One of those horses in Serbia must be about to deliver or something.

Best of 7 for a reason

Here's a slice of humble-pie for you as well brother 🍰

Mature in terms of his play, maybe not his actions lol

Haha they are talking about his play

Rudy looks to be out tonight as his gal is delivery first child. Next man up. We only lost by 3 to DEN in match without Rudy, KAT and Naz all out.

@@m40dot he is questionable, my understanding is she delivered and she and the baby are healthy. No wrong answer on if he plays or not. His girl is awesome and recently defended him against online trolls.

Jokic said last night he hopes they can put up a fight back in Denver. Jokic is already back in Serbia.

sometimes insight is just insight and reality trumps it.. 2-0 in the so called ALTITUDE without Rudy Gobert their best defender who is playing at DPOY level this year.. lol joker 16pts.. most other comment sections statistically speaking are looking far more knowledgable than the so called insight you speak of.. bet yall didnt have the insight to picture this happening at any point in time to the invincible unbeatable denver nuggets that can beat every team in nba history and went on the most historic nba run of all time last year beating all the play-in teams

i mean.. its looking like they were right, not over til its over but if you watched game 2 its hard to see Denver winning this.

@@ridgethomas1998 Agreed. Although equally as hard to see them playing THAT bad ever again. Wolves D seems to match up well putting length on Murray. But shooting 34% as a team isn't going to happen a lot either, regardless of how good a D is.

@@travisrice1199See that’s where I think you are wrong. We have seen the Nuggets do this. In every other playoff run except last year. The Nuggets have fallen back to what they are.

The wolves roles player can plays so much better !

Literally every player has a higher ceiling other than Ant, Naz and Connley.

Watch this.

yeah ok buddy, yall think the nuggets are better than they actually are

Not happening. This series is over.

If he drops*

It’s gonna be a series man, it’s not easy to beat Denver

Why do you think they don't have defense? How did they win their 1st championship? TWolves offense is not something that's that amazing and can't be dealt with.

They think because Denver's offense is good that their defense must be bad 😂

@@fringe_minority their first championship run faced a bunch of injured teams all the way to the finals. Anyways... 0-2 at home, sweep incoming.

Isiah is small and Ant is huge physically. There is no similarity in their games

@@Gnofg I was talking about attitude and clutchness, they are very similar

Haha lakers fan or wolves fan

@@bratantm9385 We need this 😢We’ve been through so much as Minnesoto sports fans 😂. The past 2 decades has been brutal for us.

@@bratantm9385or just a Minneapolis fan.

@@kaiba8954 i am rooting for you man i love Ant and always believe that defence wins championships even if you don't get it this year next year is yours!As a lakers fan i knew we wouldn't beat the Nuggets but they are still much sloppier than last year and with the right momentum you can take them down 👌

@@kaiba8954you’ve got a pretty great chance honestly. Aaron Gordon is a non-factor offensively, Jamal has been shooting poorly all playoffs, and Denver’s bench is poor. If Jamal and Gordon bounce back then I think Denver takes it, but the Wolves defense has been quite good

That is what the Wolves are doing to Denver. jokic 9 assists and 8 rebounds

@@Gnofg those are great stats, nearly triple double, but for Joker standards its bad I know

@@angryserb5332 jokic goat lol

@@angryserb5332 Jokic goat lol

Who covers Ant? Kcp lol

Thing is who keeping ant from doing that? He averaging 33 8 and 6. You take away his bad shooting night in game 2 against Phoenix and he averaging 38. Its not like his performance was uncharacteristic. He is truly like that. I also don't know how good Murray gonna be as he's not 100% and they got a lot to throw at him specifically in NAW, Ant, mcdaniels, and even Conley who's at least competent. That's a lot for Murray to handle. What Denver needs is everyone else to step up. Hoping Anthony edwards doesn't go off is not a viable strategy. The bench got to do something and they need more from KCP and AG.

blind faith

lmao Murray will be hesitant all series cus he’s in a masterclass of prison lmao

He is 22 stupid. How many titles did Jokic have at 22?

Thought the same and we were wrong

Didn't seem like it

…

Timberwolves just seems crazy
