Inside the NBA Reacts to Nuggets vs Warriors Game 5 Highlights | 2022 NBA Playoffs 

If sixers get reverse swept, aint no way embiid gettin that mvp.

@@jceradnac1894 It's a regular season award, and Jokic will be the winner.

Just imagine if they had Jamal and MPJ

Hundred percent.

@@jceradnac1894 Embiid playin like trash in playoffs he average 24.5 i am not even sure he shoot 50%. Jokic prove he is better player and scorer if u wish.

yeah curry is a beast after every injury 😂 jokic carrying the nuggets but not enough, he dont have enough help to win this series

he really needs jamal murray to come back asap

The best player this series was on the losing side because his teammates are garbage.

@@smilingcat3851 well i do think jamal and porter jr is coming back nxt season

Jokic is a bus driver.

They would have won if they kept Cousins in. It's a joke. They go up by 11 and take him out, and lose...huh-wonder why

@@shawabdunleavy8336 You ride with your best player, thats Jokic. And its not like Jokic was bad or anything, he did his job in the 4th quarter, its the other guys on the Nuggets that choke.

@@tigera6 the concern is that Jokic is a light touch Paul Gasol guy. He's a finesse player. Can score but slow a*f* It's not about best player-who playing best *agree to disagree

@@shawabdunleavy8336 Jokic fans wouldn't believe that Cousins has a better plus minus rate on this series compared to him.. Can only wonder why ESPN never showed that stuff to us 👀

@@judyclarkson5887 He was the best big in bball for 7 years and got injured. Playing on the kings was awful. NBA rules on paying a player after injury are the worst in all sports. Even in the nfl you still get paid after an injury. Id care what people say, he's a starting center on any team on the mid level, easy. Give him $20 a yr he'll play 35 minutes and transform a team. DC didn't even break a sweat,want to leave the game

Denver has something to hang their head about…that MPJ contract so far…

Warriors blew out Denver in first two games in SF, but all three of the next games could have gone either way. But the Nuggets just don't have any reliable 3-point shooters.

Idk about well coached lol. Warriors twitter hates Kerr

@@whooshbait4161 never on twitter, why do they hate him

If the warriors lost the comments would be around 300 comments I wonder were they at 🤔

I think it’s easy to hate them. Lol

@@hihowareyou5706 Mainly for how he handles Stephs mins. Steph will be cooking then Kerr sits him. Then doesn't bring him back in until they're down like 7.

Against Jokic lol he has no supporting cast

@@chatolo1 yh shutup kid

@@chatolo1 and Gs doesn’t have any bigs so of course Jokic gone get 30 and 20 your point ?

@@chatolo1 Wiseman there big guy is hurt just like Murray stop it this same exact team won 48 games

😂

Ben ain't win a championship

Ben Simmons : I'm walking bruh

They’ve never driven

He's still latching on to that "bus rider with directions" Crap. Tiny punk ass Kenny

Simmons need to get in the damn car first

Love your videos man

mans gotta be banged up. he has things all over his body everytime he’s on the bench. after seeing him go 20+ for a whole month it’s been hard watching him these past 2 games 😭😭😭

@@taesang5664 lmaoooo

I was about to ask. Poole must have hit a wall or defenses started to focus on him.

@@____2080_____ scouting report got updated on him for sure! Putting more pressure on him.

@@taesang5664 Teams just realized that he should be defended hard like a superstar you can't leave him wide open, or he will drop 20 to 30 at your team. He got his respect from every teams now, and that's the reward for it. He need to develop offense now is his resiliency thru hard defense.

Also MPJ that can give you 4-6 3s a game

Well...It's Joker's fault, he shot Murray when Murray interviewed him....

@@Aevitech i get this reference 🤣

The problem is Murray wont be the same player Jokic should leave as soon as he can

Denver doesn't play a lick of defense either. Granted this GSW team is almost unguardable at times, but Den has communication problems on that end.

Fake MVP

😂😂😭 That's funny bruh

💀😂💀

Imagine if Jamal Murray was playing 😔

if it wasn't for his hammy he would've had 30/20/10. pretty fucking nuts

@@Ze_Moose it would be more competitive but I doubt they can win againts Warriors even if they healthy, this is the same Warriors team who been thru againt better teams than Nuggets in the past and deep experience, MPJ and Murray wouldn't be a problem againts Klay, Steph and Dray.

@@BullyMaguire387 Yeah you're probably right. Probably game 7. But with them being healthy, Joker improving, I see them finishing top 4 next year. 5th at the minimum. There's NO WAY that team loses in the first round next year. No way

Jokic is NOT a generational talent! Guys keep saying this but he’s really accomplished nothing to this point to indicate that he’s a generational talent! He might maybe possibly become (I doubt it) a generational talent but not yet…not even close!

@@ti84satact12 his passing makes him dat

Aw stop it with the generational talent he can't even defend in the paint

@@ti84satact12 2x mvp

lol generational? more like historic, look at that tap pass for moris 3p, how many players in history did those tap passes? In this last 10yrs answer is zero. Also Murray and MPJ are super stars only with paycheck

His 2nd and are 3rd options are out. The guys were harsh on Gordon, but he's a 4th option, not a top tier player.

Curry Vs Ja is something we need

@@biggertonouncertonthethird76 i have nothing against Minnesota but at this point they need to get the hell out of the way so we can get the awesome match up we deserve

@@trixx9652 yea that series could easily go 7

And defense. His closing out was really good

The play down to the competition and that's a bad habit to get into.

That's because they rely too much on their outside shooting. If the outside shots aren't going in, then their offense is dead until their shooters find their rhythm. That's exactly what happened in 2019 playoffs after KD went down. They swept Portland in the WCF because they were up against an inconsistent offensive team, but struggled against the Raptors in the finals because Toronto was a team that could consistently produce offensively for 48 minutes.

Even tho this is the warriors big 3 the rest of the team besides looney is a new piece.. its gone take at least another full season to see this teams full potential.

@@kafeinfaita6715 klay was got hurt also. They was on the verge to come back until then

@@kafeinfaita6715 that’s what I was thinking as well, they are not gonna win against a defensive team like the Celtics playing like that.

Hahaha yeah I came here to see if anyone else noticed that too 😂

"Guys we need to get better" " If we score more points, we can win"

Fax as if nobody knows he's been a pg of a champion team

6:50 - Kenny - "Experience is like if you were driving a car..." Ernie - "Or for our purposes... a bus." LOL! Ernie had to sneak Chuck's bus comment in there. 😂

Yeah, and as soon as he took Cousins out- Jokic picked up another foul stopping a Wiggins dunk cause someone went to sleep on defense. They should've just kept Boogie in until he missed at least.

Naw...their MVP lost this one..keep that same energy they give Embiid

@@nerdsoup3313 no

Facts.

@@nerdsoup3313 The combined 6-for-29 behind the arc lost this one (vs. the Warriors 13-for-31). And that's mainly on the guards.

“Comfortability?”

It was a good analogy though

Ernie with the lob “For our purposes, a bus.”

@@kaz7690 You're telling me that's a good analogy?🤨 listen to him, word for word, play it back 6:53 "You're driving a car and you know the direction where you're going, you're gonna get there faster, that's it. Like y'know, I'm goin' home, like, but if I'm givin' you directions as you're going, you're gonna "oh, should I get over zz, zah", it's the same exact thing!" 😵‍💫😵🤢

He got close to 2 games the series was 4-1

@@dontayedaniels5710 games 3, 4, and 5 were close games

He could have played better defense

@@emvpiid3329 no center can guard Curry or other smaller guards. GS don’t play with a big so Jokic didn’t have anyone to guard. Other than Giannis any big in the league would be getting dusted by the Warriors

@@MM-jc7uv that goes both ways, meaning jokic was also having an easy time in that paint

Mvp is a regular season award so a first round exit wouldn't change anything.

Well to be honest the strongest argument that people use to justify his MVP candidacy is how much he’s done with a “trash” team, so….

He's a defensive liability why doesn't he ever make any defensive teams. Other great centers have

@@anthonytaylor7928 Well the Warriors game plan was to attack Jokic since he needs to assert most of his energy on the offensive end. The playoffs are all about matchups, Warriors have 4-5 players capable of hitting 20+. Can you say the same with the Nuggets? Demarcus Cousins was the 2nd leading scorer tonight and it was a CAREER high of 19

@@anthonytaylor7928 Your argument is what lol?

Guess the nuggets shoulda let him play. Now they at home lmao

True as a cousins fan I was so pumped to see him finally play in the playoffs with New Orleans with that emotion and passion that he plays with.. Then he gets hurt killed my spirit.

Cousins preferred to pump his chest and get into verbal spats with the commentator while allowing a 50 year old Duncan to get past him on defense, just to summarize why he never went to the playoffs during his prime.

He was the canary in the coal mine of what would eventually happen to all bigs. Unlike Embiid or Joker of today, he wasn’t offensively efficient enough to make up for how bad he was at guarding the 3 or the pick and roll.

@@Ometecuhtli That was the young version of cousins that went against Duncan. Season he got hurt and the year before that was prime cousins, sadly kings messed that up firing Mike Malone when team had a winning record and looked like they were turning corner, but the new owner wanted his on coach they still suffering from that.

I'm tryna find it lol

Scrolling comments looking for a lead

Poole played last game badly too.. i guess they figure it out how to defend Poole.. i think they switch the defender to stop poole

Hey honestly it's not even that , they just didn't shoot as much , and Poole missed layups he would normally hit. It was a rough one for him but he will improve. And Klay well it was tough for him.

Poole also hurt his shooting hand last game... possible there is some lingering pain

So...that's basketball. The motto...stay ready. The reality...be fluid 'cause anything can happen and does.

@@18jeepsrt74 yess it is most likely that. You can't go from just 2 great games to playing u comfortably and missing your regular shots out of nowhere lol

🤣🤣🤣

True🤣🤣😭

MPJ is not that good! He is a offensive role player who can basically shoot the ball & rebound. He cannot create offense & is horrendous on defense. Not to mention chronic back injury. Nuggets should trade MPJ for a strong perimeter defender

Cause Aaron Gordon ain’t it

They were at one time still didn't do any good

@@anthonytaylor7928 back in 2020 they went to WCF. It does not got much further than that anyways.

Fully healthy Suns are a problem,not to mention the Heat or Bucks

Agreed. Although the Warriors win this game, you can see that they do not have a perfect line-up to balance everything. Fortunately, they got lots of time right now, they really need to think about how to manage the rotation in the next series with Curry back to be the starter.

i think kevon and adams is a great match unlike jokic vs looney. Then dray on jackson. I say rebounding aint the problem in this at all. Last yr curry has no help so this yr hell nah no way they can do the same.

@@xyzxyz3917 I don't think Adams will be on the floor against the Warriors. Just like against the Wolves

Lol.they kill the bigs in Dribble.handoffs by by draymond

Rivers got injured or who knows what this outcome is

@@carloscastaneda3818 Keeping Poole from scoring was their game plan. When poole scores over 20 points they have won all their games. But if curry has a good night they can still lose. Evidence can be seen on game 4 of the series. But yes if rivers didnt get injured maybe the chances of warriors would be less

Wishful thinking if they can lure jokic in, but probably can't pay him that much

They are just gonna keep on saying it too until they are finally right lmao. Especially "big brains" like chuck and shaq who keep saying" they gotta PuNiSh those little guys" like some 3 time champs and hofers and gonna just LET some upstart young punks just dominate them while they stand there looking haplessly 😂😂😂😂😂

@@lucky889s9 God I wish 😤😤😤

@@goldiethemack3051 jokic is a perfect fit for dubs. But giving Looney, Lee, bjelica, jta, moody in total still not enough to pay him

@@lucky889s9 you forgot wiggs, wiggs have 3 shooters draw all attention from him , if we replace wiggs with gordan, gordan would have a dunk contest by himself

Fr, if Murray was playing, it could’ve been either team taking this series,

Nope he wouldn’t have mattered

Tbd honestly

@@ti84satact12 ah there you are again...lmfao get a life dude instead of posting on all denver comments

The team is called Nuggets 😂😂😂

Warriors aren’t even fully healthy bro 🤦🏾‍♂️ but the series would be different if Murray, and porter played. As great scorer as they are both of those two guys struggles mightily on the defensive end. Would’ve been a better series ofc, but if they were healthy it wouldn’t guarantee that Denver would advance.

Kyrie and Jokic to Dallas

They wouldn’t beat the warriors. At best you could say if they weren’t so injured they wouldn’t have needed to play the warriors in round 1. I predict the team gets worse in the next few years. MPJs contract is bad and that dude will never live up to even 1/2 the money you all gave him.

Bro it’s like midnight where he is lmao he’s prolly been there like 12 hours

Laker fan here....02 New Orleans?

Boston 17 not 18, yet!

@@me3ksdagoat279 thats when the hornets moved to nola

Boston has 17 bro

Warriors are too small! Draymond is an elite defender but he can’t guard great big men!

@@ti84satact12 guess you missed the reigning MVP and his efforts against Draymond Green this series

@@adriaanj1808 warriors was lucky Jamal Murray and MPJ out injured. I think the warriors will have no problem beating the grizzlies, Mavs and Suns, if Suns booker not 100%, and finals they prefer to play heat or Celtics more than bucks or sixers.

@@ti84satact12 ya that's why they prefer to play teams without unstoppable big, they can't guard giannis, embidd and jokic. Ayton and bam also good, but warriors can stop them more effectively.

@@tka060681 he didn't play the whole season. Shoulda Coulda Woulda

Reference to the bus driver comment made by Chuck a few days ago, stoof.

@@gotzn0name478 ...uh yeahhhh that was the joke. That's why i'm laughing.

Don't forget the Celtics. That 2nd round matchup will determine who gets to the Finals I think

A Suns - Bucks rematch or Warriors - Celtics finals are the 2 finals I really want this year.

Your underestimating the Grizzlies bro

@@jacobwilkie241 The are amazing, but its the team with the least expirience. If they go through the Bucks they will become the favorites. I am so excited to see an amazing series. May the best team win

Yeah, i think Memphis will be the true challenge for them

It's not that Denver was bad, it's just a bad matchup for them.

@@jirengrey4140 I believe both. Denver's supporting cast might be the worst out of the playoff teams.

@@leeel521 Yeah that would be a classic. Memphis reminds me of Golden State 2013-2014 an up and coming team on the brink. This is crucial for the Warriors, the next three years probably the final run as younger teams like Memphis are coming of age.

@@zpacify What do you mean "might be the worst supporting cast out of play-off teams " ??? He has the worst supporting cast in whole NBA, not just play-offs ! Put any other superstar on that team and Nuggets become worst team in NBA

They have booboo sitting on the bench 🤣

murray and mpj was hurt, he has help when healthy

@@MarvyG23 those boys are injured prone

Tbh, they need defenders. Hopefully they can get Bruce Brown as he's an UFA.

Steph is my favorite player but KD was better! Ask Iguodala who was better because he said it was KD on Redick’s podcast!

@@ti84satact12 if talent wise Kd is better but if you want your team to win, I'll go with steph.

They're more or less the same level if you ask me. Don't know what's been cooking in New Jersey but since building that super team to try (and fail) from stopping Lebron and Miami there's been too many head scratching decisions, I wonder if that's why Harden left the organization.

Hopefully...i wish to join them...we need a tower..several seasons passed we dont have it..like jokic as a tower..

That would actually be an excellent fit for jokic

Mmm ideally yes, he's the perfect fit. But how they gonna pay him.? Looney, Lee, bjelica, moody, jta combined probably ain't enough to pay him

@@lucky889s9 wiggs and some benched players. jokic is a good passer and an offense threat , every team would suffer

@@t-time62 and nuggets will burn the arena before letting that happen. Unless it's unrestricted for him..

Aw ok I didn't realize that was GP2 clutching up and driving multiple times for uncontested layups at the end? Yea sure 😂😂😂

Chill out, let's see how Boston does against the Heat ok?

Yeah I agree it will be these two teams in the finials

That would be a fire finals. I want that finals or a Suns - Bucks rematch

Fingernail on a chalkboard is better than Stephen ASS. Only thing worse than listening to Stephen ASS: listening to Skippy Bayless.

Nah I rather listen to Shannon and skip then him

He's making himself looking like idiot making up words and opinions since the bus rider thing.

lol i don't think that's a word. He's just saying Warriors vets have to get use to the mentality of closeout games and playoff atmosphere because they haven't been there in a while. It's not a bad take.

Lol know u guys see that

@laki9999 I mean you can tell from how the first round is officiated whom the league has deemed the winners. All year they were going hard calling players for jumping into the defense. (Hence why Westbrook had his worst season ever) This series there was none of that. Just watch their next series games. At the end of the day this is a business and whatever is better for ratings is what is gonna happen. Denver has such a small viewership any finals including them would see a drastic drop off. (Hence why they will never get there) short of idk, signing Bron. Ask yourself why only 1 sports league in the country has it to where players, commentators, and unaffiliated sports analysts CANNOT comment on bad officiating. Other leagues you can get fined for taking to Twitter to express frustration on officiating. (Nfl will fine you) in the NBA the LEAGUE will suspend you. Not your team, the LEAGUE.

@laki9999 GSW vs the Bucks btw. Warriors in 6.
