The Minnesota Timberwolves completely humiliated the defending champs in game 1 and 2.
But while the Timberwolves led by the upcoming superstar Anthony Edwards got their deserved praise it felt like everyone already wrote the Denver Nuggets
Did they forgot that a series ends when a team wins 4 games out of 7 games
Not 2.
Why are they still underrestamating the Denver Nuggets ?
They are the defending champs for a reason!
and they proved it time and time again in this series
Especially the now 3 time MVP Nikola Jokic!
Jokic looked fabulous in game 3!
Dropping a near 25 point Triple Double with 24 points, 14 Rebounds and 9 Assists to keep his Team alive in the playoffs
It felt like the typical Nikola Jokic game
Completely Controlling the game
Never in a rush
Elite finishing combined with excellent footwork
The Joker gave his Team everything to prevent a 3-0 lead and this was only the beginning..
Game 4 was slightly closer, incredibly nerve wrecking to be more specific but Nikola Jokić came up clutch to save the day
Jokić put up 35 Points along with 7 Rebounds and 7 Assists to tie the series 2-2!
16 out of the 35 points were scored in the 4th quarter!
He looked absolutely dominant but something was different.
He was very aggressive on offense which is obvious considering that we are in a playoff setting but it felt like he wanted to show the world why he’s the rightful MVP of the NBA.
Believe it or not
There are actually people out here who truly believe that he doesn’t deserve the MVP.
You can’t convince me that Nikola Jokic didn’t took it personally after that.
Before the start of game 5 Jokic got his mvp trophy presented in front of the homecrowd and you could just feel that this night would become something special
Jokic was locked in from the start
Finishing the first half with 19 Points on elite efficiency.
That 3rd quarter however…
I can’t explain what I’ve witnessed
It was simply one of the greatest displays of skills you’ll ever see!
Tell me one move in the repotoire of all the nba legends you know and I’m 100 certain that jokić pulled off one of their moves in just that 3rd quarter
and man the way he dominated Rudy Gobert…
It was exactly like hakeem when he decided to humiliate David Robinson in front of everyone
Speaking of Rudy Gobert,
Sure Jokic absolutely manhandled Rudy but to act like he’s a scrub is just false
He just gets lot of undeserved hate
It’s no shame to get cooked by one of the greatest player this game has ever seen
Just ask bam Adebayo or Anthony Davis.
Jokic finished the Game dropping Jokic finished the Game dropping an unreal 40 Points ,7 Rebounds and 13 Assists while turning the ball over zero times!
Nikola Jokic is just inevitable!
The Euphoria however did not last long.
