The Inside Crew Reacts to Warriors-Nuggets Game 3 | NBA on TNT 

My thoughts exactly 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly!!! 😂😂😂

True no impact on the game when it mattered!!! Go warriors!!!

lol yea i found that funny. i was like man doesnt look like it kenny./....

He was right tho. Ain't all bout stats yall will learn that one day

"This is when you need to make defensive stops, defensive rebounds" *gets defensive rebound* 😂

As usual

Different culture. It's the exact reason as to why superstars like Durant and others don't give Jokic credit and feel like they have to support Embiid.

best comment here

Embiid came back from a deficit for a third straight win (and hit a sick GW), Jokic lost a lead in the clutch for a third straight loss. You're reading stats without context. Embiid is a far better defensive player. Jokic's steals are inflated because offences attack him. He's not that strong, he has slow feet, and he plays below the rim. He disappeared in the clutch.

This team with healthy Jamal Murray and MPJ plus Jokic would be a killer big 3. Sadly the rest of the guys aren't talented enough in their absence. Monte plays well but is more of a roleplayer. Aaron Gordon just failed to rise to the occasion and Will Barton is past his prime/ceiling.

They got handful of veterans

They’ll still get swept

I had the same thoughts.... Guys being salty over Joking getting b2b and not their favorite....

He's somewhat right though. If Jokic's 37 18 and 5 assist is enough, they would have won. It didn't even helped hype his teammates and the problem I noticed about Jokic is that he doesn't commit much on defense like Giannis, Embiid or even Al Horford. I'm sure that you know that defense wins championships. On the part of his teammates, they don't have any schemes to defend these guards of GSW. What he needs to do now I think is to be on a receiving end and commit on defense more than he does right now.

I feel for the Joker man he is the only going into a fight with a knife while everyone else in the conference has machines guns, no Murray no Michael Porter and he is expected to put a fight cause he might win MVP.

He showed he’s not clutch with the turnover caused by draymond.

Showed his greatness even and a loss?! Sounds like a loser frame of mind... 🤡

Greatness? Yeah getting stripped clean with the game on the line…Jokic is a great player but he should not be a two time MVP which I think he will be!

I’ll never understand giving someone credit for a loss 🤣 like “here’s your participation trophy” your teams down 0-3 and your out here giving pats on the back🤣 honestly i feel bad

He showed he can't rotate, peep wiggins 3 embiid 10/10 times would contest cuz 3 hurts you more don't know y he tryna stay paint all the time

Views from Kobe's shoulders.

Kenny was there....ask him if Shaq was impactful in the '95 finals between the Magic and Rockets. Shaq averaged 28 pts, 12.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.5 blocks.....and the Magic got swept. I'd wager Shaq thinks he was impactful and if Kenny said he wasn't he'd go classic angry Shaq in the studio who can't deal with any slight and start verbally attacking Kenny.

Shaq was the clear #1 during their three-peat. Kobe, however was Lakers' future asset and especially Jerry West's favorite due to his upside, leadership skills via leading by example and that crazy work ethic of his. So, I feel they chose right. And Shaq got a ring in Heat with DWade so it all played out well

@@manz7860 Shaq hardcarried Kobe during 2 of those 3 championships. And was a clear #1 in League (Duncan being the distant 2nd, who took on after)

@@moneymarr Keep it a stack, do you honestly believe Denver had a chance against Golden State? He’s missing Murray, and MPJ.

idk if i would say he "torched him" half of each starting quarter he was guarded by looney for the beginning of the quarter to save Draymond from foul trouble. A lot of his scoring came from rebounding too

100% correct. I don't care about mvp race and bs like that. If Denver had Murry and MPJ this would have been different series but they don't and it's showing.

they're dumb as a rock don't take it seriously its the usual its supposed to be basketball a team sport 5v5 but wow shocking, jokic 1v4 the enemy still lost. if jokic has no impact this game is a blowout

Its because those two have been out basically ALL season. They made it all the way here without them. If they made it this far they should be able to do better. like cmon this team was a higher seed then the Timber wolves, clippers, lakers and the pelicans not just that they had one more loss then the Jazz soo if they can do that well without MPJ and Murray to beat out all those teams then they should be able to make something work in the playoffs.

Guess you didn't watch the game and just look at the box score nerd!

@@jordanl5341 bro... we watched jokic was the only reason this was close all game... imagine embid against the warriors with no harden and maxey... thats the comparison that needs to be made.

That’s the problem with just looking at stats. That’s why Jokic will win his second MVP because some stat geeks think they’ve found a way to quantify someone’s value. Jokic had 37 points 18 rebounds and 5 assists but he had two key turnovers in the final few minutes and missed a couple of key shots toward the end. Take a look at how many of those points and assists came in the final 5 minutes when the game was on the line!

@@ti84satact12 the point is that most people place the emphasis on what Joker did not do as if he is the whole team lol... not even the greatest players with a mediocre team are expected to match the numbers Joker is pulling yet it is very easy to focus on what the Joker did not do.... what else can you ask for? at this point the Joker can score every single point for the denver team... lose the game.. and you folks would still focus on what the Joker did not do or what he did wrong. FACTS.

@@jcoca8699 If it was all about stats then I guess Westbrook is the greatest player of all time lol Jokic puts up empty stats and his fanboys go crazy lol

Typical racism but no one will say it out loud

it’s already clear Jokic has a low-level supporting cast. He has to put up 40+ to pull a win, because his teammates can only do so much(so little). Embiid actually has capable players who aren’t doubleteamed regularly

We already know how they be with Jokic … don’t know what people were expecting for him with this team… you could put prime Mj or Lebron in this team and they ain’t going nowhere specially against this gsw

But he didn't make a impact Didn't make big shots when they needed him, he had a turnover

Charles pointing out Jokic’s turnovers is hilarious, as if Embiid isn’t twice as careless with the ball down the stretch. Them acting like Embiid is clutchest player in the league and joker doesn’t show up is a joke

If joker wasn’t on the team they’d be lucky to win 20 games this year. The slander against jokic is insane.

Because Jokic is the best player of our lifetime and he should be able to get out of the first round

MVP should carry past the first round. Bottom line.

Actually it's because Chokic got crushed by Draymond Green on offense and lost the important rebounds on defense, against a mismatch. You don't need "help" against this small lineup, are you the biggest, strongest player? Score more points. If LeBron can score 41 on the younger Draymond Green, then Chokic should be able to score 50, because Draymond is now older, and Chokic is bigger. Letting Will Barton take 13 shots is Chokic faults, not Will Barton. If you get the praise, you also get the blame. Choker Joker does everything but winning.

To add on to my last comment than I'll leave it alone. Luka and jokic is supposeldy so great but can't get 1 all star level player or superstar to come play with them? Why is that I wonder? Well I know why. Could it be other great players around the league see the favoritism I spoke on already, and they know joining a team with either of those two would lead to them getting all the blame while jokic or luka get all the praise? Maybe other players quietly take offense to all the pre crowding of players who haven't accomplished anything yet. As long as the league keep treating them like babies making excuses for them they won't see any great teammates unless it's by draft or forced trade. It's hard to respect.

So yes while 37 points is great fact of the matter it’s not gonna be enough to win if the Nuggets do want to win. They deserve respect for making it this far given their current roster but it’s not going to change the fact that they are down 3-0 besides making them and the fan base feel a little better.

@@rellfacts279 He's obviously trying to tear him down what do you mean? Shaq is sensitive about another big man passing him in MVPs

@@davide4725 All he said was Jokic has to give them more if they want to win. Which yes he has to because while he is playing great in order to beat the Warriors right now he has to play even better.

No it wouldn't, instead of losing by 20s in that scenario they'd lose by 7, Nuggets are getting destroyed on perimeter neither MPJ or Murray is known for their defending. This is a nightmare match-up for any team centered around Bigs

@@doctorsam5771 which is many of the remaining teams too

@@18jeepsrt74 Yeah, which is why I'm betting big on Warriors being the Champs this year, I just don't see how a big centered team can hang around with that new small ball lineup. 3 lethal shooters, Wiggins cutting and slamming as a battering ram, Draymond being able to guard Centers all by himself

Defense while always paramount is not the Nuggets issue at the moment... What Murray and Porter would do is provide Tangible proven scoring punch that is sorely needed. The Warriors are getting out on sustained runs because Jokic is basically a one man band... He is also a center, an extremely skilled one but a center and thus can usually be attacked from multiple levels... The outlets of Murray from Porter from deep and slashing would be threats that must be accounted for... Just my opinion...

Blaming the franchise for Murray and MPJ injuries? Fully heathy this team is completely different and obviously better.

That’s why he’s not mvp

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@mbayadji Middleton made a all star team before what are you on

It's not franchise fault that 2 of their best 3 players are injured. How is Jokić suppose to beat them all on his own.

I watched game and klay shots for just as important as Jordan

Bleacher Report has it.

House of Highlights i mean.

He said something like “ when you’re banging dudes”

Its not Jokic job to defend GSW guards. Come on.

Hes playing 1v5 and he was never that good of a defender lol hes good enough but its like rest of his team isnt even thete

@@Nikezic72 man he’s FOOD in the switch it doesn’t even matter if he DID😭🤌🏿

@@olorin3815 stop making excuses for a team that was never making any sort of run… jokic time is to be the punching bag rn & he can either rise to be the best player on the court or go home with the ball watchers

@@HentaiGod he was best player on the court tho lol

Only people who watched the game knows which shots made, were actually the crucial ones. Klay was the one holding it down for the warriors in the first three quarters

“Despite his 37,18 and 5🙃🙃” - Ernie

This is what happens when you on national TV trying your hardest to sound smart.

Excuses Excuses....He didn't do enough! 22 shots?? Really?? No killer instinct! Smh

@@moneymarr 37 points on 22 shots is spectacular. Plenty of killer instinct from the MVP, unfortunately, the Warriors have 3 of those dudes.

@@davide4725 He needed closer to 30 shots up & way more FT attempts than a measly 9 for a dude that size! Smh

This is the best... all i hear is how teams with a true big is a mismatch for the warriors and truth is the warriors are a mismatch for teams centered around a big...

What would be a good fit for him though? Where do you think he could reasonably go? I'm not too sure of like the current contracts and team caps and stuff.

@@ELGUAPOIV He'd actually be perfect in Golden State to be honest...no way they could sign him and be under the cap....but a center sized guy who can score from the perimeter and pass like a point guard? Remember, they were a successful team running Andrew Bogut out at center back in the day...imagine having a guy like Jokic.

@@KClouisville That team would be so hard to beat. You are right ✅

I agree with you and not with the broadcast.
