  1. The Denver chicken nuggets are only regular season champs …..They will flame out in the playoffs …..

  2. Nuggets fans saying Jokic was getting fouled, but the nuggets shot more free throws than grizzlies lololz 😂

  3. Jokic just had a bad game, just had 24, 18 and 13 against the number 1 defense in the NBA, the Cavs. Also no Aaron Gordon.

  4. Tillman is a fourth rate clown. Wow. Game meant literally nothing to the Nuggets and everything to Memphis. Griz treated this like a playoff game and the Nuggets couldn't have cared less. I'm always amused by 10th men like Tillman 'enlightening us' about how to 'stop' Jokic.

  5. Good assessment by the Memphis Grizzlies coach. The selector estimated that Jokić is 90 percent nuggets, and the rest is irrelevant. The coach understood that Denver lacked playmakers and wings, and it turned out to be correct, Jamal M. after the break against Cleveland for 2 shots 31.6 percent and against Memphis 23.1 percent for 3, against Cleveland 27.3 and against Memphis 20 percent. . MPJ got 20 percent for 2 and 14.3 for 3. The reinforcement of Nuggets is at the level of the citizen group. This Memphis coach made a good tactic against Denver that everyone will use in the playoffs. Pressure on Jokić and hitting, and you let these irrelevant players go and they can't do better. Why All Teams Want to Go Denver Nuggets in the Playoffs – What Do You Think?

  6. Such a effortless game from Denver players, almost we can conclude this was schedule lose and trying to help Memphis to keep their 2nd place…which is very hard to keep if we look at the upcoming games for Memphis-3xLAC,3xDAL, 2xGSW, 2xLaL @DEN,MIA,MiL and addition @ ATL, NOP, CHI…Whether we want to admit it or not, no one would like to see Phoenix as the 2nd seed at the end. For me personally this is classic NBA rest night for both contenders and we life goes on…like coach said for us this was 63rd game for them this was Play-off game. GL in the rest of the season.
