Jamal lol
goodgame MIN..
jokic hurt!?!?! NOOOOOOO
Respect to ANT. MAL BALLED TF OUT. GO NUGGETS!!!!
I told this before jamal murray is the best player in denver
This game is not difficult for the Denver Nuggets, as if in the dining room they put the dessert first before the delicious food. if you watch Jokic play, you can tell that basketball is easy for him.
Jamal Murray is a true superstar
2:27 ayo bruh
Wtffff. Jokic owns two NBA's top centers in a single team.
What happened to Edwards? He's game is not showing. Looks like his chowking in the playoffs.
Nuggets took control because nobody panicked and Wolves gassed out by the mid fourth quarter. A couple of years ago this Nuggets team would’ve self destructed and lost control the second they lose the lead.
This Nuggets team is For Real 💯

When guards start in your facing with 3s, Jamal starts in your facing better with his own.
Seamless win‼️
Good game 🍿
Jokic should wear protection over his eyes!
Jamal beast mode
Imagine a Cleveland vs Denver series they both match up so well it would be so fun watching those 2 teams go against each other am i right?
nice
Towns is baggage. he screens stops and waits to shoot. doesnt play defense. postup on the three point line. we play better, move better without him
.
Man these players complain for fouls too much
Wolves fought hard but they missing a playmaker Rudy not that bad but this not the team for him nuggets in 5
Killer instinct. Is what the Denver Nuggets need. Sweep is needed.
Karl Anthony Towns is useless come playoff time
I want to see this Denver Nuggets team win a title. I hope they can do it someday
KAT was shown around the town
Get em
This was the series that I care the easy about in the west. I just don't see Denver winning a championship. Like, they have the talent but idk. Something about them doesn't say NBA champion.
MPJ is the Key to How Far they Go in the Playoffs cause you Can’t Guard Jamal/Jokic and him
The joker is the MvP,100th
Even tho they couldn’t hang on in the 4th you gotta give credit to the Wolves coming back from 21 down and putting up a fight!
I honestly think Joker understands the game of basketball as any big man who's ever played. How he kept dishing to Gordon on the High/Low. Note: The Talent and Depth on this roster is reduculous
As Always, They'll be a Very Tough Out!.
Can't wait for Gobert to dominate in China.
This nuggets team is dangerous. No one is talking about them going far. Their bench is also deep. I’d say they’re a lock for the Conf. Finals and def a good possibility in the finals.
Bubble murray is back
The Nuggets Look very Clean with Their crisp passing and clean chemistry. There strength is their versatility. They're fun to watch.
That was a good as game UNTILL the refs made some horrible calls ..but hey is not Denver's fault so game 3 is next..
This is a clear reason why Jokic don't deserve MVP… his team is stacked. Mvp is most valuable meaning if they don't play their team is no where near as good as when they're on the court like the bucks or sixers…. if embiid didn't play the last 2 season dropping 30 a game the sixers don't win more than 40 games both seasons… same with Giannis. Jokic is a Stat padder playing in garbage time when they already smoking teams.. embiid drops 45 just for the sixers to win by 2…. it's not even close
Murray balled out, MPJ was huge in the second half, and the Jokic to Gordon connection is beautiful
Refs need a bias check
