MVP 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸3
Refs were garbage. Jokic is a fake MVP. Elite on the offensive end but gets some of the softest calls in the league. He's also a complete sieve defensively
Jokic is HIM.
Y’all can’t tell me this isn’t one of the greatest playoff series of the 2010’s up. Majority of the teams on both the west & east having upsets, edge of your seat moments, & close 4 quarter battles. I think we have to thank partially thank Ja Morant for “I’m fine in the west” because man is this been great basketball to watch!!
Jokić x3 MVP!
Can't stop Nikola!
no one'll kill ya on Twitter, that really was Jordan esque
8-29 with so much free throws… but Jokic came in clutch, no doubt. ggs timberwolves
Nuggets should win the title.
MVP mode
Jokic finally pulled off an embiid type game (with more assists) horrible shooting 27.5% and million free throws
Who designed that floor? Looks like a kitchen from the 1950’s.
MVP!!!
That smirk at end though 😂🥶🤡
Credit to Jokic for not going into his shell and staying confident
Cant wait for Suns nuggets second round we busting they ass forreal
Suns in 5
Towns was over extending and fouling all game, Joker should get more FT. Plus he only had 10, Towns and Gobert got 9 each. Haters gotta find better excuses
👏👏👏
Joker, One&Only MVP !!!
On one of the worse nights for him, Joker still posted a triple double and came up clutch
3 x MVP
Bravo momci
Joker stat pads his triple double
The Celtics will win game 6 on Thursday night
This cirus shot was innnnncroyable
Jokic mvp
Tough game, a lot of missing, especially open positions…but at the end Joker, Jamal and MPJ shown in 4/4
So many smile's on Jokic face as a gift to the refs for all those no calls.
in the end justice prevailed! officiating was a disgrace in the 4th quarter!!! so many no calls for denver side (officials managed to screw up the challenge call even) they basically got the wolves back into the game with horrible calls, denver had to dig deep what shoulda been an easy finish 😡😡😡 i’ve never seen someone disrespect 2xMVP (1st seed) and one of the best coaches in the NBA like this
That was an amazing performance by the wolves almost stole the show..congrats you guys..
Let's go Nuggets!!
MVP 3 Times Mr. Air Joker 💪

Jokic 28 points and 12 assistance, its at least 52 points. Almost half 😊
