  1. Jokic is historically bad at one thing.

    Making posters.

    He is a modern superstar that requires video to see his greatness.

  2. Nick has literally achieved the ability to act like 2020 didn't happen. He literally thinks that he did not go on a run to go to the Western conference find. In his mind that didn't happen.

  3. Chris: ”[Suns] won every game in PHX.”
    Nick: ”But there is not 2 more games in PHX.”
    Chris: ”……okay.”
    Chris walked right into that one, lol. 😆

  4. Haha nick weight said suns all the way haha he was saying Denver sucks when it all started haha eat crow nick

  5. Nick is looking like he is 60 years old….and he can say everything but never will give respect to Jokic! Its just unbelivable how much this midget hate Jokic but he can be only jealous on his biggest contract in NBA history 😂😂

  6. The reason Joker is 40 10 and 11 is because the opposition coach let him lose and double teamed Murray I stead strategy

  7. Jokic is simply proving he is the mvp again. Voters been listening too much of talkers like these.

  8. Can Nick not interupt Brussard? Is there a version of these videos that doesn't just cut off the ending? Where can I find them? Anyone, please!

  9. What are they gonna do when the nuggets get pass the Suns? National media are HATERS!

  10. Phoenix won game 4 because the refs suck and wanted Denver to lose. Joke of a game. Surprised it's not a bigger story with how egregious it was.

  11. Love how these "experts" base everything on counting the stars and individual efforts. Basketball is a team game, and Nuggets have created the best team in NBA. Thanks to Jokic and that's why he is the legit MVP. He can't jump, can't run, can't defend… but he can lead by example and inspire everyone to play as a team. Forget about Jokic's stats. He is different beast than Lebron, Embiid, Booker, Steph or KD and others with big Ego. The guys is all about the team. Every team in NBA has equal or more individual stars comparing to Denver, but only Nuggets' stars play like a team. Jokic and Malone are like Pop and Duncan back in the day.

  12. Obviously Jokic isnt accomplished in the playoffs like Giannis-who has a ring,& 2 ECFs. But as Chris mentioned-people seem to forget Jokic has been to WCFs,& won a game…overcoming 3-1 defecits TWICE,to Brousards unbeatable Clippers in the bubble. Embied might do it this yr-but hes never got to ECF.Hes got close twice,& Ben Simmons nonsense probably cost them a trip in game 7 vs Atlanta. He also came very close vs Toronto-but that was as much-or more-Jimmy Butler.

    Jokic has been to WCF,& also came very close the year before-which was these Nuggets 1st playoff run. They beat SA,then lost game 7 to a much more playoff experienced Portland-in the final seconds. Nuggets lost 4OT game 3 in that series,& basically lost game 7,on a CJ McCollum jumper with less than a minute. Now just like Portland did-Nugs wouldve got flattened by that GS team. But point is,Jokic has made conf final,& been super close to another. Embied hasnt made any conf finals-but got close twice. But he also had Jimmy Butler.

    Which brings me to the final point. These idiots are going on how Jokic hasnt been good the last 2 playoffs. Go look at his numbers in those playoffs-its ludicrous to say he wasnt great. But last yr-Nugs 2nd,& 3rd best players were basically out all season,& playoffs. Thatt the Nugs won 49 games,& made the real playoffs-was unbelievable. Then without those 2 guys,& also missing 2 or 3 other rotation guys-gave GS all they wanted-for a 5 game series. Steph,& Draymond raved about Jokic,& Nugs giving them fits-despite way beyond ridiculous injuries.

    The year before-Murray was out the whole stretch run,& playoffs-but Nugs still beat Portland-before Phx swept us. But most nba teams wouldnt even make the playin-let alone playoffs-with their 2nd,& 3rd best players out all season. Embied had to suffer cuz of Simmonns issues-but he hasnt had to deal with the complete physical absence of his best teammates. But so many fools criticize Jokic for lack of playoff success-but say nothing bout Embied-whos accomplished less,& has far more to prove in the playoffs.

    Nuggets were rightly a MASSIVE underdog to GS last playoffs. They are a small under dog to Phx this series. Nuggets were basically a pick em without Jamal 2 yrs ago vs Portland-but won…then were massive under dogs to Phx-who came within 2 wins of a title eventually. In the bubble,we were a decent favorite over Utah-but a pretty big under dog to the Clippers,then a pretty big under dog to the Lakers. The season before,we were favored over SA,& probably a tiny favorite over Portland. But not by much-Nugs barely edged out Portland for 2 seed,& home court that yr. But Portland vs #3,& had FAR MORE playoff experience. That was most the Nugs 1st playoff experience. So this idea that the Nugs have underachieved in the playoffs is nonsense. That Portland,round 2 series in 2019 is the only time you can say these Nugs underachieved in the playoffs,or lost as a favorite. But even then-they were a tiny favorite,in their 1st playoff run(similar to Sacramento or Cleveland this yr-neither of whom won 1 round,unlike those Nuggets). And they lost a 4OT game in Portland,& basically on the last play in game 7. Where you can say they underachieved was 2017,& 2018 where they missed the playoffs both times by 1 game. But those were baby Joker,& Murray. Jokic was barely an Allstar yet-let alone MVP Jokic. And those are REGULAR SEASON underachievements-not playoffs. Bottom line,in Jokics career-Nugs have been massive under dogs twice cuz of injuries,& lost both-GS last yr,Phx the year before. But theyve been pretty signifigant under dogs 3 additional times-beat the Clippers,but lost to the Lakers…then are up 3-2 this series. Theyve been signifigant favorites 3 times,& won all 3. Utah in the bubble,Minnesota this yr,& SA in 2019. Twice against Portland,we were either basically pick em,or very tiny favorites. Won once,& lost the other time in 7-an extremely close series throughout. You can only claim they underachieved in that 2019 playoffs-but even thats not fair,being their 1st playoff run,vs a far more experienced Portland-that almost took the 2 seed from us that year…& the series was as close as it gets. Embied has never made a conf final,& has lost as a favorite/underachieved in MULTIPLE playoff series-despite having Jimmy Butler the 1 time they came closest,& the only time til this yr-where they legit had a shot to win a ring,had they got by Toronto,& Kawaii doesnt hit the luckiest shot ever. Yes,hes been hurt by Ben Simmons drama,& glaring weaknesses-but hes still lost multiple series they were supposed to win. You can argue Jokic has never lost a playoff series where the Nugs were SUPPOSED to win-but theyve won a few,& are on the verge again-of winning when they werent SUPPOSED to win.

  13. This Nick clown is seriously mentally ill person and potentially dangerous to walk freely on the streets and they still let him deliver psychotic tirades on highly watched television channels. America the great.

  14. We all know why they hate on jokic and it has nothing to do with his game

  15. So Embiid getting 30 is a monster game, but Jokic getting 3D is just normal.. Media, media, media… They sold the MVP this year to the cry baby..

  16. uhm… nick "the beak" and christina eating their own poop.
    people would think it's a gnarly sight – but for us, basketball knowledgeable people, this is exactly the outcome and performance we expected from and for them.
    eating their own poop.
    looking good while doing that too. makeup and all.
    eating their own poop.
    nick "the beak" and Christina Broussarrrdeaugh.

  17. So they give the suns a chance to win in Denver but Denver no chance to win in Phoenix. Yeah okay lol.

  18. Nick is wrong. In Denver phx are getting they teeth kicked in. In PHX they rarely winning. The game is tied until like 2 mins to go.

  19. You have to be the most impressed with Jimmy Butler as the 8th seed and he is the only star on a Heat team. I'm a nuggets fan and agree Jokic and the nuggets don't get the respect they deserve but that is small market issues. You put this same nuggets team in NY or LA and see how much love they get.

  20. Does Brou not remember the last game 7 Book was in? In Phoenix, no less? Does he not remember how awful KD was games 1-4 against the Celtics, when he got swept despite having a better team around him than this current Phoenix team? I swear his brain turns to mush when talking about this series

  21. Wait… they say he has to go on a deep playoff run, but then say he is the lone all-star on the team. He is about to beat KD and Booker … If he beats LeBron and AD by himself then he would be considered great? Could Durant, Booker, AD, or LeBron (at this age) be able to beat teams with 2 all stars on it by themselves? Embiid has James Harden who is OBVIOUSLY way better than Murray. If Jokic had a superstar teammate with him, I bet he would already have a ring.

  22. Nick , this is blasphemy !! Down right Blasphemy !! Ja over Dame ??? Maybe just in the athletic dept ..4th Quarter , game on the line , I’m taking dame time to win the game over ja who’s great but not better than dame . He’s arguable the 2nd or 3 rd best shooter ever !behind Steph maybe klay which is also debate for another day . So take it from a guy who worked as a bouncer in clubs back in the day dame needs to stay put in club superstar even tho he doesn’t have a ring and will get one if he moves to actual contender and not continue to stay in club Portland for RnR which seems to be all Portland is content with ..

  23. Nobody seems to realize this seasons playoffs has a representative from every seed in the final 8 teams remaining.

    1 nuggets
    2 Celtics
    3 76ers
    4 Suns
    5 knicks
    6 warriors
    7 lakers
    8 heat. Your welcome.

  24. So far they were winning at home. So far Suns had harder time winning in Phoenix and they were not even close to win in Denver.

  25. What is Bru talking about? Denver roll players haven’t even shown what they can do yet. Phoenix isn’t winning a game seven. Just stop

  26. I don't watch this show (or anything on ESPN) so I have no idea who any of these guys are, but the idiot who said that the Suns could beat Denver really needs to be working the fry machine instead of wasting our time with his insane basketball opinions. The Suns have been blown out in 2 of their 3 losses and the other wasn't close. They won two close games at home when Murray forgot how to shoot for 48 minutes and Gordon acted like he stayed out partying the night before…..and they STILL would have lost if Booker hadn't averaged 80% from the field (I'm sure that's the first time in history someone did that in back to back games with over 30 points). They could win again if Booker & Durant were at 60% or better for 75 points, but if ANYTHING else happens they have no chance, even at home.

  27. Watching Nick slowly turn to the light side of the force has been very satisfying

  28. Nick should be commentating on Opera. He looks like an opera man.
    Hey Nick, who you got in La Boheme?
