Nuggets show up, Heat has no chance.
Jokic will be the most dominant in man ever – more so than Shaq and will prove it winning 5 rings and 3 more mvps with 5 finals mvps. He's way more skilled than any other big man and totally unstoppable
Walton, no Collin, bad comparison, Jokic IQ is like Larry Bird, he rebounds like Moses Malone, passes like himself, Barkley was a freak of nature…
Jokic is amazing no doubt… But saying stuff like “Murray, played reasonable defense” ain’t enough… Him and Jokic ain’t adjacent, but my goodness he had a hell of game as well… Just started this video so I hope Collin makes up for that…
Idk maybe Jokic is the best player in the league right now!
Stop having trash Colin’s on your show !! His takes are trash!. I won’t watch when colin is here !
Stop NCAA and start youth academies. That’s the way American players can keep up with European players @17:40
SHAQ would agree with you about Joker being the most dominant since him.
I thought the same thing as far as if you take Lebron, Curry, Durant out the league as their career is wrapping up. What does it say about how Americans are developed when the best players are international (Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby soon)?
my dude just said @10:20 … "I really do think Denver is better when Denver is at its best." ………… Thanks
When Miami doesn’t shoot a crazy high percentage from 3, they are very very mid.
With Butler it often feels like he has decided what games the heat need to win and on those games he tries. It feels like he is just using his energy efficiently like it is a chess match. But if this was another player we would all just say he is streaky and inconsistent. So I dont know.
Tell this dude to stop bringing up the lakers lmaoooo
The insight is palpable
The height difference between the Lakers and the Nuggets wasn’t even that big… Colin will run that false narrative into the ground 😂. Look at the heights of the players on both rosters and you’ll see Colin is exaggerating…smh…
The Joker is the only center in this era I believe that will offensive dominate any center in history but will get dominated on the defensive end by the same centers
Jokic is like prime arvydas sabonis max leveled up. We were cheated from seeing the latter in the league until he came when he was past his peak. What’s even better is that Jokic comes from the generation of foreign players born post Dream Team in a league which now caters to free flowing offense instead of clogged and congested lanes during the 90’s and 00’s.
Yall just be on here suckin jokic off this is wack
Denver not fascinating? They play one of the most beautiful Basketball un the league for a very long time, the real reason Denver and other teams are not represented as much because of ya all crazy Media dudes. Ya all want stupid drama, but there will be a time where ya all will look back and regret not giving them more attention. History in the making in Denver
Nuggets 5 of 18 from the 3 ball land. Only made 5 three's and crushed them. Old school ball back???
Booker Kd Ad Jimmy and bam have played right into Denver’s hands taking all the pocket mid range shots. Very hard to consistently beat a team like Denver shooting high volume tough 2s.
Nuggets in 5.
The league is ok; needs to find a way to eliminate flopping and way too many threes…
Colin said the exact word I was thinking last night “Methodical” I said it’s either rigged to some or methodical to others
That wasnt Denver’s best punch. KCP and MPJ are awful on offense. Have to assume they’ll hit some shots.
Miami won a close game and people went crazy….but they came back to earth 🌎 when the best duo jokic and Murray won last night 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Jason is always detail
We cant see the nuggets at home. Have not been able to for years. Comcast will not carry Altitude.
Amazing Analysis and Perspective! Bravo Gentlemen
Miami's half court offense didn't look good
Jokic is unstoppable 😊😊😊and with Murray the best duo
Durant Lillard embiid steph are great players but jokic is the new sheriff in town 😊😊😊
