    Peyton Watson is going to be a star. Already a great defender, explosive and he’s only getting better offensively. Helps that he’s buddies with KD and a lot of the old guard

  2. jeric13xd

    That’s how Champions close ladies and gentlemen.

    Joker masterclass. That Joker-Jamal pnr and Jok-AG connection is not fair. That game was electric. I love basketball.

  4. suzukigun4life

    Give me a seven-game series between these two and inject it directly into my veins

  5. MaddenTexasRanger

    Where were you when Tatum disappeared?

  6. thewavefixation

    Aaron Gordon eats leprechauns like they are lucky charm marshmallows

  7. At6-8FromSyracuse

    Tatum for MVP sounds good until you watch him on the court at the same time as an actual MVP

  8. Apprehensive-Sir-411

    Nikola Jokic is the MVP, and Denver is the best team in the league until proven otherwise.

  9. Propuhganduh

    Only reason I don’t want to play the Celtics in the finals is the fucking transplants here

  10. EdwEd1

    Triple casting this game, Bulls-Warriors, and Spurs-Kings was the most insane thing ever

    Also AG and Peyton Watson are incredible players

  12. 3luejays

    Nuggets getting Aaron Gordon is an all-time great role player acquisition

  13. bigtice

    Wide open three.

    To take the lead.

    In the clutch.

    **Tatum brick.**

  16. LuckysBestMan

    Take Tatum off the bag of Ruffles and put that mf on a box of peeps

  17. SpirituallyAwareDev

    Peyton Watson is a defensive superstar in the making.

  18. Unfair-Nectarine-757

    Van Gundy said Celtics got the moral W. Nuggets are fucked.

  19. der_innkeeper

    Freaking dunk competition tonight by the Nuggets.

  20. Alexcox95

    Well Denver probably wins it all again no matter who comes out of the east.

  21. BigBoyFroggy

    I like Tatum but this dude does not touch the other 4 MVP candidates lmao

  22. comeonyougunners10

    Nuggets still the team to beat. When they play serious, they’re the best team in the league no matter the record

  24. so-cal_kid

    Chris Haynes asking Jokic if that pass to Gordon was intentional. Gtfoh with that dumb question

  25. landlion35

    How is there a rim still? I saw AG destroy it

  26. Wedundidit00

    Jokic will end up top 5 all time. Incredible. As a Celtics fan, I appreciate the greatness

  27. NoahW2342

    So the league is just jokic and then literally everyone else

  29. schoolhater12

    Lol, the Celtics had more free throws and the Nuggets were 4/21 from the 3 point line and the Nuggets still won. Jokic is insane

  31. TechnicalSample4678

    Idiotic take by Van Gundy. He said the Celtics showed him more after this game. He based it on the Celtics being a 3 pt shooting team and not shooting it well tonight but still being in it. The Nuggets shot the 3 horrendously you bozo

  32. Bouldershoulders12

    Jokic is just too good . The gap between him and Tatum is just too large for us I think being objective.

    Tatum is a bonafide HOF level player trajectory wise but Jokic is a generational all time great .

    In a playoff series you need to have the best player on the court . I think the Celtics have talent from 2-6 but Jokic is in his own tier

  33. jtiets

    I know Jokic is widely renowned for his passing ability and game vision, but watching him absolutely torch other centers in the paint is my favorite part of his game. Fucking fantastic.

  34. AnkitPancakes

    The difference between Denver and the rest of the great teams is that Denver **without fail** will always generate a high quality look. Whether that’s a corner 3, AG dunk, Jokic post up, drive and kick to MPJ/KCP, Murray/Jokic pnr etc etc etc

    They have answers to everything and even though the numbers don’t quite support it – it is pretty clear to me that this is the best offense in the league, and will likely be looked at as one of the greatest ever when we reflect on Jokic’s legacy in the years to come

  35. SoberSethy

    Everyone gonna talk about how poor Celtics shot from 3. They shot about -8% on their season average from 3, the Nuggets shot about -17% their season average from 3.

  36. LegoTomSkippy

    As a Celtics fan, I’d be worried that Denver shot so poorly, ran out their 10 man lineup (instead of their 8 man playoff rotation), and the game was only within reach because of the 6 point swing on the Jokic no-call/tech/3pt fast break.

    Tatum won’t be this bad again, but Jaylen Brown won’t be this good either.
