    When the big serb is that good, Denver is unbeatable. The best basketball player I’ve ever seen.

    Loved CBs activity running in transition all night. Big 3 as well in the 4th. Also I told you guys KCP would get some shots to fall! Finally had some hits from the corner and the midrange, great hands as always all night

  2. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Remember when Denver was down 0-2 and all kinds of randoms on Twitter tried to argue Jokic was a glorified Andrea Bargnani?

  3. Man Jokic was truly incredible. I still can’t believe that we get to watch this man night in and night out. Big shoutout to AG, CB and KCP for incredible games to. Now let’s get the series on thursday. Let’s fucking goooooooo

  4. petarisawesomeo

    Slo-mo only -4 in 16 minutes. Greatly improved game from him.

  5. moderate_iq_opinion

    I doubted the nuggets and I apologize

  6. Unfair-Nectarine-757

    Shout out KAT for keeping the munder

  7. SportsJunkie4Life

    NUGGS IN 6!!! SHAQ is in shambles seeing Jokic dominate

  8. Night-Menace

    Aunt Edwards after game 4: “KEEP TALKING, WE LOVE IT, I LOVE IT”

  9. petarisawesomeo

    Looked like Kat was limping off the floor at the end of the game. That might be another injury Wolves have to deal with under short rest.

  10. Superbotto

    I don’t wanna hear shit about the reffing. TWolves got just as bad a whistle as the Nuggets.

  11. manbeqrpig

    We are not worthy to have the GOAT on our team

  12. wherewhenwhowhat

    Holy shit did this team fully deactivate Ant this game

  13. jbone9877

    Was that Vinny Castilla walking behind Murray on Altitude?

  14. doggoesmeow

    Ngl Murray flurry happening in garbage time was pretty funny

  15. Is it just me or should Jamal take more 3s, I feel like I saw him turn down 2-3 solid looks and it’s been happening a lot

  16. BrokenDusk

    Jokic 16pts in 4th quarter of game 4, 16 pts in game 5 in 3rd quarter . Just MVP things

  17. The Nuggets weren’t content just practicing how to overcome a double digit deficit against the Lakers.

    They wanted to practice overcoming an 0-2 deficit on the road.

  18. SmackBroshgood

    This was a rad game that never felt in doubt after the run in the 3rd, and I genuinely feel sorry for game thread folks who are clinically unable to sit back and enjoy greatness as it’s happening.

  19. petarisawesomeo

    I think Ant looks gassed. He’s playing 44-45 minutes every game running their entire offense and trying to lock up Jamal.

  20. lilgohanx

    Murray stealing the ball from ant is picture fucking perfect after last game and his puppy barks. Dudes a front running bitch fuck the wolves

  21. Skeetronic

    Team has completely flipped the script since game 2.

  22. Bleppingheckk

    I stated in the game thread but if you weren’t convinced how good of a coach Malone is after leading the team to back-to-back 1-3 comebacks in the bubble, this series should solidify it for you now. The way he adjusted and got the team mentality back into the series after the devastating lost of game 2 cannot be praised enough.

  23. SmackBroshgood

    Also, after all the talk of “surely Gordon won’t turn into prime Kobe again”, that turnaround jumper to ice the game before Jok’s 3 was fucking hilarious.

  24. ClaytheKingpin

    Love seeing our MVP do MVP type things, love those points in the paint numbers from the whole team

  25. OhWhatsInaWonderball

    I genuinely believe Jokic doesn’t hate any player but he hates Rudy Gobert

  26. boydivision30

    Last 3 games were a beatdown. Fckin beatdown. Against the team that was built supposedly to destroy us.

  27. Looks like Dray really enjoyed Gobert getting cooked.

  28. francoissimmons

    what a great way to spend a tuesday night
