Putrid Nuggets Stab Nikola Jokic in the Back
well as the old adage goes defense wins championships and in game seven of the Western Conference semis the Minnesota Timberwolves reminded us and the defending world champion Denver Nuggets of that Stark reality as there is nothing left to defend now for Denver as their season has abruptly ended in the second round and there will officially be a new team Crown champion in 201 24 and looking back at it all now it is nothing shy of an absolute miracle that the nuggets have won anything at all with the criminally negligent amount of supporting filth this organization has surrounded the great nicolea yic with it’s a complete crap and if there is any question left to be asked about how and why this guy has three of the last four League MVPs let this game and more importantly this entire series serve as your answer now credit where credit is due to the walking garbage can Jamal Murray who actually showed up in a big way for this game seven he came in averaging just 15.7 points per game on 38.7% shooting for the first six games of this series but had a massive first half to help lead the Nuggets to a 15-point Advantage at halftime while Murray largely vanished in the second half he still more than handled his end of the arrangement for this game finishing the night with 35 points on 13 of 27 from the field three rebounds and three assists and then there was the MVP Nicole yic with 34 points 19 rebounds and seven assists on 13 of 28 from the field in 46 minutes unfortunately he was entirely gassed out for the entire fourth quarter since he had to play every minute of the entire second half sitting out only for a brief two-minute respit in the first half and despite Murray and joic combining for 69 points on 47% shooting in this game it just wasn’t enough it wasn’t enough despite the Timberwolves all everything rid in Star Anthony Edwards scoring only 16 points on six of 24 from the field yeah and you would think amid his struggles and yogic and Murray’s big nights the Nuggets would have cruised in this game but ultimately though the overwhelming team Advantage for the Timberwolves which showed itself for large stretches of this entire series was just too much for the Nuggets to overcome last night and Anthony Edwards team unlike yices had the 22-year-olds back in this game fellow Allstar Carl Anthony towns carried the Timberwolves for stretches of this game and finished the night with 23 points and 12 rebounds on eight of 14 from the field while Jaden McDaniels was enormous for the second straight game as the 10o per game scorer came up with 23 points to co-lead the team in scoring on seven of 10 from the field and three of four from three in all there were six Timberwolves in double figures which included Sixth Man of the Year winner this year NS Reed with 11 points on four of seven from the field Off the Bench and he outscored the entire nuggets bench by himself as Denver’s reserves combined for just five points on the night and frankly it was a criminally negligent and pathetic performance from these gutless nuggets players minus yic and at least for this game Jamal Murray but the real criminality has been purported by the front office in the Assembly of this trash team only four other players outside of joic and Murray scored a single point in this game the third leading scorer in game seven at home for the Nuggets was Michael Porter Jr with seven points seven and for this fraud bum who played more like his brother jont Porter with money on the line for this entire series had his seven points last night come on three of 12 from the field and for the seven game series Michael Porter Jr averaged 10.7 points per game on 37% from the field and for a little bit of cont text here he is playing out a 5year $180 million contract which is good for $36 million annually all for 10 points on 37% shooting for this series and seven points on three of 12 in game seven absolutely breathtaking futility here and the entire nuggets team minus joic and Murray combined to score just 20 21 points on eight of 28 from the field which is good for just 28 1.2% and yes some of this can be attributed to the Wolves stifling League best defense but most of this is emblematic of how Dreadful this team really is which is what made jokic’s title a year ago so utterly impressive but yic who has had an unequaled lack of support throughout his career more on that to come tomorrow will not be taking his talents to some other star studded team this off season he will not be throwing any of his teammates under the bus though they all deserve it he will just put his head down and take all of the blame for this loss along with his playoff averages this year of 29 Points 13 rebounds and nine assists per game on 55% from the field and he’ll just work to get better next year because Yoki is the kind of Superstar we need not the one we deserve and he will be back next season Define the odds with this same Supporting Cast of to try to do the unthinkable and amaze us again
The Denver Nuggets title defense has abruptly, and shockingly ended in the second round amid historical futility by the MVP’s supporting cast.

Kcp 8 ppg on 39% shooting for the playoffs as well.
The media is making the dumb sheep hate jokic in real time
Jokic needs a better team around him. It's just a fact. Winning titles without at least one more all-star on the roster is asking too much, and the fact that he did it last year is truly remarkable.
Bro this a wack video dawg I can feel what you on from your voice. Can’t fw this channel
Bruce Brown meant a lot , with him Nuggets would trashed Minnesota like they did last year. They absolutely NEED a player like that.
Just a bucnh of excuses for Jokić. LBJ fans do the same. They just lost to a better team, it is what it is.
Denvor needs draft pick Johnny Furphy who they say will be draft pick 24 but I think he will go at 14.
Sometimes you just lose. Seems it’s a modern thing to have to revamp the team every season because you don’t win the championship.
They've gotta add to their bench, and think about moving Murray and MPJ. KCP and Gordon are solid but they're tertiary offensive options.

Jokic's lack of defense helped the Wolves take down the defending champions.
Joker has never beaten a 50 win team in the playoffs his entire career. But he's soooooo historic. Don't let SKAP pull the bait an switch. He consistently calls out LeBron and KD for choking or not accepting the blame while throwing teammates under the bus or blaming everyone else or whatever else he can pull out his u know what…..and 9/10 times I fully agree. But when it's joker he's literally doing the same thing for him instead of placing the blame right where it needs to be placed. SKAP is an internet troll no different than skip bayless, Shannon sharpe, SAS, nick wright etc etc. ITS A COMPLETE CRAP!
You can't have it both ways SA – you've made the argument many, many times that Jokic would be able to tip the scales if he had just ONE other player show up with an all-star type contribution. Jamal Murray gave him exactly that caliber of performance in the most important game of their season and joker failed to deliver the W. To your credit, you did note Murray's big-time stat line, despite scapegoating him as a "bum" in several other losses. I think the term inconsistent is more fair & accurate, but hey, controversy = views. Nevertheless, Jokic failed to lead his troops to victory despite the armor of a 15 point halftime & 20 point max lead and a "mid" performance by Anthony Edwards. Now you're blaming the rest of the Nuggets team in the same "jock-sniffer" fashion that you regularly flay Lebum James & his fans for. Let me guess: Jokic needs "MORE HELP?"
This is a failure that Jokic absolutely must bear the brunt of the criticism for, especially as league MVP. Jokic being "gassed" from playing a ton of minutes is a legitimate and observable fact – you could see it in his eyes. He's only human. BUT that's exactly why someone like Jordan is viewed as "other than human": A DOG, A GOAT. I think maybe just maybe MJ was also tired/gassed in that "Flu game", but he had something extra within him that was not subject to the limitations of human physiology. THERE IS NO STAT LINE FOR THE WILL TO WIN.
I've watched and applauded as this channel has repeatedly dismantled LaBia James for similar losses while Anthony Davis put up big numbers alongside him. Try to keep it real here and apply the same standards to Jokic. If joker can't take a 35pt on 50% shooting contribution from Murray and close out a 20 point, third-quarter lead under the bright lights, then he probably doesn't have "it". Jordan had it. Kobe had it. LeFlop doesn't have it. Maybe Jokic doesn't have it either, or maybe he just missed his window. Be happy – as league MVP, Jokic made plumbers great again. But take the stats and especially the "advanced metrics" and file them in the circular where they belong. He's good, a repeat MVP, but his GOAT case likely died on this day.
Nuggets are NOT world champions. They won the USA league last year, the year USA didn't won world championship.
The Nuggets is a team of 1 or 2 good players with a supporting cast that you hope plays well.
It reminds me of a classic 2000s team. I hope we get more of it.
Joker needs to get in a little better shape so he won’t be so gassed
You keep calling players trash like they ain’t son u on the court lol there is no such thing as a trash nba player the last dude in the bench would beat u in 1v1 lol
Walking Garbage Can, that was savage 😂 😂
Jokic is probably already back at his farm and enjoying his family and horses. Big fan of the guy and how he quietly goes to work. There won’t be endless articles and talking heads blaming his teammates and saying he needs more help. Nobody will be saying we should “just appreciate him”. He’ll get none of the myriad excuses that are always in the hopper waiting to be pulled out like Lebronze does. He won’t be cryptically tweeting hour glasses or other passive aggressive nonsense. He won’t be wearing a shirt that says “check my stats”. Nope. None of that.
Nuggets fans value beating Lebalco more than actually winning the title and series lol
Lakers bench was 10x worse than Jokic’s was
Minnesota winning saved ant from a load of slander
Jokic is no great man , point blank period
jokers team robbed im of another championship, the reff were horrible and the league robbed him of his 4th mvp……. people just hate to see a champion that has humiliated lebron.
shame on nuggets bench they messed this up in such a horrible way.
Lets not forget Gobert and Reid in the 4th quarter after Towns got his 5th foul. Offensive rebounds, freethrows, made shots… they brought the game home when it mattered most
All season, I kept saying that this team without Joker is probably not even a play-in team. Joker has to do it all. He even had to bring up the ball at times because Reggie Jackson could not deal with pressure from defenders. Joker has to score, rebound, set picks, anchor the defense and distribute the ball.
I don't know why the Nuggets did not make a move during the season to get some help for the bench. Their bench was pathetic the whole year. I knew they needed help. I knew Murray was injury-prone and would have a hard time in the playoffs. If they had a deeper bench, he would not have had his struggles in the playoffs.
On this channel at the beginning of the season I said the nuggets made a mistake letting 3 key rotational role players go in the offseason and it was gonna come back to bite them in the playoffs I was correct
how dare you calling it trash team….. idiot…….
Jokic did everything possible to try and win that game but his team decided not to show up.
Michael Porter Jr needs to remove the step back and the 3pt shot from his game.
dallas is the 2024 champion
I respected your platform. But you’re sounding like the Lemedia when it come to Jokic. You’re clearly showing your bias smh Hold all players accountable ‼️. That’s what you used to preach
I'm not even gonna watch this video because I know what to expect from this channel but I hope you said something about Jokic subpar performance through the first almost 3 quarters of the game and how he basically gave up down the stretch because he was tired
After 0-2 nobody expected game 7, and after plus 20 nobody expected wolves to come back. It was a great great series and this video and some of comments are just unnecessary. Basketball won.
It is a complete crap!
The only blame for nuggets is porter jr he sucks and is under achieving last year he was horrible against miami and lakers and continued against Minnesota we need a trust worthy number 3 scorer nothing else murry can be a force in the play offs we seen it with joker porter jr is hot garage they shoulve traded him last off season and used some if the money of his contract to resign bruce brown and we would be talking about the nuggets a the favorite to win back to back championships
Aw, give it up fanboy. Your contribution to this team's success was zero. The Nuggets came close, and sometimes your guys just get out played. Just ask this Warriors fan.
Grow up.
Luka to Denver would be nuts
This show is so whiny
All you do is d ride Jokić it’s sad. Pick ya man up chump 😂
You can’t build your team around a lazy fat player that doesn’t play defense. No supporting cast can prop that shit up. Dallas will learn the same lesson.
MPJ OUT
These are the exact same arguments Lebron fans use. When the Nuggets win Jokic gets all the praise but when they lose he has no help and has garbage teammates. 😂
Denver needs another needs a defender. Giannis will be a perfect duo with Jokic.
This video sucks. The Nuggets are not trash and without talent. They just got outplayed. Why such insane hyperbole?
Not comparing Jokic to Jordan because no one has yet reach that level (Kobe was the closet), but Jordan beat the entire Jazz team by himself to win his 6th NBA title. That Bulls team was very flaw but you wouldn't know it because MJ masked so many of its issues. Scotty Pippen's back was very bad that he can barely played. Also, Jokic made a few bad decisions down the stretch in game 7 that didn't help either. He kept shooting threes and missed. When he drive to the basket instead of trying to score and let the refs make the call, he tried to get call and ended up either missing the shot or turned the ball over. And on defense, he didn't do a good job of boxing out and gave up offensive rebounds to the Wolves. Maybe it was due to fatigue or whatever, but Jordan would have willed himself to overcome his fatigue. Jordan played the entire game in Game 6 of his final Chip because he can't afford to rest against the Jazz.
Anyway, the Wolves also know all of the Nuggets tricks because half of Denver's coaching staff are now coaching the Wolves. And I didn't know that Denver's GM also went to the Wolves. Playing against a team that is hungry and they know everything about the strength and weaknesses of every player on your team is a very tough challenge. Jokic did a great job to win three games in a row. And also props to the Wolves for making the shots down the stretch while the Nuggets missed.
