I don’t think I’ve ever seen the nuggets with this core have their back against the wall like this. I am absolutely shocked. Ant has outplayed Jokic too. Bravo Timberwolves

Came out the gates swinging down 0-2 heading into enemy territory is definitely not where anybody saw the series going. I knew that this Wolves team was gonna be trouble but I didn't think they'd get embarrassed like this.

Lot of Minnesota Lakers in the comments 😂

Bro was too invested in the Kentucky Derby

I'll never understand reporters asking "whats your confidence in coming back" mf he on the team.. watchu think?! Yea he thinks he can come back. Reporters continue to ask losing teams this question, and its such a stupid question every time. YES, HE THINKS HIS TEAM CAN COME BACK, HE PLAYS FOR THE TEAM HE BELIEVES IN HIS TEAM

If Jamal can't get going, its going to be a short series.

Everyone acting tough when they up

The refs let the Nuggets get away with too many frustration fouls... luckily the Wolves kept their composure

Because of his humbleness..he is the only person in their team thay I respect..

Yeah when he saying hopefully, they are getting swept

my man needs his summer break xD its been long ass couple of seasons.. we need to chill a bit and let FO cook us some decent backup role players

"Hopefully," that's not the word you want to hear from a competitor at any level of sports.

Bad thing about having overconfidence in a team, are the shadows and what teams lurk there.

Showing support to Warriors coaching staff that past. I see you Jokic

i believe they will bounce back

I’m happy for you Jovic ! You’ll have more time to spend with your horses

"Jokic got JUKED! !"" :D

''ANT MAN STOPPED THE JOKER! . . . NO JOKE!! . ."" :D

Game 1 was competitive. Game 2 was uncharacteristic. Emotions boiling over because they’ve met their match and it led to a blow out. Strange.

-DEFENCE-. Absolutely true. This game should be a lesson how you play DEFENCE- for the new generations to come in the game of basketball. With all respect to Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray... and others, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid, Alexander-Walker, Jaden Daniels,Kyle Anderson, Rudi Gobber, Mike Conley are in the different level- much higher level- completely shutting down sloppy and sleepy Nikola Jokic

Everyone is hating on this man for what?

Jokuc is carrying his team man give him props

They’re not going to get faster in 4 days. And the crowd in Minnesota is going to be nuts

"Peace has cost us our strength, victory has defeated us." - Joker

Am Absolutely sure this isn't Over, it seems like it is but Nuggets win the Next Game, we shall see a different Story, if of was 3 up that would be harder but 2, isn't a its over, its always Hard to simply get over Champions

Did.....did the wolves break the Joker? Holy shit I think they broke him!

I said nuggets in 7 after game 2, I was wrong nuggets in 6

That hopefully sounds so hopeless...

As hardcore Nuggets fan I have to admit...the Wolves are better on all accounts Offense, Defense and depth of the bank. If they continue like in this game ,they go through every opponent in their wake....easily.

It's very exciting to watch instead of Lakers, Minnesota is way better..

🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Gobert didn't play ..let that sink in

The sooner the season ends the sooner i can go be with my horses

The biggest loss for Denver was losing their GM to the wolves he built the team to a chip and is doing the same thing for Minnesota

Imagine if Bron brought this sad depressed energy to his press conferences. Jokic constantly gets a pass for being ugly.

It's over

The post All Star officiating change was perfect, beautiful and crucial for Minnesota this season, lets pray for a Boston Minnesota finals

This is what they get for playing in slides against the lakers

Legends dont "hope".

You all do not understand this man and Murray are playing injured.

Respectfully the nuggets struggled with the lakers other than the 3rd quarter. And the Timberwolves are a way better constructed team than the lakers so I don’t necessarily know how anyone thought the nuggets would easily win this series. They may not even get over 1 or 2 wins.

Two man game ain’t working. Run something else, the offense has been stagnant since the playoffs started.

The only things he cares about are his horses and triple doubles

Hopefully?

This is the problem with the nuggets, their star player doesnt give a shit wether they win or lose he just wants to go back home to serbia and take his paycheck (no disrespect to jok) so they dont have the drive to come back and win the series, I can see them winning one or two but our team hasnt made it to the west finals since 2004 and our team just got that higher purpose

This aint a 7th or 8th seed man

“Hopefully”😂😂😂😂

Only ppl shocked are nuggets fans. .. ..

It's LeOVER, used all the luck and refs on lakers. lmao SWEEP

They didn’t expect this they embarrassed

This series is done

Yeah, Jokic should not be saying "Hopefully" the series is over, Wolves getting the brooms out.

Not looking like a good matchup for Denver so far they’re getting bullied bad a lot of it looks mental so Minnesota in 5 imo I honestly thought it would be the other way around

Jokic doesn’t care about the game and it’s showing this series. It was all funny when they won the championship

Joker is going to cut his body fat and build more muscle to come back next season better than ever

This who y’all love tho 😂

Phone jack broke

The Timberwolves took the 2020 Lakers blueprint and it’s working

Good to see that sad look on joker face

Joker brother is time to do something😅

This year Nuggets are different team! Murray, Pope, Gordon, are not the same players from the last year! Not a lot of help from the bench, Christian Braun terrible!

You guys can point to the defense of Minn all you want and that’s cool. They deserve credit for their reputation. The last game of the regular season between these 2 is more like what Denver is capable of playing. This team looks nothing like that. Denver is beating themselves more than Minn is beating them. It starts with Murray. Trying to play thru something he’s not capable of doing. He’s throwing all of our offense off, causing all kinds of mismatches on defense, and being an emotional distraction. Yes there was a lot of fouls that should have been called our way that didn’t in G2 (you can’t be that physical and not foul) but you can’t let that define the game. The clip of the heat pack sliding on the floor, I’m not even watching that play, I’m watching how fucking lazy MPJ and Jokic were being, allowing a wrap around bounce back to Slo Motion who gets on easy shot. I turned it off when Gordon tried this no look between the legs behind you bounce pass to MPJ that bounced over his head in the 4th. Denver is making a lot of bad decisions on there own. Yes there defense is making an impact on certain aspects of our game but we’re just not hustling, playing scared, and making bad decisions. We’re being very mentally weak. Jokic obviously has to play better and has done so for nearly his entire career when having to carry the team that’s under performing/hurt. Everybody going into the playoffs believed Denver was still the favorites. The reason for that is because Rudy has never been able to stop Jokic primarily because he’s not a threat on offense…in fact some of his career games have come against Rudy w/ his last 3 games of the regular season going 41 35 & 32, KAT has been mid tier in the league for most of his career & becomes a shooter under pressure and forces bad shots + gets into foul trouble, ANT is great he proved it last year but doesn’t have a reliable #2 and doesn’t have the offensive firepower that Denver does. Conley is an aging vet who is undersized against us. NAW is a journeyman w/ no real success. Jaden is great defense & all but not helping offensively. Naz is great for additional size but a short center who still hasn’t had any success against Jokic. G1 was 7pts…after watching Murray shoot like a bitch again & Naz banking in a deep 3 + Rudy banking in an ugly elbow jumper…they aren’t getting that to drop again so there’s a 5 point swing not to mention however many Murray should have made that’s an easy 6-10pt win for Denver. G2 was just a disaster on all accounts for us. I don’t care how good their defense is, they can’t keep us down like that again. Thanks to all the talking heads and media hype, everybody is bought into the juice that Minn has right now. I get it, we’ve allowed them to do whatever they want. We’ve come back to win from 3-1 in series multiple playoffs. Bouncing back from 2-0 is very much doable.

Joker 🃏 EXPOSED !!! NOT 🚫 A Hall Of Famer !!! One and Done 🏆

Betting favs never win 😂 its that easy

Bro just wants to go home to his horses

Hopefully? Yeah we are getting swept

Denver went to a basketball game and found out the other guys were playing rugby. Nice work if you can get it.

He said hopefully smh damn ya really won last year and your hopeful defending champs where?

Denver is going to win game 3

This is y’all MVP? Dude can’t score with volume, turns the ball over a lot, and is the worst defender on the court 😂😂😂

Hard defence and they cant do nothing

Nobody believed. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Jokic needs a better point guard who is calm and composed rather than the overrated jamal murray who dribbles too much and chucks up a lot of bad shots.

Hopefully, they get swept.

This guy's car conditioning is poor. Hurting his team

Denver shot like shit so everything's possible 🤷🏼‍♂️

I bet he doesnt care and wants to go back horseracing

COOKED NUGGETS

Why are we are not talking about Chokic being exposed?🤨 One of the worst playoff performances in the history of the NBA that I’ve ever seen. Complete choke job from a supposed “3 time MVP” Absolute JOKE

The act is over.

Go horsies go!! Dude never care..1,2,3 Kentucky

Defense

It ain’t easy going back to back winning back to back fmvp is it? 🤣🤣🤣

Chicken nuggets are done

Wolves in 4 or 5. Bye bye Denver

Nuggets lack any real depth.

That he managed to win a championship with this shitty roster is to be admired And Denver did nothing to strengthen their team for this season

“You’re not purposely losing so you can get back to the horses, are you?” We need real reporters.. same dumb questions come on..

New meaning of "Joker" lol, T wolves sweep

Antman owns jockitch

Jokic has played like complete sh-t. So maybe he can put up a fight. Followed the league for 50 years in a number of NBA cities and never seen a defending champion lay down and be so pathetic in a game they needed to win at home. Never before. That may be the most shocking playoff outcome I've ever seen. Someone clearly wants to get back to his horses. The 'I'm not really that interested in hoops' take is charming when you win a chip. Not so much when you get your ass handed to you.

Everybody here is hating on Jokic, but nobody is talking about how abysmal Jamal Murray has been in the playoffs this season - 37.5 FG% is disastrously bad! He is the most overrated player in this league. And yet Mike Malone continues to rely on this useless player. These American coaches are too soft. I used to watch European football; they have the most competitive leagues there. In Europe, if a star player isn't performing, he gets benched. But American coaches don't want to hurt their players' egos. Don't be fooled by Murray's game-winners against the Lakers. If he actually played well, the Nuggets wouldn't be in a position to have to hit game-winners in the first place. He's being exposed this postseason for the average player he is. There is a reason he isn't an All-Star. If I were Mike Malone, I would bench Murray for the remainder of the series in favor of Justin Holiday, and look to Julian Strawther or even Hunter Tyson for some inspiration from the bench. I know it sounds absurd but Murray is a liability for this Nuggets team - he's selfish and takes too many shots (but can't make 'em).

But joker the goat 😂😂😂😂 they said they were unbeatable and joker is the best player in the world and Europeans are taking over the world 😂 hilarious

Overrated. Does not deserved 3rd MVP this season if 2nd round exit. Bird, Magic and Jokic, who does not belong in the three? Yes all 3 are 3 time MVP, but only Jokic has one championship.

Fraud alert

Jokic has one bad game and all the sudden he’s overrated. NBA fans are so weird bro.
