All that matters is Jokic getting this triple double bratha.

Death, taxes, Jokic box score bratha.

Expected more out of Denver, even without Gordon.

Murray is so overrated. He’s just a high level heater player. Not a real #2. He’s basically an ALDI knockoff version of Klay Thompson

Even so, he’s never going to demand a trade.

Honestly, this is often what teams with poor depth look like in a game 7 after a grueling series. Denver was like this last year too in the second half against Minnesota. Both the Warriors and Lakers (both with no real depth) just kind of died in their last game. I remember the mid-2000s Suns with their 6-man rotations just running out of gas in the conference finals.

Thunder go 10 deep, Nuggets for 7 deep and have 2 injured starters. What do you expect?


I've pointed this out before but this game reminds of 2014 Dal vs SA, 2008 Hou vs LA and 2006 LA vs Phoenix.

All those G7 ended in massive blowout s because the talent is just too low.

Nah what's dumb is people praising Jokic as if he accomplished something while getting blown out.

The attention should be on SGA the real MVP. Jokic has been eliminated the last 2 years. I'm tired of praising MVPs who don't get the job done in the playoffs.

SGA is HIM!


Charlotte fan saying Jokic hasn’t accomplished anything is pure comedy.

Weird post.

Jokic is the best player in the world. Nothing has changed, I just hold him accountable since he has that title. You don't get praise when you lose.

Nah, they forced a Game 7 on pure effort alone. This is actually impressive, especially from Jokic, the best player in the world.

Sorry, not an ALDI slam. Las Vegas is getting ALDIs here this summer, two spots, one by us and I love it…. But it’s not Trader Joe’s quality.
