I do not know if it's that GSW is that good or if thar Joker is basically playing 1 on 5.

Warriors are definitely good but hard to tell how good because of that. Its a miracle Jokic even won one game and had two competitive ones.

The Warriors have been up and down throughout the season. If they had difficultly with Joker alone, how will they look against better teams. So I rather judge them against those teams.

Nuggets dont need to make any crazy moves in the offseason, but i think they could get a defensive all star for MPJ + Barton combo in a trade.

Yeah, the way he personally injured his 2nd and 3rd best player and was forced to rely on Barton... yeah, he's the worst.

FYI Malone is actually underrated.

I love the reunion of Malone and Cousins on the Nuggets, with Cousins as Jokic's backup. Hope it sticks.
Cousins peak in Sacramento was basically like an 85% Jokic, actually, so there's something kind of perfect about it all

Disregard the injuries. Just look at the strategy. I've been following the nuggets closely for the last three years.

Just isolate his in-game decisions. Tonight funneling Curry to the basket/Jokic with Gordon guarding him was terrible. And not having another three point shooter out there late was pretty bad too.

A couple of years ago it was riding Gary Harris way to long when he had been on an awful shooting slump. Not going small with Murray and Morris.

He won't get Denver to where they want to go.

Jokic only won one game more than KD but the narrative so damn different....give Jokic the nets minus KD and they favorites in playoffs

Jokic next to a Siakam would be nasty. Too bad it’ll never happen. Would be beautiful

Bones should get better next year. He did good as a rookie. Had a rough game, but that’s expected.

honestly, the nuggets just need good role players. what they have doesnt fit, they need 3 n d guys

They need another scorer a 2nd guy to . Defensivley they are wreck I don’t think Malone the coach to take them there defensively . Aaron gordon is 2nd option your in trouble . Again Jamal gotta come back to play off bubble mode or this team 2nd exit at best

Sucks that Nuggets scored fewest points in the final Q. Sure MPJ and Murray would not have helped with the D, but they surely would have helped with the O. Nuggets were down 12 points in the 4TH Q and lost the game by 4, scoring only 98. It's when you have full firepower on O that you have some more wiggle room on D. When you are short on O, you have to be near perfect on D, and that pressure vs. a high powered team like GSW is so tough.

Hopefully Nuggets are fully healthy next season.

Jokic is incredible.

If they not sure that supporting cast gonna come back healthy they gotta get busy building around him... people yelling about building around 23 year old Luka...Jokic 26 right...so even more so does Denver owe Jokic a healthy great supporting cast ASAP

He effectively neutered our smallball offense tonight... thats what he is, a defensive coach. He's done a fine job with bad circumstances. And he also crafted OUR defense, a defense that we still use to this day. He's pretty good.. but yeah, I hope he gets fired and we can bring him back

He is wrong because everyone knows Mike Brown runs the rotations on the Warriors.

Yeah that was the game right there. He had to shoot it, how could you not close out?

Overall Jeff Green had 2 points, was a -13 and played 29 minutes. Disappointing because most of Nuggets media was in agreement that this wasn't a series for him and he should be benched in favor of someone like Naji.

Closed? You do know Murray is 25 and Porter is like 22. Unless they are crippled(although who knows with Porter) the window is not closed

Hats off to the Joker, wish he won it today.

He went down swinging like I knew he would.

Respect.
