They were down by like 6 with 20 sec and just stopped trying. It was kinda weird.

Anyone blaming Jokic is a fool. Dude is the best player in the league by a mile even considering the favorable calls he got this series

This is a garbage Fox sports take

It's not even good enough to be called garbage.

There will be no rationality here.

Basketball is 1v1 not 5v5. Jokic choked and overrated.


You are trying to make a point but you are using his stats to make it? The shooting % for Jokic was poor.

If they're willing to add in another 2 more 1st rounders, I'll give them Yak :wink:

Minny showed a lot of composure after those blatant missed calls. The foul on Ant and the jump ball that should have been a timeout for minny. Heck even Goberts 6th foul looked questionable. They handled it though
Congrats to them.

I said Denver had an easy path in last years playoffs. While I do respect them more now, they never had a team like this last year. (yes they faced the Wolves but Reid and McDaniels missed the series)

When Gobert hit that fadeaway you know Minnesota was destined to win

AWESOME for the Celtics with the biggest threat out of the way. Mavs and Wolves will get out shot, or locked up.

Jokic gave it his all. 47 minutes. Nuggets was a two man show. Wolves played as a team and won.

Through Kobe, Lebron, and now Jokic,

I've learned not to take the GOAT talk seriously. It's dumb and just an example
of living in the moment.

When the next GOAT comes along, we'll know right away because
that person will be different

What do Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky have in common?

They were all outliers. They don't come along every ten years like realgm
pretends they do.
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

This coming from a Celtics fan. Your roster other than Holiday who has 1 ring has won nothing.


I don’t remember ever mentioning the Celtics or anything regarding my team.

When you have any other thing to say about your 35 years of pure comedy and cliching the title “We beat the Nuggets”. Then we talk.

Tough game altogether. Minnesota's complimentary players and bench showed up while Denver's had a tough night. Fans are part of the issue to as too many times, they just credit teams wins to the star(s) and forget that teams still win.

Denver actually did pretty well on their field defense, but gave up too many FT's, great game altogether, tough one.
