Someone here really said Kawhi will be the best player of this series over Jokic

They did that two years ago and came away with a championship from it. Then they let players like Bruce Brown and KCP all walk and it hasn’t been the same since then.

There’s certain posters here on RGM that assured me Jokic has lots of help

Jokic has 25 points and his team has 60+ points so someone is helping him.

I think that was the only three the Nuggets have taken this quarter, genuinely insane.

Denver losing despite Mpj Westbrook and Murray shooting 6/23. Jokic needs to step up his game.

Really makes you wonder...

Because they don’t have the angles that we do. It’s insane that Adam Silver is so cheap and won’t have there be another ref instead of just 3 on the court.


It happened right in front of him. I'd argue he had the best possible angle.

You literally just need a player who can stand there and be guarded so he can pass the ball to Jokic. Opponents know this, don't guard him, he shoots, he misses, wash, rinse, repeat, Jokic doesn't touch the ball.

Malone didnt set up the condituons under witch Westbrook is alowed to play and now the Nuggets need to deal with the consequences. If Malone benched WB every time he made a dumb mistake and used him as an energy guy off the bench, he could have been a productive piece.

This is how certain posters on RGM legitimately post about Jokic

Joker’s going to have to go on an absolute tear in the 4th for them to have a chance. His teammates are literally chucking up bricks and air balls. Where is MPJ ? Dont think ive seen him since he hit that 3 early.
