Unbelievable that Joker can't buy a 3 but the Nuggets are still 42.4% as a team. Only reason they're still in this.

Chet really gotta hit the weight room man. He loses the ball and smokes shots at the rim with the slightest touch. Not a good half.

He is an idiot. He has talking points and doesn't call the game.


Dude is still using the same corny/lame catchphrases that he was using in 1992.

I swear people hate basketball. They just watch to **** on play x when they have a bad game. Then when player x has a good game they are nowhere to be found. It’s pathetic.


Relax man. He's my favourite player to watch in the league. It's okay to call him out on a bad performance.

They are trashing him. No one cares if you call a bad game bad.

This has been such a great game...so tense. As a Wolves fan, I hope Nuggets can pull this out

I wonder if Derrick Fisher knew Larsa Pippen back in the day?

I’m starting to question the Thunders coach the more I’ve seen of him the last two playoffs. He needs to do well this playoff run or he could get fired in the next year.

Interesting challenge
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

This feels like the type of game Jokic hits a gamewinner. Give a slight edge to the Nuggets in a tight game like this.

Think they were something like 5-6 vs remaining Western Conference teams this season...2-2 vs Nuggets, 2-2 vs Wolves, 1-2 vs Warriors
