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

ignoring the trolls making this about Embiid, Jokic really is the best in the league right now and he deserves all the awards that indicate that

That Jokic no look is why he is perfect....it was not a show boat play ...it was the best play in that moment and Gordon....is so far beneath Jokic as a player that he didn’t even know it was possible that the ball was coming to him...

It's amazing where Jokic managed to get this team. Anyone not thinking he's the MVP is delusional.

Tis a shame, I thought they’d take it to 6, but 4 fouls on Joker in the 3rd is embarrassing. He literally got no calls on the offensive end and was called for everything on D.

It’s at least 7 when you add 2 of the 3 refs plus the injury gods it’s maybe 1 on infinity symbol

Funneling curry to the basket Jokic was just flat out an awful strategy.

So many have problem with Steph doing the “putting the game to bed” gesture.

He should just do the throating slashing gesture instead, for realGM approval.

Denver's window may very well be closed. Unless they make a trade or something.

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.

Nah, he had a good high energy game overall, but his 4th quarter was abysmal

Huge respect to the Nuggets. They fought like hell.
