At least half of Nuggets roster should be in G league...
They dont have a player that would be starter on other contenders outside of Jokic....
Lucky for the Nuggets Jokic is not part of Clutch Sports...

He’ll still dance. And chew his mouth-guard nonstop. It’s what he does.

The 15th man saved Warriors… he has been great all season long, with enough minutes he should be considered in all defensive team

Aaron Gordon played super hard this game. He had some mistakes at the end but his aggressive offense in the first half, strong defensive effort on Curry and others, and offensive rebounding against the small Warriors lineups are one of the things that had them in this game. He's not a number two option and there are things he'll be reliving when he tries to sleep later, but he shouldn't be ashamed: he left it out there against a good team.

Hell of a season but there’s only so much one man can do. Hopefully Jamal and MPJ comes back ready to go with the Joker next season

i feel like a better defensive roster than denver should be able to look into this game and see ways they can exploit draymond

essentially every possesion that ends with draymond spotting up or with the ball in his hands but no one open to pass is a huge win

Nuggets made it fun when they had no business doing that.. goes to show just how great Jokic is. A top 3 team in the West, at minimum, when their full squad is back

Monte Morris was pretty solid too. Barton.. well, I dont think he should start on a good team. Gordon getting tons of hate but he's supposed to be the 4th option at best. And if they can keep both Greens, good on them too. Lots to build on there

Looking forward to round 2, hopefully against Ja.. I need to see one of those dunks live

Not play for GSW? They sure get a lot of breaks and perks from the refs.

They’d be redundant on offense and liabilities on defense. It’s not a great pairing.


If you really want to be unfair. How about this unfair Euro combo Jokic and Giannis.

That's like saying the bulls window closed after they lost to the pistons. Their window is just opening.

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


I thought it was putting the Nuggets to sleep, as in the series is over.

Either way can you get that man a Snickers?

Maybe a steak?

His mouthpiece will soon be in two pieces.

If I were Denver, I'd try to trade Porter + pick to some lottery pick this next draft... not sure if any team would fall for that, though.
