We'd all be saying I bet Draymond is sitting somewhere with a big smile on face tonight.

Good timing by TNT.

This is TNT's last hurrah. They are going out with a bang. :lol:

They should have Gilbert Arenas (and who else, Stephen Jackson) as guests next when the Nuggets clinch the series win.

2nd game in a row the Nuggets bench outplayed the TWolves. This was somewhat expected considering that NAW was moved to the starting lineup. Naz Reid getting only 7 points was probably deflating.

Is Chris Haynes the male Doris Burke? Can we stop putting this guy on tv?

even Ant was calling Jokic the best player in the league....people don't want the 3x/4x MVP to be the face of the NBA for some reason.

For some reason? It's obvious that a white European that plays below the rim isn't going to sell in America. The NBA is a business

Games 1 and 2 was not "every night"

If I were to rate Jokic's top 5 performances of his career, this one would go in the top 5. He basically played as close to perfection as possible.

Unfortunately for the TWolves, it happened against them.

Game 1: 32, 8, 9

Game 2: Still had 16, 16, and 8--Wolves just went nuclear.

Jokic does this ALL THE TIME.

I thought Gobert did well. Not much more he can do. Jokic is just on another level. I think people just love hating on him.
I'm impressed by Braun's play in this series. He stepped up when the team needed him. I guess Denver really had their Brown replacement all along.

Why do you have to do Doris like that?

But seriously, someone needs to study how Damian Lillard was able to make Chris Haynes a thing.

Love Edwards. Tell me again how he is weak.

The NBA voters are trying to protect Jordan's legacy.

They weren't going to let Jokic win 4 straight MVPs. At that point, he would be up there with Jordan.

These are same people who went out of their way to block Lebron from winning more MVPs than he actually won.

You're not going to be up there with Jordan with only one Larry O'Brien. Denver needs more chips.

3 rings and he’s past all the bigs. Anything more, he’s aiming for LeBron’s spot.

Past Russell(11 rings) and Kareem(6 rings and 6 MVPs)? I'm on board the Jokic train - he's the best player in basketball the last couple years IMO, he's incredible - but getting past Russell and Kareem is tough.

Also, these Jordan conspiracy theories are ridiculous.

If Denver wins again, will teams finally adjust their rosters to counter Jokic? Or will they keep doing the same thing?

What's the counter?

Get Jokic 2.0?

Conley has to suit up for game 6 even if it means a possible achilles tear. Hes 37 in his 16th season not a given they have a better shot and he does ever at a ring again.

You got to attack him on defense with a physical center.
