Jokic complained a lot while winning if they have a rough year he's gonna wear the refs out lol. On that Chet dunk he ran to the ref instead of running w/ Chet. He was literally complaining in the middle of offensive possesions

[@sakariajama1362]

What happened to murray though? He's a completely different player. 😔

[@ISE123]

Can‘t wait for these experts to explain how OKC really isn’t that good after getting swept by the Mavs.

Mugs talking heavy with the season to only be 3 games in Denver will be just fine

[@BrokeRichAnt7]

Stephen A. Almost Always HATING ON LUKA.....Gosh!

[@Herbalizer28]

The first mistake Denver did was let Bruce Brown go..the KCP..

[@jonathanmuldrow8458]

I aint gonna lie, I thought Chet was gonna be a bust cus of how skinny he was and still is but he's gonna be great, and y'all said Shai 'Free Throws all Day' Gilgeous Alexander had no help 🙄

[@jonathanriojas2177]

:44 seconds What was THAT look Stephen A!? Lol

[@sunshinehwy]

LeJokic needs to run and superteam with West All-Stars

[@Galvanjackie]

1 game already jumping to conclusions 😂

[@madboyreadynow28]

This is why I don’t watch ESPN. The season just started. There is no reason to be concerned about any team. Everything is always negative and that’s $ is a turn off.
