This is what happens when the media disrespects the Nuggets for 72 hours, Nuggets needed this win.

[@bmsuperstar1]

No, it's what happens with impartial refereeing. The Wolves don't look like "best defensive team ever" without the refs allowing them to go wild, and simultaneously punishing Nuggets for even trying to fight back against that.

[@feryadmezori8171]

How did nuggets get 72 hours off

[@ggflo12]

​@@bmsuperstar1petty fans. Always crying about the ref when your best player already admitted they came out flat.

[@andersanderson4234]

What? They actually do their jobs when they get criticized?

[@bmsuperstar1]

@@ggflo12 That's telling when it comes to his principles. He won't blame the refs because he's not LeBum James. We, as impartial reviewers, have a say in what's up with the refereeing. I'm neither a Wolves fan, nor a Nuggets fan. I have my own club that's greater than both of those. Club culture isn't as strong in the US compared to the countries like Serbia and Greece. There's more of a player culture in the US.

[@calebstephan2083]

Dont forget how good jokic was on defense. Outplayed the so called best defense in the nba. Got 3 steals and 3 blocks with 14 rebounds

[@trentskyyyy]

whoa he outplayed RUDY GOBERT on defense for one game, since we're using single games, rudy had 1 steals 3 blocks 13 rebounds game 1, held ur mvp to 44% FG, then game 2 when rudy didn't play, jokic couldn't take initiative and lead his team to a tie serieis, shooting even worse vs a team without their paint defender
