Jokic showed why hes the GOAT right now against zesty dude and french guy 💪🔥

Jokic embarrassed french dude, french dude defensive player of the year 😂

He’s not the GOAT but he may just be the most dominant player in the league right now

You aren't guarding. You big guys want to be guards.

You know basketball I can tell by this comment that’s exactly it the power forward & center anchor the defense, but they have guard mindsets ??

@@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449 correct. that’s what’s killing them. They need a paint presence.

​@frazier2420able Exactly 💯. If Karl Anthony towns actually played his position correctly, he'd be incredible. But instead he's playing like a guard, to the point where he almost hurt himself. The position less era has to go. It's unsafe and ugly to watch

Is that why he was the only one with 20+ points for game 5? Everyone is at fault. Horrible turnovers, Kyle Anderson just throwing the ball to the nuggets, Edwards had bad turnovers and only 18pts. Inconsistent play on everyone. At least Kat got 20pts. Naz can't be playing only 20 mins.

Yes

[@haljt681]

Gobert hizo su trabajo, lo que pasa es que Jokic es demasiado bueno, encesto muchas canastas bien defendidas. Los americanos tenéis que culpar a los extranjeros, pero hoy edwards ha jugado bastante mal, mucho peor que Gobert.

[@KennyonBrown]

Fr tho 🤦🏽‍♂️ When i seen them rushing to the rim with no thought and charging, i knew the downhill run was coming. Then the wide open shots was the dagger lol. Couldnt afford to beat ourselves while getting whooped on both ends by Denver. Just needed to stay in it. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@andrewgiegerich8211]

Yea one of them should have been challenged though but regardless they were reckless and it back fired they need to play with the same aggression just Smart they can beat nuggets at the free throw line

Nuggets paste very well with plays while timberwolves rush with shots, they getting outplayed an bullied with strength and being out hustled, MVP is dominating the best defensive Man in the league Rudy so what that tell U. Nuggets in 6 it’s ova

[@tylerthomas6235]

Just gone have to be Wolve in 7. Win 2 in a row like you did before. Naz Reid should be playing more than Gobert. Kat should guard Jovic. Reid should guard AG. Ant needs to turn up again if it’s over

[@arnecruz]

KAT has no answer. We gotta do this, we gotta do that. The Nuggets are rolling. And the Wolves have no answer.

[@julsc2106]

As a nuggets fan i hope Minnesota signs towns to a 10 year deal lol hes one of the most overrated players in the NBA

[@uniphied3]

As a Nuggets' fan, I give props to Kat for playing hard through the pain. He was the best Wolf on the floor last night.

Ant has been punishing double and triple teams for the last 2 months. He's come a long way this season in this regard. I think dealing with the lack of a point guard hurt him more than anything else.

Them bigs too d*** soft tryna be pretty boys flopping and s***. Need somebody like shaq, aaron gordon, or jokic that's not scared to dunk, defend, or push through contact. There's no way you should be 6'5 or taller and playing like you scared to get a bucket in the paint or defend in the paint. Waste of height, should have given it to me atp 😂. Promise you i'm going in the paint every chance I get at that height. Our toughest big on the roster is Naz Reid.
