[@A.I.-fu5kz]

Malone was upset because he knows after leading with 20 points in game 7 (not in game 3 but 7!!!!) in 3rd quarter, you can´t and shouldn't blow by defending so badly. It was terrible coaching and Malone knows it but he obviously can´t say "I did some terrible coaching", or "I didn´t build a good strategy of defence in the last 5 minutes", ´cause lets be honest, after leading by 20 pts, if you simply defend fiercely, you win! But Malone failed badly. Jamal was great, Jokic MVP style as usual but defence strategy by Malone, actually during the whole of game 7, was a gamble, you can´t win if gambling in defence in game 7, you have to exactly know how you defend but they just gamled and hoped Wolves would not make all shots they tried but they did and won by 8 which is pretty much 2 three point shots and 1 FG. Anyway, sad but I will always be a Nuggets and Jokic + Murray fan and let's hope for a better season next year. I don't think the Nuggets had their last say in the NBA. I always think and I´m actually convinced, the best is yet to come! Thank you, guys!

[@mike_tkgchs]

The narrative is that "denver has so much talent and they should repeat" is complete BS, glad jokic managed to dodged this question while praising minnesota (very well deserved btw, great series)

[@sidekickht]

Nuggets do have an insanely talented team tho😂...mpj is an elite shooter and at 6'10 he's nearly impossible to contest! He's also a solid defender and help rim protector. Gordon is 6'9 with incredible defense and athletic ability. He was lights out from 3 in this series and had to guard one of the best players in the world all game long. He did a hell of a job !!! Kcp was alittle off in this series but he's usually a sniper and great defensively with his ability to switch to any player. Murray is the driving force of the team. He's one of the clutchest player of all time and he's able to score and defend really well!

[@andrewliu111]

Jokic will always have my support. He is still the best player in the league (tied with Giannis), and he is still my MVP. wolves fans better make sure they can win this year. Otherwise they will continue look foolish after all those talking.

[@sidekickht]

Yeah I agree I think a healthy Giannis is slightly better though due to the rare ability to dominate completely. By that I mean he can shut down a team with his defense and then make a whole team focus on trying to stop him offensively ans still score at a high efficiency on 2 or 3 players.

[@herbb8547]

Two great teams. Went down to the last quarter of game 7. Outstanding play by both teams during the series. Wish every series was this good.

[@comradeyellow6781]

Why people keep saying "he don't care", he obviously does, that's just his personality. He cared, and he tried his best every game. And he must be furious at his teammates for the way they generally played not only in this series but in the Lakers one too.

[@Gennaadi]

Jokic is like atlas careying this team both offensively and defensively, cant imagine denver without him, true mvp and everyone who watches ovjectively sees that, every other team has someone else. To consistantly carry a tram without injuries, amazing.

[@Yabas00]

They would be 11th seed at best without him

[@sidekickht]

Worst take ive ever seen😂😂...DEFENSIVELY?!?!? ARE YOU BLIND ?! The mf got cooked every game in this series !! They exposed his lack of defense and he even openly admitted it !! When asked about defending ant man he said " I'm looking for help the whole time, and he just seems to always get past me"...LOOK IT UP! His lack of defense is the biggest reason they lost.

You can’t not like this guy. Inspiring dude, even in defeat he holds himself with class. Nuggets lost this series by the 2nd game. Jokic kept it all alive. His Game 5 3rd Quarter performance is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen. To go down to the Wolves like this, he’s the Peoples Champion.

[@sidekickht]

His defense and inconsistent play is the sole reason they lost. All series long the wolves coach instructed his guys to attack joker...and it worked soooo well! Jokic allowed Easy buckets over and over again. Game 2 I remember he allowed a record high of 60 pts to be scored while he was the main defender ! Inexcusable
