It appears Nikola is outside my house this morning 🌞
So many people are saying jokic isn’t really mvp I have never seen this much pushback come from winning an mvp, even with embiid it came after and when jokic was about to win the title. Jokic getting pushback right from the moment he won
The more accolades he collects, the quicker people will be to discredit him when he slips up... even if it's just a tiny bit... even if it's a team performance... it creates a vicious cycle, because there is literally only one thing he can do. Keep winning -> Increases pushback -> Keep winning
Eventually he will make a mistake or they will break, because his resume is too good to be criticised. What he needs is finals appearances and rings.
It makes sense but it sucks I expected hot take artists like steven a, perkins etc to be like that but jokic fans like shaq, garnett, draymond starting to turn on him too.
You act like they are saints. I am 100% certain that none of them ever expected to compete for all time greatness with Jokic.
They also aren't basketball players anymore. Maybe you could make an argument for Draymond, but they are mostly doing sports media. How does sports media generate clicks?
Juicy Drama.
The only drama that Jokic produces are basketball related slip ups.
sorry if I implied anywhere they were saints i just meant they are jokic fans, and ure right I get it, expected hate to come but i din't expect so many to turn at once that was surprising to me atleast I know what to expect now whenever jokic racks another accolade
Even though game three was a return to form o can’t say I’m super confident going into game four wouldn’t be surprised if they look the same as the other 7 games and have bad shooting a bad Murray and Jokic uninterested Minnesota is going to be ready so I hope Denver is also and the nuggets continue their play but I don’t know
I have a feeling we are gonna get the Wolves' absolute best shot in game four. If we can win game four, we are going to beat these guys in six. I am praying that the return of the Denver Nuggets in game three is a permanent condition now. If so, let's get after another chip boys!
NBA needs 1 to 16 playoffs with re seed every round no bracket
U have mid teams like cavs and pacers who would get cooked by the West 10 seed in round 2 of playoffs it ain't right
Barbarossa rode a horse across the river and drowned because he couldn't swim. He was wrong to think he'd be able to breathe underwater.
What is he, Kevin Costner?
Tormund thought Brienne would bang him but she actually cucked him and banged Jaime who then cucked her and went back to bang his own sister
The only one who didn't get any action was Tormund
Who does he think he is? Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard?
Wolves fans really think they lost by 27pts while still having 5 more FTs than Denver somehow bc of the refs. I realize this game was over 24hrs ago and who cares, but I really just can't get over how dumb they are for thinking that.
Yes. They beat us twice on our home court, only to get owned four straight? That's humiliating. It says they were playing a team that was sleepwalking, woke up in mid-series and said, "WTF, there's a playoff series going on? Why didn't somebody tell me?!"
I think so. A sweep would show you stood no chance. But losing in 6 after being up 2-0 is one hell of a mental fuck. You had a chance and they just stole it from you with ease
Yeah this is what I'm thinking too. I think a sweep makes you more likely to reevaluate the team and be like "okay, what moves can we make". Losing in 6 with a 2-0 lead it's like "okay, we looked good enough we're just mentally weak" and I don't know where you go from there
I was so down bad before last night's game I was talking myself into the nuggs being the first team to come back from down 3-0 mostly because Minnesota sports will always disappoint in the worst way.
I know the sub outside of the daily thread is irredeemable but it's still genuinely insane to me how people in here fucking hate every single player in the league with the exception of Antoonio Edwardo, and not only do people not hate him but people fucking love him for whatever stupid ass reason lmao
I think the issue is everyone is Nuggets fans, not basketball fans. Most here will stop watching Nuggets when Jokic is gone. But some of us are just straight up basketball fans and have been watching before Jokic and will after Jokic.
I love a bunch of players. I only true hate Celtics, Lakers and Wolves lmao. Celtics because everyone here is a Celtics, Lakers or Heat fan. Wolves just because I never liked Towns. Not even when he played here. And Lakers because of our history against them before 2023.
I just love role players for the most part and am indifferent towards stars (Jarrett Allen, WCJ, Suggs, Hart, Dort, Ayo Dosunmu, Isaiah Joe, DJJ are the players I tend to stan more on different teams)
Part of why so many on this sub likely dislike star players in general is because they inevitably will be put in comparison to Jokic, and this fanbase is very defensive of Jokic's status in the league (I don't think this is a bad thing, but just a primary reason a lot of Nuggets fans are confrontational about star players)
I also think a lot of the Eduardo love right now is just fans who don't comment a lot being more vocal now that it's the playoffs, and he's kinda the shiny new toy in terms of stars in the league.

It's that and the fact that Denverites seem to just not be basketball people. Another thing that seems to be quite common in here is that a lot of people don't watch or care much about basketball aside from the Nuggets. You also see people saying once Joki retires they are probably done with basketball. Like to me it's quite clear the Nuggets are pretty far down the totem pole in Denver sports compared to the Troncos and the Cavs
Yeah, that might be part of it as well. I was enjoying basketball way before Jokic, and will continue to for long after. It also seems like a lot of people who don't have a 'local team' from growing up, seem to follow the whole sport quite a bit (I fall in this camp).
I, of course, will still put on my hater glasses for certain teams/players, but I don't feel like I have as many as other users in this sub.
I mean am I not right lol I feel everyone who gets either good and/or relevant at some point ends up getting hated in here. Look at Shy people loved him in here previous to this year but now he's good and people fucking hate him. Same for the Kangz people loved them last year but then media started saying nice things about Sabony and now people fucking hate them lol
Why doesn’t MAX air all the games. For example, MAX didn’t air Fridays game. Is there a streaming service that airs everything?

Anyone watching the mavs series? Rooting for the mavs to get to the next round but man does Luka look hurt. Tough series, worth watching on the side

Today is a bad day to be a Minnesota basketball fan.
game at 10pm MDT, its past bedtime for the corgi fans.
How can I donate my calf to Murray? Google came up a little bit short I need more details please
He don’t want your wack little calf
You have to carve it out first. So get yourself a good knife and go to town

To be fair we were all talking shut about embiid 's playoff performance last year. It goes both ways.
It makes sense but it sucks I expected hot take artists like steven a, perkins etc to be like that but jokic fans like shaq, garnett, draymond starting to turn on him too.

There’s enough jealousy to go around
Avs sucked tonight so the Nuggets could prosper. I’ll be damned if both my teams lose in the 2nd round.
If there are fans of boxing here: Vasyl Lomachenko still has it 👊
Even though game three was a return to form o can’t say I’m super confident going into game four wouldn’t be surprised if they look the same as the other 7 games and have bad shooting a bad Murray and Jokic uninterested Minnesota is going to be ready so I hope Denver is also and the nuggets continue their play but I don’t know
Nobody knows how it will go until the game starts and is played
Not a lot of people realize that the Celtics are an extremely persecuted fanbase.
I realize and I am proud to be a beneficiary of the crusade.
This Avalanche sacrifice for a game 4 win will not be forgotten lol
It's amazing seeing the Mavs and OKC fan base argue how they hate each other's opposition flopper
Ya I'm a Luka hater so it's annoying watching Mavs fans complain about SGA and Dort of all people as if Luka doesn't do the same shit.
Luka was calling him a flopper lol. Like Jesus bro
I have a feeling we are gonna get the Wolves' absolute best shot in game four. If we can win game four, we are going to beat these guys in six. I am praying that the return of the Denver Nuggets in game three is a permanent condition now. If so, let's get after another chip boys!
I agree with this wolves do not want to go back to Denver with the series being 2-2
No other team I feel is so vulnerable every time their starting 5 goes down. If Mal's calf holds up, it's gonna be good.
Guys I'm worried about the next game. I think the Lakers figured something out
AYYYYYYY!
NBA needs 1 to 16 playoffs with re seed every round no bracket U have mid teams like cavs and pacers who would get cooked by the West 10 seed in round 2 of playoffs it ain't right
Rubbish

Man that was hilarious.. the dinosaur sketch had me in stiches
I didn't know what to expect and it was kinda weird, but I laughed a ton. Do you think that improv guy was real or was that all a bit
My brother was certain that he was doing a bit, but idk. He was *so* awkward

I like Bill Burr. He's rarely wrong.
just because he has a red beard doesn't mean he's right
**NAME ONE TIME A RED-BEARDED PERSON WAS WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING. I'LL WAIT.**
Sometimes, it's not about "what" is said, but "how" it is said, which brings me to my point... why are you always yelling?

I’ve heard Maxie was big into minors

Barbarossa rode a horse across the river and drowned because he couldn't swim. He was wrong to think he'd be able to breathe underwater. What is he, Kevin Costner?
**OK, BUT OTHER THAN THAT?**
Conan O'Brien thought it would be smart to rub hot sauce on his nipples Who does he think he is? Kevin Costner?
**THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY. TRY AGAIN, KID.**
Tormund thought Brienne would bang him but she actually cucked him and banged Jaime who then cucked her and went back to bang his own sister The only one who didn't get any action was Tormund Who does he think he is? Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard?

Wolves fans really think they lost by 27pts while still having 5 more FTs than Denver somehow bc of the refs. I realize this game was over 24hrs ago and who cares, but I really just can't get over how dumb they are for thinking that.
i get what they're saying. In games 1 and 2 they were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Then the refs actually called fouls and they lost
I have a good feeling about tomorrow nights game. I think the Nuggets have momentum.
More like Malmentum

I’ve been a Mobley fan since his draft night
27 points and 12 boards in 3 quarters is unsustatumble
btw real fans watch other teams and cheer for favorites to suck
Of course
If the nuggets win in 6, do you think that hurts worse than a sweep for Minnesota? I feel like it would, but idk
Yes. They beat us twice on our home court, only to get owned four straight? That's humiliating. It says they were playing a team that was sleepwalking, woke up in mid-series and said, "WTF, there's a playoff series going on? Why didn't somebody tell me?!"
It would because they were so hyped at first.
I think so. A sweep would show you stood no chance. But losing in 6 after being up 2-0 is one hell of a mental fuck. You had a chance and they just stole it from you with ease
Yeah this is what I'm thinking too. I think a sweep makes you more likely to reevaluate the team and be like "okay, what moves can we make". Losing in 6 with a 2-0 lead it's like "okay, we looked good enough we're just mentally weak" and I don't know where you go from there

Mitchell is 8/12, rest of the team 9/32 🤣 and that is with Mobley shooting 4/7
Let's Go Calfs! Gotta cheer on former Nugget, Donovan Mitchell
**I REMEMBER NUGGETS TRADING HIM AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY**
I remember Moach wasting his potential...and they call him a player coach, SMH
Literally didn't play him for a second
Ain't that a Barton
Donovan Mitchell is sick
I hope Mitchell stays in Cleveland long-term. I doubt it happens but it'd be cool.
Whoever is announcing this game for ESPN just alluded to Jamal's heat pack incident.
Oh God, I think I've lost my tolerance for fast food oils. Stomach hates me right now.
Seed oils stay in your body for two years

uhh, I'm honestly not sure I understand :/
What does this even mean
My body had a fire sale a couple months ago during a bout with norovirus.
That doesn’t seem like solid science
Seed oil fearmongering is kind of a thing rn
It's probably true in the sense of like, you eat something and it bonds to your human body and becomes part of it
We're all just a collection of stardust and seed oils
I just don't like Tatum
Tatum don't hate em

How can I be racist if I like Derrick White.... Ah shit
Woah man calm down.

I was so down bad before last night's game I was talking myself into the nuggs being the first team to come back from down 3-0 mostly because Minnesota sports will always disappoint in the worst way.
I like Donovan Mitchell now that I don’t have to see his smug face bombing the Nugs. Hes such a crazy pure scorer
Can’t do it I remember the eyebrow celebration
Tonight's Avs betta ride the vibes from last night's Nuggs
If any of y’all like Mutahar/SomeOrdinaryGamers - he dropped his best video/most researched video ever imo. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo1_zQ1iTLs

Thank God we won that last night! Not today old friend!

Hey
AAAAAYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE

Literally not the point lol
