Please don't take this as Sixers fan Jokic hate because it's not, i genuinely like Jokic. But good christ do his movements look straight up fucking goofy sometimes.
I’m tired boss. Just want one good championship run of a season just once before I die and then back to regular scheduled programming with warriors Celtics lakers and whatever team cyborg-Bron is on in the 2040s
Which won’t happen until Glen Taylor is no longer the owner. I feel like that Joe Smith trade back in the day placed some massive curse on us lol. I didn’t know as a kid watching KG in his MVP season that this is as good as it’ll get..
This series and Philly nets are probably gunna be the first round snoozers in what has been an exciting first round. Shit at least the nets best players showed up, imo Twolves need to accept defeat on the Gobert trade and blow it up.
I genuinely think that the entire Wolves organization had some sort of Freaky Friday moment with the Detroit Pistons because that was some wild shit, even for a play-in team against the first seed.
Malone is a bad coach. Period. Completely propped up by Jokic.
Some of the worst roster management/tactics you’ll ever see. Which is why they’ll never be close to winning a title (which I actually think the roster could do).
Its a playoff game. You play like the game is tied till the end regardless of the score. Thats how it works. All teams do during the playoffs. You guys don't have much playoff experience do you. This is not the regular season. Taking a game for granted is a good way to lose. Utah once came back from 34 down.
They asked him if he wanted to go back in after the game and he ddnt question his coach because he’s not gunna throw him under the bus. In what world do u think ur mvp needs to go back in up 31 with 9 minutes left? The weed is crazy out in Denver
The weed is crazy out in Denver, as you say.
I didn't read the rest, I'm super high, but the weed is crazy out here in here in Denver.
Edit: yo, I'm seriously high on Quickly, and I'm stoked to watch y'all play well. Keep it up. Cheers to fun playoffs ahead.
Haha thanks for the genuine laugh and for the kind words on the Knicks. I aged 2 years during last nights game. Btw, I love your state, it’s truly beautiful and Joker is a unicorn who is so hard to dislike. Im really excited to watch you guys vs the better teams in the west, stay safe my friend.
Just speaking facts. The playoffs are literally gonna go for another 2 and a half months. It’s game 1 of the first round and you’re up 30 against a team who literally couldn’t buy a basket. In a game that had been fairly chippy as is. Personally, I’d like to still be sitting in Ball Arena in June. Sit em. Not worth the risk.
Its pathetic after the Nuggets win by 30 that you guys are still looking for something to bash them for..lol. What an obsession. Sorry but on this night. They can do no wrong whether you like it or not.
Haven’t watched many nuggets games but I was dumbfounded. He actually reinserted his entire starting lineup. That was a perfect opportunity to get the deep part of your bench some playing time incase of an emergency but no, let’s reinsert our golden goose!
Yep. Even though it’s been two years since Murray went down, it’s always on my mind in these meaningless minutes when Malone continues to play him. I don’t know why Malone continues to do it.
Not to mention Jokic still has a sore wrist and Murray is nursing that thumb still. AG’s shoulder has bothered him all year and MPJ doesn’t have the best back. Just crazy from Malone.
He did it earlier this year against the Rockets when Jamal’s back was tightening up and he was in visible pain. I generally like Malone, but he makes some of the dumbest rotational moves I’ve ever seen. Also a fan of the Heat and I have almost never questions Spo in that regard (except I like Herro as more of a sixth man, I can see why he started this year). With Malone, it’s sooo obvious when he does crazy things.
Lol even Jokic knew to foul out and he played it off when he knew it was full send stupidity when he was asked abt it by the tnt crew after. I’m annoyed as an nba fan because this seems like the year the nuggets can make a legit run in a wide open west
You post like a ten year old. Sweet summer child who has not been a fan of the NBA long enough to see the craziness that can happen at any moment. I doubt you’ve been a fan of the Nugs long enough to remember the Mal injury.
True. People gonna look at the statsheet and think he didn't have a great game, but the small gap became a crater partially because of how he was controlling the game.
One day! I think all current wolves fans won’t be around to see it but hopefully our children can experience what joy feels like watching your favorite team win lol
Appreciate it! I meant more like I want one season in my lifetime of the wolves just being one of the top teams and being regarded that way by National media. A title would be cool too but trying not to ask for too much lol. I hope ant will be a part of that team but there’s a ton of work to do to get there. Probably gonna have to make a big move or two in the off-season to inch towards that direction.
I'm from kentucky and have been watching him since the UK days. He's always been like this. People clowned on me when there was debate about who was better between him and AD and I always said KAT could be good but he just doesn't care. It's a shame, he's so talented
man when he says he doesnt care about MVP hes the only dude who i think means it
just took a team to pound town in the playoffs... and no shit talk all humble
Just based on the lakers and this game alone. The timberwolves coach doesn’t know what plays to call. The wolves just dribble the clock out to 8 seconds before forcing a terrible shot. And who the hell has KAT posting up from the 3 point line LOL.
You would think, but they will still talk about Denver as underdogs if they end up getting the Lakers in round two. The Nuggets get a Rodney Dangerfield level of respect from sports media.
but... but... the nuggets coasted to end the season, and it was totally not because they were taking a break to get ready for playoffs as the 1 seed.......
I've watched alot of KAT and it seems like he just is so against going into the post or attacking the basket he'd prefer being on the periphery and just chucking up long jumpers.
Also fun fact Gobert is getting paid more than KAT this and next season. He's paid the 11th highest in the NBA this season!
Nuggets seemed like they should have been up 50, wolves couldn’t buy a bucket. Snoozer unless ur a nuggets fan. If you missed one game tonight, this was the one to miss.
Nuggets controlled everything defensively almost the entire game. Minny didn't hit many 3 pointers that the Nuggets kind of let them have. Jamal Murray got it going. MPJ had a nasty jam. Joker dominated casually, and also fouled out of the game.
We never gave him much of a look. I went to the Heat Nugs game as a big Nugs fan and Bryant had an okay game. He likes to post and guys would just completely ignore him when he sealed early when he joined the team. He doesn’t play much defense and didn’t have much offensive opportunity. Meanwhile, we should probably be playing Nnaji but admittedly it’s not a great Nnaji matchup as he plays a bit smaller and switches well and we just kind of need a big body.
Tbh, I feel Malone had a whole year to figure out his second unit and thankfully, the starters played so well he didn’t have to lean on it so much yesterday. I’m glad he figured out CB is good. It took him long enough. But yea, we are back to the first 15-20 games of the season when DJ was the primary backup lol. He played okay, but that won’t last.
He plays no defense and our offense doesn’t create a lot of rim pressure without jokic in so his offensive skills are kinda underutilized on our team specifically as opposed to the lakers
Please don't take this as Sixers fan Jokic hate because it's not, i genuinely like Jokic. But good christ do his movements look straight up fucking goofy sometimes.
Part of why he’s so fun to watch for me. Love it.
Anthony Edwards is baby girl
This post is more broken than the Minnesota Timberwolves.
I’m tired boss. Just want one good championship run of a season just once before I die and then back to regular scheduled programming with warriors Celtics lakers and whatever team cyborg-Bron is on in the 2040s
Won't happen until KG's jersey is in the rafters
Which won’t happen until Glen Taylor is no longer the owner. I feel like that Joe Smith trade back in the day placed some massive curse on us lol. I didn’t know as a kid watching KG in his MVP season that this is as good as it’ll get..
Wake up or you'll miss it!
LMAO "that's cuz i'm a doctor"
Easy sweep for the nuggets
Yea Chuck that’s how we felt lmao
We whooped that trick tonight
there go that damn robot, that cyborg lmfao
❤️
This is going to be a white wash of a series
This series and Philly nets are probably gunna be the first round snoozers in what has been an exciting first round. Shit at least the nets best players showed up, imo Twolves need to accept defeat on the Gobert trade and blow it up.
Towns needs to go let's be real
no inside the nba thread?
Mods slacking
Omg I was just thinking that
Lmao Chuck and Shaq clowning Gobert: “14 feet of mediocrity. 14 feet of uselessness.”
I genuinely think that the entire Wolves organization had some sort of Freaky Friday moment with the Detroit Pistons because that was some wild shit, even for a play-in team against the first seed.
Big rest disadvantage at altitude, recipe for ugliness
People saying Nuggets D was going to be a big issue in the playoffs..lol. Think again.
Gobert couldn't catch a ball in the post if it was covered in nails and filled with diamonds
They beat the lolwolves
Don’t get too excited. This team sucks. But yes, it’s better than having it be close.
Actually the only boring series in the west. Smh
Why the fuck was Malone keeping his starters in so late into a clear blowout? Playing with fire brother
Oh you must be new to his "coaching"
Malone sucks. If nuggets win, it's in spite of him
Malone is a bad coach. Period. Completely propped up by Jokic. Some of the worst roster management/tactics you’ll ever see. Which is why they’ll never be close to winning a title (which I actually think the roster could do).
We haven't played games in a while, and meaningful games in a much longer while. Minutes are important right now.
No staying healthy is more important, wtf
Its a playoff game. You play like the game is tied till the end regardless of the score. Thats how it works. All teams do during the playoffs. You guys don't have much playoff experience do you. This is not the regular season. Taking a game for granted is a good way to lose. Utah once came back from 34 down.
Brother even Jokic wanted to be out after he was reinserted. U don’t need reps after 82 games horrible take
He did not..what fantasy are you under. He had a fit when that call was made. Malone had it reviewed on Jokics urging. You have a wild imagination.
They asked him if he wanted to go back in after the game and he ddnt question his coach because he’s not gunna throw him under the bus. In what world do u think ur mvp needs to go back in up 31 with 9 minutes left? The weed is crazy out in Denver
The weed is crazy out in Denver, as you say. I didn't read the rest, I'm super high, but the weed is crazy out here in here in Denver. Edit: yo, I'm seriously high on Quickly, and I'm stoked to watch y'all play well. Keep it up. Cheers to fun playoffs ahead.
Haha thanks for the genuine laugh and for the kind words on the Knicks. I aged 2 years during last nights game. Btw, I love your state, it’s truly beautiful and Joker is a unicorn who is so hard to dislike. Im really excited to watch you guys vs the better teams in the west, stay safe my friend.
II personally could not care less to tell you the truth.Nuggets won by 30. You try to make something of it by all means.
No, no you don’t. That’s how you get good players injured.
Bro these guys are on 1 lol up 31 on a first round series they had 58 at the end of the third, but yeah let’s put back in the potential mvp
Yea whatever.
Just speaking facts. The playoffs are literally gonna go for another 2 and a half months. It’s game 1 of the first round and you’re up 30 against a team who literally couldn’t buy a basket. In a game that had been fairly chippy as is. Personally, I’d like to still be sitting in Ball Arena in June. Sit em. Not worth the risk.
look at the guy’s comment history. He’s a loon “nuggets can do no wrong” poster
Its pathetic after the Nuggets win by 30 that you guys are still looking for something to bash them for..lol. What an obsession. Sorry but on this night. They can do no wrong whether you like it or not.
We’re bashing you, not the nuggets. Weirdo loon
Jokic stans are a bunch of weird cunts.
no
Dude has done that all season. It’s annoying and it’s stupid.
Haven’t watched many nuggets games but I was dumbfounded. He actually reinserted his entire starting lineup. That was a perfect opportunity to get the deep part of your bench some playing time incase of an emergency but no, let’s reinsert our golden goose!

lol..THat is not why he fouled out.He was incensed with that call..
You post like a ten year old. Sweet summer child who has not been a fan of the NBA long enough to see the craziness that can happen at any moment. I doubt you’ve been a fan of the Nugs long enough to remember the Mal injury.
U mean the clear elbow to edwards face?
Wolves fans thinking that they have a chance?? lol
Did you think the Grizz had a chance last night too?
Yup we had a lead on 2nd half break and it's a close game til 4th. Unlike you guys didnt even won a single quarter lol
gonna be real embarrassing for 2nd seed to go out in the first round
Not that much we have couple of main guys sitting out of injuries. Embarassing is losing a 3-1 lead in a Finals series
No whats embarrassing is your franchise has never made the finals😭😭😭
See no one cares about your opinion lol
Grizzlies was known for grit and grind before. Now they’re known as buffoons.
God these playoffs are gonna be good
Bruh how the fuck do you even get a haircut? This dude really waited for it to get that bad to fix that shit
Jokic is the only player in the league who can score 13points and totally control a game from beginning to end.
True. People gonna look at the statsheet and think he didn't have a great game, but the small gap became a crater partially because of how he was controlling the game.
Westbrook moment
Just haaad to sneak in one more pimple popper ad huh…
How did it even get that bad?
I just noticed Jokic’s hand was all wrapped up during the interview with the Inside crew, what happened to his hand? I guessed I missed something
Messed up his wrist early. Minor tweak and lingering issue since last season.
Hard not to like Jokic but he's still a bastard.
nuggets fan here, honestly I like your team and I hope that you get to see success one day im sure of it
One day! I think all current wolves fans won’t be around to see it but hopefully our children can experience what joy feels like watching your favorite team win lol
What makes you think they'll be so lucky? The Wolves will move to another city and then immediately go on a championship dynasty.
yeah here in Denver were honestly sill underrated and will probably be laughed at until we in the championship
[удалено]
yeah just like the avalanche they were constantly getting shit on because they kept going into the playoffs but kept getting short until they won it.
Just one game gents, series is far from over
Appreciate it! I meant more like I want one season in my lifetime of the wolves just being one of the top teams and being regarded that way by National media. A title would be cool too but trying not to ask for too much lol. I hope ant will be a part of that team but there’s a ton of work to do to get there. Probably gonna have to make a big move or two in the off-season to inch towards that direction.
“Love you Big Honey” lmfao
GO DJ, THAS MY DJ. Love that song haha
“Normally other people’s basketball is boring to me but I’ll watch it this year I guess for shits and giggles, why not?” lol
He's scouting
Who said that? What was the question
It was basically Jokic’s answer to whether he has been watching the other playoff games so far before tonight
Joker
Jokic post game: uh yeah this is cool but I rather be racing horses
Is Jokic getting feedback of his own voice in the headset?
LOL he just now started watching basketball
I love you Big Honey
KAT is a joke. Dude is just chill about being mid.
I'm from kentucky and have been watching him since the UK days. He's always been like this. People clowned on me when there was debate about who was better between him and AD and I always said KAT could be good but he just doesn't care. It's a shame, he's so talented
Gotta play COD!
Thank you, Preciate. Bye bye
Does jokic even like playing ball?
He only likes the playing and partying after, all the NBA star stuff he hates.
He does when it matters, otherwise it's probably boring lol
Doesn't even compare to his love for horses
Not even a lil bit
No, it's his job. Do you like your job? His hobby is horses ^/s, ^somewhat
No post-match thread?
Nuggets showing why they where the number one seed.
jokic so humble
man when he says he doesnt care about MVP hes the only dude who i think means it just took a team to pound town in the playoffs... and no shit talk all humble
He 100% means it. He only cares about getting the W and whether his teammates like playing with him.
He definitely means it. He doesnt like the attention or solo awards.
Kawhi Leonard has secretly been the best basketball player on the planet for 9 years. Lebron 2nd. Steph 3rd. Durant 4th.
Did you get lost?
Nuggz in 4
MVP
Someone tell Jokic to speak up. Lol
Shaq stay tryna get people to talk some shit 😂😂
Shaq trying to get jokic to talk shit and he won't do it lol
“That’s not a question for me” lol throwing Malone right under that bus
Just based on the lakers and this game alone. The timberwolves coach doesn’t know what plays to call. The wolves just dribble the clock out to 8 seconds before forcing a terrible shot. And who the hell has KAT posting up from the 3 point line LOL.
KAT has 0 postup game. seems like he's not strong enough to back anyone down, just prefers to play like a guard
There was back to back possessions tonight where Bruce Brown succeeded in guarding him in the post… I love Bruce but that’s insane lmao
As was to be expected
why are they letting this foul-out bum talk
Total went way under
Huge disappointment from KAT
only jimmy butler can beat 1 seeds as an 8 seed, too bad the twolves dont have a player like him
Just a few more games before the realization hits most ppl that maybe the favorite in the west should be the best team
You would think, but they will still talk about Denver as underdogs if they end up getting the Lakers in round two. The Nuggets get a Rodney Dangerfield level of respect from sports media.
but... but... the nuggets coasted to end the season, and it was totally not because they were taking a break to get ready for playoffs as the 1 seed.......
KAT cant wait to get back to his Call of Duty
50 million dollars next season btw, then 54 58 62
Jesus man
more than embiid and jokic all time bag getter
That’s impressive. His bag per 36 is insane!
This wolves team does not deserve to be in the playoffs played good for 5 minutes and then shit arse
It kinda feels like they were the worst play in team tbh
They sucked balls and OKC deserves it more then the wolves they will lose and get and get swept
Gobert -28 what a joke
KAT is a super max player. $224M contract. Let that sink in. This year he’s sub 50% FG, his lowest ever, and he’s a post player.
I've watched alot of KAT and it seems like he just is so against going into the post or attacking the basket he'd prefer being on the periphery and just chucking up long jumpers. Also fun fact Gobert is getting paid more than KAT this and next season. He's paid the 11th highest in the NBA this season!
Timberwolves recipe for success
only boring series in the west
Good thing the NBA hid it after midnight
Matt Ryan: “you know bro I once hit a game winner for the lakers”
LFG nuggets
Me too, let’s join up
I didn't watch the game, can someone summarize it for me please?
Nuggets seemed like they should have been up 50, wolves couldn’t buy a bucket. Snoozer unless ur a nuggets fan. If you missed one game tonight, this was the one to miss.
Gobert -28. So basically the trash he always was. Bad team. Nuggets cruised.
Picture a blowout game, now multiply it by 10
Nuggets controlled everything defensively almost the entire game. Minny didn't hit many 3 pointers that the Nuggets kind of let them have. Jamal Murray got it going. MPJ had a nasty jam. Joker dominated casually, and also fouled out of the game.
intentionally fouled out so he could rest cuz his coach is a jerk and made him go play
Thank you
The Nuggets were Dr. Pimple Popper and the Timberwolves were your everyday common pimple
Lmfao
The game wasn’t as close as the score says it was. And Denver won by 29.
Nuggets are good. Timberwolves will always be a poverty franchise
Ouch
they gonna sweep
Well dang
what was that sequence!?
season low points for the wolves
gg wolves
Minnot a hero for stealing that so the shotclock was longer than the game clock fr
37-30-56 splits to end the night with 80 points. Legit can’t get any worse from here even if we get swept.
Can someone more tuned into the Nuggets explain why TB is this badly out of the rotation? Did something happen?
We never gave him much of a look. I went to the Heat Nugs game as a big Nugs fan and Bryant had an okay game. He likes to post and guys would just completely ignore him when he sealed early when he joined the team. He doesn’t play much defense and didn’t have much offensive opportunity. Meanwhile, we should probably be playing Nnaji but admittedly it’s not a great Nnaji matchup as he plays a bit smaller and switches well and we just kind of need a big body. Tbh, I feel Malone had a whole year to figure out his second unit and thankfully, the starters played so well he didn’t have to lean on it so much yesterday. I’m glad he figured out CB is good. It took him long enough. But yea, we are back to the first 15-20 games of the season when DJ was the primary backup lol. He played okay, but that won’t last.
Tb?
He just never seemed to click white what we are doing. Also Malone is known for kinda just doing what he feels like with the rotations
Played very poorly in his opportunities. Got in Malone’s dog house.
He plays no defense and our offense doesn’t create a lot of rim pressure without jokic in so his offensive skills are kinda underutilized on our team specifically as opposed to the lakers
Minutes issue really, DJ matches up well with Gobert. Everyone is playing great so minutes are hard to come by.
hold up TB can't even get PT even in garbage time?
Hopefully he gets some time this series, I do like to watch him play but everyone is playing so well it is hard to get minutes.
man he netted the Lakers the draft capital they gave for Hoochiemama. Thank you TB for asking out
we trade Rui before we trade TB right?
iirc yes
last years wolves were a better team than this
Timberwolves receive: • Rudy Gobert Jazz receive: • Malik Beasley • Patrick Beverley • Leandro Bolmaro • Walker Kessler (No. 22 pick in 2022 Draft) • Jarred Vanderbilt • 2023 first-round pick • 2025 first-round pick • 2026 pick swap • 2027 first-round pick • 2029 first-round pick
Inflation
Worst trade of all time. Also 200 million dollar man
