Broussard stayed up all night waiting for this moment 😂
As well he shouldn't have been able to sleep. Rob would've crushed him if he was wrong so tables turned.
Right! His Doberman lookin a**
I don't blame Chris either and for everybody who wants to talk about well Joker still had 31 points amd yada yada yada yada well he also bricked up a bunch of missed 3 pointers.
Like a kid on Christmas Eve who can’t sleep 😂
Brou is the best f’ing gloater. All time great.
Malone asked for media coverage 😂😂😂.
They're getting it now 😂😂😂
Great point
Facts 😂
Touché
You right 🤷♀️😂 the nuggets and the fanboys were mad they weren’t getting any media coverage 🤷♀️😂 now you can’t find a delusional idiotic Denver chicken nuggets fanboys anywhere
Fair enough man. Terrible loss
Jamal Murray should have been suspended 1 game in that series for throwing things towards the ref.
He suspended himself with atrocious play.
Bro get over it thankfully he wasn’t. We got an amazing series and no one can diminish Minnesota winning by blaming a suspension. And I’m a Denver fan
@@Rosecain27Why should mofo get over him doing such a reckless play not once but twice? You don’t do that as a game is going on let alone the playoff where you know mad players are hurt and to top that off to see rudy get a tech and fine for doing less is beyond ridiculous.
@@Rosecain27get over it - hell nah that was some straight bullshit - Murray is now considered a dirty player because he was getting beat that’s the worst type of player
Had to DoorDash some chicken nuggets after the game since Denver couldn’t deliver
💀
Hope they weren't as crusty as your joke
🤣🤣🤣
Ouch😂🎉
Wacky “joke”💀
Stay on his neck Brou 😂. Now Rob is gonna pick against the Wolves every single time because his team is gone. Antman is next on his list of players to root against. Lol
Facts. Don't let up.
But why did Rob have the baby oil ready?
@@gerardbonner6464it’s a reference to a joke he’s made in the past a few times when he’s sitting pretty and was either right about an outcome or his team won. He’ll say he has baby oil and a cigarette like he’s chillin
@@macmoney88 yeah that sounds even more suspect. Usually, particularly from movies back in the day you smoke a cigarette after you release lol
Definitely a choke Job by the "Denver Chicken Nuggets"
KAT fish nuggets 😂
No Timberwolves are a better team... They already proved to be a championship, so they're no stranger to this, you make them seem unprofessional... Just accept your Denver got smashed on by the Timberwolves which proved they're definitely the better team
The wolves 🐺 eat them chicken nuggets with sauce 😭😭😭🤣🤣
So original.
There was a point in the 3rd quarter where Denver had the lead and took 8 shots, 7 of those shots were 3s and they missed all 7 shots. They didn't even try to get a jump shot or go to the rim. Thats where Minnesota took the lead and never gave it back. If they would have stopped shooting 3s they could have kept the lead.
Coach Malone choked biggest, being -28 in last 20 min of game 7…esp when your 2 stars put up star numbers. It is Malone who should have gotten more from role players, rather than having Joker gassed at the end playing 47min. Malone simply panicked.
We just saw Luka take a series from the #1 seed playing on no knees and 3 teeth. He was out there hips, ankles and gums and still giving Dort buckets. We saw Josh Hart play at least 46 minutes 5 games in a row and he plays both ends. Joker is 29 years old and plays one end of the court. He doesn't get to say I'm tired if they need him to go 48. He's guarding Gobert, he's resting on defense until the shot goes up. Game 7 at home is on the stars not the coach. Jokic is supposed to be all-time great. Damn the system, damn the rotation, Jokic has to get you that game.
@@trainerrob1622I mean did you expect him to put up 60? People need to be realistic about the expectations for Jokic, that’s why all this conversation about him being Top 10 player blah blah blah is all hogwash.
@@trainerrob1622 Fair points indeed. In addition to Malone, Joker bears responsibility as a superstar MVP for such a flameout in last 20mins. If LeBron’s team would have had this kind of collapse, he would be getting toasted and it would have been a blot on his career like loss to Mavs in Finals.
@@dunkingpawn3215Lebron gets roasted because he calls himself the king. Jokic didn’t call his teammates bums and worse than his 3.5 ppg averaging son. Jokic isn’t a team destroyer, big difference.
@@bigballer6666 Yes, if people are going to start putting him in all-time conversations and say this is his era, then the standard is the standard. Game 7 at home I expect a legacy game. If people are going to attach all-time too your name this is where we needed the first Joker game. If MJ needs 50 or 60 to take out the Suns he's going to go get 50 or 60. If Lebron needs a miracle in Detroit he puts up a 48. If Cap is out and Magic needs to play the 5 he goes out, jumps center and puts up 42/15 playing against Moses and Doc. When Hakeem won that chips in 95 he went through Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, David Robinson and Shaq... If we are talking all-time it can't be all-time of the past 12 seasons.
The lakers-nuggets was a big indicator that the nuggets were not gonna re-peat considering the fact the lakers led the series 70% of the time, if they had a coach just half as good as Chris finch, nuggets could have been bounced in the first round.
Cut it out . The coach didn’t miss open shots
I was saying this exact thing. Idiots were saying “Nuggets didn’t take the Lakers seriously. They’ll fix it next round”. Realistically, Nuggets just weren’t as good as people thought this year.
Agreed I think the Lakers had every chance to beat the nuggets in each game they played. 4/5 games they'd played the Lakers were up by half time and had AD playing great alongside LeBron. The Lakers just couldn't get it together towards the end of the 3rd and 4th quarter. Players on the lakers just need to play better.
@@damvp4 a coach who’s on the Line and watches the opposing team go on a 14-2 run before calling his first time out clearly is the fuckin problem. Even Mike Malone said he never understood why the lakers weren’t making adjustments to his adjustments, tf you even talking about ?
my guy u acting as if in the clutch lakers didn’t have open shots they did . And they missed . The nuggets got a better team. “Big indicator” lol “could have been”
When you got 3 bigs to rotate on Joker that will wear you down... not contain him but wear him down 😂
Right, but even so they had a 20 point lead in the third. The defending champs are supposed to close that one out.
He still made the passes to the corner but they couldn't knock down the shots.
no, when you don't have a back up center to rest him will wear you down
@@bilic8094 true
@@skillethead15 true
The answer...a heaping dose of both.
Yes. This is 100% true. I don’t understand the talking point of picking one or the other. It’s weird. Every comeback ever consists of both.
Aha. A see a true student of the game is here Daniel son
Put the Nuggets on the Dollar Menu next season.
Not taking anything away from Minnesota, but most of the players on Denver underperformed overall in the 12 playoff games this year. Jamal averaged 21 pts on 40/32/92 splits as the second option. Last year, Jamal avg. 26 pts on 47/40/93 splits.
They “underperformed” because they didn’t play anybody last year and they were never that good. They face a real team and t straight CHOKE
@@tjleaf3510thank you they beat overrated Lakers out the playin and beat overachieving Heat out the playin lol
@@tjleaf3510 They beat Minnesota 4-1 last year. Naz Reid was the only big change this year. They beat KD, Book and Ayton 4-2 and LeBron and AD 4-0. Miami beat the Celtics and Milwaukee and Nuggets beat them 4-1. Stop being dishonest about the competition last year. We have the all the video and stats 😂
@@kkbaby30Denver did NOT face a 50 win team in the playoffs on their run to the title which means the competition was watered down 😂. Miami was an 8th seeded team with Bam at 6 ft 4 as their Center 🤣🤣🤣. Fluke cakewalk 😂. It was a forgone conclusion when Denver had to play Miami in the finals
@@ssminowjohnson9687 Lol, you act like Denver didn't only win 53 games last year. The entire West was hard fought last year. Again, stop trying to act like the teams weren't good when the two teams they faced this year were the same last year minus a bench player 🤣 Y'all 🤡
If I was a Dallas fan I would be sad already knowing Rob just picked them. You know if Rob picks you then you will lose
Chris is so happy that jokic lost
Its because of wildes
so am i
we don't need a repeat of the br@ns@xual phenomenon just when thats nearing it's end
Me to get em out of here
As he should 😂
Okaaaaaaaay
We only criticizing Jokic the way we are because of all the praise he received over the years. Can’t be the greatest offensive player ever and be absolved of blame. And we not gonna blame the role players, cause they wasn’t getting blamed when they were up 20 in the 3rd
Lebron got roasted for losing to the KD warriors without kyrie. The fact that the media and people on RUclips are going easy on the joker.
You see it.....
Gotta start calling LBJ fans LeVictims, sheesh get over it!
@Hooperd2023 I'm fan of great players. I just want you all to be consistent.
No one would be a superstar if the were judged by LeBron standards
@@Hooperd2023so smart and original..
It was both. After Game 2, it was clear that Minnesota was the better team. From that point, it would take an upset by Denver for them to beat the Timberwolves. After Game 5, the Nuggets had the upset in hand. Minnesota showed their superiority in Game 6. Denver choked away a 20-point lead on the way to losing their third home game, but Minnesota was relentless in the comeback. Denver losing a close Game 7 might change the narrative, but in the end it was Denver playing essentially two guys vs. at least a seven-man rotation. Not only was Minnesota demonstrably better, but Denver might’ve lost in the first round had the Lakers been coached better.
Minnesota is the better team. Give them their props.
True...
Anthony Edwards is a better shooting guard than Jokic, but Jokic is a better center.
It’s a choke job. We wouldn’t let any other 3 time mvp, “best player in the world”, blow a 20 point in a game 7 at home and say the other team was better.
@robertrock16
It's a regular season mvp award and Joker said honestly, that Wolves were better overall. Do you want to blame Joker for not making any excuses? This doesn't prove, that he didn't deserve the rs mvp at all.
@@Marco-uh5znLBJ was harshly criticized for the same things so Joker can’t be absolved either 😂. You can’t have your fanbase campaign for an award then you downplay the significance when you don’t perform up to par😂
@@ssminowjohnson9687 exactly it’s a reason joker said he liked the year he didn’t win mvp more cause they won the chip that year
@@Marco-uh5zn I never said he didn’t deserve his awards. I’m saying we would never watch lebron blow a 20 point lead and then say the other team made a miraculous come back. We would say they blew a 20 point lead with the best player and 3 time mvp leading. All I know is people think Bron should’ve beat the warriors in 2015 with no love or Kyrie 🤷🏽♂️
@@robertrock16 34-19-7. Bench had 5 points. But it's Jokic's fault. Got it.
34 - 19 - 7 is NOT a choke. 5 bench points IS a choke.
Coach Malone RAN HIS STARTERS INTO THE GROUND. DeAndre Jordan, Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji , Justin Holiday and yes, Julian Strawther are never considerations into his rotation to at least give your starters a breather. At some point as a coach you’ve gotta play and coach up who’s on your roster. Nuggets lose for more reasons than just a choke job coach Malone has no feel for subbing in and out players at the right time during the course of a game.
Man I love you dude's best duo for me
Blown 20 point lead at home in the biggest game of the past 2 years.. after winning your 3rd "MVP".. with a healthy murray.. with an adam silver game 3 bailout.. and with the refs all series.. DEFINITION of choke job but media HAS TO protect chokic😂
Murray wasn't healthy.
@@ian0143 shldnt have been on the floor then dropping 24 in the 1st half.. womp womp
If you're trying to be wrong on every point - Mission accomplished.
🤣🤣😂😂 love the the gloating
The Nuggets actually win because of the size of their complimentary players to Jokic and Murray. Porter , Gordon and KCP all have great size . But the Wolves are bigger and stronger than them. The Lakers are a soft team . Lebron and AD kinda match Jokic and Murray. AD cant stop Jokic, but JOkic cant stop AD. They always just get beat by Aaron Gordon, Porter and KCP. Hence the games are always close.
News Alert to Rob Parker, whatever you try to tell Chris Broussard about his conviction that Minnesota would come out victorious against Denver, you cannot knock him off the Cloud, he is on. Just A Walkie Talkie Talk Thought, and Real Opinion, some time you lose, and some time you win. Broussard won.
Can’t be a choke if you lose 3 home games. Denver got beat by a better team.
thats actually the definition of a choke; when you can't win when you should
Up 20 in 3rd qtr... Yep, a definite choke job 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Should have would have could have won is always the excuse. That has never made sense.
they were up 20 they choked
@@aneedkassim9727 up 20
AT HOME
IN A GAME 7
This was definitely a choke job. 20 points with 24 minutes left? Come on. Nikola Jokic choked, y'all.
You didn't watch the game. That's obvious
@@Charlie-502why would I watch it? Cause I didn't want to. 20 points lead and you lost the series? That was Jokic's chance of making another championship run. Statistically Anthony Edwards played his worst game and y'all still lost? Now they gotta blame Michael Porter Jr even the dude helped so much in Lakers series?
Jokic had 35 points 19 rebounds 7 assists and no one besides Murray was in double digits
@@Because_Truth_Matters lol you just admitted to speaking ignorantly..
@@etoradamaley4713 great. What was the first or last time that the media blamed Giannis' teammates? When? It's always Giannis' fault when the Bucks don't win. Does the media blame Giannis? Yes or no? Okay then.
Was waiting for this lol
Joker’s horses wondering why he isn’t being put down lol
Underrated comment
Damn rob picked Dallas 🤦🏽♂️ yep we lost
It’s overrrrr Kenny smith
This is the biggest choke job since Kobe got smoked in the 2004 finals by the Pistons.
Ughh the memories...lost money on that game as a young man
Shaq was on that team too. So were Karl Malone and Gary Payton. All four of them choked in that Finals.
Jokic isn’t half the player Kobe was. No comparison
@@BlackGeniusGod League MVPs would beg to differ. Jokic 3 and Kobe 1. That's history and will never change.
I think the Warriors blowing a 3-1 against the Cavs in 2016 was a pretty bad choke job
Chris finally got one right. After numerous bad predictions, you finally get one right. Good for you!
He’s actually got many right. He picked Tampa to win in its first year with Brady. Meanwhile, Rob would pick the packers every year with Rodgers or the clippers or nets in the NBA.
I'm w/ Rob ..this was a choke job by Denver period
Chris & Rob are great together.
Rob said “tweee games”🤣
Love CB for Gloating hahaha the mimicry is good stuff lols 😅
Hakeem Olajuwon would destroy these guys. Defense matters when you want to be one of the greatest centers in the world.
Jokic is a good offensive player. He sucks defensively. He was gassed in the fourth quarter and standing around defensively.
Denver ran out of gas, man... that's all. Minnesota is an excellent defensive team with multiple seven-footers to throw at Joker. They have wing defenders to give Murray fits, too. Hats off to the Timberwolves... They gutted it out and upset the champs. 🤷♂️
Hold up. They're not ready for your logical reasoning.
nikola choke - ic is just not the dude people thought he was
"Ran out of gas"?!🤣 they went on ONE deep playoff run against bottom seeds and now they tired? Good luck trynna ever go back-to-back😂
Brou talking about just because you won doesn’t mean you’re a better individual player in regards to Anthony Edwards yet this the same dude who was caping for the President of the Middy Committee Jimmy G for years with that lame QB-wins logic….Make up your mind, Brou.
28 minutes of 28 days later 😂 iykyk
Choking the 1 seed against the spurs was the moment I knew they weren’t gonna repeat
Very true
Chris is right once again. Best to talk on sports in the world (IMO)
Rob Parker. GET CHRIS A SANDWICH!
Brou 🔥
Huge Jokic fan-but this was a terrible choke job from Jokic, Murray and especially Malone.
What happened Rob?! 😂😂😂😂
when dlo put up 0 points n rui put up 3 points - its lebron fault those turnovers killed them
when mjp put up 7 points ag put up 4 - jokic did all he could his teammates cant hit shots
Denver choked harder than Eminem at the beginning of 8-Mile!
You mean B Rabbit?
This was a failure by the organization by not recognizing what this team needed in order to compete with emerging western conference teams. From the beginning of the season you could see that this was not the same team. If they didn't want to make any trades for decent role players they should have developed their young players more by giving them more minutes to buod their confidence upnto post season. Mpj and Murray are not worth the money on their contracts since they are completely unreliable. If they don't make any significant changes they will never get pass Timberwolves..
Enough already with the Joker being called the BEST player in the League. He lost. He also had great support when he WON. He is not the BEST Player in the League but some folks sure want him to be.
Chris did a great job of explaining a choke job 😅
I have to agree with Chris, in a league where defense is defunct it’s like the Wolves have made defense enjoyable to watch again
STOPPPP ITTTTT
Rob is a bigger cornball than RG3 ever was with how he's been trying to push the "European players are under attack dewd" narrative, what a 🤡 lost all respect for Parker
Jamal Murray getting off easy because he jad a good Game 7. Dude was playing like the 7th man off the bench for most of the playoffs and save for s couple of moments he was not good. I lnow he was injured but if you're out there and playing all those minutes you have to deliver.
I agree with Rob it was a choke job . The end of the 3rd they played bad basketball. Jamal was sputtering throughout the whole series.. MPJ and AG were not good in game 7.. Denver needs to go get some bench players
2000 Blazers Lakers Game 7 vibes
When Nuggets lost both home games, you knew even if they win both in MN, they weren't winning 2 of the next 3.
Ja Morant: availability is the most important ability when it comes to someone who can’t stay out of trouble or stay healthy.
I bet chris got food all over his desk😂
Jokic is tough and will be an all time great but he’ doesn’t play any defense and who they even best last playoffs run ? Injured Memphis ? Injured heat ? A bad Lakers team ? Cmon stop it
They have a good coach and a good team who plays the right way but they’re way overrated
Can someone explain to me why tape delay was a bad thing in the 70s? I just don’t know
Haha CB prediction😂😂😂
Choke job...period
Rob is right for once, this was a straight up Choke Job!!!
It was both, choke and t wolves credit. Gotta give both
It was.
Give Broussard credit he stuck with Minnesota
Match ups plus execution is the key. I was telling my brother i thought that Minnisota had a chance to beat the nuggets because of there roster and also ther emoment going jnto the series.
Ant on Kyrie, McDaniels on Luca , towns on Luca, Reid on Luca.. Ant will score a lot on this group.
Chris don’t hold back cook him 😂😂😂
I blame Malone, because he got out-coached. No way no how you lose being up 20 in Q3 of a Game 7 at home. Yet Malone engineered it. Also, stop with the All-Star talk for Murray: hes too inconsistent. I know he was hurt or not 100%. Edit: shout-out to clownass Nick Young and role model Ja, lol. Nobody misses you guys.
It's both a Denver choke job and Minnesota's great defense that determined this series. The choke job didn't happen until games 6 & 7. Jokic needs to work on his rim protection and clutch 3s over this summer, or Denver needs to trade for a rim protecting role player.
Much love Ant Man
Last time I see a team losing at home 3 games I remember Barkley's Suns in 93 Finals. Choke job indeed.
And yes, Chris Brousard is indeed a prisioner of the moment just like rest of media.
That wasn’t a choke job - wolves matched up really well w nuggets - took they ass out
What happen to the dynasty talk 😂😂😂
LOL this is actually a funny take
I just don’t like to think there could only be one player in an NBA era. In the 90s it’s all MJ & Bulls, but there’s also Magic/Bird before him, and Hakeem.
There are more talented players Now than that of the 80s and 90s. And all of them are fun to watch.
Rob NEVER has the same Energy when hes WRONG‼️
Ant is the best player in the world. People just want to resist it. He is better. He plays both sides of the court at a very high level.
Straight no chaser its a choke job...
Broussard the Prophet
NUGGETS will never be the same beginning of the END. KCP will be gone. MURRAY prob won’t stay consistently healthy. GORDON fades away. MPJ eventually traded 🤷🏾♂️ FA not wanting to play in DENVER!
THE " JUDAS TWINS " CHRIS BROUSSARD AND ROB PARKER
If MP Jr would have just made his average, not balling out just made his average Denver would have won. They need to take a hard look at their bench and get another big man to relieve Joker
Hey Rob
Jokic and Murray combined for 69 points. Everyone else, including MPJ combined for 21 points. I don't have a college degree, but last time I checked 6>2
Wait yall been callin Denver a dynasty but now the Timberwolves the better team ????🥴
What was ole Rob planning on doing with that baby oil! 🤔👀🤔
They didn't play the offense through the Joker
Denver peaked in gm 5, they weren’t the same after that gm. They did just like the Knicks in their series. Pretty much nothing from their bench in gms 6 & 7.
KAT not choking is a beautiful sight to see
Denver got complacent in upgrading their team in the off season. They lost Green and Brown did nothing to replace them and now Jackson and KCP are more than likely going to step to where the biggest offer is which won't be in Denver. The organization has some serious decisions to make. They may need to move on from MPJ and trade him while he has decent trade value. Whether they want to break the band up or not they're going to be a lot different looking and they might as well stay ahead of it.
Choke..this was a cllassic choke by the Nuggets..they all were so afraid of the moment everybody was just watching Jokic and Murray no cutting,slashing,no movement it was a disaster nobody was doing anything and I give credit to the Wolves and Antman he changed the whole mentality in there but it was a choke job.
Watching media and respected people move the goalposts for Jokic is ridiculous judge him the way you judge every other 3 time MVP
Jokic is a habitual traveler
Habitual ball palmer
