I like how everyone thought Gordon was gonna be the weakest link for Denver but he’s undeniably the 3rd best player on the team and has been a major contributing factor for them in every series.
Hes best offensive weakest link on champ team since.....cant think of..even 2017 warriors had draymond. 2001 lakers fisher. 1996 bulls rodman.....ever?
Yep. Too many elite or very good passers, too many mismatches, too many threats, no matter what choice the defense makes, Nuggets get something they want. I was afraid for the league when they got Gordon because I knew how well he would fit when the Nuggets got Porter Jr and Murray back healthy, giving them a starting five without a weak or even average link, and all in their primes. I commented pre-season that I could not see how anyone might stop them on offense, and I still cannot, and so far no one can.
Jamal and Joker have really unlocked Gordon's full potential. It's a sight to see him picking up some of Jokers habits. That and-1 floater he had last game was very Jokic like
@@kn7cks347 yes, it is always easier to be the third option on a team and not be doubled a lot. Wiggins looks a lot better as the third option behind Curry and Klay too. And then it helps to be playing for a competent coach, and hard work by Gordon and reaching his prime...
All this cutting by the corner guys is probably the main reason why Heat has to abandon the zone. Boston is content with taking and bricking open 3s out of zone, but Denver is too smart for that
Celtics have terrible offense. You can’t win consistently by taking tough shots. The Warriors used their amazing motion offense to get easy dunks, layups, lobs, tip ins. The copycats think it’s all about jacking up contested threes.
The observation that Gordon has learned from Jokic is spot on. His passing and vision have improved a ton since he first showed up in Denver - he's good for a few dimes per game on top of everything else he brings. Joker ball is contagious
Denver's system is underrated. Players are constantly getting open without the ball. They were 2nd in team assists this year. Denver mirrors their system from GSW.
@@samjordan5342 agreed. The Warriors system was centered around the 3PT shot because they obv had the two best shooters ever. But it’s mainly the same type of movement offense. No one is standing around, they’re constantly trying to attack the paint so they can scramble defenses and get their shooters open. Draymond is a very poor man’s Jokic, but he’s doing similar types of reads. His bread and butter is the DHO with Steph and the low post split. Denver does it similarly with Jokic/Murray. That’s winning basketball, not shot chucking like the 2018 Rockets or 2021-2023 Celtics
Gordon is slowing becoming one of my favs. dude works hard on both ends and has great vision and spacing to get these good looks. what selling me is he's picking up on jokic's moves making great passes from the block
It’s a true testament to correct culture building player development and top class organization congrats to Denver on their first title this is how you rebuild nba teams
@@mattmmixes The funny thing is, teams in any league fire a good development coach when the rebuild begins, justifying it by "needing a clean slate", but then end up hiring a washed up overrated has-been, when they think it's time to compete for a deep playoff run, like with Doc Rivers and Philly, and never get anywhere. Toronto just did that with Nick Nurse.
True.. But they kinda hit the lottery with Jokic. Everything they're doing works because of how special he is.. And not many 2nd rounders will become probably the best player in the league
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 wtf does that even mean ? To say all you need to do to win a chip is build through the draft and devellop players is such a simplistic way to view things. Every team that won a chip since the 80's except the 04 Pistons had a legit top 5 superstar on their team. Having an unquestioned top player on your team is way more important than just "build through the draft".. Take Jokic off this Nuggets team and all this culture and building stuff gets thrown out the window real quick
One thing I’ve noticed throughout Jokic career is he’s always had a solid PF with him. But what separates this team from the others is that Aaron Gordon is better than any 4 he’s ever had. He had Kenneth Faried early in his career, he had an older but solid Millsap for a few years, he had Jerami Grant the year they went to the WCF in the bubble, and now they have Gordon. The high/low combo with the PF for them is just as important as the Jokic/Murray duo. Gordon is still very athletic, physical, great POA defender, and can hit timely shots. The others just weren’t as good for Jokic because he needs an athletic/physical presence to catch lobs and passes down low and someone who can defend PnR so Jokic isn’t always out of position. Just great roster construction by Denver FO
Great analysis! Passing is about to become the weapon it has always been. Young hoopers will also see what a TEAM can do to superstars. Thanks because Basketball needed that.
The only guys on my Bulls that do this consistently are Javonte Green and Derrick Jones Jr. and shocker! The bulls offensive #s are better with them on the court
@@xavierb9061 no talent??? Even Duncan Robinson has been putting up a clinic driving to the basket Players are just horribly coached or have no IQ outside of chucking as many 3s as possible. Some of the worst basketball I've seen because teams want to be the steph curry warriors.
The Nuggets' execution is glorious, which is what they have needed to match Miami's defensive gameplan which they too have executed quite well. Michael Malone has matched Erik Spoelstra at every turn. Truly great coaches who have their teams ready at every moment.
Yes, but the Celtics do not have a starting five with two elite passers and another really good one, so they would have had less success getting the ball to the dunker. Should have tried it anyway still.
@@tribalypredisposed yeah. If it were me I’d have payton and d white running point and having JB cut, with Rob distracting the defense down low. You’ll get either a JB layup or an open 3 for d white or PP. then you keep Tatum at midrange as another threat
it's hard to stop becuase Jokic doesnt jump. He takes offense flat footed. Him, taking offense very slowly, could see every development on the court and adjust. Unlike Giannis(i am a fan) who needs to be fast to euro step into a bucket or else he will be cornered, or Embiid who once he decided to score will take that fade away shot.
That’s one thing I’d like to see Giannis do more of. He needs to play more off ball and slow things down a little. If they could get Giannis a great point guard to play with he could an insane pick and role player and cutter. The lobs would be crazy. This would also help his efficiency even though he’s one of the most efficient players in the nba he could always be more efficient. He’s already a great cutter and pick and role player but a point guard like cp3 could help him have a all time great season.
Good breakdown, especially for people who don't have a deep background in basketball. Their rotation, spacing, and timing are all immaculate. The Heat are no slouches defensively, either. That level of polished offense will make any team look helpless on defense.
What makes denver so difficult to guard? Simple. They moving the ball and cut to the basket, and find the open man with best shot percentage. Not relying on iso or hero ball. Basketball is not a show off sports, its a TEAM sports
They move off the ball so well jok and murry create so much atttion on offense it allows others to go off with miss matches or have open shots murry has been very good with ball creating open shots while being blitzed
Yep! Their cuts are lethal. And they are willing to cut harder because they know they will have the ball. Both murray and yokic are great passr who want to pass the ball
For sure. You screen harder and cut harder when you know there is a good chance the ball handler won't just back up a shot but will actually look to pass it.
The real reason they can’t be stopped is they used the available space better than any other team in the league and they have a big man that can pass and sees the court. This game is easy if you just move without the ball🏀🏀🏀🏀
@@joshuaanderson4090 lol that's probably true but Westbrook running around like a chicken with his head cut off, desperately trying to make a play while Durant stood there was not a good look
@@cappy2282 no. Which is why coach Nick was so critical of him all the time. Even saying, what may end up being true, that this guy will never win a chip as a starting point guard.
@@joshuaanderson4090 lol I agree but it's not like Durant made it any easier for him. Durant has "stood around" his whole career. It's big problem with players in NBA and OKc coaching taught all three of their stars bad habits

They can't stop Jokic or anyone else on the nuggetts. The whole team just run wild and scores consistently!!! Go Denver Nuggetts soon to be Champions 2023 with a 3 -1 lead against that scary Heat team👍💯
It's crazy watching an offense ran by Jokić with his teammates standing by the 3 point line versus watching a LeBron lead offense with his teammates standing by the 3‼️💯💯
@@jqualls7901 he objectively can. He’s one of the clutches guys in league history when you look at the facts instead of narratives Kobe literally blew a 3-1 lead and single handily stopped his team from winning in 04 from chasing a finals mvp with a top 3 peak Shaq on his team. MJ is more clutch but you will never see a dude smoke so many open clutch lay ups and just open shots in general like 3s and midranges
Sincerely, even I like the Heat team very much; I was surprised that they won 1 game; it seemed that Denver would win in 4. Now it looks like in 5, but let's see.
Most important win in franchise history, and I'm glad AG was the one showing out. Nuggets are just too good and they're dangerous on both sides offense and defense
Its hard to stop players like Jokic and curry because how quick they adapt to the situations, plus in their mind its all about ART.... so gotta be creative.
This just in .... Kendric Perkins awarded the Most Valuable Analyst award for the 2022-2023 season. He beat season long favorite J.J. Reddic after bringing to light that the previous 172 winners were all white.
Jokic is the best offensive engine in the game, murray gives them the best two-man game in the league, Gordon gives them a sure play finisher, role players like kcp and brown are must keeps; but I think the nuggets should move on from MPJ. Give another team a chance to develop him and get another role player that can do what mpj does more effectively, and most importantly a bonafide defensive minded PF/C to back up Jokic just in case they run into Giannis in the finals.
I need to see Giannis vs Jokic in the Finals. Only team I think can slow down a bit this crazy offense (With some small changes in the roster and a better couch). Giannis is the only player I know can guard the ball handler and rolling man in a pick and roll at the same time. Dude left me speechless in his finals run and I won't forget it despite this year upset, so I really really really wish I could see these two face off. It would be crazy might even try to attempt to get a ticket and a plane to another country just to see them
Coach Spo is out of adjustments, there just really isn't anything the heat can do to stop the nuggets and its starting to really show now, this series ends on monday
Jimmy JORDAN and the heat are a great story but talent and good coaching wins. Good breakdown showing something every nba team can do yet few choose to do, cut
Great analysis as always! Seems that Denver has Miami over-pursuing so that the double- or triple-teamed guy finds the open man. Can't see that changing in Game 5!
Amen! If Denver wasn't playing a great team, a win for them wouldn't mean nearly as much a it does regardless of it being a first for the organization. Miami showed they deserved to be there in the Finals. No sweep, no blowouts, no quitting. Respect to the Heat win or lose! 💯
Before he even starts….because Miami’s defense is predicated on collapsing into the paint and causing turnovers. But Jolie is too good a passer. 🤷🏾♂️ Now let me see if I’m right.
you can clearly tell nuggets getting better each game breaking down defense. of course it is easier with murray and jokic but good coaching shows big time with nuggets. unlike the suns and celtics that had no variety plays. iso iso iso iso iso oh~ somebody open ?? pass the ball.
The athlete that most reminds me of Jokic is Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky dominated the rink for the same reason Jokic rules the court--supernatural vision and the ability to track all those bodies in motion, to know not only where everyone else is but where they are going to be.
To me, there's no stopping this team unless you got two things: 1. One on one good match ups so you rarely double the stars 2. A crazy offense that can outscore the Nuggets cause you ain't stopping them Sadly the Heat has neither so this is a wrap. Great run tho, would've love to see it go to 7
when Heat won second game, all narrative was like aaaaa Heat in 6, aaaaa Heat defence made difference and coach Spo is genius (he is to be honest). But Nuggets figure it out unlike Lakers

Jokic is the best offensive engine in the game, murray gives them the best two-man game in the league, Gordon gives them a sure play finisher, role players like kcp and brown are must keeps; but I think the nuggets should move on from MPJ. Give another team a chance to develop him and get another role player that can do what mpj does more effectively, and most importantly a bonafide defensive minded PF/C to back up Jokic just in case they run into Giannis in the finals.
I'm so happy for Denver man
Jokic's passing is clearly Handball experience to me
I just wanna see MJP have one good finals game- let him be the top scorer in the next and last game please!
I need to see Giannis vs Jokic in the Finals. Only team I think can slow down a bit this crazy offense (With some small changes in the roster and a better couch).
Giannis is the only player I know can guard the ball handler and rolling man in a pick and roll at the same time. Dude left me speechless in his finals run and I won't forget it despite this year upset, so I really really really wish I could see these two face off. It would be crazy might even try to attempt to get a ticket and a plane to another country just to see them
Maybe you'll get your chance next year

Both were great
Surprised your title's focus is on the nuggets now
It’s beautiful.
This is beautiful basketball
Coach Spo is out of adjustments, there just really isn't anything the heat can do to stop the nuggets and its starting to really show now, this series ends on monday
The only team that could challenge this team is the 2019 raptors honestly
😂😂😂😂😂
@@jogendron6320 I am a celtics fan, and its very true
Jimmy JORDAN and the heat are a great story but talent and good coaching wins. Good breakdown showing something every nba team can do yet few choose to do, cut
Ok, I was wrong….sort of. 🤷🏾♂️😂🤣
That passing mentality originates and is encouraged through Jok himself
Coach i see your play there at the end, alluding to Loves 3-1 comeback not gonna happen!
Such beautiful, versatile offense. They can destroy you in so many ways
Great analysis as always! Seems that Denver has Miami over-pursuing so that the double- or triple-teamed guy finds the open man. Can't see that changing in Game 5!
AG and MPJ are definitely the X factors for the nuggets
MPJ has been a no show for these finals. However, he played a Lil bit better in game 4.
Murray initiates everything
Jokić is a force
Cutting edge Mile High Basketball 🏀
Gordon is freakin massive. Lebron looked small next to him.
We're seeing a new legend here that can be bigger than our last generation but it sad to see how the media is responding to his talent.
Heat been playing jokic and Murray like they’re Tatum and Brown
how about a before and after for AA-ron Gordon
"Can't" is a strong word. Should be more like why its "difficult" to stop their offense
LOL COPE -- ITS OVER FOR THE HEAT
Jimmy, we’re sorry for you. I promise that’s for character development.🙏🏽
Amen! If Denver wasn't playing a great team, a win for them wouldn't mean nearly as much a it does regardless of it being a first for the organization. Miami showed they deserved to be there in the Finals. No sweep, no blowouts, no quitting. Respect to the Heat win or lose! 💯
its unfortunate how much hate and ego comes from sports fans. both these teams worked very hard to get here and i love them both
@@Dan__W even if we loose the heat will come with vengeance next year agains then in the finals but I see jimmy will get better player
@@JikooFD its mostly with the NBA , on how they behave and act
I wonder what was jimmy thinking when he told Adebayo he holds the other one 🤔
The only way to stop them is making a super team with Steph, Luka, KD, Lebron, and Giannis.😅
KD and lebron? Stop. There's only one ball and Steph and Luka gonna use almost all the possessions.
how would those 5 guys have the defensive skills to stop the nuggets offense?
Before he even starts….because Miami’s defense is predicated on collapsing into the paint and causing turnovers. But Jolie is too good a passer. 🤷🏾♂️ Now let me see if I’m right.
you can clearly tell nuggets getting better each game breaking down defense. of course it is easier with murray and jokic but good coaching shows big time with nuggets. unlike the suns and celtics that had no variety plays. iso iso iso iso iso oh~ somebody open ?? pass the ball.
Couldn't help notice mpj in those clips seem uninterested
The athlete that most reminds me of Jokic is Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky dominated the rink for the same reason Jokic rules the court--supernatural vision and the ability to track all those bodies in motion, to know not only where everyone else is but where they are going to be.
To me, there's no stopping this team unless you got two things:
1. One on one good match ups so you rarely double the stars
2. A crazy offense that can outscore the Nuggets cause you ain't stopping them
Sadly the Heat has neither so this is a wrap. Great run tho, would've love to see it go to 7
when Heat won second game, all narrative was like aaaaa Heat in 6, aaaaa Heat defence made difference and coach Spo is genius (he is to be honest). But Nuggets figure it out unlike Lakers
