Murray was missing, it was like a ghost of Murray was playing.
Not a Nuggets or Timberwolves fan but I’ve been watching Denver closely the last 2-3 seasons. Jokic is going to have an exhausting series going up against the Timberwolves size, length and versatile defenders. If Jamal Murray isn’t healthy and play more efficiently it will be an easy series win for the Timberwolves. Mike Malone needs to go with bigger lineups either using Deandre Jordan or Zeke Nanji.
Jamal Murray is getting hunted on defense.
Way to become an analyst. except, that was Barkley's and Kenny smith's analysis
Not even. They bench have to step up this round. Last round they starting five did it. It won’t be enough this round. Jokic had 30+ points first game.
Here are the best players in the series ranked in order
1. Jokic (Den)
2. Ant (Min)
3. Kat (Min)
4. Gobert (Min)
5 Porter Jr (Den)
6. Naz Reid (Min)
7. Murray (Den)
8. Conley (Min)
9. McDaniels (Min)
10. Gordon (Den)
11. Walker (Min)
12. Kcp (Den)
An injured Jamal is as good as Mike Conley. Most of the best players in the series are in Minnesota. Thats why they are the better team than Denver.
Minnesota has multiple players that can guard Jokic. Denver has no one to guard Ant because Kcp is too small. That's why Bruce Brown was needed last year. He guarded ant, Jimmy Butler and similar wings.
Murray is injured
One of these teams is the champion.
He said great game 1. how did everything look on the floor from your perspective 2. Whata re you going to change for the next game and do you see this loss as a huge defeat or just a one in 7 loss.
They're getting better at pronouncing he's name
I think they will forever put the emphasis on the "o" of Nikola in the US.
Miroslav effect
No guile in this fellow. Refreshing.
No blame casting, no bs remedies, (almost) no loss of patience with the questions.
I agree, very good basketball was played.
I was thinking the same exact thing that Jokic says here. Edwards to me after Jokic is the best pure shooter on this series. Edwards moves and adjustments while shooting reminds me so much of Michael Jordan. The only other player that has reminded me of Jordan after Air retired has been Steph Curry as a shooter. So, Edwards in my opinion if he stays healthy will easily reach the top eight in all time scorers. Even the way he moves his feet to find an opening is really impressive. Edwards understands how to play and understands how to adjust to the defense. That's coming from me, a guy that has SEEN play live Jordan, Magic, Curry, Isaiah Thomas, Bird, LeBron Dr. J and Dominique Wilkins.
He could lowkey do ASMR 😂
Can someone please translate the question in Serbian?
Reporter: Nikola, your game was excellent, 32points, 8rebounds, 9assists, how did you enjoy playing it there on the court, how were things for you?
Nikola: I think it was a great game, it was interesting, both teams had good periods, 3rd quarter was equal the whole time, then in 4th quarter they made the score difference / lead and that's how they won the game. They have a great team both defensively and offensively, so we hope that we will play a lot better in the next game
Reporter: (What will you prepare differently for next time ?) and do you experience this as some kind of a big defeat or just like 1 out of 7 games
Nikola: I think 1 out of 7 games is something people who lose say, those who win don't say it like that, I would love it if we won and that they said it's just 1 out of 7 games. We will see, we need to play better defensively, they scored easily on us in 2nd half-time, that's all I can say for now
? - not sure I understood the question in Serbian
In short, reporter praised Jokic performance tonight and asks how Nikola feels about tonight's game. Jokic responded that it was an interesting and great game, then proceeds to explain by quarters.
@@kimnovak93 Reporter: Nikola, igra ti je bila odlična, 32 poena, 8 skokova, 9 asistencija, kako ti je bilo na terenu, kako ti je bilo?
Nikola: Mislim da je to bila odlična utakmica, bilo je zanimljivo, obe ekipe su imale dobre periode, 3. četvrtina je bila celo vreme izjednačena, onda su u 4. četvrtini napravili rezultatsku razliku / vodstvo i tako su dobili utakmicu. Imaju odličnu ekipu i obrambeno i napadački pa se nadamo da ćemo u sledećoj utakmici igrati puno bolje
Novinar: (Što ćete drugačije pripremiti za sledeći put?) i doživljavate li ovo kao neki veliki poraz ili kao 1 od 7 utakmica
Nikola: Mislim da je 1 od 7 utakmica nešto što kažu ljudi koji gube, oni koji pobeđuju ne govore tako, volio bih da smo pobedili i da su rekli da je to samo 1 od 7 utakmica. Videt ćemo, trebamo igrati bolje obrambeno, lako su nam zabili u 2. poluvremenu, to je sve što mogu reći za sada.
Minnesota has 5 ol satr players and here only Jokic, Jokic can't play alone and drag that fool Murray!
Jokic is The Timberwolves Biggest Cheerleader 🤤🎉 He Probably Forgot Which Team he plays for !!! 😂
respects the competition, that’s how you know Jokic will win this series
The vibe I got was that Jokic wasn't unhappy with the game. Not because he's happy with the loss but because he thinks it's unlikely that the Timberwolves can show this 4 times.
This guy seems not worry at all
That’s just jokic he acts like this in every interview
He just do this has a job he really don’t care, he wanna go home to horse race 😂
@@andremax4947 you're a casual if you think that
@@derek8315lmao
@@derek8315he literally said what Andre said verbatim 😂 you’re a casual if you think jokic actually cares about basketball
Box out and hit your easy looks
T-Wolves played about as good as they can, Nuggets did not. Pretty simple.
Sounds like something a Denver fan would say. You don’t know ball
yea that sums it up, Edwards pulled a career high and the whole bench was on fire, meanwhile Murry's double played the first half and Jokic lost more balls in one games than in the whole season, both teams were tied up the last quarter, seeing all these things it just convices you more that Nuggets are favorite to go through
@@FrenxGames Nuggets had more threes, more free throws, and more points off turnovers. And the wolves still won. Neither team played their best basketball.
@@jacksamuelson2267But you do….
@FrenxGames nobody on minnesota had more than 2 points at half other than Kat and Ant. If you think that's the best minnesota can play you haven't been paying attention.
If loses don’t motivate Jok then how about this Jok. If the TWolves win on Monday they’re taking your horses away.
Uh, no, they’re not.
@@jameslee1062 literally they’re not. It’s slightly joking but also frustration the nuggets don’t seem to care right now.
Sempre bravo nikola jokic ma la squadra talvolta ha problemi.
The team stinks
This game proved that the entire Wolves team is relying completely on Ant to score big. Town and Golbert are not that dangerous.
I mean he’s there superstar ofc they expect him to score big not relying game 3 of the summer series ant didn’t play like he play for the other 3 games and they won just fine
In fact he’s was on the bench for some of the 4th because the role players was playing well
Town and Golbert
no suit = no win
Marray 2/4 =0
Michael Jordan coming
Na zalost
I think this guy wants to go home already
Wasn't really a fantastic game to watch as a Denver fan. You all played shit.
Im proud of MPJ
The guy showing out this year
@@BEAzy90s Should of gone to him more 100%.
@@ljubomirarsic4867 Yea the kid has a hot hand rn
nuggets beat no 50 win team in playoffs last 2 years. first real team they faced.
Lol because last season the Grizzlies and the Kings were nb 2 and nb 3 seed and 2 seasons ago they beat the Suns that were 1st seed.
Pathetic they can't stop one guy
Nuggets are losing this series, Timberwolves are just a better team both offensively and defensively.The Timberwolves are going to hit the breaks when they come against the Celtics in the finals!.The Celtics are the only team able to neutralize Edwards!
Spoken like someone who hasn't watched the Nuggets all year. Wolves are playing great. Ant won't get over 40 every game. Looking forward to a competitive matchup!
Celtics always choke , they are great during regular season but when it comes to playoffs , they pack their bags and go home. So if wolves win this series , Edwards just might get his first ring
Nuggets in 6.
I think the winner of this series is the champion. I don't see Boston beating either team in 7. And I don't see any other team taking one of these two teams to 7 in the first place.
They will never shoot almost 80% in a quarter again.
Jokiću otarasi se Mareja jako puno šteti tvojoj karijeri . Za tu lovu koju su dali njemu mogao si da dobiješ pravu zvijezdu a ne tog foliranta .
Bravo za komentar, 100% se slazem!!! Pravi folirant!!!
Ne znam koliko pratiš, ali Marej zapravo čini Jokića boljim, godinama. I ovaj njega naravno. Gledanje njihovog pik en rola je poezija. Dečko je (uglavnom) nesebičan, izvukao je denver nebrojeno puta i igra solidnu odbranu. Sad pošto su ovi dali sve što su bacili(i cigla bi upala u koš) i igrali odbranu na granici faula - drvlje i kamenje po liku koji, zaboga, nije uspeo da uradi isto(ovog puta). Problem je što denver iz nekog(verovatno maloumnog) razloga izbegava nekoliko godina da dovede solidnog, rezervnog odbrambenog visokog igrača(poput Plamlija ili Granta što su imali. Gordon jeste dobar i hoće ali je nizak u ondosu na većinu krilnih centara. I onda kad ti se pojave ovi balvani sa 3 centra u postavi - kara banana) - ovi mogu lagano da počiste denver zbog toga
