    Now I want the media and all the old heads to have the same energy for the reining MVP losing a 20 point lead in a close out game as you did for the oldest player in the league.
  • "they got the MVP, but we got Jaden McDaniels" everyone laughed but Jaden McDaniels dropped 20+ on 7-10 shooting in game 7 ,😂
  • @tmc31390
    Stephen A was right about one thing — the most impressive thing about the Wolves pulling this off is… three of their four wins were in Denver, which is usually high altitude hell for opposing squads.

    Jokic wanted to throw hands after Rudy threw that bs up. I was crying, lmao
  • @JUSTJEREMY25
    I like how they keep forgetting how Naz Reid dominated
  • "i want to thank the Minnesota Timberwolves for helping me save face" 😂
  • @RomannValdes
    And the refs tried their hardest to give the game to the nuggets
  • @RomannValdes
    The disappointment on Stephen a face is why I’m here 😂😂
  • @jamesleroy8797
    "Worst prediction of my career" bro forgot he predicted the champs wrong from 2011 to 2016
  • @StickyIckyy5900
    Murray & Jokic used to going at teams with no guard and big play. Minnesota got allat and some.
  • @jaebass02
    Joker 35 will never be as dominating as a Shaq 35 just saying
  • @FreshBOI1579
    The problem here was that EVERYONE besides Jokic and Murray did NOTHING. Sooooooooo many WIDE OPEN shots missed over and over again
  • @robertrock16
    Wow… we can really see the jokic bias now. Now 3 time MVP would get a pass for blowing a 20 point lead. All I’m hearing about today is Knicks injuries and Minnesota defense😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️ but KD and Bron get slammed for days after they eliminated… smh
  • @Chapa-pa-pa
    Jamal Murray was too embarrassed to ask Ant for keys to unlock his handcuffs after the game.
  • @kennedybj1
    nobody mentioning the fact that the wolves were in the bonus for over half the 4th quarter..between stupid fouls and missed shots the Nuggets might as well have mailed that 4th quarter in
  • You’re up 20 and they’re best player shot 6-24. It’s clear they let Bruce brown and Jeff green go because they have to pay there starters and that’s there season.
