@SamQuinnCBS Lmao nah give it up. Dude is going to be stuck at 4 rings into retirement unless he gets himself on OKC or San Antonio

I get JDub is the OKC player best suited to actually guard LeBron, but a 41-year-old doing this against the rest of this defense is still bonkers and an indication to the whole league that if you want to compete with OKC next year, it'd probably be nice to have him on your team.

@BiasedHouston Only the best are hated

Jamal Murray watching the entire world slander Nikola Jokic instead of him

@HanaHoops Easy in the east if you’re a superstar

LeBron had everyone thinking 8 straight finals appearances was easy meanwhile a current 3x MVP just got bounced in the first round again

@SamQuinnCBS 3x mvp and a ring, way way different than dirk

Reminds me a bit of Dirk in 07 with the We Believe Warriors loss. Jokic obviously already has a ring, but a similar low point where people are going to start questioning him more aggressively than they ever have.

@GoldenKnightGFX Nah Kobe got unfairly criticized for series just like this when his teammates let him down

Stop putting Nikola Jokic in Kobe Bryant convos. I don’t wanna hear it ever again.

@Carsobi No team aside from OKC and San Antonio are contending for a while tbf

What an embarrassing series loss for the Nuggets. Athletically manhandled by a team without 3 of their Top 7 players. Murray was a complete disaster on both ends tonight and bad in the series. Jokic was awful in Games 2-4. They aren't particularly close to contending.

@BiasedHouston Hakeem played against plumbers

They tried to say #he was better than Hakeem Olajuwon.

@bwags Nah people just point to lebrons stat line when he loses in the playoffs. Shouldn’t be any different here

Jokic losing a 3 vs. 6 seed first round series against an opponent who’s down their best player and another top five player is something they would’ve put LeBron in a gulag for in the 2010s. Just crazy

@WorldWideWob It’s Wemby and we’re dumb to pretend otherwise

Jokic has been impeached and removed as the consensus Best Player In The World. Primaries for his successor begin Round 2.

@SamQuinnCBS Jamal no show was a tough watch

Rudy Gobert legacy series. Jaden McDaniels arrival series. The conversation about this series is going to center on Denver. There's obviously a lot to be said there. But this was only possible because those two guys specifically kicked Denver's ass.

@JustEsBaraheni Murray man, tough tough look

Disastrous end to the season for the Nuggets. Thought they had a real chance to make it to the Finals. Turns out that you can’t become a good defense on the fly. Injuries obviously hurt them but basically no excuse losing this series with the Wolves hurt. What do they do next?

@mdotbrown I dunno man this reminds me of Kobe getting criticized because he couldn’t win when his teammates let him down

I don’t ever wanna hear about that team again and that man can cure cancer I’m still bringing this up FOREVER.

@JoshEberley you must mean Murray right?

The most damning chapter in the book of Jokic

@JonesOnTheNBA @mdotbrown 100%

@mdotbrown Jokic is basically if LeBron never left the Cavs the first time. The way LeBron was judged for not winning with the roster he had at that time. That’s why LeBron dipped out.

Denver loses this game and the Jokic hate is gonna go crazy lol

@Three_Cone the WCF was always going to be the real finals, but especially now

What if this is the year Philly makes the run

@WorldWideWob You think Bron gonna be the first to lose after being up 3-0?

OKC should have to win 6 games next round to make it fair.

@NekiasNBA Why do they keep giving Amen the ball when he’s a terrible FT shooter

WHY ON EARTH DID TARI GO UP WITH THAT???

@RussFcb Dude really is the chosen one

Son if OKC gets past the Lakers and we face The Spurs, that Shai vs Wemby series is gonna turn into Avengers Doomsday on here with the engagement I'm seeing from this post

@mcten In how many games for each?

Some more playoff history for LeBron James: With his first steal tonight, he reached 500 for his postseason career. He's in 1st place all-time, followed by Scottie Pippen (395) and Michael Jordan (376)

@allinyomouf223 @KarimElNemr3 @MIK3MCDANIEL If shai missed the rest of the playoffs this okc team would easily win this years finals…if Wemby didn’t exist obv

@KarimElNemr3 @MIK3MCDANIEL Nah but if OKC is some how able to keep the roster together it’s possible. OKC isn’t winning 55 games without shai like the bulls did when MJ played baseball

this a low bar ngl we coming for 23 in Chicago
