I think Gobert gets saved because he was actually trying to break it up.


The biggest culprit is Joker tbh. I mean it’s Jaden but he didnt do anything illegal in the rules.

It’s a bunch of nothing. This is the kind of crap that would make the haters call the league soft all over again. Hand out some fines and that’s it.

Nope 298 teams have been in a 3-1 situation in the NBA playoffs.
285 have gone on to win at 95.6%
13 have recovered at 4.4 %
You might be thinking of all sports, which might be 61%, but not in the NBA playoffs.

I am telling about the vegas odds.

They still have den 39% to win the series

I love Jokic the player but that was an embarrassing lowlight. That's not how you respond to getting your ass kicked. Scrubs and enforcers do it that way and not MVP caliber players.

If the NBA suspends Gobert, they ought suspend Jokic too for the sake of parity.

Yeah, it's illustrative here. Shaq is a total dumb fuck but Barkley is a guy who is very tuned into how this stuff works.

Shaq would want to embarrass their opponent at their home in front of their family, in front of their mom, their girlfriend

Why did mcdaniels still scored that lay up when the game is already over in the first place.? Very unsportsman like move.

Sucks that injury to Edwards looks brutal

Rewatching it again and I’d be shocked if he’s back to play in Round 2. Looks like a minimum 4-6 weeks.

Didn't the nuggets try a three right before that they could have dribbled it out.

Why? Only one of them violated the rule. It doesn't matter if you step on the court to try to break it up. The rule is that you don't step on the court. Patrick Ewing got suspended from a game for stepping over the line. The precedent has been set. If you step over the line, it's an automatic suspension. If the NBA doesn't suspend anybody that violated that rule, then they're spitting in the face of all the other guys that got suspended for that rule, including Boris Diaw.

Conversations about unspoken rules are pointless. There are people who get it, who are the people who are actually involved, and there are people like you. I'm not saying Joker acted appropriately, but McDaniels did it deliberately and they all know it.

The best way to stop him would be to win the game. Winning feels good and losing feels bad. If Jokic doesn't like opponents scoring on his basket, he should take care of that problem within the game itself rather than adding an extra layer of morality outside of it.

Use it as motivation to do better next time.

Nuggets took a shot down 14 with 11 seconds left, it's their own fault for not dribbling it out.

Didnt see that. I just watched the highlights. My bad
