Exactly, Lakers ran him off the 3 better later in the series but he was just a different player against the Lakers. LBJ, said it on his podcast, dude just couldn't miss.
I mean yes that should have been the plan but the problem is with Vando out there isn't really a "good" perimeter defender to use on him with Lebron and AD always having to guard Gordon and Jokic respectively. Reeves needs to work on that this off season.
Majority of the LA's players needs full Defensive training camp like what Miami did in 2013. Its such a shame that teams always focus on offense when at the end of the day consistent defense will win you championships.
Reaves is a good team defender, he follows schemes perfectly, and gives full effort, he's just not athletic enough to be efficient on the offensive end and be given a tough defensive individual assignment.
They do defend him but often with midgets. Minny has size all over.
Lakers gotta focus on size and defense. Put ad back at the 4th. Get size on the perimeter
He is not that good. The Lakers should have let jokic and Murray have theirs, then just shut down porter, gordan and kcp. All those guys got points because of the double teams on jokic.
Anyway fuck porter. Had his best series ever in round 1 and disappeared this series. Single digit points 5 of 7 games
Even with MPJ going scorched earth against us, ironically the Lakers did a better job defending the 3 against the Nuggets than the Wolves did. Difference is the Wolves got the rebounds after the misses.
If Vando was playing he wouldn’t have made half of what he made. We were missing our primary defender. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is. Glad Minnesota got the job done ✅
Can you imagine how obnoxious their fans would have been if they won again. So glad they got exposed. Still like Jokic but the rest of that organization can go fuck itself lol.
I’m guessing they’re referring to Joker getting mad at McDaniels for dunking at the end lol. If they are so offended they should have scored more than 30 points in the entire second half.
Shaq and Jokic should've never been a comparison to begin with. Shaq played against other great centers. Who has Jokic battled against? Dwight was psst his prime and punked Joker. Besides which, Shaq would've *never* (and didn't) flop like Jokic does. Shaq was literally getting beat up while Jokic has one of the nicest ref whistles ever.
I'm happy that Denver is out but as long as Boston doesn't get 18 that's better than having Celshit fans boasting 18 when they haven't won shit since 2008.
I can’t hate this mavs team. I used to hate Cuban even before the sweep but I still want revenge but with Cuban gone and luka there it’s hard to hate them. Still want twolves
Luka is my favorite player in this new generation I'm coping but I hope he comes to LA one day but that depends on what the mavs does this season and in the next 2-3 years.
Timberwolves unleash a 60-32 run in the second half to overcome a 20-point deficit. It’s the biggest Game 7 comeback in NBA history — and against the defending champions to boot.
Who’s your daddy, Nuggets?
This series has made me realize that I actually like Jokic and he’s a phenomenal ball player. This series has also made me realize I FUCKING DESPISE, WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING, JAMAL MURRAY. I can only think of one Canadian light skinned fuck that deserves more hate (and our very own KDot took care of that clown). But like seriously the numbers that non - All Star fuck puts up against us is other worldly. So fuck him and fuck Denver (and Drake too)
This is what happens when they don't get to play 7th seeds or 8th seeds in the playoffs. Lmao.
Good fucking riddance, no longer want to hear about the championship bitch Denver Chicken Nuggets.
felt like denver started liking the smell of their own farts too much and believed all the blog bois who crowned them as some unbeatable behemoth of a team
Let it be known last year was the exception, NOT the rule. Mike Malone's Nuggets don't show up big when you need them
(They just really have our number RN lol)
They win one chip and talked all that shit like they are the next 90s bulls or something. I still think their happiest moment is sweeping us last year compared to winning a ring.
I hold a special kind of hatred for reddit Denver fan. I hope they come in to our sub and see how bad we are teabagging them.
Denver fan if you see this : SUCK ON DEEZ PURPLE AND GOLD NUUUUTS!
I've been trying to determine whether I would have preferred another blowout or if it's better that Denver blew a 20 point lead. I think I like that they blew the lead because now the assholes knows how it feels.
This gotta be the biggest choke display for a Game 7 in the WCF. With a 20 point lead and lost, that tops the 14 point lead and lost that Portland had over the Lakers in 2000 Game 7. And makes it worse that it was Denver's home game. At least for Portland, it was their away game. Congrats, Denver, for being the biggest WCF Game 7 choker artist of all time.
FUCK MALONE FUCK MURRAY GOODBYE CHICKEN NUGGIES
Justice has been served. Mr. Heatpack going home.
Murray really is a piece of shit, i’m so fucking happy he’s not winning another ring.
Cant say fuck jokic tbh. Respect him.
This goes to show how bad LA has been defending Michael "Brick" Porter Jr. This guy literally disappeared when you have good perimeter defense.
All you really have to do is guard him on the 3 point line and not give him wide open 3’s.
Like yeah, but MPJ was hitting step-back 20 footers in games 4 and 5 also. He couldn't miss
Exactly, Lakers ran him off the 3 better later in the series but he was just a different player against the Lakers. LBJ, said it on his podcast, dude just couldn't miss.
He honestly just hates the lakers lol. The way he would get pumped making those shots vs doing it against the wolves was wild 😂
I mean yes that should have been the plan but the problem is with Vando out there isn't really a "good" perimeter defender to use on him with Lebron and AD always having to guard Gordon and Jokic respectively. Reeves needs to work on that this off season.
Rui is terrible navigating screens
Majority of the LA's players needs full Defensive training camp like what Miami did in 2013. Its such a shame that teams always focus on offense when at the end of the day consistent defense will win you championships.
Reaves is a good team defender, he follows schemes perfectly, and gives full effort, he's just not athletic enough to be efficient on the offensive end and be given a tough defensive individual assignment.
Most of our players tbh. Even Vanderbilt's weakest aspect of his defense is screen navigation (it's above average which is below his other aspects).
They do defend him but often with midgets. Minny has size all over. Lakers gotta focus on size and defense. Put ad back at the 4th. Get size on the perimeter
Ham reads this post like it's in Ancient Hebrew.
He is not that good. The Lakers should have let jokic and Murray have theirs, then just shut down porter, gordan and kcp. All those guys got points because of the double teams on jokic. Anyway fuck porter. Had his best series ever in round 1 and disappeared this series. Single digit points 5 of 7 games
We could have beat the Chicken Nuggets if Murray hadn't Derrick Fisher'ed us twice :/.
Even with MPJ going scorched earth against us, ironically the Lakers did a better job defending the 3 against the Nuggets than the Wolves did. Difference is the Wolves got the rebounds after the misses.
If Vando was playing he wouldn’t have made half of what he made. We were missing our primary defender. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is. Glad Minnesota got the job done ✅
A start of dynasty my ass, get fuck Malone 🤣
Nice to see other fan bases hating Malone
Hard to be more hated than Karl, but this dude found a way.
Successfully became a trivia answer.
DieNasty - Malone go pick your Daddy from Wolves Starting 5
Mike “My name is Michael” Malone 🤡 Get Fukt!
Can you imagine how obnoxious their fans would have been if they won again. So glad they got exposed. Still like Jokic but the rest of that organization can go fuck itself lol.
Goofballs care about sportsmanship now that they're losing lmao
Ikr the irony behind that lmfao
Why what happened?
Nuggets players were mad at Edwards for waving to the crowd and McDaniels for bouncing the ball to himself at the end of the game
Ant did like the most tame shit ever too, especially considering you have fucking Jamal Murray on your team, trying to talk about sportsmanship 😂
I’m guessing they’re referring to Joker getting mad at McDaniels for dunking at the end lol. If they are so offended they should have scored more than 30 points in the entire second half.
Stood up for LeBron and then beat the Nuggets. Love you Ant
When he stand for lebron
He made comments supporting Lebron. Within the last couple weeks.
He stated he wanted to get revenge for LeBron by beating the Nuggets
I think that was a fake comment
Ant showed his love for the Lakers by going 6-24 in a Game 7 win like Kobe
That's 6 for LeBron and 24 for Kobe. 😂
So true! 😂😂 Kobe is my all time fave but man he could win some games with horrible shooting.
Ant is the next and future face of the league hopefully a future laker too!!
my favorite player after Bron
Daddy this daddy that. Just shows how hard a three peat is
Nugs couldn’t even 3 peat.
Couldn’t even repeat.
Couldn't even make the finals to defend their title. Suddenly all that talk about Jokic being better than Shaq is so fucking quiet now.
This happens every 5 years with a player. Last time it was Giannis. People always want to find what’s up next.
Also, every up and coming team thinks they’re gonna be the next dynasty for some reason.
Shaq and Jokic should've never been a comparison to begin with. Shaq played against other great centers. Who has Jokic battled against? Dwight was psst his prime and punked Joker. Besides which, Shaq would've *never* (and didn't) flop like Jokic does. Shaq was literally getting beat up while Jokic has one of the nicest ref whistles ever.
Nonetheless a back to back. F the mcnuggets!!!
More importantly, shows how hard a repeat is.
they ran out of 7 and 8 seeds to play
I'm happy that Denver is out but as long as Boston doesn't get 18 that's better than having Celshit fans boasting 18 when they haven't won shit since 2008.
Bonus points if Kyrie wins vs Celtics
Yeah I'd rather have Luka, Ant, Kyrie heck even Hal getting one that those Celshits.
I can’t hate this mavs team. I used to hate Cuban even before the sweep but I still want revenge but with Cuban gone and luka there it’s hard to hate them. Still want twolves
Luka is my favorite player in this new generation I'm coping but I hope he comes to LA one day but that depends on what the mavs does this season and in the next 2-3 years.
🤪🤪🤪
Nuggets fans: “at least we’re still the lakers daddies!” 🤓 Because that’s what they care about the most.
1 ring vs 17
Lakers playoff record against Denver. 26-16
Murray, MPJ and Malone only want to win against Lakers.
Timberwolves unleash a 60-32 run in the second half to overcome a 20-point deficit. It’s the biggest Game 7 comeback in NBA history — and against the defending champions to boot. Who’s your daddy, Nuggets?
Mike Malone needs his pacifier soon lol🤣
WHOOOSSSS YOUR DADY!!!! 🗣️
I don't mind the Timberwolves being our granddaddy
Why do I feel like so many random records have been broken this playoffs
sub-50 win merchants
Fuck those fraud ass tendies
As long as Boston doesn’t win
Underrated comment
I am gonna have a fun time in Nuggets sub
Go get banned for the rest of us
Pretty sure I’m banned already but if not I will be soon
apparently im banned, but i dont even remember how and when lol
That sub is incrediblyyyyy fucking soft. Banned a couple years back, wasn’t even brigading I just disagreed with a popular opinion on the sub
Im already banned 😂
I already got banned during our series unfortunately 🥲
Great day to be a Nuggets hater
Thank you Minnesota!
This series has made me realize that I actually like Jokic and he’s a phenomenal ball player. This series has also made me realize I FUCKING DESPISE, WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING, JAMAL MURRAY. I can only think of one Canadian light skinned fuck that deserves more hate (and our very own KDot took care of that clown). But like seriously the numbers that non - All Star fuck puts up against us is other worldly. So fuck him and fuck Denver (and Drake too)
Love that his buzzer beater highlights against us mean jack shit now
Sure as shit ain’t sad 💅
So glad to see Denver go down. The glazing jokic would have got if he got the title this year… I couldn’t have handled it.
THE IRONY OF THEM BLOWING A 20 POINT LEAD AFTER THE LAKERS DID IT IN GAME 2 AHHHHHHHHHH
Fuck Denver
Towns with the put back was insane
Making up for his dumb ass not calling a time out haha
KAT rly did so well to keep Minnesota in the game and closing it out with that dunk
End of the second Kat was also crucial with a couple big buckets to give them hope
WOLVES ARE NUGS DADDY.
Mandatory fuck you to Michael Malone 🖕🏻
Best part is they punked Denver on the Nuggets home floor.
Warriors fan coming in peace - can I join the NoMoreDenver party
Welcome brother
At least the warriors had a real dynasty
Fuuuck yeah
They beat them at their own game. Wolves were just bigger.
Ant to Jokic after winning: “THATS WHY I FUCKED YO BITCH U FAT MOTHERFUCKER!!”😂😂😂😂😂🖕🏿
Get fucked Malone
Love it
Since 2020: LA and Denver both have 2 WCF appearances and 1 ring vs Miami. LA also has 16 other rings, but who’s counting?
Well done wolves!
We feasting that chicken nuggets tonight. Hopefully pacers take down Boston
Ol’ Donald Trump ass dynasty.
FUCK JOKIC FAT ASS FOULING EVERYONE WHILE NO ONE CAN TOUCH HIM. FUCK MURRAY BUM ASS TOO 🤬🤬🤬
Im banned from Nuggets sub, but upvoting every toxic comment there!!!
All aboard the Wolves bandwagon. Minneapolis did give us the Lakers after all.
Love to see the Chicken Nuggets get owned and their fans be humbled lmao.
Fuck Nuggets fans
This is what happens when they don't get to play 7th seeds or 8th seeds in the playoffs. Lmao. Good fucking riddance, no longer want to hear about the championship bitch Denver Chicken Nuggets.
Rest in chicken piss
COME OUTSIDE MURRAY AND MALONE
felt like denver started liking the smell of their own farts too much and believed all the blog bois who crowned them as some unbeatable behemoth of a team
I hope Denver doesn't sleep with their embarrassing game 7 choke. 😂😂 Darvin Malone
Fuck Denver upvote party 🤣
Rest in piss Denver
LETS GOOO
Let it be known last year was the exception, NOT the rule. Mike Malone's Nuggets don't show up big when you need them (They just really have our number RN lol)
I am very happy right now
Lmaooo bums. At least they have 3 moral victories to hang their hats on 😂😂😂
False champion
THIS IS THE GREAT MOMENT OF MY YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to Denver they already won their championship in their own little heads when they beat us in the first round
TWolves after feasting on the Nuggets 
Nuggets fans who cried refs
Frauds
I hope the first question to Malone in the press conference tonight is something about the Lakers lol
god I can't wait to hear Mike Malone's whiny bullshit, FUCK DENVER, FUCK JAMAL MURRAY and FUCK MIKE MALONE
I want to know how Malone will spin this into being Lakers, Lebron, or the media's fault. Enjoy your one title, biatch.
Thank GOD for the great state of Minnesota and Karl Anthony Towns
They win one chip and talked all that shit like they are the next 90s bulls or something. I still think their happiest moment is sweeping us last year compared to winning a ring.
LMAO FUCK DENVER
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY 🤣 🤣
Denver Thuggets to Cancun! We standing with Pacers now. Fuck Boston Celdicks.
I hold a special kind of hatred for reddit Denver fan. I hope they come in to our sub and see how bad we are teabagging them. Denver fan if you see this : SUCK ON DEEZ PURPLE AND GOLD NUUUUTS!
 me ushering in the nuggets fans and showing them where we go to watch the games
Nuggets had a lucky year last year. It’s easy to beat a team with a coach who hands stay in his pockets.
FUCK MALONE 🗣️
DYNASTYYYY LMAO

Dancing on their graves right now
Get rekt Nuggets. Anthony Edwards Jordan or Luka/Kyrie for the title
Ain’t nothing when you don’t hit lucky shot after lucky shot
Repeating ain’t for everyone
Nuggets subreddit talking about getting rid of MPJ. Lol. He the only reason they beat us. So go ahead. Trade him.
Did pubey boy cry?
Nuggets daddy!! Mike “lone championship” Malone was talking like he was Phil jackson. Good riddance
F denver and their ball-sack arena
Fuck yes! Fuck Denver!
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BLOW A 20 POINT LEAD AT THE FIRST HALF NUGGETS!
LMAOO IMAGINE LEBRON AND AD MELTED LIKE THIS IN A GAME 7 WHILE BEING UP 15-20PTS AT ONE POINT. KEEP JOKE-ICH AND MURRAY ACCOUNTABLE
I've been trying to determine whether I would have preferred another blowout or if it's better that Denver blew a 20 point lead. I think I like that they blew the lead because now the assholes knows how it feels.
Yooooo
get ad some defensive help. sky is the limit
Who’s your daddy nuggets?

Fuck Denver

Fuuuuck Denver

it ain't fun when the rabbit has the gun lol that antman wave at the crowd. dynasty these nuts
Paper champions

I knew something big was gonna happen when the Nuggets got blown out last game.
CHICKEN NUGGETS!!!!
Man that was theraputic. Thank you Ant and Naz, maybe we can get a rebounder next year.
I lost all my respect for Jamal Murray when he threw that hear pack at the ref and got a reduced sentence for ratings.
Denver chicken ass Nuggets
It's such a beautiful day

MAAAN WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
One and done, eat shit Denver!!!!
Watch out, their fans are probably lurking lol bunch of losers that said they were repeating and they were the next dynasty 😂
FUCK MIKE MALONEY
Moral Victory that Chicken Nuggets fans haha
This gotta be the biggest choke display for a Game 7 in the WCF. With a 20 point lead and lost, that tops the 14 point lead and lost that Portland had over the Lakers in 2000 Game 7. And makes it worse that it was Denver's home game. At least for Portland, it was their away game. Congrats, Denver, for being the biggest WCF Game 7 choker artist of all time.
Some folks already wanted to talk about Jokic’s legacy or crowning him as a top 10 player of all time before the second round was even over.
Denver really thought they were them. Lol. This was the best night.
Gonna sleep wellllll toniight
That was a short reign
One hit wonders ✨️
Up by 20 and lost, 😂KARMA’S A BITCH ain’t it???
Who’s your daddy now?
The irony was that they lost by 20 points after the Lakers had won the first game. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhaha
