I have major respect for Denver. After game 3 I would have bet on a sweep. The Warriors came through in five, but the Nugs gave them all they could handle… especially that BEAST Jokic. Go Dubs, and Denver… you have nothin to hang your head about.
Warriors blew out Denver in first two games in SF, but all three of the next games could have gone either way. But the Nuggets just don't have any reliable 3-point shooters.
Respect to Jokic for a 30/19/8 game trying everything he could to save the Nuggets season.

Jokic has to be one of the most under appreciated superstars in NBA history. He’s a generational talent. Denver needs to take one more go at this Murray, Jokic, MPJ trio next year but if it doesn’t work get Jokic some better pieces!
Jokic is NOT a generational talent! Guys keep saying this but he’s really accomplished nothing to this point to indicate that he’s a generational talent! He might maybe possibly become (I doubt it) a generational talent but not yet…not even close!
lol generational? more like historic, look at that tap pass for moris 3p, how many players in history did those tap passes? In this last 10yrs answer is zero. Also Murray and MPJ are super stars only with paycheck
Nugget guards lost this one for Denver. For 3 quarters the Nuggets were playing deliberate basketball, slowing the game down, pounding the paint and attacking gsw bigs. Then the guards started shooting contested 3's, reckless drives and went away from their biggest advantage over the Warriors which is size. Coach also took Cousins out too early when he was obviously having a field day over Looney and Green.
Yeah, and as soon as he took Cousins out- Jokic picked up another foul stopping a Wiggins dunk cause someone went to sleep on defense. They should've just kept Boogie in until he missed at least.
What I notice from the warriors is they tend to turn it on and turn it off according to the situation. That's dangerous when you're up against a team that has their pedal on the gas down 20 or up 20.
That's because they rely too much on their outside shooting. If the outside shots aren't going in, then their offense is dead until their shooters find their rhythm. That's exactly what happened in 2019 playoffs after KD went down. They swept Portland in the WCF because they were up against an inconsistent offensive team, but struggled against the Raptors in the finals because Toronto was a team that could consistently produce offensively for 48 minutes.
Even tho this is the warriors big 3 the rest of the team besides looney is a new piece.. its gone take at least another full season to see this teams full potential.

Can't believe Barkley's surprise at Cousins never scoring 19 before. When Cousins was dominant, he never went to the playoffs, not even once. He didn't go to the playoffs until he joined the Warriors. He's started only 5 playoffs games in his career, and in one of them went out with an injury 4 minutes into the game. He's reached 20 minutes only twice.
True as a cousins fan I was so pumped to see him finally play in the playoffs with New Orleans with that emotion and passion that he plays with.. Then he gets hurt killed my spirit.
Cousins preferred to pump his chest and get into verbal spats with the commentator while allowing a 50 year old Duncan to get past him on defense, just to summarize why he never went to the playoffs during his prime.
He was the canary in the coal mine of what would eventually happen to all bigs. Unlike Embiid or Joker of today, he wasn’t offensively efficient enough to make up for how bad he was at guarding the 3 or the pick and roll.

Nobody besides GSW fans are going to acknowledge how clutch Steph was in this game. Yes GP2 hit two huge threes but Steph literally shot them back into the game in the 3rd quarter . Also he made two crucial lay ups. Imo Steph had a certain look in his eyes and demeanor this series . I love when he shoot’s the mid range bucket and goes for layups.
Jokic is a *LEGEND* We eliminated him but this man BALLED OUT. Crazy how much he played this series!! Also both Klay and Poole played badly tonight but maybe because curry started? So now they have to get used to that again?
Hey honestly it's not even that , they just didn't shoot as much , and Poole missed layups he would normally hit. It was a rough one for him but he will improve. And Klay well it was tough for him.

@@anthonytaylor7928 Well the Warriors game plan was to attack Jokic since he needs to assert most of his energy on the offensive end. The playoffs are all about matchups, Warriors have 4-5 players capable of hitting 20+. Can you say the same with the Nuggets? Demarcus Cousins was the 2nd leading scorer tonight and it was a CAREER high of 19
Love the Warriors, but the lack of size and rebounding is going to be the biggest problem for them. Both the Grizzlies and Wolves can cause them problems in these areas, especially the Grizz. Warriors can go deep, but the margin of error is very small.
Agreed. Although the Warriors win this game, you can see that they do not have a perfect line-up to balance everything. Fortunately, they got lots of time right now, they really need to think about how to manage the rotation in the next series with Curry back to be the starter.
i think kevon and adams is a great match unlike jokic vs looney. Then dray on jackson. I say rebounding aint the problem in this at all. Last yr curry has no help so this yr hell nah no way they can do the same.
Woot Woot! Warriors!!!! I am a warriors fan but just want to say massive respect for Joker. He was amazing and played his heart out despite the ham string issues. Also Boogie stepped up and glad to see him in a better place.
Nuggets gonna be a problem if mpj and murray can stay healthy. Having high level offensive players out has put the burden on Jokic. Jokic handled an impossible load making each game close. Mvp.
Jokic is a beast averaging ~20 Rpg, could easily get 30+ ppg. If only they weren't plague by injuries they could potentially beat the Warriors. Games 1-5 was back and forth, but Warriors was the better team this series.
They wouldn’t beat the warriors. At best you could say if they weren’t so injured they wouldn’t have needed to play the warriors in round 1. I predict the team gets worse in the next few years. MPJs contract is bad and that dude will never live up to even 1/2 the money you all gave him.
MPJ is not that good! He is a offensive role player who can basically shoot the ball & rebound. He cannot create offense & is horrendous on defense. Not to mention chronic back injury. Nuggets should trade MPJ for a strong perimeter defender
It’s simple, GS has a team full of unselfish star players… it’s not about “I have to get mine”….. their “non ball” floor movement is amazing and other teams are not used to that level of movement because other nba teams play isolation basketball….
Denver at full strength with high performing Jamal Murray and Michael Porter should be a title contender. As a warriors fan, that's disconcerting. The west next year will be even tougher if teams like Denver, Lakers and clippers get healthy. The only silver lining is the reality that good health is hardly a given.
Warriors aren’t even fully healthy bro 🤦🏾♂️ but the series would be different if Murray, and porter played. As great scorer as they are both of those two guys struggles mightily on the defensive end. Would’ve been a better series ofc, but if they were healthy it wouldn’t guarantee that Denver would advance.
They are just gonna keep on saying it too until they are finally right lmao.

4:21 Shaq: “I always talked about my admiration for others” yeah unless it was a center that people were comparing to Shaq, then there was very little admiration.
Golden state looking strong but still it's Denver, I don't think you can really know how strong they are from this series, to be honest. But they are looking good.
@Lee El Yeah that would be a classic. Memphis reminds me of Golden State 2013-2014 an up and coming team on the brink. This is crucial for the Warriors, the next three years probably the final run as younger teams like Memphis are coming of age.
@@zpacify What do you mean "might be the worst supporting cast out of play-off teams " ??? He has the worst supporting cast in whole NBA, not just play-offs ! Put any other superstar on that team and Nuggets become worst team in NBA
And people really thought kd was better than Steph cause of finals MVP that's like saying Dennis Johnson better than bird same thing or tony Parker was better than Duncan cause of 1 series out of the whole playoffs let's not forget steph is the offensive system you're always open cause he's doubles teamed all the time
They're more or less the same level if you ask me. Don't know what's been cooking in New Jersey but since building that super team to try (and fail) from stopping Lebron and Miami there's been too many head scratching decisions, I wonder if that's why Harden left the organization.

I watched a very different 4th quarter than a lot of these GSW and Nuggets fans it seems. Crazy how it's never talked about. Tough luck Joker, can't beat the league when they've made up their minds on who gets it this year.
@laki9999 I mean you can tell from how the first round is officiated whom the league has deemed the winners. All year they were going hard calling players for jumping into the defense. (Hence why Westbrook had his worst season ever) This series there was none of that. Just watch their next series games. At the end of the day this is a business and whatever is better for ratings is what is gonna happen. Denver has such a small viewership any finals including them would see a drastic drop off. (Hence why they will never get there) short of idk, signing Bron. Ask yourself why only 1 sports league in the country has it to where players, commentators, and unaffiliated sports analysts CANNOT comment on bad officiating. Other leagues you can get fined for taking to Twitter to express frustration on officiating. (Nfl will fine you) in the NBA the LEAGUE will suspend you. Not your team, the LEAGUE.
Do people who keep saying Jokic is a generational talent even understand what that means? Jokic is not a generational talent! Wilt was! Shaq was! MJ was! Magic was! Lebron is! Jokic maybe too early to tell!
Nuggets cant play without Murray and MPJ. Only Jokic and Gordon play constantly well, and the others have oscillations. They have to sell Campazzo and buy another player. Maybe Poku can play good with Joker 👍
GSW barely beat a Nuggets team without its 2nd and 3rd best players. They’ll beat the inexperienced team in second round but conference finals will be a different beats
Nuggets would make some noise if porter jr and Murray were healthy, it’s all good more Time for them to rest and come back even healthier next season rather than rush back for the playoffs and risk reinjuring themselves
I’m so glad somebody said something… that’s what you have to do. Once the refs get involved to keep the game tight it’s up to you to limit mistakes and play your game. Proud of the warriors… major growth moment.

Kenny be talking about the importance of giving directions in driving this whole playoffs
Hahaha yeah I came here to see if anyone else noticed that too 😂
"Guys we need to get better" " If we score more points, we can win"
Fax as if nobody knows he's been a pg of a champion team
6:50 - Kenny - "Experience is like if you were driving a car..."
Ernie - "Or for our purposes... a bus."
LOL! Ernie had to sneak Chuck's bus comment in there. 😂
Nobody besides GSW fans are going to acknowledge how clutch Steph was in this game. Yes GP2 hit two huge threes but Steph literally shot them back into the game in the 3rd quarter . Also he made two crucial lay ups. Imo Steph had a certain look in his eyes and demeanor this series . I love when he shoot’s the mid range bucket and goes for layups.
Jokic is a *LEGEND* We eliminated him but this man BALLED OUT. Crazy how much he played this series!!
Also both Klay and Poole played badly tonight but maybe because curry started? So now they have to get used to that again?
Poole played last game badly too.. i guess they figure it out how to defend Poole.. i think they switch the defender to stop poole
Hey honestly it's not even that , they just didn't shoot as much , and Poole missed layups he would normally hit. It was a rough one for him but he will improve. And Klay well it was tough for him.
Poole also hurt his shooting hand last game... possible there is some lingering pain
So...that's basketball. The motto...stay ready. The reality...be fluid 'cause anything can happen and does.
@@18jeepsrt74 yess it is most likely that. You can't go from just 2 great games to playing u comfortably and missing your regular shots out of nowhere lol
Chuck did Kenny dirty with that "bus riders" comment😅.You can tell he still wants to bring it up again.
That beat during the highlights is raw as hell.
I'm tryna find it lol
Scrolling comments looking for a lead
Nuggets made adjustments to Poole. Keeping him at the 3 point range and making him go left. But they forgot about Steph Curry.
Rivers got injured or who knows what this outcome is
@@carloscastaneda3818 Keeping Poole from scoring was their game plan. When poole scores over 20 points they have won all their games. But if curry has a good night they can still lose. Evidence can be seen on game 4 of the series. But yes if rivers didnt get injured maybe the chances of warriors would be less
Kenny really fixated on driving anecdotes in these playoffs LOL
“Comfortability?”
It was a good analogy though
Ernie with the lob “For our purposes, a bus.”
@@kaz7690 You're telling me that's a good analogy?🤨
listen to him, word for word, play it back 6:53
"You're driving a car and you know the direction where you're going, you're gonna get there faster, that's it. Like y'know, I'm goin' home, like, but if I'm givin' you directions as you're going, you're gonna "oh, should I get over zz, zah", it's the same exact thing!"
😵💫😵🤢
Congratulations to the Warriors 😃
One of Kenny’s best analysis in a while 💯
🤣🤣🤣
True🤣🤣😭
Even though Jokic is out in the first round, he should still get that MVP. Man was the definition of one man army huge props 👏
Mvp is a regular season award so a first round exit wouldn't change anything.
Well to be honest the strongest argument that people use to justify his MVP candidacy is how much he’s done with a “trash” team, so….
He's a defensive liability why doesn't he ever make any defensive teams. Other great centers have
@@anthonytaylor7928 Well the Warriors game plan was to attack Jokic since he needs to assert most of his energy on the offensive end. The playoffs are all about matchups, Warriors have 4-5 players capable of hitting 20+. Can you say the same with the Nuggets? Demarcus Cousins was the 2nd leading scorer tonight and it was a CAREER high of 19
@@anthonytaylor7928 Your argument is what lol?
Love the Warriors, but the lack of size and rebounding is going to be the biggest problem for them. Both the Grizzlies and Wolves can cause them problems in these areas, especially the Grizz. Warriors can go deep, but the margin of error is very small.
Fully healthy Suns are a problem,not to mention the Heat or Bucks
Agreed. Although the Warriors win this game, you can see that they do not have a perfect line-up to balance everything. Fortunately, they got lots of time right now, they really need to think about how to manage the rotation in the next series with Curry back to be the starter.
i think kevon and adams is a great match unlike jokic vs looney. Then dray on jackson. I say rebounding aint the problem in this at all. Last yr curry has no help so this yr hell nah no way they can do the same.
@@xyzxyz3917 I don't think Adams will be on the floor against the Warriors. Just like against the Wolves
Lol.they kill the bigs in Dribble.handoffs by by draymond
Woot Woot! Warriors!!!! I am a warriors fan but just want to say massive respect for Joker. He was amazing and played his heart out despite the ham string issues. Also Boogie stepped up and glad to see him in a better place.
Denver will be scary if they can ever get fully healthy
Fr, if Murray was playing, it could’ve been either team taking this series,
Nope he wouldn’t have mattered
Tbd honestly
@@ti84satact12 ah there you are again...lmfao get a life dude instead of posting on all denver comments
Golden State Warriors makes every team they play against plays better, so I wasn't surprised 🃏 played good
Nuggets gonna be a problem if mpj and murray can stay healthy. Having high level offensive players out has put the burden on Jokic. Jokic handled an impossible load making each game close. Mvp.
Jokic is a beast averaging ~20 Rpg, could easily get 30+ ppg. If only they weren't plague by injuries they could potentially beat the Warriors. Games 1-5 was back and forth, but Warriors was the better team this series.
They wouldn’t beat the warriors. At best you could say if they weren’t so injured they wouldn’t have needed to play the warriors in round 1.
I predict the team gets worse in the next few years. MPJs contract is bad and that dude will never live up to even 1/2 the money you all gave him.
Bruh, KD is the jetski driver in Cancun lol
I just wish Denver get a season where Murray, MPJ and Jokic are all healthy and playing in the playoffs.
MPJ is not that good! He is a offensive role player who can basically shoot the ball & rebound. He cannot create offense & is horrendous on defense.
Not to mention chronic back injury.
Nuggets should trade MPJ for a strong perimeter defender
Cause Aaron Gordon ain’t it
They were at one time still didn't do any good
@@anthonytaylor7928 back in 2020 they went to WCF. It does not got much further than that anyways.
It’s simple, GS has a team full of unselfish star players… it’s not about “I have to get mine”….. their “non ball” floor movement is amazing and other teams are not used to that level of movement because other nba teams play isolation basketball….
Denver at full strength with high performing Jamal Murray and Michael Porter should be a title contender. As a warriors fan, that's disconcerting. The west next year will be even tougher if teams like Denver, Lakers and clippers get healthy. The only silver lining is the reality that good health is hardly a given.
Warriors aren’t even fully healthy bro 🤦🏾♂️ but the series would be different if Murray, and porter played. As great scorer as they are both of those two guys struggles mightily on the defensive end. Would’ve been a better series ofc, but if they were healthy it wouldn’t guarantee that Denver would advance.
Love the decision from Kerr to keep GP2 in to close the game out. He’s a game changer
The nuggets fought hard but the warriors are a complete team. Shoutout to Joker and Boogie gets no respect 19 points in 15mins of play.
this is what draymond meant jokic wants to win but the other guys from nuggets seems like doesn't even want to win
The team is called Nuggets 😂😂😂
I hate when people say Warriors size is an issue, they never had a good center or “size” and they still managed to win 3 championships
Wishful thinking if they can lure jokic in, but probably can't pay him that much
They are just gonna keep on saying it too until they are finally right lmao. Especially "big brains" like chuck and shaq who keep saying" they gotta PuNiSh those little guys" like some 3 time champs and hofers and gonna just LET some upstart young punks just dominate them while they stand there looking haplessly 😂😂😂😂😂

I know Chuck just didn't put Dillon Brooks in the same category as Steph and Klay, my god.
Warriors prefer to play the grizzlies for sure, as long as a team doesn’t have an unstoppable big, warriors can out score them, out shoot them without much problem. And if warriors can switch everything defensively, it’s game over.
Warriors are too small! Draymond is an elite defender but he can’t guard great big men!
@@ti84satact12 guess you missed the reigning MVP and his efforts against Draymond Green this series
@@adriaanj1808 warriors was lucky Jamal Murray and MPJ out injured. I think the warriors will have no problem beating the grizzlies, Mavs and Suns, if Suns booker not 100%, and finals they prefer to play heat or Celtics more than bucks or sixers.

He's making himself looking like idiot making up words and opinions since the bus rider thing.
lol i don't think that's a word. He's just saying Warriors vets have to get use to the mentality of closeout games and playoff atmosphere because they haven't been there in a while. It's not a bad take.
Ernie to Chuck "Now you're good for the next hour"
*Chuck chokes on tea 🤣
This man Jokic is one of the best players in the league that's for sure. Put up otherwise Jaw Dropping Numbers
4:21 Shaq: “I always talked about my admiration for others” yeah unless it was a center that people were comparing to Shaq, then there was very little admiration.
Golden state looking strong but still it's Denver, I don't think you can really know how strong they are from this series, to be honest. But they are looking good.
It's not that Denver was bad, it's just a bad matchup for them.
@@jirengrey4140 I believe both. Denver's supporting cast might be the worst out of the playoff teams.
@Lee El Yeah that would be a classic. Memphis reminds me of Golden State 2013-2014 an up and coming team on the brink. This is crucial for the Warriors, the next three years probably the final run as younger teams like Memphis are coming of age.
@@zpacify What do you mean "might be the worst supporting cast out of play-off teams " ??? He has the worst supporting cast in whole NBA, not just play-offs ! Put any other superstar on that team and Nuggets become worst team in NBA

And people really thought kd was better than Steph cause of finals MVP that's like saying Dennis Johnson better than bird same thing or tony Parker was better than Duncan cause of 1 series out of the whole playoffs let's not forget steph is the offensive system you're always open cause he's doubles teamed all the time
Steph is my favorite player but KD was better! Ask Iguodala who was better because he said it was KD on Redick’s podcast!
@@ti84satact12 if talent wise Kd is better but if you want your team to win, I'll go with steph.
They're more or less the same level if you ask me. Don't know what's been cooking in New Jersey but since building that super team to try (and fail) from stopping Lebron and Miami there's been too many head scratching decisions, I wonder if that's why Harden left the organization.

I watched a very different 4th quarter than a lot of these GSW and Nuggets fans it seems. Crazy how it's never talked about. Tough luck Joker, can't beat the league when they've made up their minds on who gets it this year.
Lol know u guys see that
@laki9999 I mean you can tell from how the first round is officiated whom the league has deemed the winners. All year they were going hard calling players for jumping into the defense. (Hence why Westbrook had his worst season ever) This series there was none of that. Just watch their next series games. At the end of the day this is a business and whatever is better for ratings is what is gonna happen. Denver has such a small viewership any finals including them would see a drastic drop off. (Hence why they will never get there) short of idk, signing Bron. Ask yourself why only 1 sports league in the country has it to where players, commentators, and unaffiliated sports analysts CANNOT comment on bad officiating. Other leagues you can get fined for taking to Twitter to express frustration on officiating. (Nfl will fine you) in the NBA the LEAGUE will suspend you. Not your team, the LEAGUE.
@laki9999 GSW vs the Bucks btw. Warriors in 6.
Jokic is always impressive. A generational talent. GS should somehow get him.
Do people who keep saying Jokic is a generational talent even understand what that means? Jokic is not a generational talent! Wilt was! Shaq was! MJ was! Magic was! Lebron is! Jokic maybe too early to tell!
That would be 2017 Warriors 2.0 lol
Nuggets cant play without Murray and MPJ. Only Jokic and Gordon play constantly well, and the others have oscillations. They have to sell Campazzo and buy another player. Maybe Poku can play good with Joker 👍
Add Murray and Porter, Nuggets easily win that series. Jokic can’t beat the Warriors alone.
Payton WON this game for Golden State! Amazing game! He will get a LOT of playing time next series!
Aw ok I didn't realize that was GP2 clutching up and driving multiple times for uncontested layups at the end? Yea sure 😂😂😂
6:10 Chuck has been talking about the Warriors like of size for the past 20 years, LOL.
Joker needs help. If he had porter or Murry, it may have been something more.
