Their take on Klay is surprising because I felt he was the steadiest of the three, calmly knocking down threes, a big one when the Nuggets were up 5 and threatening to go on a run. Loving how calm he’s looked too, not getting too high or low on his makes and misses. Good game, and a good win for the Warriors.
I disagree on Klay’s 26 not being impactful. He hit a couple tough 3’s when we were in danger of going on a slide. He was the rock when we needed stability.
That take on Klay was so bad. It was him who was responsible for multiple comebacks in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Especially in the 4th, when Steph and Poole could not get going. Yes, Steph and Poole had those clutch under-a-minute plays, but Thompson is the reason they were there. Moreover, Thompson got a critical steal with 2 mins left (on Gordon I think) which led to another bucket and a small lead over the Nuggets. You didn't see the game if you make such a bad take.
Shout out to iggy for being a player off the bench that takes his role seriously and doesn't make mistakes. Man was open for hella 3's and still passed for the better shot. Also defensively awesome. Wiggins defense is underrated also, he consistently neutralizes others players
That’s why he’s known as one of the best 6th man player because he plays his heart out when he’s called up. That’s what the 6th man is all about and if your 6th man sucks. Your team will never advance
Yes, shout out for both as they don't get enough credit, imo. Iggy and Wiggy...heads up plays on both ends (e.g. that critical rebound in the paint by Wiggs, surrounded by 3 Nuggets but out-hustling them late in the game). Nuggets played well for long stretches, but not well enough at the end of the game. Good one.
HE IS BEST PLAYER IN GSW LAST DECADE. IGUODALA CAN DO ALL AND MOST SMART BEST DEFENDER ON THAT TEAM. I STILL CANT BELIEVE MY 76ERS LET GO HIM AND JRUE HOLIDAY.
The take on Klays 26pts is terrible, his 3’s gave the warriors breathing room during the game, also klay had 6 threes while Steph & Poole each had 3, you don’t just have 6 not impactful threes.
They’re just trying to justify a way to downplay Jokic. It’s pretty obvious there’s a bias towards Embiid and what they said about his game was frankly ridiculous if you ask me. That entire “impact” take was just stupid from the panel
I didn’t see the game but I think they were just saying that Poole was impactful than Kaplan but Kalyan was still impactful. I’m glad they brought up the topic of impact.
Love Steve Kerr pointing out Klay’s box out on Jokic down the stretch. Just goes to show how important those fundamental things like boxing out on a rebound are to the best teams in the world.
Wiggins is slept on but he defends and does the little things that make this team great. You don’t have to score 30 points to be elite. Wiggins does what he has to do to win.
@@charronrose68 he wouldn’t be on most other teams but look who he plays with! I’ve been telling my friends for 2 years that Wiggins will be a star for us and I’m happy it finally happened.
I agree with their take on Poole and his impact but to diminish Klay’s 26 is wild to me. He was hitting big 3’s throughout the game especially after nuggets made a couple of runs. He was so calm and cool his impact was felt for sure
They are finding ways to hate but maybe they are trying to motivate Klay. Wait for game 6 klay unlocking next game because of Kenny saying stupid things to him. This show is goated but when it comes to appreciating players they are lacking on it
I truly believe these guys don't really watch the games, they watch in spurts. There is no way that someone who knows basketball watches last night's game and says Klay wasn't just as impactful as Jordan Poole. It's a horrible take.
Denver's 2nd and 3rd best players are out hurt. That they're even close against a near-full-strength Warriors team is a miracle. Asking Jokic to win single-handedly is stupid. Jordan had Pippen, Shaq had Kobe, LeBron and Bird had stacked teams. Who has Jokic got?
Wth was that take on Klay by Kenny? Dude returns from prolonged injury and still defending and putting up top 3 team scoring numbers… what u want from him? Play himself back to injury… Let JP do play and grow, he is young and fresh… Klay has 3 championships and a bad Injury to show for and still doing his thing… I think Klay is doing just fine 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I think he just worded his take badly. I think he is trying to say that klay picking up 26 is more of a normality compared to Poole picking up those numbers. If not, then the take is definitely terrible.
Wiggins does the little things for gs that I feel he doesn’t get the credit for. That clutch three he hit and the rebound he secured so Poole can get that nice layup and the defense he plays is great. If dray wasn’t hurt this year he would’ve gotten dpoy. Smart is nice but Draymond literally guards all 5 positions and does it well and on a high standard.
Was going to say this myself. He's playing the role he's been asked to play extremely well. Leads the team in rebounds through three games, defends with a ton of energy and effectiveness, and has been efficient despite his low shot count. He also has done a great job of not taking unnecessary shots when that's not the role he's been asked to play at this time.
For sure and to think that people clowned his pts per game. But at times you need a guy that functions differently. I would say it can only be done when you have three guys that can shoot the ball Klay Poole and steph
What does Shaq mean that Jokic has to do more??? He was the leading scorer with 37 points, 18 rebounds along with five assists and two steals! For God sake he needs help! It’s a basketball team not a one man saves the day team. But anyways proud of my boy warriors 🤟🏽🤟🏽
@@remyyy7605 well more towards the end of the video they’re basically saying his 37 points were great and all but he showed up small in the final minutes
I love the guys, but you really can't say that a guy didn't have an impact who had 37 points, 18 rebounds and five assists... The only thing jokic didn't do was to take over the coaching and clean the towels 🤷🏿♂️
He did his job. The Nuggets as a team need to be mean. Not dirty but guard the perimeter better because I would rather give up a mid range jumper instead of a three. Golden State will win the series but Denver needs to be more physical to give themselves a chance.
Kenny hating on Jokic and instigating the others to do so as well. They are down two primary scorer and he is doing everything he possible can! What more do you want out of the guy? And I ain’t even a nuggets fan.
Facts. Kenny saying "he didnt make an impact all game" with 37 points, 18 rebounds, 5 ast. 3 stl. Just give credit to the warriors , they play a good game and stop hating on Jokic you bastard Kenny. Racist clown
They really should have shown the draymond green steal over jokic at the end...jokic was torching him all night, and he came up with the defensive play that won the game 🤘
@@trumpsanoompaloompa3612Bro the referees are the ones responsible for those fouls. He didn't do anything. Did you not see at Game 2 how the Warriors were pushing him like they were in a Wrestling/MMA ring and when Jokic just rebounded the ball and lightly tapped one of his opponents he got ejected!
Sooooo o if Joker gets 45 you'll say he needs 55? Cmn people, GSW has the whole team back and they're better team in current roster situation. If Jamal and MPJ are healthy it's a very different game. So well done GSW but Jokic is not making impact with 37/18? That's pure disrespect.
@@dianemoonstone4715 thanks man I'm trying to be unbiased here considering that the Joker is from my country. He didn't play well first two games. But I don't think he could have done more in this game. I honestly like how GSW looks at the moment and I won't be surprised if you go to the finals.
Kenny: "The Joker never had an impact in this game, every time they needed a bucket or a play he wasn't there" Ernie: "Despite 37 and 18 and 5?" TNT Highlights: Showing Joker make a play in crucial moments of the game over and over. RETIRE KENNY!! Or TNT please fire Kenny
@@jhdivina Problem is Draymond got the better of him at the end. Closing out games matters in the playoffs. Reigning mvps are expected to do that. He hasn’t yet in this series.
I literally just said the exact same comment! He was saying that at the most ironic time 😂😂 hitting a disgusting one leg jumper to take the lead as shot clock was going down
@@jhdivina and what happened in the last 3mins , when the game was there for the taking ?? He stopped killing Draymond ? Because if he continued they would have won. That is what they are saying and Shack knows what he’s talking about , he’s been in Jokic shoes and we all saw him (well that is if you are older than 30) . So what happened in the last 3mins , when great players shine in the playoffs …
Curry is my favorite player, and he sure does some amazing things. That being said, my heart feels that it stops beating for a second when I see him on the clutch on the 3 point line. Sometimes I feels he forces them. When he shot at the end and missed, if it weren't for Wiggins' offensive rebound, it could've gone bad easily. Glad when he doesn't settle and drives for the layups/floaters.
How Kenny gonna say Jokic had no impact on the game with a straight face? 😂😂 bro drops nearly 40 18 5 with efficiency, what more do you expect from the dude?
@@djknight8167 bro it’s Steph Curry - and Jokic was in the low help position. That’s almost impossible for any big man to stop. He’s the only reason Denver is even in the game to begin with.
@@jakemitchell6578 I agree, it's tough. Every other star has gotten this and criticism. He's no different, harden, lebron, kd, steph, kyrie. When they can't close the game they get this treatment. Why would he be any different?
I laughed so hard during the telecast, announcer was like "aaron gordon with 18 points, hes finally played bettet tn" you know its bad when youre psyched that the 2nd leading scorer on the team has 18 pts lmfao
Considering the fact that the man was basically invisible on both ends of the court in the first two games. Anything would have been a massive improvement
Imagine putting up 37 points and losing to 3 HOF players then getting grilled by analysts saying u shuda done more. I would be crying if I was jokic 😂😂😂
@Catherine Halsey here is an idea , don’t get the ball stolen from you in the last 3mins , don’t give a couple of blow by’s in the last 3mins , defend (I tough you guys said he closed the huge gap in defence between him and Embiid, advanced stats 🤣🤣) Oh and maybe just maybe make a few baskets on a smaller player with 5 FOULS .
@@grichkatayou7558 Embiid is playing a raptors team without Barnes alongside Harden, Maxey and Tobias. Jokic is playing a fully fit Warriors team with Dray, Klay, Curry, Poole, etc without his two best players and dropped 37/18/5 on 14/22 shooting and he’s getting grilled… 💀
@@grichkatayou7558 Jokic literally outplayed and out worked every player in this game. You’re on something cause Embiid is great and all but his support is miles better than Jokic’s. As someone already said, the opponent is also far easier for Embiid. Idk of anyone in the league who would rather face Golden State instead of Toronto.
@@harderway8568 I think you are projecting , you’re the one who is supposed to go and watch the NFL , because it seems you do not understand Playoff basketball , so because he scored 37 ,18 & 5 , he is not supposed to not get the ball stolen from him by Draymond ? Or get The rebound ahead of Wiggins ? Or score a basket in the last minutes on a player smaller than him with 5 FOULS ? 🤣🤣🤣 Did you see what KD did last year against the Bucks in a Must win game at home ??? That is what The greats do in the playoffs , when a game is winnable in the last few minutes , even when they are outgunned … smh
That offensive rebound by Wiggs and that pickpocket by Dray were my plays of the match. Next to that is the 3 by Klay when the Nuggets were threatening to have a run
Jokic was doing everything and anything to keep them alive, on one play he was running back got a steal, bring it up to half court and found a open Barton, and Barton goes a head and fires an air ball... must be really frustrating being the Joker rn...
What we are seeing is he is not the true mvp. His impact is not as good as the stat sheet indicates hes putting up "empty stats" against a really good team.
Tell him to contest shots in the paint it's probably about 9 or ten times he just let Players drive by him Draymond pointed this out when he was a guest host on TNT during the bubble playoffs yet hes not called out on it much
Wiggins was the 2nd best player for them at the start then JP suddenly became a clone of curry he was moved as the 3rd best then Klay returned he became the 4th yet he still plays good and does everything he can to help instead of being selfish
I wonder if Charles ever get tired of saying the bigs should punish GSW on the inside??? If I recall every playoff run ended with a chip or loss due to injury. Never a Center dominating in the post. That same big has to keep his stamina running around picks and screens…so I think that theory won’t work .
Yeah, Dray’s like the best big man defender in the league. Literally. The more big men play in the Warriors system, the more they lose. They don’t need em. They run people out the gym going small cuz Draymond will lock your center.
@@grainderekyjmmanglicmot2317 yea I get where you coming from . Game after game it would wear on Dray bcuz he also has to setup the offense and fatigue and foul trouble would be a issue . That’s why I’m a lil disappointed Looney can’t stay on the floor a lil longer to help dray out. At some point I would like to see Kuminga get some minutes bcuz Wiseman is out and looney is not athletic at all.
people are just so damm stupid. the joker was the only reason why the nuggets were close. he has trashcans around him., meanwhile GS have wiggin,curry, klay . like who the fk does the joker have. the nuggets is wasting the jokers career. the nuggets should TRADE the joker to the knicks . they are just wasting his career like how the wolves did to KG.
@@funkthat guarding these guys will have other players get ptsd on their own. just look at Denver the other game and Miami heat with Butler vs Udonis/Coach Erik.
It's so crazy Poole isn't at least mentioned for most improved player. 2021: FT% 88.2 , FG % 54.5 , 3PT % 35.1 (made 97 / 3pointers) . Avg 12pts , 1.9ast , 1.8rebs . Total 612pts , 99ast , 92rebs 2022: FT% 92.5 , FG% 55 , 3PT% 36.4 ( made 211 / 3pointers) . Avg 18.5pts , 4ast , 3rebs . Total 1,405pts , 304ast , 260rebs Not to mention a 28th overall pick , and we all know he was playing G-League games last year.... highway robbery
Lol “no impact” except for you know, having so much impact that he made this an actual game instead of a complete annihilation by the Warriors. Idk how you can call Joker’s performance lacking in impact when he forced everyone on the Warriors to bring their A game and just to win by 5 points.
Hahaha so funny hearing chuck say jokic didn’t have an impact and didn’t score when they needed it as he is hitting a clutch jumper with shotclock expiring to take the lead 💀😭
Last game they were arguing about how to guard Stephs 3 ball, now they tripping about Klay getting 26pts. Klay kept the Dubs stable with consistent 3s tonight which was way more impactful than crowd noise. They trying their best to find something to break this team up but this team runs off of SELFLESSNESS, and that’s their superpower.
You can see the Media Narrative shifting heavily against Jokic I would say it is very unfair, but this sort of thing comes with the territory when your talking MVP players, it's not like other MVP's weren't heavily and unfairly criticized, hell Steve Nash still regularly gets clowned on to this day 20 Years after the fact Maybe the best thing for Jokic would be to not get the MVP award this year and go on a title run with a hopefully healthy team next year
Maaan if I’m Jokic I’d be mad about some guys in the team who are paid the highest can’t even play a decent chunk of every season bec they’re damn fragile
to be fair to murray, that was his first major injury and it came out of nowhere. At least they showed what they can do in the bubble playoffs. Made it to wcf against the lebron lakers, who went on to win the chip.
Its easy for Steph when he has Poole, Thompson, Green to take off pressure off of him... Its easy when Jokic does not have his #2 & #3 scorers, including Murray who averaged 27 - 5 - 7 in last playoffs & had back to back 50 point games. Its easy for Warriors, when Jokic is the ONLY Nugget who can produce offense...
Oh my goodness!!!! What is up with the jokic slander??????!!!! Saying jokic never made an impact on the game is nasty considering almost every positive highlight they showed for the nuggets involved jokic🤣🤣🤣. What is going on!!!
Even as a golden state fan , i absolutely agree with the denver trainer, they really fought in this game very good, i think this game was really tight i mean i really tought denver was going to take that 3rd game but seems like klay, dray curry combo can't be beaten
That was the game for Denver to win and they couldn't pull it off. A lot of foul trouble early, and Denver did not take advantage. Warriors have four people who can score 30 easily, while Denver runs all their plays through the Joker. Joker will run out of gas in a long series.
Its easy to say 37 and 18 is just not enough. We need you to give us 43-45 and 20+. GS had 3 guys with over 25 points, Nuggets second highest was 18 I believe. If Joker had 2 guys who could have given him 18-20 each they might have won. Great job by Wiggins and terrible job by Nuggets on the offensive board. There should be no way that 1 guy gets the OR vs 3 defenders but Denver was lax and Wiggins made them pay but hustling to the ball and making a game changing play.
They were absolutely wrong on Klay Thompson, his impact was equally as huge because he hit some clutch shots to stop Denver runs. Kenny Smith has a tendency of truly going the wrong way with his takes. Thompson is THE most clutch playoff performer I've seen since James Worthy.
As a Warriors fan, even though the Nuggets had no chance about us, Jokic gotta be respected. He is my MVP, because he led a team of bricklayers to the playoffs, this lost is more probably on Barton, Green and the bench as a set(Chef Curry for 6th man of the year). He is really underapreciated, he just needs more help to win, and I really hope this team doesnt throw away his good years
Warriors being Warriors doing Warrior things that Warriors do. Somebody tell LeNeverBJordan that winning is about effort, not about building superteams with your friends. I see GSW or PHX winning the west this year.
@@mercistephens7325 The end of the comment when the person I was actually commenting mentioned “wasting years” you see now? So it’s relevant to his basketball age
Shaq is just hating on the Joker. I mean 37 and 18 with no help on the floor man.. comparing to Embiids numbers with Harden, Harris and Maxey, who give him a chance to have free looks. The Joker is always under a double team. Just stop hating on Jokic - he is amazing and what he is doing - is more than enough - it is just impossible with these partners.
Joel gets double and triple team as well . I disagree with shaq no impact quote . 37 pts and 18 rebs is definitely impact. I don’t know what else Jokic can do except coach the team at this point. Lol. He is a baller straight up. But as a mvp or mvp candidate you can not let your team get swept in the first round.
@@proudafricanamerican7586 As a MVP candidate he did not let his team to be at Rockets' place, as without him Denver would be there. I mean, how can you compare Warriors and Nuggets (I mean Nuggets in its current state because of all these injuries). It is a miracle Denver had some kind of a battle in some games this series. Anyway, my point was that despite the fact that I adore TNT's crew - they are hating on Jokic constantly and this is sad.
It's over for Denver man I just feel bad for Joker The warriors new death line up not a joke These three combined for 𝟖𝟎 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐒 in Game 3 🌊 They are the ONLY guard trio in the last 50 years with 20 PPG each through two games of a playoff series.
Man the Warriors are really tough team I always thought after last year that they will get a win the championship this year I'm a big Warriors fan I don't go to many games cuz I'm older now plus it's so expensive but I love the Warriors and I hope they win the championship they look really good they have to play a little better defense and they'll be fine
If they can be able to get pass chris paul,Paul, booker and rest of them Then they should beat number one seed Phoenix suns Who got best record here in nba But golden state got more experience and they've been there before Knows how to win playoff games
That possession off of a missed deep-three from Steph Curry just goes to show that too much respect especially for an opponent would cost you something. Because they're probably expecting it to be made since it was in Steph's range.
Iggy!!. A Vet that knows his worth. Big ups to Wigs for getting that crucial offensive rebound. Draymond with the timely steal from the Joker. Go Warriors!
Did you guys not see KD last year ?? If they want to say you are one of the best ball players ever because of PER … we’ll you should at least do as much as KD did last year against Milwaukee… if he did that they would have won this game and I’m a dubs fan … Jokic is not who people want to pass him to be … 2 time MVP, Jokic ??

I can't believe nobody wanted to ask what Jordan Poole said in the huddle? 3 experienced vets on the panel with EJ, even an experienced reporter like Jared Greenberg on the sidelines, and nobody asked the question. They were all completely dialed in once that huddle was over.
8:20 - 9:00.. okay rebounding the perspectives a bit by clearing the air a tad🤔 still feel like I need to watch the full game tho to make sense of all of it lol
"Didn't make an impact on the game, when you needed a basket" *Shows Jokic scoring bucket to take the lead* "This is when he needed defensive stops, defensive rebounds" *Shows Jokic tipping a pass then getting a board*
Joker needs help, full stop ✋️ 😑 They are all bugging with this no impact analysis... Rewind the tape and watch how Kenny lowkey gets embarrassed by the highlights. He tried to finesse his point, however the tape still showed the joker getting a clutch rebound and clutch bucket. Ernie kept rubbing it in his face too because realized this was some "finessing my point bs" 🤣🤣🤣 The only points that have not impact are garbage time points when the game is already over... Dray had a great stop, however, taking into account who he is playing with, the Joker was phenomenal.
as a warriors fan, i'm glad they arent feeding Curry because that would be too predictable for the Nuggets. But now they got another new toy to defend from which is Poole. but the thing is w these kinds of teams, they're not defense oriented even when they think they are, may or may not be enough to some fans depending on the situation. the Warriors organization knows that defense is absolutely crucial and a priority, because they know that it can lead to offense. we only see more of the offense because thats what the media shows us because from their eyes, it's entertaining to watch someone shoot a ball rather than stealing, blocking, rebounding it (for some media). great defense wins games and of course the Warriors does both which was a well deserved win. Nuggets weren't as hungry as them
wiggins looking like the gsw HBarnes... people would keep talking bout the 3 guard curry klay poole, and of course, dray, wiggins non box score type stats should be talk about... his corner 3 put them on top,plus the offensive rebound that leads to poole layup keep them a little breather room up by 3..
What no one talks about is that right after he got the offensive rebound, Wiggs went right back to the paint to get a potential rebound off the Poole basket. He's just wired to get in there and do the dirty work.
Shaq full off BS!! BB IS A TEAM SPORT!! Like he won something without second all star player. Jokic could scoren 50 and still come to short cause he has lame team.
respect to coach Malone, great mentality, admitting facts, facing issues, but still humble to give credits to opponents as well as encouraging his own team. he is a great coach.
Love these guys but it’s so bad when they have their mind made up and get proven wrong. “Jokic didn’t have an impact” then they show him scoring and making plays to take the lead. Seriously, the drive to the lane to take the lead late, what more impact does he need? Lmfao
@@YungPhilosopher dude, he is having a Gobert-type problem. When you have bad perimeter defense obviously team will penetrate and dish out. The most center will get exposed like that. Jokic is not a bad defender. This is just a bad take.
I feel bad for the Joker, being down 2 players, but the GSW'S are small, and have been playing without their rim protection all season. The other teams, at least, have the luxury of a big man. Give them some credit for this.
How can Kenny say such nonsense about Klay's impact on the game? He claims to be a shooter, does he not recognise the spacing with Klay on the floor? Klay's very presence allows Poole to do his thing. Surprising take by Kenny Smith
Their take on Klay is surprising because I felt he was the steadiest of the three, calmly knocking down threes, a big one when the Nuggets were up 5 and threatening to go on a run. Loving how calm he’s looked too, not getting too high or low on his makes and misses. Good game, and a good win for the Warriors.
yupp hes so composed and balaced
Agreed. Very efficient
Same. Even Reggie mentioned during the game he looked like Klay before injury.
I agree but I think anyways they were trying to insinuate that some of the plays JP made changed the attitude/energy on the court
I agree, I thought Klay was hitting some clutch three's !!!
I disagree on Klay’s 26 not being impactful. He hit a couple tough 3’s when we were in danger of going on a slide. He was the rock when we needed stability.

You ain’t apart of the team chill out lmao 🤣
@Buddy and the offensive foul on Gordon from Curry... Nice defensive stops.
That take on Klay was so bad. It was him who was responsible for multiple comebacks in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Especially in the 4th, when Steph and Poole could not get going. Yes, Steph and Poole had those clutch under-a-minute plays, but Thompson is the reason they were there. Moreover, Thompson got a critical steal with 2 mins left (on Gordon I think) which led to another bucket and a small lead over the Nuggets. You didn't see the game if you make such a bad take.
Agreed!
Facts he was the one elevating much of the pressure when the game was tied or down
Honestly Kenny always has bad takes
Yea I agree. When klay would get a lil hot the score would spread for gs making Denver have to work hard.
I like how u said if they didn't watch the game they can't argue with u or they can't disagree with u 😂 (paraphrased)
Shout out to iggy for being a player off the bench that takes his role seriously and doesn't make mistakes. Man was open for hella 3's and still passed for the better shot. Also defensively awesome. Wiggins defense is underrated also, he consistently neutralizes others players

Yes, shout out for both as they don't get enough credit, imo. Iggy and Wiggy...heads up plays on both ends (e.g. that critical rebound in the paint by Wiggs, surrounded by 3 Nuggets but out-hustling them late in the game). Nuggets played well for long stretches, but not well enough at the end of the game. Good one.

@@charronrose68 he wouldn’t be on most other teams but look who he plays with! I’ve been telling my friends for 2 years that Wiggins will be a star for us and I’m happy it finally happened.
@@charronrose68 he is slept on because the nuggets are worrying about Curry, klay, and Poole. So Wiggins can do his thing on the low low
I agree with their take on Poole and his impact but to diminish Klay’s 26 is wild to me. He was hitting big 3’s throughout the game especially after nuggets made a couple of runs. He was so calm and cool his impact was felt for sure
They are finding ways to hate but maybe they are trying to motivate Klay. Wait for game 6 klay unlocking next game because of Kenny saying stupid things to him. This show is goated but when it comes to appreciating players they are lacking on it
I truly believe these guys don't really watch the games, they watch in spurts. There is no way that someone who knows basketball watches last night's game and says Klay wasn't just as impactful as Jordan Poole. It's a horrible take.
Wiggins has quietly bin a huge reason for the warriors dominance
Bin? Lol
Quietly? He is an All-Star.
Poole is the one who has come out of nowhere.
@@pdboomin2 Andrew bin Ballin’
Jokic literally making important shots in the highlights while Kenny is claiming that he couldn't make any important shots is pure comedy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!
too many bricks, turnovers in the clutch
That was funny af!
He had important turnovers
Denver's 2nd and 3rd best players are out hurt. That they're even close against a near-full-strength Warriors team is a miracle. Asking Jokic to win single-handedly is stupid. Jordan had Pippen, Shaq had Kobe, LeBron and Bird had stacked teams. Who has Jokic got?
Wth was that take on Klay by Kenny?
Dude returns from prolonged injury and still defending and putting up top 3 team scoring numbers… what u want from him?
Play himself back to injury… Let JP do play and grow, he is young and fresh… Klay has 3 championships and a bad Injury to show for and still doing his thing… I think Klay is doing just fine 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
i agree
Agreed!
Kenny is a hater. Klay is what Kenny wishes he was… instead he was just Hakeems water boy 😂💦
He Scored 26 points With 0 Free throw Attempts, Man!! That's Something else
I think he just worded his take badly. I think he is trying to say that klay picking up 26 is more of a normality compared to Poole picking up those numbers. If not, then the take is definitely terrible.
Wiggins does the little things for gs that I feel he doesn’t get the credit for. That clutch three he hit and the rebound he secured so Poole can get that nice layup and the defense he plays is great. If dray wasn’t hurt this year he would’ve gotten dpoy. Smart is nice but Draymond literally guards all 5 positions and does it well and on a high standard.
He was an all star. What other kind of credit does he need? Stfu… and stop saying irrational bs…
Was going to say this myself. He's playing the role he's been asked to play extremely well. Leads the team in rebounds through three games, defends with a ton of energy and effectiveness, and has been efficient despite his low shot count. He also has done a great job of not taking unnecessary shots when that's not the role he's been asked to play at this time.
He’s a better Harrison Barnes
For sure and to think that people clowned his pts per game. But at times you need a guy that functions differently. I would say it can only be done when you have three guys that can shoot the ball Klay Poole and steph
Wiggins can literally replace curry klay Poole in production if he needs to step up. Warriors too deep. Damn near 4 super weapons
What does Shaq mean that Jokic has to do more??? He was the leading scorer with 37 points, 18 rebounds along with five assists and two steals! For God sake he needs help! It’s a basketball team not a one man saves the day team. But anyways proud of my boy warriors 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Did you listen to what he said or did you run here to defend your empty stats PER raptor king?
Did u listen to what he said
@@tuff360 what he say?
We heard what he said, he is clearly being unreasonable, he could get 45 & they would still lose
@@remyyy7605 well more towards the end of the video they’re basically saying his 37 points were great and all but he showed up small in the final minutes
I love the guys, but you really can't say that a guy didn't have an impact who had 37 points, 18 rebounds and five assists... The only thing jokic didn't do was to take over the coaching and clean the towels 🤷🏿♂️
Shaq and Kenny hate that a white man is succeeding, everyone knows it
No impact
He did his job. The Nuggets as a team need to be mean. Not dirty but guard the perimeter better because I would rather give up a mid range jumper instead of a three. Golden State will win the series but Denver needs to be more physical to give themselves a chance.
Also had timely turnovers and missed shots
It’s like you didn’t even listen to what chucks reasoning was, for saying that
Kenny hating on Jokic and instigating the others to do so as well. They are down two primary scorer and he is doing everything he possible can! What more do you want out of the guy? And I ain’t even a nuggets fan.
I hate the nuggets, but it’s a fact that Kenny hates when white players succeed
does anyone like Kenny or think he has good insightful takes? hope someone takes his spot tbh
Facts. Kenny saying "he didnt make an impact all game" with 37 points, 18 rebounds, 5 ast. 3 stl. Just give credit to the warriors , they play a good game and stop hating on Jokic you bastard Kenny. Racist clown
@@Yabas00 he isn't that that bad tbh
Did he not turn the ball over in crucial moments, get blown by twice and couldn't get a bucket at the end of the game? Stars don't allow this
Another great win for the warriors! Shaq needs to realize there's only so much Joker could do. He's the only Star on his team right now.
Jokic was great hon can’t expect the man to win against Bree warriors on his own
Can you except him not to make crucial turnovers and not get blown by..
They really should have shown the draymond green steal over jokic at the end...jokic was torching him all night, and he came up with the defensive play that won the game 🤘
With the 5 fouls he had. Draymond is a boss.
Torching him Guy score almost 40p 🤮
🤲🏽💯
🤲🏽💯
@@trumpsanoompaloompa3612Bro the referees are the ones responsible for those fouls. He didn't do anything.
Did you not see at Game 2 how the Warriors were pushing him like they were in a Wrestling/MMA ring and when Jokic just rebounded the ball and lightly tapped one of his opponents he got ejected!
Sooooo o if Joker gets 45 you'll say he needs 55? Cmn people, GSW has the whole team back and they're better team in current roster situation. If Jamal and MPJ are healthy it's a very different game. So well done GSW but Jokic is not making impact with 37/18? That's pure disrespect.
Agree. And this from a Golden State Warriors fan.
@@dianemoonstone4715 thanks man I'm trying to be unbiased here considering that the Joker is from my country. He didn't play well first two games. But I don't think he could have done more in this game. I honestly like how GSW looks at the moment and I won't be surprised if you go to the finals.
Kenny: "The Joker never had an impact in this game, every time they needed a bucket or a play he wasn't there"
Ernie: "Despite 37 and 18 and 5?"
TNT Highlights: Showing Joker make a play in crucial moments of the game over and over.
RETIRE KENNY!! Or TNT please fire Kenny
Facts!!!
Facts. Jokic was killing draymond as the roll/pop man this game. Main reason why the nuggets were hanging with the warriors in the first place.
@@jhdivina Problem is Draymond got the better of him at the end. Closing out games matters in the playoffs. Reigning mvps are expected to do that. He hasn’t yet in this series.
I literally just said the exact same comment! He was saying that at the most ironic time 😂😂 hitting a disgusting one leg jumper to take the lead as shot clock was going down
@@jhdivina and what happened in the last 3mins , when the game was there for the taking ??
He stopped killing Draymond ? Because if he continued they would have won. That is what they are saying and Shack knows what he’s talking about , he’s been in Jokic shoes and we all saw him (well that is if you are older than 30) .
So what happened in the last 3mins , when great players shine in the playoffs …
Why I love gsw is that star players can come off the bench no complaints, and do their job
Curry's 27 was impactful as well, considering he came off the bench to contibute.
came off the bench huh
@@dandrijackson1031 he has been coming off the bench because he was injured
@@dandrijackson1031 he has been coming off the bench for Poole lol
Curry is my favorite player, and he sure does some amazing things. That being said, my heart feels that it stops beating for a second when I see him on the clutch on the 3 point line. Sometimes I feels he forces them. When he shot at the end and missed, if it weren't for Wiggins' offensive rebound, it could've gone bad easily. Glad when he doesn't settle and drives for the layups/floaters.
How Kenny gonna say Jokic had no impact on the game with a straight face? 😂😂 bro drops nearly 40 18 5 with efficiency, what more do you expect from the dude?
To be Jesus. If he can't be GOD'S true son the he can't be MVP
It's more than numbers. When the the game was close as the star you can't turn over the ball and get blown by twice.
@@thetrib1 did you listen to what they said? Did you ever hoop at a high level?
@@djknight8167 bro it’s Steph Curry - and Jokic was in the low help position. That’s almost impossible for any big man to stop. He’s the only reason Denver is even in the game to begin with.

And dude still fucking choked his late game turnover killed any momentum the nuggets had
Aaron Gordon is a 6’9 less skilled Russell Westbrook 😂
Considering the fact that the man was basically invisible on both ends of the court in the first two games. Anything would have been a massive improvement
@@fjo9492 Fail. Aaron Gordon is like a poor mans Blake Griffin.
The Nuggets need more than Murray moving forward. They need some scorers and Aaron Gordon as your second best player won't get it done.
Imagine putting up 37 points and losing to 3 HOF players then getting grilled by analysts saying u shuda done more. I would be crying if I was jokic 😂😂😂
@Catherine Halsey here is an idea , don’t get the ball stolen from you in the last 3mins , don’t give a couple of blow by’s in the last 3mins , defend (I tough you guys said he closed the huge gap in defence between him and Embiid, advanced stats 🤣🤣)

That is what The greats do in the playoffs , when a game is winnable in the last few minutes , even when they are outgunned … smh
Kenny says Jokic needs to step up on defense. Shows Jokic forcing a turnover on the double team. Hmmmm
He doesn't control the clips. Joker does need to become a more defensive presence
That offensive rebound by Wiggs and that pickpocket by Dray were my plays of the match. Next to that is the 3 by Klay when the Nuggets were threatening to have a run
Jokic “did not make an impact on the game”?! Is Kenny for real? The man had 37-18-5 thats pretty impactful 😂
The inside crew has terrible takes.
Look at the tape how many times he let players drive by him and score hes a defensive liability
Curry was great at the end of 4th quarter, a three, assist and lay up to seal the game!!
and he drew the offensive foul from gordon
But there saying he doesn't show up in big games
@@elijahaloewel4126 he isnt going to. Wanna bet. Playoffs are early yet. Wait till the stakes are higher, the real curry is gonna show up
Jokic was doing everything and anything to keep them alive, on one play he was running back got a steal, bring it up to half court and found a open Barton, and Barton goes a head and fires an air ball... must be really frustrating being the Joker rn...
What we are seeing is he is not the true mvp. His impact is not as good as the stat sheet indicates hes putting up "empty stats" against a really good team.

Wiggins was the 2nd best player for them at the start then JP suddenly became a clone of curry he was moved as the 3rd best then Klay returned he became the 4th yet he still plays good and does everything he can to help instead of being selfish
Wot
Wiggins might be 5th coz Green is more important to the team
“Never made an impact on the game” wow are you serious kenny.
Kenny hates white players
I wonder if Charles ever get tired of saying the bigs should punish GSW on the inside??? If I recall every playoff run ended with a chip or loss due to injury. Never a Center dominating in the post. That same big has to keep his stamina running around picks and screens…so I think that theory won’t work .
Dray is pesky as hell on D lol
Yeah, Dray’s like the best big man defender in the league. Literally. The more big men play in the Warriors system, the more they lose. They don’t need em. They run people out the gym going small cuz Draymond will lock your center.
probably because they lack enough bigman dray is amazing but again if the other team got a big center and big pf green gonna struggle

At some point I would like to see Kuminga get some minutes bcuz Wiseman is out and looney is not athletic at all.

The utter hate jokic gets is unreal dude drops damn near 40-20-5 and they still say he didnt make an impact 🙃
The Jokic disrespect is disappointing. The Nuggets wouldn't be anywhere near where they are without him and his 37 and 18 'didn't impact the game'?
They lost..
people are just so damm stupid. the joker was the only reason why the nuggets were close. he has trashcans around him., meanwhile GS have wiggin,curry, klay . like who the fk does the joker have.
the nuggets is wasting the jokers career. the nuggets should TRADE the joker to the knicks . they are just wasting his career like how the wolves did to KG.

Not to mention a 28th overall pick , and we all know he was playing G-League games last year.... highway robbery
Lol “no impact” except for you know, having so much impact that he made this an actual game instead of a complete annihilation by the Warriors.
Idk how you can call Joker’s performance lacking in impact when he forced everyone on the Warriors to bring their A game and just to win by 5 points.
Hahaha so funny hearing chuck say jokic didn’t have an impact and didn’t score when they needed it as he is hitting a clutch jumper with shotclock expiring to take the lead 💀😭
The warriors most definitely work for that win nice to so how the team chemistry coming together 💯
Last game they were arguing about how to guard Stephs 3 ball, now they tripping about Klay getting 26pts. Klay kept the Dubs stable with consistent 3s tonight which was way more impactful than crowd noise.
They trying their best to find something to break this team up but this team runs off of SELFLESSNESS, and that’s their superpower.
Malone is one of my favorite coaches. Always gives honest answers and good perspective.
You can see the Media Narrative shifting heavily against Jokic
I would say it is very unfair, but this sort of thing comes with the territory when your talking MVP players, it's not like other MVP's weren't heavily and unfairly criticized, hell Steve Nash still regularly gets clowned on to this day 20 Years after the fact
Maybe the best thing for Jokic would be to not get the MVP award this year and go on a title run with a hopefully healthy team next year
Stat padder

@@freeguy3751 hard to ignore they both aren’t ever gunna win a chip cause they are unathletic and not actually the most valuable players

True. MPJ especially
to be fair to murray, that was his first major injury and it came out of nowhere. At least they showed what they can do in the bubble playoffs. Made it to wcf against the lebron lakers, who went on to win the chip.
That Wiggins OR was clutch
I was dying with laughter when Steph scored to put 'em up, 116-111 and gave 'em the "night-night" under the basket.
He knows how to win playoff games. The young Nugget tried to hit a hero shot just before that. It was the sequence of the game.
😄😄
Its easy for Steph when he has Poole, Thompson, Green to take off pressure off of him... Its easy when Jokic does not have his #2 & #3 scorers, including Murray who averaged 27 - 5 - 7 in last playoffs & had back to back 50 point games.
Its easy for Warriors, when Jokic is the ONLY Nugget who can produce offense...
Oh my goodness!!!! What is up with the jokic slander??????!!!! Saying jokic never made an impact on the game is nasty considering almost every positive highlight they showed for the nuggets involved jokic🤣🤣🤣. What is going on!!!

@@nonobegone2135 frfr it's very awkward
Even as a golden state fan , i absolutely agree with the denver trainer, they really fought in this game very good, i think this game was really tight i mean i really tought denver was going to take that 3rd game but seems like klay, dray curry combo can't be beaten
That was the game for Denver to win and they couldn't pull it off. A lot of foul trouble early, and Denver did not take advantage. Warriors have four people who can score 30 easily, while Denver runs all their plays through the Joker. Joker will run out of gas in a long series.
Man, they hate Jokic, you decide why!
Its easy to say 37 and 18 is just not enough. We need you to give us 43-45 and 20+. GS had 3 guys with over 25 points, Nuggets second highest was 18 I believe. If Joker had 2 guys who could have given him 18-20 each they might have won.
Great job by Wiggins and terrible job by Nuggets on the offensive board. There should be no way that 1 guy gets the OR vs 3 defenders but Denver was lax and Wiggins made them pay but hustling to the ball and making a game changing play.
They were absolutely wrong on Klay Thompson, his impact was equally as huge because he hit some clutch shots to stop Denver runs. Kenny Smith has a tendency of truly going the wrong way with his takes. Thompson is THE most clutch playoff performer I've seen since James Worthy.
As a Warriors fan, even though the Nuggets had no chance about us, Jokic gotta be respected. He is my MVP, because he led a team of bricklayers to the playoffs, this lost is more probably on Barton, Green and the bench as a set(Chef Curry for 6th man of the year). He is really underapreciated, he just needs more help to win, and I really hope this team doesnt throw away his good years
Curry not young anymore he’s 34 lol he got 3-4 left maybe 5
Due suck the first two games.

The Joker is always under a double team. Just stop hating on Jokic - he is amazing and what he is doing - is more than enough - it is just impossible with these partners.
Joel gets double and triple team as well . I disagree with shaq no impact quote . 37 pts and 18 rebs is definitely impact. I don’t know what else Jokic can do except coach the team at this point. Lol. He is a baller straight up.
But as a mvp or mvp candidate you can not let your team get swept in the first round.
@@proudafricanamerican7586 As a MVP candidate he did not let his team to be at Rockets' place, as without him Denver would be there.

Anyway, my point was that despite the fact that I adore TNT's crew - they are hating on Jokic constantly and this is sad.
Jokic should do more? In a words of Chandler (Friends) to Shaq : " Could you be more jealous?"
Jealous of what exactly, Jokic hasn’t done anything Shaq hasn’t.

Warriors so scary, they got a fire bench too good lord
That possession off of a missed deep-three from Steph Curry just goes to show that too much respect especially for an opponent would cost you something. Because they're probably expecting it to be made since it was in Steph's range.
Proud of Warrior's. Team work 💪
If Jokic has 1 more Star player they probably can go to game 7 but sadly they don't
Iggy!!. A Vet that knows his worth. Big ups to Wigs for getting that crucial offensive rebound. Draymond with the timely steal from the Joker. Go Warriors!

I can't believe nobody wanted to ask what Jordan Poole said in the huddle? 3 experienced vets on the panel with EJ, even an experienced reporter like Jared Greenberg on the sidelines, and nobody asked the question. They were all completely dialed in once that huddle was over.
Clutch plays from the warriors to win this game tonight
8:20 - 9:00.. okay rebounding the perspectives a bit by clearing the air a tad🤔 still feel like I need to watch the full game tho to make sense of all of it lol
No team has ever come back from down 3-0. This series is over.
"Didn't make an impact on the game, when you needed a basket"
*Shows Jokic scoring bucket to take the lead*
"This is when he needed defensive stops, defensive rebounds"
*Shows Jokic tipping a pass then getting a board*
Joker needs help, full stop ✋️ 😑
They are all bugging with this no impact analysis... Rewind the tape and watch how Kenny lowkey gets embarrassed by the highlights. He tried to finesse his point, however the tape still showed the joker getting a clutch rebound and clutch bucket. Ernie kept rubbing it in his face too because realized this was some "finessing my point bs" 🤣🤣🤣
The only points that have not impact are garbage time points when the game is already over...
Dray had a great stop, however, taking into account who he is playing with, the Joker was phenomenal.
i love the attitude of the nuggets coach.. love the positivity!
as a warriors fan, i'm glad they arent feeding Curry because that would be too predictable for the Nuggets. But now they got another new toy to defend from which is Poole. but the thing is w these kinds of teams, they're not defense oriented even when they think they are, may or may not be enough to some fans depending on the situation. the Warriors organization knows that defense is absolutely crucial and a priority, because they know that it can lead to offense. we only see more of the offense because thats what the media shows us because from their eyes, it's entertaining to watch someone shoot a ball rather than stealing, blocking, rebounding it (for some media). great defense wins games and of course the Warriors does both which was a well deserved win. Nuggets weren't as hungry as them
New era warriors fan? Or you a warriors fan
wiggins looking like the gsw HBarnes... people would keep talking bout the 3 guard curry klay poole, and of course, dray, wiggins non box score type stats should be talk about...
his corner 3 put them on top,plus the offensive rebound that leads to poole layup keep them a little breather room up by 3..
Kenny coming in clutch with another useless statement 🤦♂️
I like Denver’s coach he’s seems real and loves the game
Props to the Nuggets and Nikola for making it to the playoffs
What no one talks about is that right after he got the offensive rebound, Wiggs went right back to the paint to get a potential rebound off the Poole basket. He's just wired to get in there and do the dirty work.
🎯 Agree completely.
Taking nothing away from Wiggins. But my goodness draymond Green is underrated. As a player and a leader
Poor Jokic 37 pts, 18 rebs , 5ast
Did anyone catch Ernie saying Championship Chuck lol???
if you have 3 guys who can make 25+ points in every game at the same time, man, it means championship..
Jokic situation remembered me pf Harden in his Rockets days did his stats but did not impact the game like he had to particularly against GSW.
Shaq full off BS!! BB IS A TEAM SPORT!! Like he won something without second all star player. Jokic could scoren 50 and still come to short cause he has lame team.
respect to coach Malone, great mentality, admitting facts, facing issues, but still humble to give credits to opponents as well as encouraging his own team. he is a great coach.
Love these guys but it’s so bad when they have their mind made up and get proven wrong. “Jokic didn’t have an impact” then they show him scoring and making plays to take the lead. Seriously, the drive to the lane to take the lead late, what more impact does he need? Lmfao
Bro I was thinking the same exact thing, yeah they lost but to say he had no impact is crazy
All centers get exposed by guards
@@YungPhilosopher dray get key steal on other bigs also jokic is a okay defender just not many bigs can stay with certain guards
@@YungPhilosopher dude, he is having a Gobert-type problem. When you have bad perimeter defense obviously team will penetrate and dish out. The most center will get exposed like that. Jokic is not a bad defender. This is just a bad take.
@@anugrehary5704 It's like saying guards get exposed by bigs in the post. Lol.
The Goldenstate Warriors arena is in San Francisco. Golderstate is part of the name of the team not a location.
steph gonna win his first finals MVP. dont think the warriors gonna lose this playoffs, they on fireee
3:21 I’m so glad Joker stopped his back pedal. 🙏🙏🙏
I feel bad for the Joker, being down 2 players, but the GSW'S are small, and have been playing without their rim protection all season. The other teams, at least, have the luxury of a big man. Give them some credit for this.
Get Jokic some help man 😭
I feel sorry for the joker man 😭he tried
Kenny’s take on Klay’s 26 from a guy that probably never scored 26 in a playoff game in his life is laughable. Klay scores 20… they lose.
So no one's gonna talk about Wiggins offensive rebound with the 3 defenders that's tough bruh ! .💪
Did you watch it? Cause that was highly spoken about and even shown
Shaq has such a huge bias against Jokic. If that was Embiid he would have said something completely different
I mean Embiid's team is winning and Jokic isnt. He said the same thing About Embiid when he got swept in the bubble.
U clearly didn’t listen at all
@@tuff360 so you don't think he shows bias with embiid vs jokic?
@@TMagician Embiid is just better. There is no bias lol
@@TMagician no
How can Kenny say such nonsense about Klay's impact on the game? He claims to be a shooter, does he not recognise the spacing with Klay on the floor? Klay's very presence allows Poole to do his thing. Surprising take by Kenny Smith
Wiggins rebound was the play of the game and they didn't show it in the replay 😆
Did they really say jokic didn’t make an impact in the game him alone a carry the side bredda🤦🏾♂️
