Rudy out there becoming a father and a son in the same week, congrats Rudy
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 your comment kills me 🤣
Rudy's mom punching the air rn
🤣🤣
Damn this comment hit hard 🤣
No one on earth can stop Jokic right now, no point of blaming Rudy
Only Batman can stop the Joker.
@@TeamRocketRedbatman needs to beat Oklahoma first
Both can be true, that Gobert is DPOY and he deserves it and that still Jokic is unstoppable.
Gobert was -2 in 40 minutes and they lost by 15 points. He had a solid defensive performance. Jokic is just unstoppable.
@@mrspiff6955 🎯
Rudy got cooked, but yall tell me who in the fucking world can stop Jokic? Nobody
Shaq
@@bartholomewlyons Shaq is overrated. The only thing he have is power. He cant shoot, cant pass, cant dribble, cant even free throw. Thats why he's jealous with Jokic and doesnt want to be compared
Shaq can only dunk. 😂
Embid
@@bartholomewlyonsyea he definitely in the nba
"Brother, I have 40."
Draymond Green butchered the quote on TBT tonight . He said brother I have 42 🤣
It’s 47 actually
@@Ararimu9he had 40 last night
And more assist in this one than gobert in whole season. It’s Jokic greatness best defensive big man in league looked funny. Ideeemoooo 🇷🇸
Thank you!!! Bro he's been getting 40'd for years now how is this news
Weird thing is that the Timberwolves were at their best defensively when Gobert was on the floor. He was -2 in 40 minutes and they lost by 15 points. KAT was -17 in about 37 minutes. McDaniels was -18 in 30 minutes. Gobert played solid. Jokic is just out of this world.
I stand by the trade being a bad move long term (Minny is going to be in tax hell), but Gobert gets way too much crap. He's an excellent defensive player and even games he is "embarrassed" the +/- and advanced defensive stats say its not on him.
Rudy's getting shamed for Jokic dropping 40. KAT was much worse on him and the MVP hit some insane shots. What can you do?
Low key he was a +9 in the previous game. So it’s not entirely his fault
@@bigmike11559 I think people like to find a player to blame when their team lose. When you see the opponent's Center drop 40 in 68% shooting it is really easy to blame your Center, let alone he is the DPOY.
Feel kind of sad about him because those guys blaming Gobert (and some still use the fact than MIN win G2) simply does not watch the game. Gobert is the key that MIN can try to play defense when Jokic is on the floor. While his offense is kind of meh ad might hurt is team, MIN simply got destroyed when Gobert is off in these two games so playing offense and keep Gobert on the bench is just not going to work (MIN played 21min without Gobert in G4 and 5 and they are -31 in this period).
@kiki7170 its 2fold here. Ppl like to blame someone and ppl don't like Rudy. I find it poor on the nba to put draymond on commentary for this man's game after what he did to him lol
@@dreasdwolfox3435 Yeah seems like that. But I also think it is kind of a issue of how highlight works. Rudy is better at drop defense than 1 on 1 for his team (not because he is bad on 1 on 1 but if he goes 1 on 1, KAT and Naz simply don't have the read, which often lead to AG dunk or a Joker lay-up), which means the T-wolves rely him to help when the paint is penetrated. And because of this, he is always (one of) the guy who is contesting the shot, and highlights only show made shots so people think his defense is overrated.
Can't even blame Gobert. Joker just woke up and chose violence today.
Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!
Today and last 2 games lol
😄😄😄What do we say to Gobert, the Defensive Player of the Year!
Jokic: Not today!😜🤣🤣
Rudy played very good defence.
Just Joker offence was God mode.
Facts
Facts. the people complaining never played ball. Those shots Jokic made were unblockable.
The Unibrow was Joker's first victim. Now it's Gobert's turn. All these players thinking they are the best defender in the league gets destroyed by this horse trainer named Jokic.
taking everyone's best out to pasture lmao
Great offense has always beaten great defense
Victim? Look at ADs and jokics number looks pretty close. Nuggets just have more chemistry and a well coached team
😂😂bro ready to go back to train his horses fr
@@yowiedsiYou cannot be serious brother, numbers don’t tell everything, if you switch places with Jokic and AD that series, LAKERS BLOW OUT THE NUGGETS, bro is a victim
Duno why blame Rudy for something that no one can do atm.
If you think that question was blame then you are soft.
@@silewis9396People are blaming him, do you not read the comments?
Rudy had Jokic doing three spins, pivots, fade hooks, off foot floaters, literally all the hardest post looks; Jokic just made them. This game any time Kyle or Reid, even Towns on him, he killed them straight away. Don't let this trash media with hateful narratives try to take away from Jokic's greatness this game by painting Rudy as a fraud.
True this.
That’s true
🙌🏼
Rudy didn’t do a horrible job guarding him, Jokic was just better offensively. Rudy’s defense was actually pretty good.
Rudy prolly played his best game of the series, but Jok is just unstoppable
😂😂plz.. Rudy has zero offense. Literally. Only scores cause someone gets doubled. At least AD makes him work both ends. Rudy shouldn’t have this many Dpoy
bad offense therefore no DPOY...you can't beat that logic@@dahc0023 And Lakers 0-4...
So, because he has "zero offense", he shouldn't have won so many DEFENSIVE player of the year? Wow, makes sense..
@@dahc0023 you mean the guy who had 18 points on 7/7 shooting this game?
Lmao@ "I blocked some shots that still went in🤷🏽♂️"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly Rudy shouldn’t feel bad the way Joker come out dominating nobody could guard him like nobody in the league 💪🔥
Every one piling on Rudy, but he actually played well on Jokic. He forced Jokic into taking a lot of really tough shots, and Jokic just hit all of them.
He was blocked by wemby so wemby can definitely slow him down no easy shots
Rudy got cooked, roasted, grilled, boiled and fried.
Jokic shooting 68 % fg shooting, assists, blocks, steals, defense, and draining free throws. One of the greatest performances I've ever seen.
Rudy didn't play bad defense, but Jokic had everything going on and was on fire. Better offense>good defense
I hope there's a time that people realize that it's not Rudy, AD, etc that forgot how to defend, but Joker that is the best player in the world and probably on his way to becoming the new goat of this game one day.
Gobert was their best player out there last night. Didn’t miss a shot, 15 points, he played his role.
Jokic might be the best center in history. No blame to Gobert. No one coulda stopped this.
Can we lower the light!?!? 😂😂😂 That's rudy still seeing jokic!!!
Jokic showed why hes the GOAT right now against zesty dude and french guy 💪🔥
Rudy has 9 defense while Jokic has 10+3 offense, Jokic just out of this world in his peak now.
Playing while in the zone is the best feeling you can have in basketball. It doesn’t matter who comes your body is just locked in like a different person.
the lights were too bright
Jokic made Gobert look like a G League player.
This man just had a baby chill people
That's what you get with the 3 time MVP he's A BEAST in Stoppable!!!!
I understand Gobert's lack of offense capability may hurt them, but if they are -30 in his 21 minutes resting (G4 and 5), I wouldn't say he is "the" issue and I really doubt others opinion saying they should keep Gobert on the bench. At least these two games the paint is absolutely destroyed by the Nuggets (not only Joker himself) when Gobert is not on the floor. Give more credit to Joker, he is unguardable today.
yeah game 4 they doubled team Joker and he still scored even if you put 3 man on him
@@The15iceiceice15 Facts. I think Joker is simply unstoppable. The question become whether other Nuggets can be stopped or not.
@@The15iceiceice15 yea. They already tried diff coverages and at some point there were 3 bodies on jokic and he still scored or not suddenly pass the ball to AG.
Rudy did great but jokic just went mad. What a performance.
I was depressed after second game. I'm just glad Nuggets did not get swept. Now I'm happy.
Jokic is more dominant than Shaq in his era
I think he needs to win more then 1 championship before we say that but I will say he’s not that far behind shaq
@@raymondsims7042shaq had Kobe cuh
Stop it. Shaq was dominant being double and triple-teamed. Jokic gets single covered because teams believe that's their best chance to beat the Nuggets.
@@NatTurnerswitBurnerz Fat Shaq push people out and dunk. And got away with it. And was carried by stars like Kobe, Wade, ect. And cried about not getting mvps.
if jokic wins another 1 maybe
Gobert deserves a lot of criticism but ANT only scoring 18 tonight is also not good enough, he needs to step up
You not goin to give him slack since he was getting doubled alot??? Just asking I like to see how people think 💯💯
@@WhoAskewwwshai been getting doubled all series too 🤷♂️ ant just not in his prime yet that’s all
@@WhoAskewwwevery superstar gets doubled, it’s on him to figure it out
@@WhoAskewww Shai, Joker, Luka get doubled all the time. Out of the 18 Ant scored, 7 were from FT. But he is young, i think he will work on it as the time goes on
@@snupedummy Shai got snipers around him. Naz Reid and McDaniels couldn't make an open 3 for their lives during that game, that doesn't help...
The light is too bright for Gobert. Literally.
😂😂😂
Good one lmao
Jokic made some tough basketball it so much you can when you’re guarding the best player in the world currently.
Yeahh my Boy 🃏 Crashed out on you fam! 😂 MVP 💐
Nah Rudy i respect you at lot. I know at lot of fans will go and say outrageous crap and call you a liability, but that's not the case. You played great defense on Nikola, but he's just way too good. Even perfect defense isn't enough to stop him.
This performances talk at lot more about the greatness of Nikola Jokic than anything else. Gobert you were there, you contested all the shots, you battle him, you tried to get him out of his spot, but this damn dude is too damn good. Doesn't matter the distance, the angle, the type of shot he just keep making tough shot,after tough shot, after tough shot.
If we are labeling the best defenders base on the standard of stopping NIkola Jokic then we won't have any good defender in the league because this dude do it to everybody. AD,Bam,Embiid,Drayomond,GobertJJJ,Giannis,Victor,Chet. Jokic do some stew with all this guys. I don't understand the narrative on blaming Gobert and try to diminish how good he's on defense and take away his DpY.
I used to play as a defenseman, sometimes you just can't beat the opposition to a spot, if that player is better than you, you need to adjust, cut the pass or just let him receive it but never get by you. Next thing is get help, yet that leaves someone else open, that's when you defend in zone and sometimes you just have to bow down to that 1 guy that's better than you. MVP vs DPOY!!! MVP took that one.
Factsss!!
Alexander Walker looking like its the early 2000's rocking the FUBU. I love it.
Bro is the MVP for a reason. 40 points PLUS the assists and rebounds. He’s directly responsible for ~70 of the nuggets points, that’s crazy
Jokic has been vastly underrated and under appreciated. Denver has been a fly over basketball town for awhile, with little sprinkles of playoff appearances during the Melo/George Karl era.
The national media refuses to regard and honor the nuggets still to this day as a real championship caliber competitor. Much less recognizing jokic as a possible all time great so early in his career. He is though distinctly that. We are watching the materialization and evolution of a player who simply cannot be defended when he at full bore.
I think there's no shame in Gobert's game. He did as much as it was humanly possible, to stop Jokic. Doubt anyone can do more, on that matter. Jok is just in the league of his own. Amazing series, so far... Seriously sad that only one team gets to go further. Both deserved a spot in the finals.
My guy Alexander trying not to laugh about Rudy getting cooked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a T Wolves fan at all, but you acting like Wemby would do a better job. Man got 70 dropped on him and Jokic was toying with him as well
Big fan of both these teams, its win-win in this series. Am rooting for Denver a tad more
Jokic spending so much time with animals that he became something of an animal himself.
Rudy is a great sportsman,huge respect for he's greatest rival,to bad Denver just wasted Jokic prime years,two without Murray and this one with weak bench
BBQ GOBERT 😂😂
Jokic is a better center than Rudy Gobert and Joel Embiid combined in the NBA
U s.oming
The bright lights got Rudy
Naz Reid the only player who has made a slight difference on Jokic.
At this point Joker is on another level cant stop him u got to do de rest of the team ......but i think at this point they are losing motivation to do it .....immagine Luka against Jokic in the conference final amazing ...
The fact that you need two guys to stop Jokic show's you how good he is. Even the LAL 2020 champion roster have a hard time.
I’m feeling dawg Fubu sweater!🔥🔥
No stopping Jokić.. Only hope is to challenge him on the defense end. Not sure why Kat doesn’t do that. Jokic will give up as much as he scores on the other end.
Rudy is choking harder than that one time Draymond put him in a headlock.
Honestly Rudy shouldn’t feel bad the way Joker come out dominating nobody could guard him like nobody in the league 💪🔥
Nobody is choking! Jokic is a beast!
rudy is getting cooked, but compared to AD, Bam and others he's faced in the playoffs joker's numbers against the wolves are the "worst"
i mean, that sounds good, but Rudy outplayed his teammates, the guy needs some help.
If he is choking, what about the others? The wolves are -30 when Gobert is on the bench in G4 and 5. If you watch the game, Gobert is litterly the only guy who can kind of contest Jokic (though just not working). KAT, Naz simply got bullied and KA is... I don't know how he is slower than Jokic.
Give credit to Joker man, no need to blame a guy who is positioning well gut the opponent is just making shots.
You cant be the DPOY and be a bbq chicken at the same time 😅
against the most unstoppable player in the league? lmao that's a pretty solid case.
@@thebulwer2278 no its not he let him shoot 80% shutup
@@dez4578 typical fans know nothing about basketball. they only blame the losers everytime.
yes you can😂 gobert is the walking evidence😂.
He is the best defender. and the best defense is not enough for the best offense.
Dikembe got cooked in the playoffs a lot, Ben Wallece was solid but no way with his foul troubles could he or anybody in this era guard jokic, Dwight had the body for guarding Jokic but I proise he could still not compete with him right now, especially if he was forced to play the perimeter.
This is all SHAQ’s fault. Denver won’t lose any more games in this playoffs.
Jokic plays damn near perfect basketball.
Jokic making Gobert look like a fraud 4x DPOY 😆
This is the defending champion FMVP, 3x MVP in his prime..one man cannot stop him esp with the whistle he has
Gobert making Jokic his son
The best offense more times than not beats the best defense, it's as simple as that
0:51 The lights were too bright for Gobert💀💀💨
DPOY is supposed to slow someone down or make them work. Jokic had 40 shooting 15/22 from the field. Another year of not deserving that award.
Fair comments!
gets stopped first two games!
has one good game… HE CANT BE STOPPED 😂
Reminds me of David Robinson post game speech when he got cooked by Hakeem 😂
Bert and Ernie doing the press conference together LOL
Nuggets can play by the numbers. They mastered those numbers.
Jokic heard the noise and had to remind everyone who the best in the world is gobert shouldn’t feel too bad
remember jokic does this on every big that is tasked to defend him, no point in blaming rudy when jokic locks in and actually cares about basketball
If the DPOY that plays the same position as Jokic on the NBA's #1 defensive team can't stop Jokic, no one can. Denver's showing the world why they're defending champs and why Jokic is the league's MVP.
The light was too bright. 😂
Thought it 2005 with that FUBU jersey on lol 😂😂
Nobody realized when gobert became a father,jokic became a grandfather
He literally said that the lights were too bright :-)
They missed a lot of wide open Rudy opens in the paint though
Know one can stop Jokić 👑👑
At least he only got 40
upgrade of the Jarrett Allen meme
gobert played great. but jokic just unstoppable
DPOY getting eaten alive by the MVP is crazy. Should be a 50-50 battle, no less than 60-40. He gotta show why he won his respective award🏀
Imma keep it a buck the joker is the best in the world. Aint no one stopping that man.
It is embarrassing that journalists keep giving this guy DPOY
ESPN awards smh
Mentally tough is right. You have almost no room for mistakes. Guard him close and try your best not to foul. Look at the distance of all those shots especially the hooks. They are almost the same distance from the basket. Get him off those spots to make it tougher. It takes a lot of focus as Jokic once he hit his spots you can take those shots to the bank.
The key to winning this series? Is speed, up and down the court. That gives the Timberwolves an edge. If they force Jokic to keep up with the pace like in game 2? He'll never score 40 at that pace
and the Timberwolves win. Rudy Gobert is way too slow. Keeping the pace slow works directly into the Nuggets favor. R. Gobert is unsuccessful against Jokic. The Timberwolves have to force Jokic to run, run, run, and then run some more. Any pace with Rudy in the game? Is the perfect pace to defeat the Timberwolves. Using Rudy to set multiple picks keeps the game at a slower pace and works directly into the Nuggets hands as a favor. This offensive strategy will work against the Timberwolves. Rudy is ineffective against Jokic. Jokic is probably laughing inside. I'm on my way to the next championship, when he sees Rudy on the court. Unless the Timberwolves make adjustments to make Jokic run, to exert himself near exhaustion level, this is the only edge the Timberwolves have speed. Otherwise
this series is over.
The problem with rudy is if he cant be a factor defensively and adleast slowdown the other player hes guarding you have to sit him because he hurts you offensively and slows you down Minnesota showed they can play well and win without him vs Denver.
Mans gunna start a fire with all that hand fidgeting 😂😂😂
Wee, wee, wee. Nah bro YOU.
MAKE A STOP
Who is SGA?
Honestly, the only person that was able to come close this year (speaking only about Jokic coverage) was AD, and that's by Jokic's own words.
Rudy had no chance and Wemby doesn't have the experience.
Yea, if Joker plays like that, absolutely nobody is stopping him.
Somewhere Daymond John is smiling
Rudy is correct. If someone is in the zone, thats hard to defend. Come on. .. "it's just basketball " 😂😂😂
Well Rudy bounced back, he is a very calm and poised individual, and it helps. He gets a lot of hate but it doesn't seem to affect him too much. Well except crying after not being All Star. But it is good to never panic and it showed in game 6
Also, people crucify Rudy for this game but he did have 18 points, so when compared to 40 of Jokić, it is not the worst ratio you can get considering that Rudy is not an offensive center and has zero plays called for him. For example KAT*Naz Reid should be obtaining a similar ratio of points to Aaron Gordon so they would be more or less equal on the bigs duel, and then Ant and them guys outside should dominate Denver wings and win the game there.
Soooo don’t nobody realize that dude is rocking a FUBU sweatshirt 😂?
We know he can't stop him, the problem is his not even bothering Joker and his the DPOY
What happened when Rudy was off the floor? I think you should check the +/- of the starting lineup
Such a hot take. Rudy literally the only who can guard Jokic 1 on 1 and he is getting cooked here
@@hijisfriend9030take the L
How about giving Rudy more shots? He was 7/7 FG last night. Btw, I picked Nuggets to win and I’m sticking with it 😆😃
Looked like when Olajuwan cooked The Admiral. Ooooooooiiiieee
What is the paper in front of him
Can we lower the lights 😭 bro set himself up
Jokic had gobert in a headlock like draymond did
Jokic is the king 🤴💪🔥
When rudy stopped him in 1st 2 games,lot of people said that hes the man and that Jokic is choking! Now, they all say the opposite! Rudy is great player, its just Joker is all time legend, maybe in goat debate in couple if years and thats it!
