It was a crazy night for the Denver Nuggets. They dropped two home games. They have just won their first game of the series in Minnesota’s home. The irony! After becoming accustomed to all of the victories, witnessing the Nuggets flail hopelessly at the ruthless hands of the Wolves made the supporters extremely concerned. At the same time, several basketball analysts jumped ship and declared that they were done with the season. Of course, tonight’s victory was only one step. If you think Nikola Jokić was offended by these nasty words, you should reconsider.

Joining SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt on the court, the gleaming new, three-time MVP remarked, “I mean, individually, no. Probably a few males. Individually, all I wanted to do was win the following game, which we did.” 

Surprisingly, Malone’s strategy discussions and video appear to have had no impact. Speaking to the press after the game, the Nuggets coach stated that he had heard “every talking head in this country saying that the series was over, the Nuggets are done, it’s a wrap.” Malone decided to edit the videos and show them to the boys.

He was confident that if this didn’t inspire them to play aggressively, nothing would. Well, as the “Joker” pointed out, it appears to have benefitted other guys. If not him. Nonetheless, they triumphed, and the incumbent champion swore to continue until they won the series.

Nikola Jokić is known for his wisdom, which he intends to apply.

Nikola Jokić shares his game plan for Game 4 and beyond. 

Only Jokić can teach such a lesson after a hard-fought war. When everyone else in the league gets technical and discusses plans, our local horse lover devised a simple way to maintain the flow. When Van Pelt asked the Serbian big man what the Nuggets did tonight and planned to do in the future, Nikola gave the most random response ever.

“Cross the half-court in 2-3 seconds.” If we get a little fancy, that translates to speed and agility. Despite criticism for his slow moves on the court, Jokić’s performances continue to impress. Even when faced with exceptionally fast-moving athletes, the 6’11 centre has demonstrated tremendous skill in gaining the upper hand.
