Team JOKIC all day. All ways. Always.
Jaden had no business doing this. He wanted smoke and got it.
Plus why he reaches Jokicยดs jersey like that ? U mean you can
lift Joker ? YOU ?? ๐๐

Daniels still wouldn’t be intimidated if it was regular season, I’ve seen lil guys work big dudes over before so joker best not try running up on Daniel’s like that in regular season.

So why fine mcdaniels? They ride these white hypes hard
We just seen ayton get ejected for accidentally foul
Jokic shouldve been been fined with heavy consequences almost till suspended a game
Jaden was even pressing an issue

Look Wolves force Jokic to take Jumpshots heโs not as effective heโs either gonna hit or miss. Heโs not Steph Curry or Carmelo in the mid range or even Dirk. Thatโs literally it playoffs is about Stars not role players even tho they could have a moment itโs not moments.

Her question was why doesnโt SAS keep that energy if another superstar wouldโve exploded despite being blown out and he completely missed it.

Stephen is such an unserious loser for even suggesting that if it was a regular season game, Jokiฤ wouldโve punched the guy in the face. It is so stupid and farcical and so clearly not true, but this man will say anything for the drama.
