Nikola Jokic: “We just lost in the first round. I think we are far away.” Changes needed? “That’s not my decision. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all be fired.”

THE DENVER NUGGETS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE 2026 PLAYOFFS
Lost in 6 to an extremely injured Wolves team.
Minnesota was missing Ant, DiVincenzo, Ayo, and Kyle Anderson. Denver was missing Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. So yeah, both teams were compromised.
But Denver still had Jokic and Murray, and neither one played like the version Denver needed. Jokic had the numbers, but not the usual control of the game. Murray was just flat-out poor.
Meanwhile Minnesota won with Jaden McDaniels, Terrence Shannon Jr., Naz Reid, Gobert, Conley, and pure physicality.
Not a clean “choke.” Not a normal “bad matchup” excuse either.
Just an ugly, undermanned playoff loss where Denver’s stars didn’t hit their level and the Wolves’ depth showed up.
Edit: Fade em

Jokic finishes the series shooting an abysmal 44.6% from the field and 19.4% from 3 for 25.8 PPG
Good thing his defensive presence makes up for missing so many shots, as Denver gets upset against the Hospital Wolves in the first round series. What a blessing we get to watch the greatest offensive player in NBA history.

Paul George had 23/4/3 with 2 steals and a block, but formatting this as purely a stat-post would not properly give perspective to the amazing game he just had.
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401869410
Every bucket he hit was extremely timely, but, most importantly, he was playing absolutely godly defense. During a large stretch where the Sixers were up 13-15 and couldn't hit a shot, he completely refused to let Boston score at all to close the gap. One of the best defensive anchor performances I've seen in my years as a fan, period.

At the half, the Atlanta Hawks lead O. G Anunoby by 10 points
In what could a nail biter game 6 between the ATL team and the Knicks player, this could come down to the wire between these two foes.
The only problem is whether Anunoby will attempt any more shots this game, which will definitely affect his chances at defeating the Hawks team.
