NBA fans react to Nikola Jokic's epic collapse against Timberwolves in first-round loss

It was an ugly series for the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic, losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in six games. While the Timberwolves are a very good team, they were without Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo, and Ayo Dosunmu for parts of the series.

To put things lightly, this was as bad a series loss for Jokic as possible, and fans around the NBA had a lot to say about it.

Take a look for yourself:

User thisisnotturbo had this to say:

"yeah Jokic over KD??? Jokic over Curry??? Jokic greatest ever??? greatest offensive player ever??? YEAH KILL THAT NOISE.. he's the product of being the best Center in the worst era of Centers.. and keep that same energy ya had towards Westbrook on Jokic same production."

Twitter/X user AustinGotUs was shocked that Minnesota lost, especially with Jokic and Denver being healthy. In the Nuggets' favor, they were without Aaron Gordon for some of the series.

"this is actually unbelievable lmao a healthy jokic and murray lost to a wolves team down three starters INCLUDING anthony edwards," he wrote.

Some are reminiscing on the old days, the times with Michael Porter Jr.

"I miss when my team had that dog. God, I KNEW that if Jokic got on the floor for his final stint within 10 we’re going to win. I KNEW Jamal was going to hit everything in the clutch. I KNEW AG was going to get the stop. I KNEW MPJ was going to do the goofiest thing ever seen," PastorRhett wrote.

Nikola Jokic just lost a series against the Timberwolves who played the last two games without Anthony Edwards but the media won’t say a single word of criticism about him. LeBron gets ripped to shreds for losing a few games to the Rockets at 41 years old without Luka or Reaves.
