Nuggets will respond to being eliminated! Jokic will drink to relieve his worries. Gordon complains: Curry Tatum is exhausted and injured

On May 19, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder in the away game in the NBA playoffs in tiebreak, and were eliminated 3-4 in total score, and ended in the semi-finals for two consecutive years. After the game, Jokic revealed that he had advised Gordon not to play with injuries. Gordon complained about the schedule and bluntly said that Curry, Tatum, Lillard and others were exhausted and injured, and the healthiest team could finally win.

Nuggets lost a crushing defeat. After the game, when talking about whether the Nuggets are capable of winning the championship, Jokic said: I mean, we didn't do it. In addition, I don't like to talk about the topic of "if", anyway, we didn't win the championship this year.

Speaking of Nuggets acting coach Adelman, Jokic said: His position is difficult. He only has 3 games to change the situation. I think he changed the team's energy and awakened the players. Everyone is more motivated, and he has given us a new belief.

Regarding whether Adelman can become a regular person, Jokic said: This shouldn't be asked, my salary level is not qualified to manage this.

Speaking of Gordon playing with an injury, Jokic said: I told him not to play. You can see that he is a little struggling on the court, and it is difficult to move. He is still alive (laughs), he comes on the field to fight with us, and we are only grateful for it.

Speaking of the topic of lineup depth, Jokic said: We do need more depth. It looks like those teams with longer rotations and deeper benches are winning games like the Pacers, Thunder and Timberwolves.

When asked what is the difference between this offseason and last year, Jokic said: Let's wait and see. As of now, I may be drinking a lot of beer in the next few days.

Talking about the intensive playoff schedule, Gordon said: You have also seen the situation in the league - Curry's hamstring injury, Tatum, Lillard, and players in the league have suffered fatigue injuries due to the intensive schedule. Many times, the team that wins in the end is the healthiest team, not necessarily the strongest team (wins), and the healthiest team can win.

continued: If there are a few more days between the two games of the playoffs, even if you play until the tiebreak, of course, teams that end the series early should get a break, but if (between the two games) a fulfillment day and a recovery day will be arranged, the game will be better.

Speaking of Adelman, Gordon said: I love him, I hope he is still here next year; I hope he can become our assistant coach. I hope he has time throughout the offseason and throughout the training camp to perfect his coaching philosophy.

Speaking of being eliminated, Porter Jr. said: Overall, there are many parts of this playoff series that are frustrating. I didn't play as well as I should. I had to find ways to get my body in a better shape and become a better player than I am now.

in the tiebreak, Porter made 23 minutes and 13 seconds, made 3 of 8 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and scored only 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.
