The Nuggets' loss to the Timberwolves is an inexcusable failure for Nikola Jokic

It's an inexcusable loss in August. ... You cannot lose that series if you're the Nuggets. You cannot, if I told you Anthony Edwards is gonna miss the end of the series, Jaden McDaniels is gonna get hurt... You cannot lose that series.

Joel Embiid has successfully shifted his career narrative with this series win

I think Joel Embiid's narrative is shifting. Shifting but not [yet] shifted. ... Shifting-ING is different than -ED. Narrative shifted for sure. ... He's now shown that he's not like just a regular season guy. He's not a choker.

The narrative around Embiid has historically been centered on second-round failures and injuries; beating a -900 favorite Celtics team in Game 7 certainly impacts that.

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
