Michael Porter Jr can't miss

He's playing defense now since he wisely got called out on it. Great #3 in a great situation.

He made some nice passes inside to AG to this series. Looking more well rounded on offense lately.

Jokic assisted on 17 of the 20 threes MPJ made. Tell me again how most of the credit doesn't belong to Jokic?

Agreed. As long as you keep it simple for MPJ ( no dribbles, catch&shoot) he can be elite at his role. Which he has been so far.

He was playing like KD without handles this series. Great great play.

He's a fantastic offensive player and has been since he entered the league.

He's never got the credit he deserves and people have just constantly looked to bag on him.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!! You're not supposed to acknowledge his existence...

bros playing out of his mind right now for sure. H'e just further legitimizing why Denver has the best chance to win this year and repeat.

I am more impressed with his defense and rebounding than his shooting. I always knew he could shoot the leather off of the ball. His defense has improved so much since coming into the league.

He was absolutely incredible this series - easily our second best player.

Murray needs to look for him more and stop settling for so many tough middies. An MPJ contested 3 is a higher value shot.

I see what you did there

Tough shot making is a real skill and demoralizing to defend.

What? 125 games played over first four years still getting a max contract is huge recognition and credit with real $...

Dude was incredible against the Lakers. Absolutely unconscious. He’ll be a bit more tested against the Wolves but I think he’s legit arrived and will once again be the best release valve in the playoffs. The defense and rebounding is just gravy. The contests and length against him don’t bother him cause he’s tall af himself. Nugs Wolves series is going to be so much fun haha

Very impressed with him. Last year, Nuggets closed a lot of playoff games with Bruce instead with how inconsistent MPJ was.

Damn... didn't even realize I did that loll

I got some irrational satisfaction seeing him hit those contested 18-20 footers in game 3. They were bail out shots with the shot clock about to expire so it was ok :lol:

He's on a max for a reason. I think people focus too much on Jokic and forget he has a heck of a team around him.
