Jokic is so effortless. Barely touch the ball and the ball leaves immediately. All teammates are moving. Luka ballhog a lot and turns the ankles a lot to get the same production. Teammates have to watch.

Denver gets mismatch by size while the Mavs being punished being undersized.

Something needs to be changed.

Are you aware that Mavs had 2nd best efficient half court offense in the NBA? That means they were even better than Nuggets with "barely touching the ball Jokic". It almost doesn't get better than that.

What would you try to fix on offense to be better aside from the fact that Luka is the best or 2nd best half court player in the league?

Jokic is a unique player, Miami tried to take the ball out of his hands but his only presence generated good shoots for Denver... Btw they have Murray, Porter, Gordon and KCP. His starting 5 is stacked and very talented.

Luka is special, he can force the switch with the center and put him out the game like Gobert, Ayton and Zubac last years.
He suffers small and switchable Cs.

Luka vs Jokic could be a interesting match up, but Luka won with the NT games.

I keep thinking that Luka is the best player in the world.

I mean size is in general more sustainable than turning ankles. Stamina does matter big time.

Nuggets FO built their roster right. They got the superstar, found the sidekick and got the high level supplementary parts that filled in their stars gaps. Take notes Nico.

Also putting in my application AGAIN to target Bruce Brown somehow. That guy is fearless and a winning player.

Brown outplayed both KCP and MPJ, he was their 4th best player and had the balls to take a tough late game shots with Jokic and Murray on the floor, what a performance...
