The Jokic-Wembanyama matchup has the potential to be the biggest NBA rivalry in the next 5-8 years! But for that, the Spurs must be contenders again and have at least one other max-contract-level player. Until then, it is just another 1-on-1 duel for Joker.

I tuned in half way in the 4th. What was that horrendous execution each time? I get Wemby has 5 fouls so makes sense to iso Jok but there was no movement from the other 4. Set a screen, cut or try to get open at least and create some movement. Nothing changed after second to last TO. And didn't DEN have a TO still down 3 and 1.7 left? Murray just heaved it upcourt.

Malone lost a -3 game where we lead +5 with two minutes left because we scored only 2 points in these final 2 minutes.

Also, with Gordon out, only Jokic can handle Wembanyama, so instead of Jokic playing his usual scheme he should cover every minute Wembanyama was on the court. Jokic was +7 in +/- tonight while Wembanyama was +17, which means French managed to have +24 in these few minutes of playing when Jokic was on the bench.
