Crazy for them to be 11-10 with Jokic having one of the best seasons of all-time.

That franchise doesn't deserve Jokic. Most FOs could turn that opportunity into a 3 or 4 year dynasty. As it is....looks like it's gonna be one and done.

Such an easy player to build around and they can't do it.

That new book about him "why so serious" looks really interesting. Such a bizarre backstory. He's gotta be the most reluctant star athlete of this generation. I think Usain Bolt was a little like that too but not close to jokic's level.

A damn shame they are wasting his prime like this.

Their bench is just a dumpster fire.

Their tank grows, while his trade value is gone.

I miss Siakam the player but I sure don’t miss him complaining both ends of the floor constantly.

That's an awful loss by the Pacers. Hornets on a 2nd night of a back to back, on top of them missing Lamelo

Injuries or not, Haliburton is completely different player after game 65 and making all-nba

Haliburton on a super max is absolutely disgusting.

Haliburton should be getting torn to shreds in the media. What a collapse.

Jokic imo has had the best peak of any player in NBA history. I would not take anyone over Jokic including Jordan and James if I had to choose any player's best 4 year stretch. This dude is absolutely a cheat code if there ever was one.

I don't want to hear that he's injured either. He got his All-NBA and money, and he's out there playing so we can assume he's fine. He doesn't seem injured when he has time for that show, and WWE. He also looks pretty spry and nimble when he prances around after making a big 3 (although that has happened very few times this season).

I wasn’t there for Jordan so I can’t speak to it but Lebron was dragging teams with Mo Williams as his 2nd best player to 60 wins. With elite 2 way play.

Denver will hold on to him until he retires but can you imagine OKC unloads 10 FRPs for him?

Pensare is such an idiot. Why does anyone listen to him in the first place. All he does is publically spew hate for point guards. Messiah was a Lowry hater too if memory serves.

He decided to generate a career out of publicaly spewing hate for raptor point guards. First Lowry, then fred, then Dennis, now davion.

Yeah, while in a weak Eastern Conference. I think Jokic could easily do the same, and he has shown a knack for dragging teams. He is basically that entire Nuggets. They're a lot worse than he makes them seem too.
