jokic feasted with no big to guard him

jokic feasted with no big to guard him

I mean he's averaging 27/11/9 on 56/41/88. He's always feasting. If anything this was an off night stat wise for him.

He dropped 47 on Gobert a few weeks ago.

If only the nuggets could play every team like they do against Portland/Utah

I was not at all impressed with the nuggets to be honest. Dame was awful for majority of the game, blazers turned the ball over, and really weren’t making shots. Yet somehow still came down to the wire

They were missing 4 of their core 20+ MPG players tonight and Jamal + the rest of the team was asleep until the 4th, where they clearly won the game with a few minutes to go. The Blazers are an extremely tough/deep team as well, even without CJ. The West is a blood bath.

Well I mean yeah missing millsap hurts like I said earlier but I don’t think the guys they’re missing really take much of the load off of joker. He’s gonna have to carry a massive load for this team. They don’t have a reliable 3rd option, and their 2nd option isn’t exactly the most consistent although I’m a big fan. Last year it seemed like they had a much better supporting cast. I think we’re seeing with jerami grant right now how good of a player he was and plumlee helped hold the line when jokic was out

Fair points.

Hes dominated Rudy, Horford, Ayton, Bam, Dwight, Ad (in the 2nd game before he got hurt), Brook/Giannis, Holmes

this isnt the case of Embiid who dominates wings at the 5 and weak post defenders in his biggest nights
