I would be so sick of Jokic being such a whiny big man too if I was reffing. Eventually they’ll succumb to him, especially in Denver’s arena.

Jdub is so bad offensively...his game 3 was a fluke.

Exaggerated just like his groin injury entering the postseason. Honestly outside the Porter injury they’ve been cooking the injury report this postseason.

They have 8 players on the court this time. They'll hold on.

I'm sure it helps to have some fresh legs out there. Like I said in another post...I hope he gets some minutes in the 4th.

I been saying Strawther, Pickett, and Watson aren't even that bad of a bench. They're missing a backup C more than anything.

That's on Malone. Guy wouldnt develop anyone on the bench.

Nuggets roster is loaded.

Strawther is still a work in progress on defense unfortunately. Like his metrics are near the bottom of the entire league.

SGA has the Jimmy whistle. The refs completely change how he is allowed to be defender, every touch is a foul.

Jokic must lead the league in heaves, have to respect that he could care less about percentages.

He was a rotation player during the RS, he got injured after the AS break.

Give Jokic his rest. Problem solved.

Most underpaid player?

He just signed a 4 year/80 million dollar extension that starts next year.

Still can't believe Lakers let him go.

Yeah Lakers let go of their find. Dude was willing to take a discount too! Just so dumb.

Between the lotto rigging and the reffing always ensuring a game 7 the NBA pushes the limits. It's too WWE. Get it together Silver
