Lakers 8 and 3 led by Luka and OKC led by SGA beating them down so bad that he isn’t gonna play a minute in the 4th.. head to head - sga out played Luka

So it’s still Jokic first

Sga or Giannis second

Wemby or Luka 3/4

Jokic out here making a mockery of basketball

Jokic is amazing, but 11-1,.w/o your side kick, while curb stomping the Dubs and the Lakers on B2B, it's just different stratosphere.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

OKC has a +10 net rating with Shai off the court. Even without the sidekick they still have 8 of the 10 best players in the arena every single night. There is one guy who is in a different stratosphere and his name is Sam Presti.

Exactly. And the Nuggets are one loss behind the Thunder.

Doesn't matter, they are 13 man deep and SGA generate lots of garbage time, same as last year, this level of dominance is MVP, they lost one game on 1 inch step.over the line.

It's hard to describe what I just watched tonight. Maybe his best performance ever? I don't know.

Imagine Jokic gets robbed again.

Two things are truly scary about tonight:

* If the game were closer, Jokic could easily have gotten 60 and maybe 70

* Zubac used to be one of the best Jokic defenders in the league and he got obliterated.

Jokic is now averaging 29/13/11 on 77% TS. The Nuggets are something like +20 with him on the court. What are we even talking about here?

He's the MVP and it's not close. If his shooting falls off and the Nuggets drop a few games, we can revisit this conversation.

Jokić is best player in a game, but OKC is probably heading into one of league's greatest seasons , and him, as best player will get MVP.
With them being runaway favorites to repeat title, it's fair.

LOL, you might want to take the rest of the night off my friend. Jokic is the one doing "different stratosphere" things. I don't know how you can watch basketball tonight and not come to that conclusion. :lol: People are just so tired of Jokic. He's still on a level of his own and the Nuggets are right there with OKC so far. The only way SGA gets back on top of the MVP conversation is if OKC opens up a 5-8 game lead over Denver. Until then, it's not a serious discussion.

Jokic is having the greatest statistical start ever to a season and his team is second in standings and net rating. He’s the clear leader of this race atm.

This is looking like Cavs vs GSW 2016 all over again, I wanna see Jokic pull a Lebron.
