He seems like he would be annoying to play with.

An aggressive Jokic is a good Jokic.

He plays better on the road. Think he has a chip on his shoulder with wanting to show up opposing fans.

Early offense cross screen into a re screen Suns. Missed shot but the Suns got some fire.
Joker gotta go into scorer mode. Maybe they’ll get better as the game go along but there’s a lack of playmakers on the court for Denver. Statistically some great finishers but no creation on that roster.

That’s kind of silly. They’re one of the best 8 teams in the league, at least. And they’re missing one half of their heart and soul for playoff basketball. When Murray went down, plenty of people said first round exit was probable. I would hope they can make a series of it in the second round, but they have run into what looks like the WCF champs.

It kind of feels like nothing bad ever happens when Jokic drives the hoop. Why not do it every time?

By the fourth quarter he'd be gassed.

This series is a sweep. Suns really are as connected as any team in the playoffs right now. Crazy chemistry.

Your transition defense shouldnt be this bad in the playoffs. Inexcusable lack of Iq and effort by Denver

Lol. Booker didn’t want to hurt his shooting percentage from 3. So faked a half court heave at the end of the quarter.

Lame of Booker to preserve the fg% in the playoffs.

is not as simple, nurkic may be close to ayton in defense but suns are just much better at team defense than portland

they will make life though for jokic to score without overcommiting and getting him easy assists
