Jokic's teammates failed him...AGAIN. 

Post#1 » by Handlez » Mon May 20, 2024 2:34 am

Can this 3 time MVP get at least ONE former all-star to help him?

They seriously have to tweak that roster.

His help was unbelievably bad in a game 7 at home.

Porter was bad and Murray was totally out of gas in the second half.

Booth has to get more depth this summer.

Jamal Murray had the greatest game he ever had of the playoffs and Jokic missed how many 3s?

Gobert fouled out but soft doughy serbian man won’t post up like a dominant big?

Jokic with another all-star would be trouble for the rest of the league.

They badly need another shot creator besides Jokic/Murray. MPJ is not a 3rd option (making his series against LA that much more infuriating). And obviously, they need something resembling a bench.

Joker needs a better 1st option. He plays like Magic and Murray is a bit too inconsistent

I probably would have made this thread to say the same thing but for some reason I cannot create threads anymore.

No they didn’t no excuse for Jokic taking and missing that many threes. It happens games are lost. Give credit to the twolves they played a hell of a game.

and people scoffed at a DeRozen for MPJ idea. DDR can get buckets in 4th quarters and end of games

I mean we said it from the beginning they NEED a bench if you want a dynasty.

I actually blame Malone. He spammed the two man game instead of any other action and the Nuggets role players became spectators after the 2nd quarter

MPJ is their version of Tobias Harris. Overpaid role player.

I thought Jokic did what he could. But he shot way too many 3s and not hitting them.

The guys on their team outside of Murray and Jokic are not tough shot takers, so if Jokic and Murray can't create open shots for them due to how the defense is playing, they aren't going to appear. Time to actually put some effort into adding some little pieces to fix certain things.

Like Joker but his 3s are 8/35 22%. In a 7 game series no outside shooting takes away 30% of his threat. Wolves were challenging him to shoot
