The Bulls are arguably a better team than their current record shows, but still should not be a problem for the Nuggets if we take this game enough seriously. A very similar case to the previous game vs 2023-disappointing but in general good Raptors team which almost upset us in Denver because of our wrong mindset. As I repeated often after the trade deadline it's not anymore about WC#1 seed but NBA#1 seed and franchise-best ever %%% record, so every next win is much more important than it seems.

Denver is about to bounce out in the first round of the play offs if Jokic continues with this passive crap when he takes only 3,4 shots at the half time. And this crap is going on for months now this season. He's the superstar on the team and he has to set up the pace in every game.

He did exactly that last year and they were bounced in the first round anyway. I trust he knows what he's doing.

He' needs to show the same type of aggression this season. He can not let his teammates gunning like crazy taking all kind of bad shots and him just being the spectator out there . The last two games team was struggling offensively and Jokic was just jogging up and down the court, that can't happen to the leader and the beast player on the team . He can be the both good scorer and the facilitator on the team, when Jokic is aggressive that's when Denver is the most dangerous as the team. He can't come to the game and have only 2,3 shot attempts for the entire half, basketball is the game of the rhythm, last night he didn't attempt shots in the first half, shots from good positions and then at the end of the third quarter he was taking bunch of bad three point shots, like out of anger , thats counter productive for the team. The good offense is not MPJ dribbling the ball down the court and pulling up the three shot when the offense is not even set yet, even if he makes them. I also blame Malone for watching the same crap game after game and not making any adjustments , thats an example of bad coaching.
