Kris Dunn was a top 5 pick, turned role player. This league is tough.

I'd stop doubling and tripling Jokic and stop everyone else from getting a rhythm.

Make Jokic be a scorer.

Kawhi is playing out of his mind

Clippers are going for the strip on Jokic and he's ready for it every time

Lmao Murray picked him up like a child after trash Powell shoved him before that.

Jokic with an elbow to the back of Zu

Murray looking like he wanted to body slam Norm.

Powell did a blatant push off before so I don't mind the pickup.

He can't create any space because as tall as he is, he's unathletic than a mf'er. So it's almost impossible for him to create his own against active defense. So the only thing he has left is spot up shooting, which he's streaky with.

Since he's tall but so slow and unathletic, he can't hustle across the court for rebounds and loose balls like Braun can. Or defend like Gordon can. He has a KD body type with 5% of KD's athletic gifts. Most people in the NBA his size and length are above average athletes but he moves like he's in quicksand and it affects every part of his game.


They also don't really run him off screens. Nor do they move him off ball, with weakside actions. The two man actions are pretty much half their offense, which is one of the reasons they're elite on offense, but also why they shoot the least amount of 3's in the league.


Nah bro they do run him off screens, I see it, it's just he's soooooo slow turning the corner around them that it gives the defense time to recover and he does exactly what I say he does. ie. Start to shoot and then pull back cause the defender is there, then pass out.

He's literally so slow that him running off screens looks like him not doing it.
