Jokic has 13 assists to 14 TO's so far this series.

This is what he looks like when he is facing a legit title contender.

Whats up with you and your Joker obsession ? Wait…Lakers fan right ? Luka profile pic. Yep. All the obsessed Joker haters with the same MO.

I think the only way to cure his Jokic hate is if Jokic joined the Lakers and won them a chip. This guy was a Bron hater back in the day too before he joined the Lakers

I'm old enough to remember Bron going from being the GOAT on this forum to a guy just making movies over the course of the summer 2018. Excited to see that happen again here if Jokic walks to play with Luka.

Man that Williams play is bad and dangerous. Just watched it again.

Williams backs into Jokic as Jokic is trying to move to a spot and keeps backing up as Jokic elevates.

That could have ended very badly. Good thing it didn't.

Adelman needs to send that to the league. Not cool. Probably not intentional but dangerous nonetheless.

Jokic and the whole Denver team was bad and seemed content to go home with the split.

If he’s a Lakers fan, I can understand his hate. What Jokic did to them will take years to recover from. PTSD

There’s the thread where people ask if there’s anything Curry can do to pass LeBron and the answer is no. The same thing applies to Jokic.

Curry is arguably top 5 with another chip though.

From a competitive aspect, the Nuggets fought to keep OKC’s win to within 30. The crowd was getting anxious any time it was within 33-34 points, only for OKC to quickly bump it back up to a 40 point lead. Denver literally had nothing tonight, hopefully they come out much sharper in Denver.

As i keep saying, and as todays game beautifully illustrated, regardless of Jokics greatness if Murray, MPJ and Braun dont show up - and they were absolute no shows today - noone can carry this G league roster anywhere. I think to everyone outside superfans of SGA its pretty obvious who the best player is but what the Nuggets are putting next to him is an absolute disgrace.

Murray shows up about one in five games. MPJ even less. They came to play in one game of the Clippers series. Curious if and when they decide to bring something for their max contracts.

you can't be serious

denver put a gimmicky zone to hide jokic on d on g1 and managed to steal it in a disastrous 4th

that's fair game, props to them

okc went to the lab ans picked that zone apart. there's no new gimmick.

jokic had to play defense.

okc simply had 16/19 in the paint at the half not to mention the shooting fouls drawn.

either they design another gimmick that can keep them close or they're out, simple as that.

because they can never play d against this team with that personnel INCLUDING center.

and now they found an option to bother jokic's rebounding and hit a three.

Okc to win it all.

We have at least 5 of the hardcore LeBron stans in here (i do not call them Lakers fans because they might change their team in a few weeks if LBJ takes his talents elsewhere). They do not distribute to hate on all teams evenly but kind of focus on Steph and Jokic (not even the teams, its the players the try to drag down).

I’d love to see your posts if this was SGA losing by 50 instead of Jokic lol

They won't get past a healthy Dubs. Too bad Curry is injured.

That's not true. Jokic probably wont with the state of his team and their lack of assets, but if he ever gets up to three titles and four MVP's, it becomes a real discussion given the amount (or lack of) star help he has. Give him some seasons of Wade/Kyrie/AD level guys and he'd do pretty well i think.

Though, ya, he most likely ends his career with only 1, maybe 2, titles and settles into the 8-15 area of the GOAT's

He might be in some people’s eyes but I don’t see it. Five is probably Tim Duncan and I don’t see a very convincing case for Curry.

Thunder matchup with everyone given their versatility. Dubs went to 7 against the physical and athletic defenders the Rox have...Thunder have the same but they will also have the best player on the floor, which the Rockets didnt

[ThunderBolt]

thank you.

Finally someone realizes that the nba really wants the center of the universe to be in Oklahoma, America.

Well they once thought the new face of the league is in cleveland ohio, certainly a big market huh?

SGA is the new golden boy and the way is paved by all means.

Here's the play. Super dangerous. Basically an undercut with Williams backing in.

Both of Jokic's knees could have been taken out.

That is not ok. I don't think it was intentional, but it's still not good.

Anthony Edwards is that guy.

Fully expected OKC to make a statement after G1 but not like this lol
Still have OKC in 6 at most, they're the better team adnd it's not really close

They also took out Ja Morant when the grizzlies were leading by 30. But i'm sure that was just their great defense. Them getting away with it consistently should tell us enough.

Jokic literally elbows Dort in the face in that clip
