He’s spamming jumpshots wtf you want the refs to do? That already rewarded him three fts for foul baiting.


They want the refs to fall for his flops since he plays like a beta bitch.

Hyperbole but Alex Caruso is the guard equivalent to Ben Wallace.

He has no offensive game.

Denver is getting wide open shots and missing them.

Depth disparity is huge.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Not a fan of giving Chet and JDub some rest after them finally playing above expectations and with Jokic on the floor with 2 fouls.
