Thunder need to find a way to get Jokic the ball on the low block. Maybe something like a flex action with him cutting across the lane to the box off a cross screen

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned his elbow. Jokic hasn’t mentioned it and neither have the Nuggets but clearly it’s something new hence the sleeve. He’s missing FTs too

This is the worse I seen Jokic play ever in a half. Yes Okc defense has been great but jokic doing some stupid stuff. Double dribble. I think that’s the first time jokic ever double dribble in a game. He is playing like ass

Down 5 against this vaunted RefKC defense that hacks, grabs, pushes all game long plus having 3 extra players on the court to carry them while Jokic playing like Gobert. Nuggets are in great shape to win this game.

Difference is you won’t hear anyone claiming OKC doesn’t have enough talent around SGA. Jokic is playing with plumbers and they’re carrying him hard right now.

Sga and Jokic with underwhelming halfs. Game is right there for the taking for either MVP
