Imagine giving credit to a loser. Go win a championship if you want some credit.


Stop this nonsense


First of all, he did win a championship and the narrative was, “He’s never beat a 50 win team! He had the easiest path ever! Jamal Murray played well!”

Second of all, does Jordan get no credit for 1986? Lebron for 2018? Elgin Baylor for 1962? Jerry West for 1969? Charles Barkley for 1993?
Win a championship as in go win another one.

Nobody is praising someone for losing in the 2nd round. What kind of weird crap is that.

Turn on your tv Ant is getting blame because he didn't do enough to lead his team to the Finals.

Jokic will be fine, but this idea we have to praise him for every single thing is crazy. This topic is honestly sad.

Will brunson or Mitchell get more credit if the Pacers win it all? Will Jokic get less credit if OKC lose in the finals?

The Thunder are a historically great defense and Jokic did much better than Ant.

Jokic: 28, 14, and 6, 59.2 TS%, 23.1 GmSc, lost in 7

Ant: 23, 7, and 5, 56.9 TS%, 15.7 GmSc, lost in 5

Agreed. Denver played the most basic zone defense and dared the others on OKC to make open jumpshots and they couldn't for the majority of that series. I think Jalen Williams shot 37 percent for the series and imagine what his numbers looked like before having a huge game 7.

Its only seen as trolling by those who just want to go overboard and give the overwhelming credit to Jokic for "carrying" Denver to 3 wins. It's seen as a slight to his greatness i guess if you just state the facts that OKC simply shot terribly.


Simply shot terribly is the extent of your basketball analysis?
I guess the Wolves also simply shot terribly with no relation to how OKC defended them...


You think denvers zone was the reason OKC was missing looks, and that Williams was shooting low 30% through 6 games on shots he normally makes, like in the Minnesota series? And that Jokic played a big part in that (since this thread is about crediting Jokic, instead of Denver)?


Yes i think that the box and one that Denver played realy disruptef OKCs offense because non of them are reliable shooters and it made SGAs drives much less effective. J Dub is also a driver and he was neutralised by the zone.
Jokic played his part in the scheme. He was not Olajuwon out there but he was not a liability either. If we are being honest he was pretty good at disrupting passes, securing rebounds and just being a big body that detered drives in the zone.

Ant beat Jokic.

Are you rewarding players for great stats in a losing effort?

Did you reward Jokic for getting blown out in game 7 vs the Thunder?

Did you reward Jokic for early vacation to Serbia?

Did you reward Jokic because SGA beat him in the playoffs and won the MVP?

Is there anything Jokic can't do?

He gets credit in wins. He gets credit in losses. He gets credit when he's not even playing.


Jokic fans are something else. :lol:

You may not be aware of this why do people only blame Jokic teammates when they lose?

If it's a 5 vs 5 sport then you should get blame just like the other 4 players on the court with you. I was taught you lose as a team and you win as a team.

No single player is above criticism.

This is a pathetic thread. Asking for sympathy for the best player in the world is crazy. Again LeBron and MJ didn't get praise for losing in the 2nd Rd. Why the hell should we throw a celebration for a guy who loss in the 2nd Rd?


It's what you Jokic fans don't understand. Stop feeling sorry for your Jokic. He can't win a championship every year. But to celebrate him as if he won something is crazy. There should be no celebration for Jokic he didn't win the MVP or the championship. Let him enjoy his vacation he will be relevant once the playoffs end. :D

But his season should be celebrated. He put together one of the best offensive seasons any player has ever had. If you should only celebrate a season when you win a chip or an MVP then almost everything doesn't matter. If you're mad that Jokic fans are trying to gas him up then maybe you should reflect why you're always in the replies desperately trying to prove them wrong. At least delusional fanboys have their feelings rooted in some kind of positivity, delusional haters are being driven by negativity, let go of the hate brother.

If we celebrating Jokic season then why aren't we celebrating Shai/Dmitch/Giannis/Tatum?

He wasn't the only player who made 1st team. We don't celebrate those other players because nobody cares. It's only Jokic fans looking for sympathy.

Just stop bro. You know what you're doing is insecure. You want us to praise your favorite player and nobody cares because there is nothing to praise. We praise winning. Indiana/OKC are the only players who should be getting praise right now. Everyone else failed this season. It's just the truth.

So basically if Shai loses this year, he sucks and it was a lost year?

What idiotic logic. Yes the point is to win it all, but a player can still have a magical year worthy of celebration even if they don’t win the chip.

Mitchell had a great year too
So did Giannis
So did Tatum.

But please, continue to dwell in your feelings of hatred and self pity.
