Yes there are several. If you've gone back and forth dozens of times in this thread, surely you have 8 minutes to watch the video, detailing his poor rotations, gambling for steals, and ball watching. You asked for video of specifics, here it is. Don't dismiss it, this is what you asked for. Watch it. These are big playoff games, in a series where he lost to a younger team and had home court advantage in the series.
And yes, the narrator is annoying.
Dude it's some guy screaming to his mom to bring him cheetos and more lotion for his happy times while the video is paused and what look like random plays...
I've now watched the whole thing...I saw a few swipes behind a play on Edwards.
Overall this looks like a video against using Jokic in drop. Not the discussion of him gambling for steals. And happy to agree Jokic's not very mobile in those drop sets and Malone has to game plan around that better.
I did notice one guy in the comments said the whole channel is intended as a meme, so again I can't listen to this guy scream at his mom for more "Me time". But that seems more logical.
The guys screaming is annoying, yes. But thats besides the point. He points to specific examples of Jokic selling out/gambling for steals, not rotating, ball watching etc. These were huge games in which his team lost a 3-2 series lead as defending champions to an inexperienced Minnesota team, in embarrassing fashion. These are video examples which you asked for. The narrator, while annoying, makes sense and details each shortcoming, and how it effects his team. We both know the highlighted occurrences in this video are common for Jokic, and often worse in the regular season rather than in these huge playoff games he is detailing.
All time greats don't lose closeout game 6s by 45 points or blow 20 point game 7 second half leads at home to teams like 24' Minnesota. They just don't. His defense highlighted in this video was a big part of it.
When were the plays? Again I'm not listening to some kid scream while he frantically draws lines. Jokic looks to be moving where he's supposed to be more often than not or flat out is getting beat. I'm not seeing gambling or selling out for steals here. Gambling for position perhaps...
If we go through games with almost all big men in the game today, we'll see plays like this. We see it with Gobert who is a top 25 all time defender in league history.
