Jokic stats last 9 games: 27/12/13 on 80% TS

The more Jokic defers, the less likely it is that Denver will win a championship.
Denver NEED homecourt ad to win a championship, now that the West is so packed, same as last year.
Jokic's never averaged 30ppg, despite even his running mate Jamal Murray being inconsistent.
So we'll see if 27ppg and 12ppg is enough for Denver to win the West, or whether all that passing will cost them.

I am having a very hard time telling if you're trolling or if you're being serious.

Call me when Denver win the #1 seed over OKC with Jokic averaging 12 assists per game and only 27ppg...
Never gonna happen.

"Only" 27ppg.

Just absurd on your part.

Your understanding of the game of basketball seems to be very poor. The threat of his passing is what makes him so impossible to defend. If he were a blackhole on offense, he could easily average 40 ppg on less efficiency. But his ability to create for teammates and generate such easy scoring opportunities is the reason why the Nuggets have had one of the best offenses in league history. He can control the game and generate 60+ points of offense while barely controlling the ball...that's what makes him so special.

Him scoring 30 ppg would make the team worse, not better. If you need proof...just compare this season to last season.

Amount of times Shaq averaged 30 points in his career: 0

That´s the majority of the greatest PFs and Cs of all time. All of them were the main scoring option of their team for huge parts of their career.

Also, Jokic averaged 30+ points twice in his career during the playoffs. One season being the one they won the title^^.

Crap poster makes crap posts… check his posting history.

[web123888]

Best center to ever play the game after peak Shaq and Wilt. Better than Jabbar and Olajuwon, arguably Russell too.

[CodeBreaker]

His offensive stats makes MJ's look inferior

Why would the most unstoppable scorer with the best scoring arsenal in the NBA only be scoring 27ppg in the highest scoring era in NBA history?
Why is Jokic deferring to such a less efficient streaky shooter like Jamal Murray?
Its pure undeniable logic, he's prioritizing pretty stats over winning (leaving the outcome of games in the hands of relatively unreliable shooters).

But they need Jokic to score A LOT more than 27ppg if they want to win the #1 seed in today's ultra competitive West.
And scoring over 30ppg in the playoffs won't win you a championship if you have to play Game 7 @ OKC.
And Jokic is in the easiest scoring era of all-time, so with his all-time great arsenal he should be scoring a lot more than the 90s stars did... especially the late 90s (and early 2000s) when defense ruled the NBA.

[The High Cyde]

Yes, the man is a Top 3 all time player in his prime.

[nate33]

He is unquestionably the best offensive player of all time.

You make bad takes regularly. This is another.

99% of people make bad takes regularly, so saying I make bad takes, means I make good takes.
And if Jokic is so unstoppable, why doesn't he try to carry his team's scoring?

Those 12 assists per game only have to dry up (as in his teammates miss shots) for one quarter of a game, and Denver fall further being OKC in the standings.
And make no mistake, Denver NEED the #1 seed, if their goal is to win a championship.

The goal is surely not for Jokic to have pretty stats...

If you actually think Jokic is trying to make his stats look pretty you’re completely daft and not even worth talking to.

[Lalouie]

Absolutely ridiculous

Read on Twitter

naw man. his passing makes a unicorn

theres only been one other center in the whole70odd years in the nba, and to downplay his passing is embarrassing

and the fact that the team is better when he passes makes this guys statement more moronic
AND,,,he loves passing

Most of them would probably average 30 in at least a single season in this era

I'm honestly at a loss for words. We really have someone asking why one of, if not the best passing big men of all time is using his passing to his advantage.

That's like saying Ben Wallace focused too much on rebounding and should've prioritized getting more blocks. I can't believe what I'm reading.

So Jokic has to score a lot more, but it doesn´t matter that Aaron Gordon is averaging a career high and that Denver has the best offensive rating at the moment? A that Denver just lost 1 more game than OKC until now?

Also let´s not act like OKC is this unbeatable juggernaut that has won 3 titles in a row. They went 7 games against the Nuggets last Playoffs with Aaron Gordon playing injured in game 7 and looked like they might lose against the Pacers until Haliburton was out.

Regarding home advance, the TWolves made it to the Conference Finals last seasons as the 6th seed and the whole playoff narrative for both conferences was how higher seeds were constantly losing against lower seeds.

Finally, Jokic averaged 29.6 points last season . That means he needed to score 29 more points the whole season to reach that average of 30, which you referred to initially. Now if you look at the actual game logs it´s pretty easy to figure out that he actually doesn´t stat pad, meaning that in most blowout wins he doesn´t stay in the game to get higher stats, even when he has a good game. There were a few games where he had 30-40 points in around 30 minutes of playing time, so he could have easily scored 29 more points last season if it would have been relevant to him in any form to reach that average. Instead he just took 10 and 12 shots in game 80 and 82 of the season, while his season average was 19.5 attempts per game. So he pretty much did the opposite of David Robinson in 94, or Kobe in his last game.

Lol he’s constantly breaking records

[BigGargamel]

Some really silly takes in this thread. I don't know why people opt to comment on players they obviously never watch. It's painfully obvious who talks out of their booty.

[-Sammy-]

For everyone participating in this thread: there are some amphibious RealGMers who craft their posts very precisely to get reactions. I'm not writing any names, but now that you've been toad told, don't give them what they want, which is shock-and-awe reactions to their wild & crazy takes. Starve them with silence.
