Depending on how the bench stint goes to start the 4th, Jokic might have to come back in and get 60 for the Nuggets to win.

Denver has to play more Murray/THJ backcourt. The offense absolutely hums there

What assets do they even have?

50 points in under 30 minutes is insane.

Jokic is absolutely, completely unguardable. He could easily lead the league in scoring if he wanted to. His shooting percentages on the year make no sense. :lol:

Who says he won't? People have been saying he can't keep up what he's done since about 2020, and he keeps getting better.


He's not just beating records right now, he's absolutely demolishing them. If Jokic keeps this up for the season, it is the inarguable GOAT season by a few tiers.

So ya, he's not gonna keep it going (but if he did??)

All that Jokic glazing and your guy is struggling with a 3-7 team without Kawhi. Take a seat, pal.


Joker isn’t struggling against them


Clippers on pace to put up 140. With no Kawhi. Wild comment to make.

Luka loss to sga by 31. You really want to talk? I thought luka was kobe to jokic’s mj but i was being too generous. He is more like vince carter.

First it was harden, then embiid and now luka. Just sad man.

Now i guess you will bandwagon a player that at least won a ring in sga. Sad

Clippers is such a mess.

I mean, I agree with you, but I've watched 97% of the games Jokic has ever played, and he's never been this good. He just keeps raising the ceiling somehow. It defies logic.
