That windup was pretty strong

In all seriousness the responsibility for the PNR defense is collective.

The guards are dying on every screen, so Jokic is often stuck in space guarding two players at once.

That's like the Knicks PNR defense where Noel or Mitch had to guard two offensive players because Payton was stuck behind the action.

But Jokic needs to put more effort into contesting shots by CP3 when he does pull up.

Let's just not underestimate the impact of the guards defense. The Nuggets did a much better job containing the PNR with Gary Harris.

One of the truly stupid moves by a star. Yeah it's soft for years gone by but you're always getting tossed when you wind up like that in today's NBA. It's not like he played in a different era, he's always played in this soft league, should know better.

He could’ve hurt Payne there. Idiotic move by Jokic in his most important game of his career
