From 4:00 to 5:00, 6 laser sharp passes for 12 easy points.

One of the GOAT passers in the NBA. Wonder if Jokic can start another career in NFL.

This game was fantastic, very playoff-like intensity and some excellent plays there.

That said, I think Philly is a concerning matchup for Jokic for a few reasons. It's clear that Embiid's size bothered Jokic, he wasn't as comfortable as he usually is on the floor. Thybulle also made it harder for Joker with his help defense. On the other side of the court, Jokic really struggled against Embiid-Harden P&R.

Keep in mind that Nuggets won this game mostly because of hot bench shooting, Jokic had negative +/- while Embiid was +1.

By the way, why is DeAndre Jordan still in the league? He's completely useless...
