Jokic gonna have to play 43mpg.

Cant believe how good his touch is around the rim.

Complete brain fart of a play, bench worthy for sure
Sure enough, he's on the bench.

The softness of Jokic's touch on those short shots is insane.

That Murray post up was terrible, glad a foul was called to save him from taking that shot.

On the contrary, you can see it as "If the Nuggets need these kinds of runs to stay in games they are cooked".

Harden tried to foul baiting twice and refs haven’t fallen for it yet. Hopefully that continues.

there's a reason Jokic was drafted during a taco bell commercial, his lateral movement is not NBA level even though his mind is all time great.

He makes Gobert look like Draymond in terms of defensive rotation speed.
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player
