Gobert +2 on the court

If Jokic is +20, what do you think this tells you? That Gobert is out there for non-Jokic minutes and sitting for Jokic minutes, making your stat worthless..

Welp, Edwards was due for a stinker, and they aren’t winning without a strong performance from Ant.

I know Shaq, Barkley, Perkins, etc are mad as hell right now :rofl:

MJ was a much more dynamic offensively player than ANT

A simple double team won’t make him this ineffective

If you don't like Jokic or Denver basketball, you don't like basketball

Nah, that counts as a team turnover, not an individual turnover

Masterclass. Nikola Jokic

To be fair being the Goat Timberwolves team is like being the tallest dwarf

No offense Wolves fans but there havent been much worse North American franchises than yall

Shot clock violations are team turnovers and don't count towards any individual player.

Jokic has an argument for the actual greatest of all time peak

OverAndOut · Post #7792 » by **OverAndOut** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:05 am

Against the #1 defense in the league: 40/7/13 on 15/22 shooting, 0 TO, +21

When has Gobert been destroyed?

When hasnt he is a better question

Deandre put up 15/14 on .632ts against him

Capela was regularly bodying him

His last name might as well be Jokic at this point

Hes like the Demar Derozan of bigs not in playstyle obviously but how badly they dropoff from Rs to Ps

What does that have to do with anything? Was the defense better with or without him? That's his job...

MAN DEFENSE isn't is primary role/value.

I had the winner of this series taking it all.
I had Denver in 7. I did not think the first four games would be all home losses. But after the last game I did have it swapping to all home wins.

Lost in Denver still being dominant these playoffs is Murray has been completely mid. You could make a strong case Murray hasnt even been a top 3 Nugget these playoffs and it doesnt matter. Nuggets are still the team to beat b/c of Jokic.

He’s been the best player since after the bubble and when he finally got in shape. He’s an all timer for sure

Braun played almost no mins last series. That's how exposed Minny is right now.

Eyatoma might argue this

Nuggets need to give a big raise to whichever bench guy was texting Gilbert Arenas.

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
