Nuggets now 26-2 this season when Jokic has a triple double
UPDATE: Denver (48-24) just beat the Nets on 3/19/23. Jokic had a triple double.
...........Denver now 26-2 when Jokic has a triple double this season
***********
Denver (38-17) defeats Minnesota tonight as Jokic has 20/12/16 in the contest. The Nuggets improve to 19-0 on the year when Jokic has a triple double in a game.
Jokic also leads the NBA in total assists after tonight's games. Jokic has 481 assists on the year, followed closely by Trae Young with 479 assists.
The last (and only, I think) time a center led the league in total assists was the 1967-68 season, when Wilt tallied 702 dimes to lead the association.
Wilt won his 4th and final regular season MVP that year.

Big tipper killing it! Every time he's on the floor the Nuggets always have a fighting chance and it was amazing that they just punched Minnesota in the mouth from the tip off and joker played Gobert off the floor.

Re: Nuggets now 19-0 when Jokic has a triple double; he leads NBA in total assists
The Nuggets are so far ahead of the rest of the west at this point it’s not inconceivable that they will cruise through the west all the way to the finals.
If they can somehow get a backup Center and a wing defender in the trade market it’s just becomes scary.

Their bench needs a lot of help. I do think they'll trade Bones, and they should get a good return.
Green looks like the cliff has arrived.
Also, they need to work out how to maximize Murray. Murray was out tonight and the offense looked great. He has to stay "in pocket" in the offense (and with the second unit).
I personally think they're a year away, but we'll see. They're really good when they're in the zone.

If they can get Drummond for bones that will absolutely shore up their backup C position. Or sign Dedmond off the buyout market.
That’s why I said they need another wing defender given Jeff Green and guys like Cancar are not adequate

A year away my ass. They've gotten SO much better SO fast over the regular season that it's incredible to see. 22-4 the last 26 games with Jokic in the lineup. And you'd be hard-pressed to find any duo in the entire league that consistently ups their game in the playoffs the way that Murray and Jokic do. I think they're the clear favorites in the West at this point and are just about neck and neck with Boston. I don't even think there's a team in the West I'd give a 1 in 3 chance of beating them right now. The window's now. It's time to strike.

They definitely need depth. The rotation they have right now is fantastic, but one or two injuries and you get into some players that you don't want to play really fast. Maybe one small deal at the deadline and one guy in the buyout market. They could definitely use one more perimeter player and a backup big.

I would gauge the market for Andre Drummond with Chicago. Bones for Drummond would be a great get for both teams but more so Denver. If not someone like a defensive minded big like Dedmond off the buyout
Cam Reddish would be another good get for them

Joel Embiid is a pretty smart guy, which I why I get disappointed that he thinks he’s in the same class as Jokic. Joel laboriously dominates physically. Joker casually dominates mentally.

Re: Nuggets now 19-0 when Jokic has a triple double; he leads NBA in total assists
And his most impressive stat is probably the fact that he has only shot under 50% once this season, and that was in October...

Re: Nuggets now 19-0 when Jokic has a triple double; he leads NBA in total assists
Imagine if he stat-padded and played until the end in the blowouts, instead of missing quite a few more triple-doubles by a single rebound or an assist. That record would probably be something like 24-25 to 0.

This guy was actually a decent dog to win MVP at the start of the year. I should've tried to get some money down on him.

Wow, seriously? That's completely insane.
I just looked it up.
The record for most games above 50% (minimum 20ppg) was Artis Gilmore who did it 66 times in 81 games ('84-'85)
The record for most games above 50% (minimum 25ppg) was Shaq who did it 65 times in 81 games ('93-'94)
Jokic currently has 45 out of 46 games.

Jokic is the only player with a chance of reaching Michael Jordan level of greatness.

He doesn't deserve MVP. His team wins every time he has a triple double.
Why doesn't he get a triple double every game so then his team can win every game?
Lazy.

Re: Nuggets now 19-0 when Jokic has a triple double; he leads NBA in total assists
Previous years' MVP and the Nuggets did not even have the best record in the league right? This season, he might lead Denver to the #1 slot, so poor Embiid and others, he's got this third straight MVP in the bag...
