lmao absolutely bodied ramona shelburne. i get it with annoying questions but this one seemed relatively tame, especially considering she prefaced it with “this is probably oversimplifying things…”

It’s clearly just fluff politics.
It’s glaringly clear that the heat pivoted from doubling jokic to him being a score first guy.
And jokic is a great scorer, but the team functions a lot better when he doesn’t have 4 assists and 5 turnovers

In MMA it would be a 10-7 round for Spoelstra. Nobody will be asking him this question in the future.

The best part is him saying
>we try to control what we can do
And they’ve done that very well to the tune of stealing homecourt.
They just keep running their sets, play zone like madmen.

I do not know more about basketball than Spo but I’d say there’s at least some merit to the idea that having Jokic primarily look to score rather than play-make is a good strategy.
You obviously have the 53 point game he had against Phoenix in a losing effort but beyond that when he isn’t getting guys involved Denver doesn’t really have anybody that can reliably create a shot for themselves outside of Murray.
Now the “untrained eye” part comes in when you oversimplify how easy it is to do that, because the vast majority of the time Jokic is a scorer AND a playmaker. Could be that next game Miami tries its damndest to have Jokic isolate and game plans for him to become a scorer and he still drops 39/12/14 because he is the best player in the world. It’s not that easy.

Didn’t draymond green popularize this “make jokic a passer or scorer” thing? At the very least, talk about it certainly got loud ever since his lakers nuggets podcast.
That makes dray an ‘untrained eye’ according to spo lmao.

tbf to Ramona, she prefaced the statement by saying “it might be oversimplifying it”. It seems she just wanted a statement on what they did to limit Jokic’s passing.
Spoelstra totally dissed her lol, but I think its also calculated—by shutting it down he didn’t need to discuss gameplan, and he can simply credit Jokic, and not poke the bear.

Lmao spo went after the entire nba podcasting community calling them clowns basically. That’s been their “analysis” non stop

Well yeah but they played him 1:1 knowing he’d score more and assist less. Like they weren’t just making it up.

I love Spo but respectfully he didn’t say why it’s ridiculous outside of he’s amazing at basketball lol.
It’s been a pretty strong correlation between Jokic having 20-30 with 10+ assists and his team winning, vs him having 40+ with less than 10 assists and his team losing.
But I’m sure someone will just respond with “You’re gonna tell the NBA COACH he’s WRONG?? Reeeeee” without, again, explaining anything lol.
Obviously there’s no “flip” Miami can switch on to just decide “Hey, Jokic is ONLY gonna score today. Got it?!” to arguably the greatest offensive player oat, but you obviously give yourself a much better chance to win when you don’t double him and you stay disciplined on off-ball movement to get him to look to score more….
Especially with this Denver team, who doesn’t have really any reliable off the dribble creators outside of Jokic and Murray.

Jokic only turns into a scorer when one of the following happens:
1. It’s the right basketball play 2. Teammates aren’t hitting shots 3. Nuggets are losing 4. Somebody pissed him off
That’s it. He always makes the right plays from a basketball standpoint.
SolarClipz
Spo is a dick for that one lol tf
Maybe he took the question the wrong way but if Jokic is getting 50 pts and 5 assist its much better than 20 and 20…

He should’ve played 2-3 zone with the reporters.
