  1. Watching Jokić play, you can also understand how "can't jump" Serbia independently freed itself from the Turks, defeated Austria-Hungary in World War I, and how in World War II it had the First Resistance Movement in Europe and is the only country to have had two of them. Should we mention the courage and skill to wage war with the NATO military-industrial complex? Triple-double.

  2. If you think Murray can leave the Nuggets without repercussions, you clearly don’t understand Serbs—or Jokic, for that matter—and what truly matters to him (them). Jokic shares a deep bond with Murray and AG, and their departure isn’t even an option if you expect Jokic to keep playing at this elite level. I get it, this might be hard to grasp for those who only care about themselves, but people like Jokic do exist.

  3. nuggets without jokić are utter dogshit. one of the four worst teams in the league. what a travesty.

  4. with the amount murray and mpj (mpj is playing pretty good this year but not 36mil good) are getting paid they could have shai and Ingram to replace both of their positions just imagine what jokic would do with that

  5. It must be exhausting for Malone to have one player who doesn't complicate things (Jokic) and one who cant do nothing without complicating things (Murray) !!

  6. Nuggets owner should offer Nikola super max contract for about half billion. If JM earn more than 200 000 000, Nikola for shure deserve more than double from Jamal.

  7. Watching this game at one point I felt frustrated for the Joker…..man needs help this is beyond ridiculous how bad Murray plays this season

  8. I got banned from Denver's subreddit for going off on Jamal Murray. Dude is a travesty. I don't care how good he was for us in the previous years, I only care what you do to contribute to the team now. Jokic is doing this every night for god knows how long now… For Jamal Murray to be a max contract player and this is the level of game you are providing to the team… People will say that he was "ok" last night by looking at the stat sheet, but whoever was watching this game live will tell you otherwise. The man is so out of it.

    I can't believe that we have to endure watching the rest of the team figuring it out, playing with no passion and fire, while Jokic is single handedly carrying this team. Makes me scared of how this could impact Jokic endurance and durability towards playoffs.

    If Jamal Murray ends up playing like this for the rest of the season… with a max contract… I can't bring myself to endure it. Last night there were Donovan Mitchell and Garland on the court, two prime examples of how a max contract player should be playing… and then you have Jamal Murray. F*ck it hurts

  9. As a Westbrook fan, I watched every Nuggets game this season so far, Jokic clearly is the best player in the world and top 15 players in the history so Please give him more help Don’t ruin the prime time of the 3x MVP

  10. That no look pass to CB was nasty.
    Best big man of all time (no disrespect to Shaq) already – he's not even 30 – and if he keeps this pace for another 10y (which won't be hard since his game doesn't depend much on athletecism) he will win another 3/4 Mvps (assuming fairness in mvp voting, which is hardly the case), will add a couple more chips and will be in the GOAT conversation with MJ and LeBron and an unanimous top 3 player of all time.

  11. Clevlend scored 22 3s, and Denver scored 6 3s… that's why they lost. Cleveland plays terribly baball, only shooting 3s, they shot more for 3 then for 2, disquating…in the Playoff they are cooced

  12. Can jokic get some help damn. He's 3rd in ppg, 1st in rebounds per game, 2nd in assist per game and 7th in steals per game. Porter and Murray are either hot or cold. The bench is horrible.

  13. 20 rebound in modern nba?
    Damn and they say today's NBA player are just better. Better at turn overs.

  14. This game Nuggets offense was decent,but they just let to many 3p. And that is not Jokers job to defend perimeter.

  15. Jokic is the most offensively gifted basketball player (in size and skill) since Lebron James. He plays with finesse and offers so much and so consistently. I hope he has a very long career.

  16. I've been watching the NBA since 1970 and was a huge Kareem fan, but I've never seen any player be more productive and impactful on a consistent basis than Jokic.

  17. They're testing that man's patience and Jokić isn't going to complain but keep playing. Chuck was right on Tuesday when he said the Nuggets are wasting this man's prime by not getting another superstar and not letting key bench player's leave. Jamal is a very bi-polar player and it seems it's true what they say, he'll only show up when they play the Lakers 🤣🤣

  18. Get some help to Joker!!!! Asap. This is once in a generation miracle man.
    Denver is an average team without Nikola, he needs a great point guard.

  19. Cavaliers got this game with 3pts shooting.
    They attempted 48, made 22 for 66pts.
    Nuggets attempted 22, made only 6 for 18 points.

    That is 48 points difference. Too big for any team.

    So, is NBA now a 3pts show game (in order to win)?
