Sabonis
OKC vs. Mavs in the 1-8 matchup.
Jokic: 30 points, 10 assists, 3.4 offensive rebounds.
Luka last year: 34 points, 10 assists, 2.6 offensive rebounds.
Denver State Media: Jokic "statistically best offensive season ever" yadda yadda yadda
A fully healthy thunder team is definitely capable of beating Dallas. Every time they played this regular season, Dallas still had the matchup advantage, even with their injuries. The team that was assembled to beat the Mavs has not been on the floor this entire season.
Nuggets you are so greedy – Last year Jokic was not the best and he won MVP. He is so great but loose to Minnesota with roster that won championship year before. You have great stats because he is unique- great on offence in a specific way center and point- great for stats and top heavy roster. If he is so good you need to show more rings. Some other centers can defend but they will not gather stats. Simple if he was that good you need more rings.
SGA is top on the west without center for most of the year – but Jokic is always something statistically unseen. Have you ever thought that maybe stats are friendly to Jok because he can gather some counting stats unlike SGA.
Luka had 34-9-9 last ySeat….
Jokic mvp hands down

Thanks guys
Bout time for the Rockets to get more love from the national media! We just beat Cavs twice in a row and everyone is like meh. If we beat Boston tonight we better start getting some love!
I don't fear OKC. And personally, I think our defense in Houston is a better defense than OKC. I don't care about the numbers. OKC is soft! The Rockets are gritty as hell and very scrappy!
Toumani Camara and Deni Avdija are the 2 hustle players on the Blazers. Blazer fans want them to stay! They can trade Jerami Grant, Ayton, Thybulle..
Hey, why nobody mentioned Jabum blurry?! How often was he a All Star or All NBA, i'm asking for a friend?!
And who's the biggest Jokić merchant ever?
Greatest offensive season ever to be ….8.5 games back. This is why KD had to ask where you from
Better avoid Dallas.
The same bad narrative is starting again when it comes to MVP. Joker is MVP miles ahead of everyone else. OKC is better as a team than Denver but what Jokic does on the court SGA is not even close. When he makes a triple double not like Jokic 35 17 22, he can also be weaker 30 10 10 but unfortunately that is not seen in SGA's game. Jokic has 22 triple doubles, 7 games with one assist or rebound shy of a triple double in 40 games played. 30.1 PTS 13.4 TRB 10.2 AST. Jokic keeps Denver alive, while your SGA has a huge help and it is seen in the difference + – when they are on the court and when they are off it.
