  1. They've got the easiest remaining schedule too. The league is trying to gift "Joke"ic another chip.

  2. 4:18 Jokic bails Murray out of the trap, drives, dishes for a wide open 3, rebounds the miss, puts it back. Typical Jokic things.

  3. До скора сам се нервирао што Денвер лоше шутира за 3 и било је 90% утакмица где нису пребацили 5,6 погођених тројки за целу утакмицу, али им је зато шут за 2 био нереалан са гомилом асистенција. Вечерас су погодили 19 тројки и морам признати да ми се игра Денвера није свидела и изгледала добро и атрактивно као пре….у сваком случају Денвер мора подићи све сегменте игре за нешто озбиљније

  4. Honestly it looked like Hornets were commited to fill the paint and let Joker hang out outside, genius… Didn't they make their homework, man is 45% from deep this year 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

  5. This was Jokic's 55th Sombor Double I believe.
    If he had TDs instead of Sombor doubles, he would have surpassed Westbrook already (If Westbrooks's stats remained the same, of course)!

  6. The thing is that Jokic would have 47-48% 3pt shooting if not for heaves at the end of the quarters. This game he should've been 6/12 from 3pt, but he had 2 last second heaves and it's 6/14. The guy doesn't care about his percentages at all.

  7. But when fans want to be disingenuous, they’ll say Nikola doesn’t have any All Star teammates. As if that is a true measure of talent.
