Jok might average 27-13-11, on 80%, top 10 in steals, seed 1/2, 60+ wins and still not the MVP…btw efficiency is the king that's what decides games, too bad it's almost never mainstream conversation, it's gonna be: BUT LUKA HAS 35pts (nevermind it's below 50%FG)
Vot with the good game take. There were like like 8 possessions of straight misses. The defense needs to step up. Scoring will come with the flow of the game. But lock people down and the games will be easier
Joker …. IS…. The MVP …IS The GOAT!!!!!!!!!! F’U’ E$PN Talking Head dip💩$!

Cam is good. I have no worries about him.
You know what is the solution for Cam – He needs to drink couple of shots of rakija before the game and the thinking will stop xD
This team is good, still they need to improve in order to win OKC in playoffs. But there is plenty of time to achieve that. On the other side, OKC can't improve. They are what they were last season.
Our bench is so deep this year everyone literally just forgot Pwat this game 🎱
Last year we were ATROCIOUS after a 3 day break, it seems the trend continues. That said I'm scared to play the wolves Saturday because of that. But if we can pull that off, I'll go bonkers
How rough did Jamal Murray look out there? Also, why is he trying to look like Sideshow Bob?
Anyone that shoot below 50% should be ignored in scorer list
D-LINE has character of an organic cow pie and DNVR is serving ti to its audience. :)))
Cam might benefit from a diet of G-League and microdosing to get his mojo back. Go Cam!
Agree with Vogt and Adam's points on CB. Nuggets is winning games right now, but there will come a time later in the regular season or in the playoffs that CB has to explore more on his offensive game. He just needs to diversify his defense so he can be less predictable and less of an offensive liability on the floor. CB is just trying to fit into the Nuggets system as a complimentary role player, but the best way to actually fit in is to become a respectable shooter and not having to pass the ball back to Jokic every single time when the driving lane gets cut off. To me it is not a question of WANT TO but does he HAVE the ability to knock down those shots that opponents make him take. If the mid-range is available to him, can he knock down his pull up jumper? Or on a dribble hand-off or in transition, if the opponent sag off on him on the 3 pt line, can he just confidently rise up for a 3 without hesitation? A SG who is afraid to shoot the ball or doesn't believe in his shot can be easily game planned in the playoffs and would be considered a weak link on the floor. CB should at least incorporate more 3s into his shot distribution and be comfortable taking more 3s in a game. Otherwise, when the bright light hits in the playoffs, he won't be used to taking higher volume 3s and will start bricking them.
Jokic not complaining to refs is part of his ascension this year. He had 3-4 plays every game last year where he'd give up in the first 5-6 seconds because of a horrendous no-call, and now he's like "eff it, if the refs swallowed their whistles, then I'm just going to bowl these people over and score." — +4 plays means he's adding like 3 pts and 2 assists to his game totals.
D-Line was right. Woke at 3:30 listening at 4 😂😂
Johnson 🫤
Still think we need a proper backup PG
How would you guy’s do playing Jokic horse..
best podcast in the game
and yet, if you check the ESPN home page for basketball, they mention Jalen Brunson, SGA having a double-double, Kely Oubre Jr. having the game-winner, the new ASG format, Draymond Green "questioning the Warriors commitment to winning"……… you cannot find one mention of Nikola Jokic and his master class from last night's game on the home page…. the dude is going on 6 consecutive years of undisputed #1 NBA player in the world, and yet, the way he is covered by the media remains insulting smh
Jokic is on pace to have the most efficiently dominant season we have ever seen! he remains the most amazing player to watch and it aint close imo
Lol, even tho Cam is struggling he's been an improvement over MPJ as a whole. Stays healthy (knock on wood) and plays much more serious defense.
His shot will come
I think its hilarious Jokic just sitting on the bench with his legs crossed chillin. Nobody's loving their new bench more than him.
The non-Jokić minutes in the 4th quarter created the decisive gap. Having that kind of a bench, with Bruce and Valančiūnas leading the way, is the path to a seriously good record. Jokić only had to play 32:47 – because he has a super-competent backup and because the "supporting" cast rocks. It also means there isn't enormous pressure on any one particular individual to do it all. And the team can live with Cam J finding his feet.
its amazing how awful the Nuggets bench has been during the Jokic era… we have set the bar so low – that games like this seem like a HUGE victory, when in reality they were just barely above a positive +/- without Jokic, got outscored 2x head-to-head vs the Kings bench, and THAT is a big Nuggets victory!!!!! we just ask for them to break even. When Jokic goes to the bench and we are up 8, can they please just still have a 1 point lead when Jokic checks back in – that is all! with a break-even bench, the Nuggets should've had a legit case for 2-3x titles rather than just one during this Jokic-dominant-run
Sisifician manner….nice
Haven't watched the game but I wonder if the defense is good this season compared to previous ones. I think Denver usually focuses too much on offensive plays instead of focusing on defensive plays. Since defense wins the game. I think every year I hear plays related to offense, and not much to defense. Even though the roaster is better this year by a lot. I think defense is where the.focus should be.
Don’t give up on Cam!!! Once he relaxes and just plays instead of thinks…. It will click and he will become a part of the TAO of BBall – which is The Jokic WAY!
