I feel like Jokic is so mentally tired of having to carry the offensive load for this team, that he's willing to gamble quarters on some games just to see if the team will step up. Just like today, Jokic was pretty much not scoring as he usually would for 3 quarters, I expected him to take over on the 4th, but he only shot 3 times, which is too low for the team's first option. I'm not blaming this loss on him at all, just sharing some thoughts / observation, I think there's something with Jokic mentally, like he's exhausted or something. Maybe it's just this game.
Weak coach. Jokic doesn't care to play defense. Bruce Brown is washed. Spencer Jones???? Why not just play Val more minutes (only played 12) next to Jokic? Why not try Holmes to see if he can give us something in the front court. I'd rather get him going then using Jones in the starting lineup. Just terribly mismanaged. Someone needs to light a fire under Jokic.
Fake fans in the comments asking to sack DA an Jokic every time they lose a game is hilarious. Those pack of losers shouldn't be allowed to celebrate when we win either. Disgraceful behavior.
Not sure who is more pathetic, coach or defense. This guy won't last long as a coach.
Change the coach, because he does not respect the rules of the game so far, he imposes some of his desperately bad visions, he ignores the best player. The Nuggets will not even get through the first round of the playoffs with this coach. This is a green coach and his EGO is a plus. Watson catches the rebound from Jokić's hands and thus shows disrespect and then passes the ball to Jokić, and that jump would be the tenth. Plus, they don't give the ball to Jokić in the third quarter, is that some kind of disrespect from Jokić? Does the owner of Denver watch the games, they give 136 points and lose? That's because minor players inflate the stats.
I read comments that trade Jokic, so trade him, Nuggets fans and management, and he will win 4 rings. You don't RESPECT Jokic in Denver, plus you brought in a rookie coach. You have the best player on the planet and you don't respect him. So trade him and you'll win the championship, never. Come on, Jokic haters, and Adelman admirers. At the same time, I have nothing against Adelman, just let him learn…in another place or without Jokic in Denver and he will be a great coach…haha
"Adelman isn’t experienced enough to lead this team. The Nuggets need a better coach, otherwise this season will end up being disappointing as well."
"Why are Zeke and Spencer playing, and not DaRon Holmes, who I think is the better player?"
What’s scarier is to have Dylan Harper running that floor like boss! Such a young player and Nuggets have none of this in their bench 😢
"Only a spoiled brat like Adelman would play with a championship-level player… this coach has no clue about life… because of this idiot, Denver won’t even make it to the Western Conference Finals."
Adelman is a child who received an expensive toy. He is not fit to lead this kind of team.
Coach Adelman is clueless and rigid to the core.
His philosophy is questionable in terms of personnel.
Zeke Nnaji, Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown are not helping the situation at all.
What about Daron Holmes, Jalen Pickett and Curtis Jones to help this Team now?
Decrease the Playing game time for these guys like Spencer Jones, Zeke Nnaji & Bruce Brown & use Jalen Pickett, Curtis Jones, Jonas Valanciunas and Daron Holmes.
Adelman urgently need to be fired until is not too late!!!
Adelman is a little kid learning to drive a Maybach
Bruce b is not that guy from 2023
The Spurs are coming. By next year the Spurs will be competing for championships, year in year out
I think you all are being a little harsh on Adelman. However, SGA, and Giannis are asked to lead differently for their teams, that leads to more team contributions. If Joker wasn't having an all world-like start to the season, what would the Nuggets record be then.
Adelman should be fired immediately, he is not up to it!
This gay sold 5 loss this year.hey , you put Yok to play last 5 min. And teammates don't give him the ball full thirds q. Its unbelievable,you play whit the your best player in the team? In the world? Did Fill Jackson doo same whit M.J.in Bull's or KOBE BRYANT in the Lakers.?remember coach, you have the best player in the world and you have to play over him, that's a sure win for you.And who could have made the decision that Yok wouldn't touch the ball for the entire third quarter?
Spurs played with 11 players in rotation, Nugets with 9. Its an adventage. Suns play with 12, Thunder with 12-13.
Pathetic take by most fans as always….how many shots did jokic take? Yeah, and how many layups did he give up? The only starter that was a minus! Let that sink in…. He threw the game, needed 10 days off.
Isn’t carelessness and lack of focus a coaching issue? What’s being said to the players during the game? Does a coach ever tell Jokic what to do in a game, like shoot more than one shot every 3.6 game minutes? Murray thought they played well.🙃
They were as embarrassing as last years team against the Wizards, twice!🙃😡
Denver needs a serious, experienced coach. Not this kid.
