RandyMossIsBoss Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Jokic did not even play particularly well. A good game no doubt, but some of those eye popping stats can be attributed to the fact that he played 46 minutes in a high pace game. That's all to say, I don't think we've seen Jokic at his MVP level since game 2, and if Nuggets want to win the series they'll need MVP Jokic to show up. Cannot expect Rivers, Morris and Howard to shoot 11/21 from 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Nurkic has fouled out twice in 2 of the 3 losses for the Blazers. He has to treat those 6 fouls like they're gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 5th foul on the screen was questionable, sure, but then he unwisely contested Gordon shortly after to put himself in what is pretty much a 50/50 situation for refs it would seem unless you're getting all ball. Nuggets should honestly try to priortize attacking Nurk and getting him in foul trouble, riling him up, since he's the key to slowing Jokic. Not gonna stop Jokic when he's on but he clearly just tires him out more on both ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give up 2 there was like 4-5 minutes left maybe or a little more and it was maybe a two point game at that time. Just dumb he has to be smarter then that.

Best wing they've given him is RoCo?? I like Robert, but c'mon. They haven't really drafted anything. Who have they drafted since Dame/CJ in 12/13?

A lot of people were saying they had an A+ off-season, they've added Covington, Carmelo, Powell, etc. it's just hard as a small market team to build a contender.
