Little late to that party

Of course. Sometimes the obvious needs to be stated! All debate should be over.

Oh I was just trolling. Jokic is on a different level than Giannis at this point.

Yeah, I knew you were no worries. I was just kind of expanding on my original thoughts with your Giannis prompt lol.

How often has this happened?  Seems like two triple doubles in the same game from the same team would be kind of rare.

LeBron and KAT have probably been the best defenders on Jokic just as we all expected lol. Gobert had some success against him but the elite big defenders for the most part have been food for him. 

Miami needs to make adjustments in how they defend the Murray/Jokic pick and roll. Going zone is fine and something they will continue to utilize but I'd switch their pick and roll with Bam/Butler. Bring the help over and make the Nuggets shooters beat them. Braun was active with slashing to the rim but they can adjust a bit on that. 

Martin needs to get more time and have one of those 20+ point games that he had against Boston. 

Game 4 should be competitive and come down to the wire. Will be the probably the best game of the series.
