What a consistently amazing season from Jokic. Genuinely a pleasure to watch him play and what a game from him tonight. 15 assists with no turnovers? Crazy.
Ha. Don’t ever tell me Embiid doesn’t get hate. In a post about entirely about Jokic, the focus is not on what he does well but the top comment is about Embiid. You’re all a bunch of hater losers.😂 Jokic is still a gun, despite his salty ass fans.
EDIT: Go ahead and downvote me, you virgins.
Embiid definitely gets hate on r/nba and it’s probably a bit over the top at times
However the fact that you knew it’s about Embiid without mentioning his name just from the “27 free throws” part is objectively hilarious lol
yeah!! you tell those mean virgins on r/nba 🥺!
He sonned us so bad that first quarter. Rockets defense just collapsed. He made so many good reads so fast.
a ring or two more and he is on the debate for best center ever
He had like 9 assists in the first half lol
Ppl say TD’s arent impressive anymore but currently its mostly just one guy 2X MVP getting them on regular
Historically when someone gets a TD their team has ~75% win percentage. Even when they tried to say Russ was stat padding he was winning cast majority of his games he has a TD.
after watching the basketball god for these last 4 years nothing seems impressive - dude has fucking wrecked my perception of what good ball should look like. watching teams that dont have Jokic is fucking boring.
Bro… Sometimes I think about how empty it’s going to feel when he’s done. We just go back to watching normal ass players playing normal ass basketball
“Thank god this fuckery won’t go on much longer”

I feel like it will still take a couple of years for the NBA to realise just how great Joker and the Nuggets are. It’s a legit dynasty in the making but as they’re not flashy, they’re being looked over.
They are a marketing problem for the league. For 15 years the face of the league was LeBron/Steph/Durant. Now they are getting old and there doesn’t seem to be a marketable replacement yet. Big 2006 vibes…the Lakers sucked and Kobe still had the rape allegation stuff associated to him. Lebron wasn’t quite there yet. Nash, Dirk and Timmy were boring. Enter Dwade.
I feel an urge to remind people that triple doubles are not immediately good basketball if you’re inefficient shooting or turn the ball over a lot.
Fortunately Jokic has neither of those problems, especially not today.
I argue that it should be updated, and it shouldn’t count double-digit points but double-digit baskets.
also would like to add that Triple doubles are not the norm! they don’t happen everyday
well unless the Nuggets play back to back, the chances are they do happen everyday but that is another story
Thank you for keeping us in Check
Does Mark Jackson get a vote to forget about Joker for MVP this season?
He would have more if Murray wasn’t injured
Anyone else remember these posts about Rondo? Back when this sub had like 200k subscribers :')
Rondo was a assist beast. This is another level.
Triple doubles good
Remember last year when Jokic got accused of stat-padding the regular season averaging 24.5/11.8/9.8 and then in the playoffs he averaged 30/13.5/9.5 and everyone realized that he wasn’t stat-padding in the regular season he was actually not even trying lmao Now he’s close to averaging what he did in the playoffs last year and the idea that he might have a level even beyond this isn’t even out of the question
It’s actually just unfair lol
He’s guna just casually put up like 36/15/12 this finals and I look forward to the copium.
Half the ESPN analysts scoffing at him during the MVP discussion so obviously never watched him play for a full game. Lisa Salters was the only one who admitted it, but I bet the most of them had only watched highlight vids at most.
Also - way to sabotage yourself by never showing the best player in the world, and when you do its to try to smear him lol.
Many more to Come
