    The worst part of Jokic's game is his will (lack of) to challenge guards on the cuts and layups. Even not being a good shot blocker (which is expected with his lack of verticality) doesn't mean he shouldn't try to challenge shots. That's the only thing I hate about his game, he sometimes doesn't even bother to try to challenge. Other than that he is a full package. His defensive awareness, quick hands and strength make up for lack of verticality, but he must challenge shots more. On the offensive side, there is no need to even comment, he is a genius, one of a kind.

    Saying his percentages have fallen off a cliff only applies if you are comparing him to himself, because even with these numbers they are Elite.
    Saying that this is why the Nuggets record isnt better is simply irresponsible and ignorant to say.
    Murray has been shitty over all since he got the bag ( a bag he didnt deserve by the way) with the exception of the last 2 games. Not to mention that both Gordon and Murray were out in the early part of this season. MPJ has been good but some of his shot decisions are ridiculous. Braun, is decent but is still developing. Thats why they are not better. If it weren't for Jokic, they would be much much worse, and I think you know that.

    The Nuggets are fine, the only way you beat Denver is if you attack Joker and there are no centers who can do that. His offensive efficiency is his defense.
    With that said, for the team to have an easier run to the finals, Joker has to do less. He is not playing with a bunch of tin cans, those are professionals, and they played basketball very well to get to the NBA.
    One can blame Murray all day long but when you do not consider that you are asking Murray to adapt his play to Jokers', how would you think it would work out vice versa and how long will it take to implement a Murray led offense?
    It is the same thing that happens to every out of world performing player
    How would a guy like KD fit on a team with Joker? Would you ask KD to adapt his game to Jokers'? MPJ has been suffering through it for a long time
    The reason the offense drops off a cliff and so many good players leave is because there are no offensive packages for them.

This might be the worst "coach" I've known so far in YT because of how bias he can be. I'm pretty sure he'll say he's only covering those people or teams that benefits him with more views but come to think of it, if he really want views, Giannis alone can bring them up.
    Visit his profile and you'll see a FEW videos about Bucks or Giannis, and majority of those are pointing out how BAD they are, or Giannis being "dirty" all the time as he scares other players.

    They are definitely allowing more contact on Jokic then others. Sabonis gets the same treatment in some games. Just check how many less free throws jokic gets comparing to embiid and davis and he has way more presence inside the paint than those two. They shoot around two times more free throws per game on average just looking at this season. I know this has been the case in previous years too. Sabonis gets treated like this sometimes too. Defenders put their hands on jokic and push him more since he plays more with his back turned to the basket. Embiid and Davis face up and swipe through those hands and often flop to get to the line.if his inside shooting is down, its because of fauls he does not get in most cases

    It's videos like these are the reason why this channel has been struggling the last 4 years while channels like Hoop Venue, Thinking Basketball, Half Court Hoops etc. are thriving.
    Jokic is literally having the best season any player has ever had in the NBA and coach Nick will still not give him his flowers. It's happened in every Jokic MVP season, it happened in 2023 in playoffs when the Lakers 'figured out Jokic' and its happening again. Criticizing the player with the nighest NET rating in NBA history while turning a blind eye to Murray on a max contract.
    The obvious hate of some players has earned yourself an unsub!

    Jokic with Russ-- cant control the game as usual with his slow methodical half court offense because Russ has more and more ball in his hands and Malone is delusional to doing that

    And minus 6% isn't falling off a cliff. Yes is not as good as before but not even close to bad. Also they have less pacing and he is taking more of those shots so ofc it's going to go down somewhat plus that gap will close as the season goes on

    Hey coach. I think any starting unit involving Jokic is fine but he might be having the scottie pippen/chris bosh effect on Jamal Murray. (You know where a player is so great (Lebron/Jordan) it has a negative effect on another players game. ) or Maybe Jamal is entering his Blake Griffin period.
    The Nuggets need to fix their bench and maybe try small ball with Aaron Gordan at center? A smaller trade like zeke nanji, daron holmes II, and Hunter Tyson for Josh Green and Moussa Diabate/pick swaps? might get them to a more competitive level but honestly I don't think they are good enough to win the championship. Maybe they can find some body anyone from the G league or off the streets for bench production?
    I am having fun watching Westbrook and Jokic. In defense of Westbrook he's not Ben Simmons, he's actually very disciplined this year. He will take the shot late in the clock or to keep the defense honest but he's not forcing things from 3. In the end he's just a bench player the coach can pull whenever his impact slips into the negative zone.
    What's your favorite bad NBA team? (Mine = the hornets) and also what teams can fix their issues internally instead of externally by hitting the trade market?

      Jokic is hands down the best player in the world & hands down the most VALUABLE for his team. He's #2 PPG, #2 AST, #3 RBS, #1 3 PT%, #1 TD, #1 EFF, # 1 on/off court rating. He would easily be #1 PPG too if he wanted. Giannis has 5 more FTA per game than Jokic. Nuggets #5 in the strong West, Bucks #5 weaker East
      Jokic is putting up all his crazy numbers in a much stronger conference and how many games does Giannis only take 5 FGA in a half, or 7-10 in three quarters and some of those are offensive rebounds for Jokic. Giannis trying to score as many points as possible every game, Jokic has many games where he opts to pass first and get his team mates involved and shoot second. Jokic would easily be #1 for PPG if he wanted to be even with way less FTA than Giannis
