Theory going around that this is a way to get a load management day against bad teams.
First Giannis, now Jokic. It makes sense from their perspective. And Jokic wasn’t exactly holding back when he got his second T.
This doesn't make sense to me. If they wanted to load manage with Murray out, it would make much more sense to do it against a good team, because they very easily could have lost this game that should have been a free win.
Also, he waited until the 2nd quarter, and he was clearly hacked on that play.
