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.

Would’ve thought Luka had more, probably has heaps of 9 assist/rebound games

[–] aWildFrostyCupcake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kyrie takes the load off so he doesn't have to hardy carry as much. Lots of 7 and 8 rebound assist games

Sombor Doubles for the above players: Jokic: 4 Embiid: 2 Sabonis: 2 Luka: 1

Embiids passing has been a very nice improvement in his game this season.

[–] shanduin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fully agree, I guess it hasn't been necessary for him to develop his passing while playing alongside Ben Simmons (people may forget he was an incredible playmaker before his downfall) and James Harden (who literally led the league in assists last year).

[–] BannedofGypsys@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People forget he had to become a playmaker in 21-22 season when Ben sat out before Harden at the deadline. I think he had a couple triple doubles and assists jumped a bit with Maxey still being so raw.

If jokic were truly a stat padder and tried to turn those sombor doubles to TDs he would become the league leader before he retired. But he's not a stat padder, just a wins padder unfortunately

[–] LotharBot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

he's only 88 TDs behind the all-time leader (Westbrook) right now, which is about 3 seasons worth at his current pace. He'll probably become the all-time leader well before he retires.

He's 14 playoff TDs behind Magic for #1, which ... last season he had 10, but I don't think we can count on that pace. Still, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jokic also takes the all-time lead on that stat in about 3 years. (LeBron is only 2 behind Magic and could plausibly take the lead this postseason, but I don't expect him to put together so many that Jokic would have a hard time catching him.)

Jokic gets 10+ rebounds literally every game so Sombor Double is just him getting 9 assists lol

I feel like it will still take a couple of years for the NBA to realise just how great Joker and the Nuggets are.

Need Vučević and Nurkić to step up to achieve full Yugo domination

Seeing the gentle giant is always a highlight. He can appear on screen for a brief moment, smiling happily on the bench, and it's always my favourite part of the game.

[–] Peja1611@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

BOBAAAN! Two lines! Will always be a delight

[–] ValueDiarrhea@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He tried to kill John Wick though.

[–] mrwhite2323@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] stripes1604@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He also had 20/17/8 against the bulls recentlyish

[–] Reddits_For_NBA@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is actually shocking to me, would have thought there were significantly more.

[–] yuhanz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Im surprised Sengun still doesnt have one

[–] bikehellion@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kid is on a great trajectory. I can see him becoming even better in near future, and he is for sure going to rack them up.

[–] sorendiz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Couple of Sombor Doubles in there, I'm sure he'll have at least 2-3 by the end of the season especially since our SOS has been ridiculous so far

Hopefully in January when we finally play some easier teams he can pick up a couple

[–] ParticularBuddo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can we please stop giving a shit about triple doubles?

[–] shanduin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm curious why you'd say this. A triple double is truly remarkable. Historically it's only been the very best of the best to be able to achieve the feat, and even in recent memory those that achieve triple doubles are almost always doing so during an incredible performance.

Are you so spoiled by the ridiculous talent level of the league right now that you think achieving one of the most impressive statlines in basketball is overrated?

[–] LeBremsstrahlung@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Euros - 12

Americans - 3

Are the Americans stupid?

[–] EfficientAstronaut1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
