The fact that Jokic is dropping these numbers on a bad wrist is mind boggling (alien.top)

For context, I don’t think most people in here know that jokic has a bad wrist right now that he’s been icing early this season. Hence, his uncanny missed free throws and three pointers. He had wrist issues last season too and seems to be back again. Still crazy that his numbers could be even better if he was fully fit

we were in our fifth game in 7 days, jokic was tired, just trying to coast by taking threes and not banging down low

I think the truth is the refs were allowing Looney to play very physical. Put another way, the refs let them play through what could be called a foul.

Since it was tough for Jokic down low due to this, he was trying to create a situation where he pulled his defender out. It didn't work the best, but it makes sense while watching how Jokic was getting hit and grabbed in the post
