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

The only man who can stop him is Austin "white Jokic" Reaves

That explains why he’s always 1 assist away from a triple double

Bad wrist Jokic is still pretty good

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

Denver fans have had sore wrists ever since Joker started playing like an MVP.. if ya know what im sayin..

Yeah man, I've been stroking like mad ever since he showed me that efficiency equals winning.

When I get down in the blocks to hoop, they all say "here comes the stroking boy" because I never miss

Jokic is just too good.

Just drop “on a bad wrist”. It’s mindboggling period. We don’t need to create more conditions to make it more crazy. It’s already crazy.

[–] Empty-Vegetable3494@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He isn’t “creating” anything, it’s a fact

[–] RipCity-NBA-LoL@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But he does have a hurt wrist..? He's been questionable due to the wrist injury. It's been a recurring issue. Jokic had it wrapped up in some kind of cast during his rest last game

Did Tatum not play with a fucked up wrist almost the entire season last year. And make 1st Team All NBA???

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

Yeah, but this post is about Jokic doing it this season.

[–] LandLongjumping2268@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why tf does he always have a bad wrist

[–] 3Ssssssssssssssss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

im betting game 20 before this sub completely swings on jokic based on the frequency of these kinds of posts lol
