You shouldn’t lose a game when a guy puts up that kind of statline

Just came to say

JESUS

[–] Leiatte@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bah Gawd! That’s a crazy statline

[–] Major_Wager75@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's crazy how badly this team needs Jamal when AG or MPJ are perfectly capable of taking more shots. Even KCP can go off and drop 30+ every once in a while. It's sad nobody stepped up

Depth is a real issue for the nuggets, they need one more guy for them to repeat.

[–] BlackWhiteCoke@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So are the Pelicans the leader of their group which has Denver, Dallas, Clips and Houston?

A rare game where Jokic fumbled the bag in crunch time. I was watching the Pels feed and the announcers were also surprised. You could tell they were just waiting for the Pels to blow the game and Jokic to take over.

Im starting to think that MPJ is not an average but sub-average player.

On 125 touches

It took Jokic 100 passes to get 18 assists

It’s all volume stats

[–] ShowdownValue@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d like to see time of possession on these passes

[–] rfgrunt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

One loss where the opposing team was amazing from 3, missing their second best player, come back from 20 down and had multiple looks to extend and now the sky is falling for some nuggets fans.

My only concern is the load Jokic is having to carry and the eventual impact it’ll Have. Yesterday was the first time I saw him with the back brace.

Wild to put up a stat line like that that has never been done before and still lose.

[–] Temple_Jones@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If this man gets snubbed again of an MVP at the end of they year with these numbers grab all those ugly new trophies they make and throw them in the dumpster

[–] QBert999@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His numbers are fantastic and all but I'm finding it odd how much he's dominating the basketball ref mvp thing.

Is his 29.7/14.1/9.2/64.9% TS really that much better than Luka's 30.7/7.9/8.1/64.0% TS? I'd argue 64% as a PG is more impressive than 65% as a C.

and it's not team records. Both the Nuggets and the Mavs are 9-3. but basketball ref's mvp thing has Jokic at #1 with 78% odds and Luka at #5 with 2% odds.

It's not so much that Jokic is ahead that weirds me out, I can see that, but for it be by such a wide margin doesn't make sense.
