People don’t foul passers. He doesn’t have that explosive first step to instantly draw a block call. When he’s on the block he’s a back to the basket guy, and not a face up guy. He is face up on the perimeter and not on the block. I get it. That’s the mark of a great facilitator using the post to draw a double that you can pass out of.

for sure and he's great at it. Obviously how the NBA manages Denver games didn't prevent them from a title.....sooooo is the thought process Denver is so much better than everyone else? I'm not sure lol.

Do you honestly think Jokics game warrants going to the line as often as the other guys?

Should we completely change how we ref games because Jokic doesnt draw as many fouls?
Did Jokic’s game suddenly change overnight where in 1 game he shot 4 and then next game he shot 18?

Are you new to basketball? Are you implying that every player shoots the same amount of free throws every game?

Giannis shot 6 against the Spurs and then 19 against Orlando. There are a million factors to why that is.

But there is no anti Jokic agenda. Jesus Christ this dude was being considered for 3 time MVP putting him in ultra elite company and he'd not made a finals.

They aren’t basketball people. This is all very new to them. They’re just front running a good team in that market. Your team is ass (sorry man) and yet you’re here all the time cause you know the sport and love the sport. If Nuggets weren’t an elite team the fly by night Nuggets fan pop ins we get wouldn’t be a thing.

Didn't see the game, but my guess is that Jokic operated more in the paint vs. the Warriors since they don't really have any bigs who could handle him, especially with Draymond out. They tend to foul a lot when teams do that. Same thing happened vs. the Lakers in the playoffs last year. The Lakers bigs spent a lot of time at the free throw line.

I front ran Lebron in Cleveland vs GS but other than that I've earned my stripes lol.

Fortunately DK and parlays keep my interest peaked in the NBA otherwise lol

they have zero depth if anyone is injured

odd timing though given Grayson going for 30 lol.

They needed a point guard or a body to throw in behind or with Nurk

Maybe they can go get the corpse of TJ Warren again

They probably should’ve kept Paul

But hard to say since beal hasn’t played

They also shouldn’t have burned their bridges with crowder since they could use him now too

obviously they see Devin as the point and he's a more than adequate ball handler...as you say how it all fits will be determined with Beal.

I’d rather see more of them play in the g league

Nba needs to step up with their full on own minor league system that doesn’t have college as the stepping stone

Becuase the nba gets to free ride on tax payer dime and these kids wants all the benefits of being a pro with none of the risks when they’re in reality amateurs

He's not allowed to be frustrated at his team underachieving?
He's allowed to be in whatever feels he wants. I'm not allowed to notice he does this literally everywhere he goes? Even unhappy winning rings and FMVPs.
