Jokic
34 points, 21 rwbounds, 14 assists. Those are absurd numbers. The NBA has so much talent right now.

Even with the current press, I think The Joker is still well underrated because he's a Euro player.

That's a big boy triple double. :eek: He's ridiculously good, and a fun player to watch to. I think the only reason he didn't win the MVP Award this year was due to voter fatigue....similar to Mike Trout and Michael Jordan not having more MVP Awards then they do. |

agree he is a special player and whenever he finally wins his first Championship he will be elevated and spoken of more.
Same thing happened with the Greek Freak |
And his defense is spectacular! Yes please note the sarcasm.
|
He had 12 *reaking* rebounds in the FIRST QUARTER!!!

Joel Embiid fan in the house I presume. :D Also a pretty great player. The league is better for it when he's able to stay healthy. |
Yes an Embiid fan. The MVP race was close for the past few years between the two but Embiid should have won it last year. Their offensive stats are very close but defensively there is no comparison.

Jokic came up just a hair short from averaging a triple-double this season, finishing at 9.8 assists/game. I expect similar output in the playoffs. In the first series against the Suns he averaged 30-10-10. Rather impressive.
|
Another triple double for the man.

4 more wins gives him the Championship THat have been a really good team for the last several years and they finally made it to the Big Show |
His 9.8 assists per game is the most ever for a regular starting Center in the NBA. Ever, as in all-time ever for any Center that has ever played in the NBA, including Wilt. And the triple doubles, oh, my! We are truly seeing something very special. I hope all fans, even the Embiid fans, can acknowledge and respect these facts as utterly otherworldly.
Starting a team today. I will take Jokic over Embiid, no question, slam dunk. |
Nuggests 1-0, Jokic another triple double.
|
27 points on 12 shots. Remarkable.
I don't know if there's an answer. Maybe take away his passing lanes and make him be a scorer. If the other guys are taken out of the flow it could affect 4th quarter rhythm, although this one was pretty much well over by then. I note that in the only game against the Suns where Jokic didn't register a triple double he ended up scoring 53 points---and lost. Perhaps making him score more could increase his fatigue and/or make him more prone to fouls. Just spitballin' here--I'm sure opponents have considered everything. |
He is proving to be the best or one of the best Ball Players on the earth.
He also helps elevates the play of others. With a championship it would really move him to the next level. Where would you put him on the list of best players? |
Denver takes game 3. 32 pts, 21 rebounds, 10 assists for Jokic.

Triple Doubles from two players on the same team. Haven't read any recaps yet, but I wonder if that's the first time that's happened in Finals play? It can't be very common even in the regular season. |
Quote:
However 2 players on same team that had 30 point triple doubles has never happened in the regular season or post season until now. It was an amazing performance |
I get the feeling with Jokic that he could score 45 points every game easily if he wanted to. Goes long stretches without shooting the ball, gets a ton of assists, and then all of a sudden you look up and he has 30 points. Unreal.

Jokic had a quite night by his standards last night 23 points 12 boards , 4 assists , 3 steals and 3 blocks but he did not need to do more his 2 teammates Gordon 27 points on 11 of 15 shooting and brown 21 points on 8 of 11 shooting made it look easy.
1 more game and Jokic has his championship and it really showed how he can step it up on the big stage when it counts while others like Harden, Embid, etc come up small in the playoffs |

Does Denver take home the title tonight? Or does Miami win and extend the series?

And Denver is really looking good |
Came was close but Miami had great defense but was cold shooting
Jokic was the MVP and deserved it and he shined on the biggest stage. Butter came up small had the points but missed to many shots Denver deserved to win top team all year and proved it in the playoffs |
It's been a good week so far for Serbia.
