“Nikola Jokic is guy with GREATEST IQ we have ever seen in NBA” – ESPN reacts to Nuggets beat Knicks



“Nikola Jokic is guy with GREATEST IQ we have ever seen in NBA” – ESPN reacts to Nuggets beat Knicks

Porter that’s for you 31 points uh for you tonight 193 three-pointers for you this season a new franchise record let’s just start right there what does that mean to you I mean uh that’s a testament to my teammates you know I’m playing with great players it results in a lot

Of open looks and I just got to knock him down so that’s all in particular after the All-Star break you’ve just been on fire what do you attribute to that uh being locked in is a season comes to a close and trying to be lock in for playoffs 13- two is what this

Team is now after after the All-Star break uh what’s been going so well for the nuggets in this period of time I just think we all collectively realize um you’re not going to be able to turn it on in the playoffs so uh we’re trying to get our Rhythm and get our flow

Before then this is a physical team and a physical game what did it take to get the victory over over this New York knck Squad here tonight yeah you know we felt like we owed them from last last game in New York so came here uh with an

Aggressive mentality and it worked out another triple double for for Nicole yic U it never gets old does it no no it doesn’t get old all right the Nuggets get the victory thank you Michael Porter Jr continue to make History Michael Porter Jr in the Nuggets history book the single season

Franchise leader for threes and the guy who he beat Dale Ellis wow Dale that’s going way back 1996 born I can’t remember 9697 that dude was a rifle from the outside and it took this long for somebody to beat his single season Mark the big three were

The story of this game well it really was I mean ktie 84 points 58 from the floor 50% from the three-point line bench was off tonight but the big three what a load They Carried 84 of 113 total points like when you think about the load that They Carried tonight and how

They produced we don’t have enough time in our postgame show to show all the highlights because there were that many from Michael Porter Jr from Nicole yic from Jamal Murray hopefully that ankle injury isn’t anything serious for Murray as he back to the locker room early but

When you think about what you want the Nuggets big three to look like it’s what you saw tonight against the New York and they They Carried the load and I guess that’s the Nuggets version of load management because they managed to overcome a very feisty New York nicker

Bacher team tonight Nuggets win again 13- two since the break we good night to be a Denver Nugget they are pass happy even when they pass it to themselves nuggets over the Knicks and it took a little work to get there but they win the game going away

Double digit victory at home 113 100 The Beat Goes On ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Toyota locker room report Vick Lombardi Bill hanslick and Katie wiie with you tonight all those New Yorkers in town um they kept chanting MVP when Jaylen Brunson got to the foul

Line but I I think they got a good picted at the real MVP tonight yeah jaylen’s probably what fourth or fifth on the list maybe he’s a great player mind you yeah he really is but you know what quickly with that kcp another great job defensively did you did you fix your

New York accent yeah c can you try again your best New York that was better at least you attempted It Goodbye New York tell you who shot down New York tonight Michael Porter Jr what a performance from The Marksman it is our ball future of the game most three-point field goals

In a season he owns the record for the Denver Nuggets franchise surpassing Dale Ellis he got it in the fourth quarter 193 in counting and I think we all anticipated this happening it was only a matter of time he’s that good and he’s getting better guys since the break

Every game goes by he gets better tonight the efficiency 13 of 16 are you kidding me 10 for 10 on twos three for six threes that’s just incredible and again we talked about a pregame show the ability to hit sort of the dagger three and he had one late in the game Katie

That was just huge first game in Michael Porter Jr’s career with 30 points on 80% shooting or better the efficiency is what stands out absolutely but the last three games for Michael Porter Jr you guys we need to figure out how to allow him to own part of the sun because he

Said what what’s changed for him was getting Sun during the All-Star break I just need a little sunshine in my life so a tanning how do we get him a piece of the sun to just hold on to for safety what if be fake baked would that work I

Don’t know if it’s the same I mean spray tan maybe oh not not spray T qualify not the same no you know Vic he put the burn on the Knicks you know what his plus minus was what plus 25 pretty good they did not want to see him on the court uh

Things got a little tenuous there when nicoa yic left the game in the fourth quarter that’s when the made their 12-2 run Nia re-enters the game order restored he almost had a triple double by halftime game almost at halftime he finishes with 304 and 11 his 22nd TD of the Season his

45th triple double before the third quarter Dan Hyatt sent me that took jokic’s triple doubles before the third quarter he’d be 12th all time wow 12th all time that’s how quickly Nicole yic goes to work I love the way he was reading the defense against the New York

Knicks and taking whatever the game gave him he started off kind of as a facilitator and then when the Knicks adjusted joic recognized it was his time to shine don’t ever say Nicole is not fast look at how fast he hits those TDS this was his what sixth fastest all time

He did it in 27 minutes 46 seconds he was one rebound shy at halftime of making that less than 24 minutes can he play the whole first half I was dizzy watching Nicole yic pass the ball tonight he is our Red Canary assist man of the game have no doubt Red Canary got

You and he got all kinds of targets from Little bounce passes to lead the way to Aaron Gordon to back door passes a little bit of everything in the NOA library tonight he just he is spect we ktie and I the Nuggets had about four or five wild plays there’s one that’s a

Wild play just over the shoulder oh that one was another one there’s another one for a three that just like curveball hook pass the no look passes you cannot convince me that Nicole yic truly doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head what he can see and where he can

Feel the defense and know that some area on the court is going to be open and available and he’s going to have a teammate there it is so fun to watch you gasp watching it because you can’t believe that those are the types of plays he makes every single night you

Know speaking of gasby I was with uh coach tibs at Gold Crown field out today and all he wanted to talk about was Nicole yic and what a great player is he it’s slows down to just where he wants to play it and he sees everything just

Like you said that’s exactly what he said I think he’s got one of those rear camera things in the back of his head like your car you know when you’re backing out of the driveway I still banged in in my trash can the other day even with the camera didn’t work for me

You’re no Nicole take a look at our Fanatics Wagers for the night the Nuggets K in is favor I was so close I was one point off one point but Junior if you have wi with Junior to 1,00 that’s a big bet and Junior’s been heating up again he’s gotten better and

Better every game since the break I don’t know what his ceiling is at this point he’s getting more and more confident when we come back coach Malone video fore fore spee for ch m spe spee for know for spee in for

  1. This kind of play by MPJ deserves praise. I was the biggest critic of MPJ, I criticized his attitude towards the team, his despondency, his behavior, his retired walks and his performance in the playoffs last season. Now MPJ plays much better and takes the pressure off Jokic. MPJ after the game against GSW – he felt that he would be kicked out – or sent back to the bench – MPJ realized that he had spent his credit with the fans and the Denver Nuggets and that if he didn't change he would go to the bench or be replaced – he started running and fighting
