NBA Gametime reacts to Nikola Jokic has triple-double to lead Nuggets beat Cavaliers 130-101

Is presented by Google pixel and we keep rolling along here Cleveland Cavaliers Denver Nuggets the first part of our double header that is Orlando Magic Hall of Famer Dennis Scott I’m your host Chris Miles in 3D we had a good game had a good half in the first half between

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Denver Nuggets but oh man Denver just steamrolled from there there’s Nicole yic all about that business you know Denver had lost two consecutive games at home coming into this one kcp had a season High 22 Evan Moy on the other end started this game seven for seven from

The field oh made his presence felt Denver up by one Cleveland up by one and Caris LeVert on a fast break extending that lead he had 13 points to three and 3D that’s where you see Denver going to take over mode it’s just unbelievable that if you

Let the Joker stay in Comfort mode don’t get the ball out of his hands this a great touch pass right there for a three for braon in the corner nuggets in the first half on a 20 to7 run then they start the second half on a 10-2 run

And you see that score escalating quickly the ball movement Aaron Gordon from outside and hold on AG we know what you could do you should have had that 50 in the slam dunk contest to win you one here he is in the game showing us he should have got one

Of those but saw as soon as the Joker got the ball The Joker was already thinking live before thinking of shooting it Nicole yic 18 rebounds 26 points 16 assists oh no he didn’t absolute around his back in traffic can we clip that upstairs again

I I I it didn’t seem like that we were watching that he we’re going to see more is back inic in a second but first let’s hear from cavius it’s called well kcp passing is it the shooting no I just want to make my teammates feel like

Every time they touch the ball they can be open nice little floater there because the defense is thinking about it but don’t assume my teammates going to make the play and just tip it in these triple these triple doubl numbers right here Chris are are crazy Luca has the

Ball in his hands he’s the point guard if you will meaning and then you got two point Cent these are Point centers and they play better when the ball’s in their hand d Fox understands when sabon has the ball I can move and cut and still get my shot every player that’s

Ever played with the joker now understands when the ball’s in his hands either set a screen for someone or cut to the basket he’s going to make a good decision yeah nugget shot 57% from the field 63% from long range they hit 21 threes and the crazy part about that we

Showed you ni colic hitting one he only took two three-pointers so really he was playing a setup man making sure everyone else got involved he had 16 of their 36 team assists thank you for bringing that in there because when you’re watching these highlights of those 213s made I

Think 11 of them were uncontested like that corner three Eric Gordon just made so we know the percentage stay high when you’re uncontested versus when the hands in your face as they like to say so that’s why when a joker has the ball so much fun because they create to

Organized chaos because if you don’t communicate the right way wide open shots Darius Garland Donan Mitchell combined for 18 points Donovan Mitchell 3 for 12 from the field again we know what his ceiling is now we’re looking back to the all-star break to now one

Game in which he scored 20 or more cause for concern very much concern I I I love Donovan love Spider-Man the death love his spider senses but he has seven games now right correct me if I’m wrong to get that Rhythm the continuity the chemistry that you need with your teammates to get

Back to playing lights out basketball Allstar typee basketball before he got hurt yeah in January this was the hottest team in the NBA December and January All-Star break comes they haven’t been the same since what’s the remedy to fix what’s happened with the Caps we say for so many teams for our

Viewers health is wealth and it’s hard to miss a role player then plug him back into the play but when this your star player that needs to set the table he has to be 100% especially if c fan want to think you’re going to go deep into

The East we all agree that the Celtics they setting up they’re pretty the Bucks are starting to make their way shoot uh Jaylen Brunson had the 61 the other night to give Nicks fans excitement Donovan mitel has to be the best version he can be for these last seven games

Going into the playoffs all right the second game we have on Center Court tonight the Golden State Warriors versus wimy watch Victor wiim minyama and the San Antonio Spurs Warriors have won three consecutive games Spurs have wonn uh three consecutive games so let’s start with the Spurs right because the

Warriors have had es and flows this season for the Spurs they have 18 total wins on total win right so Victor wiim minyama has been incredible for the most part the season why is it leading to wins now though just the total team is

Not ready yet I mean as much as we love whimy and he’s great and he’s you know checking all the boxes of being a future great star in our league but the end at the end of the day he needs some help right now deels had some moments you

Know different guys have stepped up Jones has plays well but at the end of the day the western conference is so steep it’s hard for one guy to come in and change the whole complexion of where you trying to go in the Western Conference but to your point Chris we

Haven’t seen a team with only 18 wins as must SE TV late in the season so I take my hat off to pop who changed his color with normally would arrest someone like this and pop it’s like no wmy wants to play so I’m gonna let him play yeah

Coming off of that 40 Point 20 rebound game against the New York kns uh Victor wiama always someone you want to check in whether it’s League pass or right here on NBA TV going to tip off uh at 7:00 tonight I mean just look at the

Kind of plays that he makes right the numbers are there but they don’t tell a full story rookie Le me NBA and blocks so for the people who have been following whimy online because the way the internet get you a chance to follow kids overseas big shout out to trainer

Tim Martin who I’ve been on for a few years that’s why I’m not as surprised on what I’m seeing cuz you go back and watch the video two or three years ago he’s working on handling drills he’s doing all the stuff we’re seeing now so

Now when he does in the game how many times we seen a s foot guy go around his back throw the ball off the backboard go around his back throw the ball to the corner then Al you catch it and lean into the rim because it’s Nerf hoop but

That’s something he’s been doing Chris so it doesn’t look awkward why he’s doing it so that’s why I like it’s must C TV it’s late in the season with only 18 wins you say seven footer I say seven and a half excuse me thank for correcting is a big difference it’s hard

To explain to people when you see him you go no there’s a seven-footer he makes a seven-footer look like they’re 66 compared to a seven-footer Chris hey wimy that that’s how the interview is you do a walk-off interview with him you’re doing this right and and understanding that wow this guy’s

Legitly just look at this walking in that come on man but he understands it I don’t know he is but somebody’s dressing him nice boy that’s a lot of material that’s a lot of material got the MJ walk on see if he can get a jacket like this

See if he can get the Jack L for Easter so flipping to the Golden State Warriors right looking at let’s start with Andrew Wiggins because 20 points in back-to-back games he is someone that when they won a championship it was like did you see Andrew Wiggins guard Jason

Tatum did you see how well he played he really filled into that Andre Iguodala role as someone that’s helping them to win a championship is he getting back to that from what you’ve seen over the last 11 games or so flashes but we know the talent’s there he’s always had that some

What aloof personality if you will but the talent is non deniable to your question I hope he can get back to that basketball he was playing when they won their last championship cuz if they do and you’re a Warriors fan you’re a little more like okay because kaminga is

Playing better Steph’s going to be Steph Clay’s a little banged up and draymond’s going to be Draymond but if Wiggins is playing lights out basketball along with Trace Jackson young Fells playing solid down low I know Looney’s not been in the mix that much well here’s the deal Klay Thompson

Questionable um but looks like he is available Jonathan kaminga will miss his third straight game and here’s someone that had a great streak of 20 or more points in a row has really been coming of age that seems to be a cause for concern if you’re the Golden State

Warriors and try to get him back on the floor for the playoff push yeah fist Patell to the NS the way he jumps the other night that followup dunk on the Baseline there certain plays that just kind of stick in your head when you watch watch highlights here with us but

If he’s not once again seven eight games left you want that live body as healthy as possible because he’s been playing really good basketball since the All-Star break you know when you’re watching a a football game and someone gets an interception and the guy’s trailing him or wide receivers going

You’re like is he going to catch him or not that feels like the Houston Rockets right now in the standings with the Golden State Warriors they won 11 in a row props to the Rockets Oka and Company with the best record in the NBA in March

And here you are this is a critical game like the last three games have been critical for the Golden State Warriors it just feels like okay we’re going to have a play in this is what you hope for at 10 11 they have the easiest record of

The of the remaining five right think the Rockers have the easiest record of like the the Kings Lakers and Warriors well here’s the Warriors remaining schedule it’s not them because they got the Pelicans they got the Mavericks twice they got a face wimy uh this is

Not an easy schedule and then the head ah head with the Houston Rockets you just the Spurs may have the worst record of everybody up there but the Warriors there’s no night off think about it the Mavericks you the way Luke and Kyrie playing they’re bigs with the way they

Catch the Liv come on the Rockets knock on your back door so think zman has been rolling since VI For Forign Foree fore Foree spe spee spee Fore speech Foree speech speech foreign spee Fore for good nowe Oh for
