That one dude is ridiculous. Teams really haven't stopped Jokic. The Nuggets score on good defenses in the playoffs. Nobody has really "stopped" Jokic, and the conversation went the wrong direction. Jokic will score and lead good offense in the playoffs. Their results will hinge on how well they play defense in the playoffs.
They've been playing much better on that end lately and it may still improve as Murray gets more and more post-injury explosiveness back.
One major consequence of MPJ's injury has been that it's subbed sinned stunted his development, especially on the defensive end. He missed another season of learning to be a positive defender. And a long, defender who can play help defense and improve rim protection would be huge for this team.
Pelicans didn't play in the playoffs yet, so you can't include pels.
The Nuggets are targeting Tyble from what I heard.
By the way when the Nuggets played the WCF they were unexperienced, last two years they didn't have full roster.
You are wrong about Jokic defense, you have to understand that the Joker is not contesting because the coaching staff told him not to contest, he needs to save fouls. If he commit 2 fouls in the first he's out, if he make 3 in the second he's our and look at the numbers off and on, Jokic is too important for the Nuggets so he's not contesting at all when it comes to that, they have to play better defense and not to allow the players to blow by over them.
Minnesota was second night of the b2b, especially because they had to travel in the 5 in the morning so obviously they was tired, don't take that as your measuring stick! If you do, you are wrong because you are not considering everything. In the beginning of the season they was bad defensive team because two players was returning from the injury, Jamal and MPJ so they was slower and ofc the teams was using that against them but now they are better (Jamal and MPJ) and faster and clearly it shows. They are top 5 defensive team in last 10 games, Nuggets are now n1 offensive team in the league, tied up with the Boston. Obviously you are going to have nights when they can't win and the other team is finding shoots, c'moon I remember the Bulls with MJ was losing the games in the regular season, you can't compare regular season with the playoffs. It's enough to win enough games and you can lose some as long as you are in the track! C'moon don't allow yourself to see random dude on internet to teach you how to analyze teams and their games, you have to understand what's going on, you can't compare one game without complete context.
