  1. He just signed political support for Serbia's greatest traitor in the country's history – again! for the second time. I'm done with Jokic, it's over. I don't give a $hit what he does and achieves in his career, he's an a$$hole and a traitor (and I was stupid enough to defend, to "understand" him when he "couldn't" play for the national team! he's simply a traitor!) may he enjoy his millionaire lifestyle forever and ever, hope he never comes back to Serbia, might as well take his horses with him and never come back! he obviously thinks he needs more money and more special favors from the country's dictator who's been selling his country out for over a decade now – never enough for Nikola Jokic, apparently, he needs more money, more stuff, more horses, more stables, more basket clubs, more of everything. No guts, no honor, no glory. FU Nikola!

  2. Serbian, Russian and Albanian mafia are messing with his family in Serbia, guaranteed. One of those goons just watched the Godfather and thought "that's sick". Jokic has horses AND money, if he wants to stay in Serbia he needs to invest in his own militia. Aint that messed up?

  3. Few days ago Jokic and his brothers supported Serbian president for upcoming elections. After that he had 2 worst shooting games in his career. I dont know why he did it, but i know that is not in compliance with everything he represented until now. Many people in Serbia are in disbelief because of his recent act, including me….

  4. Bench Jokic. I think all the praise and success is getting to his head. Let him be humbled before it's too late.

  5. i can tell you whats going, his goal for this year is to average 30 a game, so he forces shots in moments where he would otherwise pass. Also many times in the past jokic had not been efficient, but he switched to passing only mode. This year this is not the case, it seems he will sooner understand he is not a 30pg guy and will start being the old jokic

  6. How can you blame Reggie and PWat???? Especially Pwat, dude has played phenomenal defense and is finding his way on offense

  7. I tell you what is Jokić's criptonite, and that was huge problem in Serbian national team, I guess it was reason why he wasn't considered for captain untill now, and probably will not be also in this Olympics, and that is, when referees don't give him that obviouse fauls on him, he get nervouse and he simply lose it. Literrary referees get under his skin, that is why he start to make bad decissions, start to have bad estimations, start missing. He literary break down in that moments. I thought he overgrow it finnally, at least from last year finnals he didn't look like he is subsceptible to that any more… But then he had a game with 6 fauls, then game with 2 technicals, than this two last game when he didn't through himself from game, but he played bad — all that games have 1 common denominator: Joke very early got pissed by refering in the game. There is no player in NBA that could get under Jokes skin, but on the other side, every referee can destroy him very easy with 2-3 decission…
    I guess that Jokić flaw comes from fact he didn't play a lot in Europe. In Euroleague and our domestic league, refering was and currently is scandalose, almost after every game, instead of talking how teams played, we are talking about this or that referee decissions… Other European players, when they come to NBA, have a feeling that they are in refering heaven after Euroleague, but Jokić didn't felt that hell to firm his self against refering challenges.
    P. S. And there you can see, because I also started to watch Denver and thinking: my favourite player is AG, or favourite new one RJ (becasue you get use to it Jokić give his standard tripple or almost tripple double), but in the end, Joke is that guy that is the heart and brain of Denver, and when he is not working correctly, when he breaks down, everything breaks down for whole team… But that last quarter run gives hope that he can find it in himself t ocome back fro mthat bad psychology, but again, they lost it again playing against referees instead opponents, with consequitive technicals. And the real tragedy is that refering this game was not so bad, yes, there was few questionable decissions and oversights, but every game has it, as if both Jokić and Denver as a team brought in the game this burning dissatisfaction toward referees from previouse game, when it was bad, and jumped into the war (especially Jokić, and then transferes that dissatisfcation t oother polayers) with referees right from the start of1st quarter… And war against referees always ends in defeat, there is not even slightly prospect there to win that fight…

  8. Denver not winning again guys. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Jokic had a great run though: 2 MVPs, Finals MVP, championship, greatest passing big man, first player to lead the league in scoring, assists, and rebounds in the playoffs, and can be the 4th all time leader in triple doubles. Definitely top 10 center of all time.

  9. Who gives a fuck? He won a chip for one of the worst franchises in USA sports. He's allowed to have several crappy games. Others were awful too. It's not like Nuggets got stronger after winning championship, bench is crap, Jamal is always hurt. Jokic is, bad and stupid politics aside, just in funk right now.

  10. can smbdy explain to me the jump ball call on Jokic??? I mean explain it to me in a way that convince me it's not league wide conspiracy…
