I'm very encouraged about the development of Strawther and Watson.
Not just unjustified it was inexcusable. Clearly the ref had Jokic under he saw he was rolling and had to end it.
Personally love the bench games to see our guys develop!
I went to an nba game for the first time in 2 years just to see Jokic play. I feel like I’m own a refund. Eastern conference have just one time a season to view their western conference opponents so Idk when my next opportunity to view a game of Jokic in person live will be
rookie D Let's Goooo!
I was the biggest Reggie hater but honestly, mad respect to him 🙏 he's ballin' 💪
The NBA is officially a joke. Anyone that thinks we are gonna get a fair shake this year is nuts.
Jokic most likely said MF-ing or F-ing foul, he did not called the REF a MF
If that ejection happened in Serbia, that ref would get his own chants for the next game when he is in.
Is this the best bet365 bit ever 🤣😂😂
Once is an accident, twice is suspiccious, 3 is now rule and serie. Mallone should step up here and tame Jokić. Jokić is not the guy who should argue with referes, period. You are talking about specific ref, but this looks to me like referee sindicate vengance…There should be another player with task to make objections to referes, and Jokić should simply zip it…
P. S. After all, Jokić should tell Mallone what is the standard tactic when referees are playing blind, simple Željko Obradović recepy: you put in the game player you don't count in that game at all, let say Naji, with task to elbow noses, tackle opponents in the air, trip up players… That player might be ejected fast, but first you show opponent, if they go rough, they will get rougher, and in the end, that player with task will be ejected, and not your key player… And referees would then have pressure to tame game not to go into salloon brawl… Just sudgesting…
P. P. S. And yes, in Serbia jusge who would make this kind of decission, lets say in darby, would have about 5 seconds life left, 20-30 k enraged people would be momentally stampedo to the court to linch him at the spot…
what are we doing? I don't understand, I'd stop playing if I were Jokic, this is not funny anymore, the best player in the league, where being the best gives others advantage with the refs, he gets the worse whistle of all time. Like seriously, it's not even funny anymore. It would be fine, if everybody got inconsistent whistle, but I watch AD, literarily no contact, he falls back on the floor shooting fade away=FTA, Embiid charges into people and pretends to try to shoot=FTA, Embiid falls all the time=FTA…what is this, I can't…LeBRon/Giannis, them two, at least there's contact when they charge to the rim
Adam Silver < David Stern
bruh this ejection compared to draymond's is just embarassing
Dončić tonight CRYING at refs and NOTHING!!!!!!!! SMH
btw vs Atlanta, literally 0 FTA for Jokic until the game was decided. Only then refs decided to cover up and called some shit…I know I'm going deep into conspiracy hole, but how else you can explain this stuff?
He's a traitor, the Serbian fans should have booed him.
I don't know what got into Reggie, but let's hope it doesn't leave him. Dude is killing it.
unpopular opinion but I think Jordan deserves a little more time on the floor every few games
i don't care about dictator Vučić supporter Jokić! Since he signed support letter for awful Aleksandar Vučić he lost many fans in Serbia…go refs!
Back to the G League Mousa
Why do they hate Serbs?
I don't see any other explanation, 🤷♂️
Jokic should be banned from playing. That would be fair. This kind of behavior is bad.
In Nugg Life fashion, the Jokic ejection won’t be a national headline or even discussed. Not with what happened with GSW last night.
I’ve watched NBA basketball for 40+ years and been a Nuggets fan my whole life. Even after winning a ‘Chip still no respect.
I don't actually know but the only reason I can come up with… WHO HAD A HUGE BET ON DENVER LOSING?
I know so many people who like basketball but hate the NBA because of how poorly it is officiated. This is a perfect example. What a joke the NBA is throwing out a 2x MVP and finals MVP for nothing.
Refs became ridiculous!, Did you see the tech at Mavs game on that dunk !! Imagine if you get kicked out on your second tech because you dunked!! Refs want to be part of the talk after the game more and more and NBA doesn’t care
Disappointed in Mike Malone. Dude signs apparently the highest coaching deal & he can’t even be blunt and stand up for his superstar player who got you all that 💰.
You can afford the fines now Mike! He or the front office now need to do something behind the scenes with the league or Jokic will retire sooner than anyone thinks.
Sudija dabogda da te ja sreo negdje
As I’ve continued to say Jokic & LeBron worst MVP all time greats whistle EVER!
This year for players who average 25+ PPG (17 players) Jokic 14th and LeBron 15th in FTA per game! If they both got the same whistle Embiid/Giannis/Trae/Dame/PrimeHarden got they’d both avg 30+ PPG!
Tyrese Maxey 16th & my man Haliburton 17th.
My 3 current players in the NBA (Hali LeBron Jokic who are all 3 of my 7 players ever along with Reggie Miller, MJ, Bird, Hakeem) 14/17, 15/17, 17/17 in FTA per game for players who average 25+ PPG!
Embiid 11.6 FTA per game
Giannis 10.4
TRAE YOUNG 8.7
DAME 8.4
Durant 8.3
Luka 8
Booker 8
Fox 7.7
SGA 7.5
Curry 6.7
Tatum 6.7
Mitchell 6.3
Anfernee Simons 6.3
Jokic 6
LeBron 5.6
Maxey 5.6
Haliburton 4.5
I feel with all the questions surrounding the nuggets bench. I think they are way better or play way better when they are forced to do so. Diamonds are formed under extreme pressure and Malone has the pressure cooker, cooking on the highest level.
