the yearly scheduled Jokic 3 ball before the playoffs is coming along right at the perfect time
It looks like Ant is only comfortable making that skip pass against the high drop coverage if the pass is to the weak side since there isn’t an additional defender on the wing that shrinks the passing window
Jason has a huge crush on jokic lol
One of the things that's crazy about Jokic is that he virtually never lets the team down in big games. That's been true for years. He always show up big time, literally every time. Even the greatest players fail at times in big moments but Jokic just doesn't. It's amazing. Never seen anything like it. Nuggets fans, his coaches and team mates always rest easy knowing he'll play big when the moment is big.
Unsure if you read these comments. I feel like this type of analysis is a lot better as a video with time for editing out dead time. I really like your content but this feels kinda dry and slow. Maybe it would be better with some sort of background tune as well. I really love your coverage but this kinda fell flat to me.
If your playoff post game content is going to be this format its going to be tough to stay awake and watch live.
Bro spent half an hour yapping
Its obvious they should exploit the jaden McDaniels matchup against jamal murray more and do off ball screens with Rudy and anthony. I can see a screen with anthony edwards going down without the ball will be very effective.
Only 56 like in 52 min? Jason fell off.
this is gonna be a good wcf if these teams meet in the playoffs. especially with both teams healthy.
Dang the fact i know for sure that Chris Paul would fit amazingly with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the playmaking aspect just blows my mind that no onw thought of it sooner. The Timberwolves needs playmaking bad. Plus i believe Chris Paul would made this team better on defense with just his knowledge of the game easily
thanks, im pretty ignorant about seeing what is happening when i watch nba, this helped a lot
Christian Braun locked down the Antman. Braun is much more stronger than people thinks. Edwards was able to push away Murray but was unable to push away Braun.
Was very interesting to see too that the ripped out Naz Reid who looks strong and hard was how weak and soft in reality against Jokic. The Nuggets guys are simply stronger and heavier than their opponents. Jokic is maybe the strongest guy in the league. Just look at MPJ. When he came into the league, he was a skinny guy. Now, he is almost more than 30 pounds heavier and this is true at Jamal too.
but in all honesty, they didnt really dominate, until they took off with like 4-5 minutes left in the game. it was a +/- 4 point game all night until that point. youd think based on the title that it was a 15 point game all game. I have seen ant make those skip passes you talked about, but i think he knows he can do that, however he knows that has gotten some really untimely interceptions by the defense in the past and has to choose that more wisely. i think mpj was ready to pounce on those skip passes. just my counter thoughts
You do such an amazing job thanks
Makes sense. Only do the clips for pivitol games like close outs or big games in general. Trying to hit like 2 per series is INSANE Jason too much burn out.
These film breakdowns are great. But sometimes i just wanna listen and not have to look at a screen 😭. Please don't forget about us audio listeners.
