  1. Incredible game from Jokic but Nuggets need to improve their defense if they're really going to contend in the playoffs. This was the Hornets — not the Bucks. Shouldn't be this close at home.

  2. i know its the hornets but holy shit this man almost put up 40 30 and 10! those are wilt chamberlain numbers

  3. Monster 👹 performance of the Year! It's like when Vince Carter won the slam dunk after that iconic reverse 360 tomahawk. "It's over!" -Vince Carter

  4. Can we simply dedicate a moment to congratulate how much time and dedication was placed in these video!! 😃

  5. Friend Nikola nokia polar bear what an ice sheet many cracks what netting looking like KD but with sloppy life guards/ too many royal friends you gotta continue to steer straight and on the table play the JOKER

  6. The hornets put up a good fight for not having anyone able to guard jokic. Good game

  7. This is what happens when you dont have a decent center playing againts the best center in the league 😢

  8. i want to see an experiment where one team complains about every possible non call or call and the other doesn't and i wanna see which team will end up getting more calls

  9. 3rd straight MVP coming. Nuggets are winning games and he leads NBA in PER, WinShare, BPM, VORP. No need to hype TATUM! He's not even in the TOP 5 best player per advanced stats. He will have his time but not this year. Luka, Giannis, Durant and Curry are far more valuables. Even AD is better than him.

  10. Nuggets barely won against Hornets; one of the worst teams with record of 7-23.
    This reflects Denver's systemic defensive problems; 2nd worst defensive rating in NBA.

    Nuggets desperately need a capable perimeter defender; not only to anchor their defense, but to also reinvigorate team's defensive mentality.

    They need someone like Holiday, Smart, Crowder… or even PJ Tucker.

    Denver needs to trade MPJ & free up cap space to sign a skilled defender.
    MPJ is a "catch & shoot" role player, with a very limited skill set.
    Aaron Gordon can do much more offensively than MPJ plus he is a much better defender.
