nuggets country let ride
Jokic is the most efficient player I've ever seen
👆 – BEAUTIFUL GIRLS HERE 😜✅s👄
Man, Jokic is absolutely mesmerizing when you watch him play a full game. The highlights are amazing but there’s so many amazing plays that end in a miss or that dont show in the box score that make him that much greater. Mind blowing🤯
jokic is mvp with that stat..
He still only begrudgingly gives Jokic his props.
Jokic had zero turnovers in the game also. Zero.
We didn’t let jerami grant go.. he decided to leave on his own
Put it into more context jokic missed 4 to 5 games covid so it's only maybe 2 to 3 games they haven't won his minutes
Heres a question for you.🤔
Why does it work with jokic and gordon at dunker spot, and it didn't work with embiid and simmons at the dunker?
Chill, Pelicans were on a back to back after a hard fought win versus the Sixers. That was a schedule loss
Jokic put an offensive clinic against the Celtics
Hats off to the Nuggets, they lead from start to finish. Denver shot 57% from 3, which is tough to beat. Boston shot 27% from 3, which makes it doubly hard to win. Actually pretty happy the Celtics kept it so close with that type of 3pt shooting discrepancy. Variance will align shooting over a larger sample size. Also Boston has lost 7 straight games on multiple days off. Doesn't matter if its home or away, good or bad teams, they seem to lose their rhythm. They are 25-4 on 1-night off games.
Monumentally important game? Every Celtic loss is labeled this way by JT. Yet they have the best record in the NBA
Just a day off Nuggets shot 57% that is great. Celtics 3 was off. Celtics need a True big man because if their 3 is off they can work the inside. It obvious Tatum and Brown are working too hard helping Al Horford rebound. Causing them to lose their legs early. Al Horford is not consistent or dominant enough. Brad Steven need to pickup Boogie Cousins asap so he can get some reps in before the playoffs start. Also, if R Williams is not healthy or REINJURY himself. If not this season is a bust. The league is slowly returning to a TRUE BIG MAN game. Also, the Celtics only have 2 sure scores (Tatum/Brown). Picking up Miles Bridges will add scoring, rebounding and dunking (inside game). Jaylen Brown is being SNUBBED. Brown keep the Celtics in the finals last year. When the game gets tough. Brown is tougher going to the basket then Tatum. Because of Brown stance on certain civil issues and image hinders him from receiving his credit. I love his no nonsense energy this year. The media is trying to down play him to make sure Tatum starts in the All Star game. Brown is not Tatum Robin. Brown is more like The Black Panther.
