[CHICAGO]

If I’m a nuggets fan I have a lot of reasons to be pissed. How you in the league for so long and don’t pull back, up 1 late in the game, shot clock was off

BECAUSE HE WAS GONNA
GET FOULED AND HES NOT
A GOOD FT SHOOTER...

HE SIMPLY NEEDS TO MAKE
THE DAMN LAYUP

NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.

Part of the blame needs to go to Mike Malone. Just seems like Malone wants Jokic to be this ultimate hub at the expense of Jokic getting worn out. Like Jokic didn't even rest the entire 2nd half and 2 overtimes. That's foolish. The funny thing is that you can see whenever Jokic doesn't play, the Nuggets actually play decent and have some identity. So to over rely on Jokic like that is not going to help in the long run

Yea, the whole "heliocentric" phenomenon of the past 15+ years, whether it be LeBron, Harden, Russ, Luka, Jokic...

... the play style takes an unbelievable amount of ability and energy but its overindulgence can also be manufactured and self-serving by design (rather than need), or used to mask lazy basketball/coaching.

I've felt this way with D'Antoni to Kidd to now Malone. Granted it's more noticeable or flawed with guards/wings bc of how blatant they just stand watch and drift when the ball isn't in their hands.

A full year later and MIN’s late game offense is still a 1-4 flat iso for Ant, 30 feet from the basket, against a loaded 3-2 zone that’s intentionally ignoring Julius Randle.

Randle had the ball with a chance to win at the end of regulation.

McDaniels had the ball with a chance to win at the end of overtime.

I'm pissed. Went to bed at halftime of the Wolves/Nuggets game and looks like I missed a classic. That's that bullshyt.

 

[Dem313wayz]

Russ got into it with a fan after the game

He gonna cost Denver in the playoffs. He has no composure

 

[We Ready]

Jokic making sure they don't drop another one to Minny.

Joker needs to be investigated for point shaving and fan duel betting. Missing these easy ass shots he makes any other game. Suddenly

Yeah. He made sure the under hit on U/O 61.5 by missing that free throw

Ant don’t know wtf to do with that double

You saw a few plays where he didn't handle it well. He handled it well most of the night and made the right play.

Exactly. When you have a layup you take it if you're Russ with that much time left. Better to get what should be the guaranteed two points versus dribbling out saving what'll probably be only a couple seconds to get fouled and possibly miss.
