Unfortunately for Jokic, he doesn't have a Jrue and Middleton, or a Harden and Maxey. Only one other Nuggets player has hit double digits, and they've only got 10.
Trae is just a lot better than Jokic offensively. Trae biggest flaw is, he's just a below average open court player but that don't mean shyt in the playoffs as it does in the RS.

Trae getting slept on when he's the best in the game offensively. Nothing like him. Every offensive possession, he puts maximum pressure on your defense. Jokic is RS elite. A lot of the shyt he do is because you don't have time to gameplan around it in the RS. The problem playing against Trae is like Reggie Miller, he has time to gameplan against you in the playoffs. To me, it was never close. I know Jokic deserved MVP this year but he's flawed playoffs wise. I don't think Murray or Porter Jr is the answer either.

There is a reason I say Trae is the best offensive player in the NBA and not Jokic. You can't wear Trae down, he wears you down. With Jokic, you can run him down. Phoenix did it last year and GS is gonna do it this year.
Steph hung 50 on Trae twice this season.. first in ATL and the second time at the all star game :mjlol:

Dubs ain't even shooting that well and Denver can't do anything. Boogie should get sent to China. He still ain't learned?

Denver looks like shyt. Curry ain't even scoring and they're getting buried.
Is it any surprise?

The Nuggets are a lottery team. Jokic literally dragged this trash ass squad to 50 wins, and you still have nxggas on here who believe he doesn't deserve MVP. Meanwhile, we just saw Philly win when three players on the team scored more than Embiid.
