Nah he was in the 1st quarter

But golden state too good, and jokic got frustrated

I wanna see jokic with a real team
I'm figuring Jokic is going to not do much in the second halves. They are wearing that man out sprinting up the court as much as they can, plus all the GS movement on offense, and then him having to do everything on offense for the team. That would wear anybody out.

I mean I get it but if Murray and MPJ were healthy that would help. Would Giannis have been able to propel his Bucks to a championship with no Middleton or Jrue? I strongly doubt it. I’m sure Jokic wants to win and may choose to leave if the Nuggets fail to meaningfully contend. I’m sure just making the playoffs is not the goal.
Oh, no doubt, and that's my point. Jokic needs running mates like Jrue and Middleton, but Murray and MPJ (as a collective) aren't that. The stars will need to align for the Nuggets to get players like that to surround Jokic with. Giannis would still be stuck in 1st/2nd round exit status if the Bucks didn't get him the right help.

I'm really surprised Murray didn't come back this season. Everybody heals differently but it's been 12 months since he tore his ACL. Woulda thought he would have come back by March at least.

low key think Jordan Poole might be the best gay player in the league. He may come out one day. Something about seems gay,
