5/6 from the field. 13/6/6 for the game. Denvers problems are similar to ours. Open teammates cannot punish the double teams that Jokic draws (in Mavs case Luka).
Add Jokics weight related defensive problems and his overall impact is worse.
Its funny when I looked at the box score in the 3rd Jokic had 13/6/6. When I just checked the final box score and that was still the numbers he put up I was baffled. Dude literally did NOTHING for almost a quarter and a half.
Jahlil Okafor put up 26 points on him. I had Denver in the top 2 this year and a dark horse contender. But after seeing the Nuggets almost blow it to the Kings, lost to the Mavs when both star players were off (although it was a 2nd night of a b2b), and now lose to the zion-less Pelicans I'm starting to question how strong they can be.
5 games in is a really small sample size, but in these 5 games Jokic has looked like a poster child for McDonalds.
