I think Russ starting or not starting isn't the main issue. He's gonna play 30+ minutes every night regardless because of the short bench. The key is to have him the most on the court with Jokic because Russ is really playing insanely well with Jokic
Jokic was upset with Brian Forte on that Jamal three. Not for that play but just all night was not calling anything at all. He was the ref in front of that double foul that was not called. Malone got a tech because of all of it.
apparently this is the first time since 1992 that 3 players on the same team had 10 assists, and i believe the first time ever that all 3 had 15+ points as well
CB had most fast break points in this game in NBA this season - 18. Franchise high. Nuggets lead NBA in fast break points per game - 34 just in this game. Jokić surpass 15.000 points, one of the fastest in NBA history to do it. Two players had triple double. (Jamal needed couple of rebounds to be 3 players) Westbrook only third player in history to have perfect triple double (no miss, no TO). Other two are Sabonis and Jokić. 3 players had 10+ assists. And one of most prominent commentators called them today "a definition of mediocre"?!? go figure.
One of my favorite reactors! Truly. People talk a lot about why ratings are down and it is as simply as viewers not understanding the game outside of makes and misses. I appreciate how educational your content is. More of this should be included in half time shows instead of random yapping. Anyways, keep doing what you’re doing! Happy New year!
But they give Embiid and SGA and Giannis those calls. Shits lame af, like the double foul that happened to Jokic should absolutely be called and then I guess you can let the other touch fouls slide.
Its lowkey on purpose, no bs. There's zero other explanation, and nobody really cares other than Nuggets fans who are relatively smaller in size. It is one of the more CRAZY double standards ITL and has to be a directive from the league. Idk if it's so MVP races are competitive or what, and even crazier, is apparently the league is allowing more contact in the post/ on post-ups this year....and hes really the only high scorer who utilizes post ups as the majority of his offense. God forbid you're within 4 feet of a 3pt shooter tho...even tho the fans are yelling for more post action and less 3s. Its nonsensical. No idea why the league is purposely limiting him but its lame.
As a Brit, I came to your channel last season and really enjoyed your commentary on the games, even those where you felt the pain of what Jokic and the Nuggets were doing to your beloved Lakers. You call out crap plays without favour and praise good plays equally. Keep it up, you make watching the highlights a pleasure.
Hey bro, love your reactions. That corner 3-pointer that Murray made, Jokic was definitely telling him he should've made the pass to MPJ who was wide open. I think Jokic this year is visibly more frustrated with Jamal's plays, especially when he tries to dribble into the crowded paint and takes insanely contested shots. Sometimes he makes them but most of the time it either ends up in a turnover or a block for the defense.
Great reaction. They don’t show it in the highlights but the refs were insanely bad in this one. Jokic was getting fouled with no calls a ton to close the second quarter and he was very animated with the refs for the rest of the game. So I don’t think he was telling Jamal to swing the ball there it was probably some lingering bs with a no call on an earlier play.
@PaleRider0 it is but you would expect our young ass team to have more energy than 35 rus. No disrespect tho i rly love how he plays and im vary happy hes in a team that actually knows what to do wigh him
Walker Kessler did a good job keeping Jokic to 36/24/10. That stat line doesn't show it, but Jokic shot really badly (for him) and it's because of Kessler's defense.
That's because US and EU/NATO bombed Serbia violating international law. Americans aren't pro-Serbian. Serbia is pro-Russian, and Russia is supportive of Serbia. They probably have a bias. If it were Chinese or Russians they'd root for Serbia. Knowing its the US, obviously, there is a lot of tension between our nations. There is a lot of hatred from the US side, and we arent happy knowing they fed us depleted uranium (you aren't allowed to use cluster bombs or depleted uranium which the US/EU/NATO used). Now if the US were to try to do the same Russia would wipe 'em off the map.
Denver do not need to make a trade, especially not for Porter. They just need to tighten up the defence and they will be ready for a championship run, which they are doing slowly. Offense is already elite as usual. 132 with only 9 threes and Jokic Murry and porter weren't even efficient. This could have been scary
The Nuggets are better when Westbrook starts. I don't care who he replaces. I would be fine with AG staying on the bench the rest of the year and then running this lineup. I don't think they need to make a trade at all, this is the team as far as I'm concerned.
@@schizowallflower russ came to be the backup point so he shouldn’t start. our starting 5 is perfect but what we need is jokic and russ to play together because that’s what’s making russ play good. when it’s just russ in he’s trying to do to much but with jokic in with him he’s not trying to do to much.
Where are you?We just wait??Jokic is the force!Russ is pure fire!Yes you share your wisdom with us!Jam going crazy!MPJ work with golden hands!And CB read diffence great!I like a lot Watson !the trial was disastrous, as if someone bribed the judges to blind them. Malon even argued! Happy New Year, smart ones!
There's really only one trade that needs to happen and it can't this year. Murray just doesn't look like he belongs on the team anymore. I hate to say it because he was so important to the championship run, but he slows down the offense so much and dribbles the air out of the ball. He's not a max contract player. I can also argue that MPJ isn't a max contract player, but I feel like MPJ plays his role well.
Happy New Years! Been thinking about trades for a while now.... I wouldnt give up Braun for anyone right now because he has great chemistry with everyone. I think you ask the big three who they gell with the most it would be braun. I do feel Jokic was calling out Murray on that play where he made the corner three and didn't swing it to MPJ lol. Braun is more consistent being that third best player more than MPJ...But I wouldn't trade MPJ for anyone either. It's tough.
No way should they willingly trade Christian. He adds so much speed and energy to that team which is the counter balance to Jokic's slower, more deliberate annihilation of everyone! Braun has gotta be close to most improved player in the league. And he's amazing value for what he's getting paid.
@@AndyGraceMedia I agree mate, but other than MPJ he is the most coveted asset if not even more than MPJ. I feel that the rest of the league is not as high on MPJ.
Jokic was complaining to ref not Murray. We don’t want MPJ traded at all. We need defense, but crazy when they won the chip, they ranked 15th! Happy New Year’s ZTay!
If Nuggets can trade for a good wing like a stretch four or just someone better than Tyson I think they should. Back up center is interesting but AG does it well in the playoffs and DJ is absorbing minutes for Jok just fine right now. The Forward depth is just really light right now.
Nuggets problems rn wouldn't be fixed by any trades they can make. But leadership (jokic comments on "I can have to do more" after getting 50pts and losing) and then Malone says something like"we don't have the personnel to shoot more threes" post game and the next game everyone's taking their open threes... we'll be fine if we stay healthy
They didn't show the play where Murray at the 3 point line missed Jokic wide open under the hoop. Nobody else even in the paint. Murray miss a lot of passes because he is a me first type player.
i think walker kessler needs a reset on a different team. relearn things bc he has potential but is still raw & can be very bad D sometimes despite being a pretty good shot blocker. i think he would thrive off the bench for SA personally.
15:12 Jamal been putting up decent numbers, but as a Pg he struggles commanding the floor and seeing passes before they are already too late. Once Jamal starts playing well I say we trade him for someone more efficient
Just wanted throw out a lil food for thought for you since you mentioned how well Jokic is shooting from 3. I’d say Jokic is shooting even better than his record shows from 3 because he probably averages at least one last second desperation toss per game, which typically hurts your average, just like when Reddick complained about LeBron NOT shooting one earlier this year because it hurts your average! Jokic doesn’t care about stats though, which also makes him great. Some of those desperation tosses he tries is ridiculous too, almost like a volleyball spike from full court. I truly am curious if you removed all his desperation shots from his stats, what his 3-pt percentage actually is? Take care man!
Hopefully the Nuggets can get an on ball or better defender on the wings. Keon Ellis (doubt Kings would trade him) or Bruce Brown (on the buyout market?) would be ideal for them and honestly, trade Julian and picks or whatever you can. Then try to get Trey Lyles or Larry Nance Jr. Calvin Booth should be fired if he plans to leave the team like this as their defense is going to be inconsistent/ nonexistent all year
no trade the nets traded smith to the Lakers i think the only trade that makes sense was cam and finny for mpj other then that im not a fan of any other players right now
I wish to make a trade but not for MPJ he play much better and he is one of best 3pts shooter in NBA still young it's tall just they need especially younger players to learn assists more CB and Watson must learn to pass CB become new MPJ if he get ball only go dunk even he have many chances to make one more pass and make much cooler dunk if he get back to Russ who was next to him! Watch Joker and Russ if Russ steal ball he pass to Joker and he can score but he turn back ball to him so Russ can dunk and same play with Jamal if Joker cut pass and pass to Jamal or Russ they give him back so he can finish and that's basketball what I like to watch not selfish!
I hope the Nuggets don’t make a trade right now. They are playing a lot better the last month and a half and I think if they do make a trade it would hurt more than help.

Your timing is perfect 😂 I was just looking for a reaction to this game, instead of just watching the highlights, and you posted this
Literally same
Me too. If Ztay reacted to some extra clips after the highlights on the side, he'd be the perfect one stop shop.
you got me sayin "COOKIES" during live games when the nuggets steal lol. my wife looked at me all weird "did you just say 'cookies'?"
Idk if bro knows but Jokic actually says this as well 😂 post-game he always says defensively "the team allows me to play the cookie monster role" 😂😂
I think Russ starting or not starting isn't the main issue. He's gonna play 30+ minutes every night regardless because of the short bench. The key is to have him the most on the court with Jokic because Russ is really playing insanely well with Jokic

Nuggets have always been getting robbed of calls not being made by league officials. It's ridiculous how much is missed against Jokic.
@@shinigamigaming2941 everyone would hate it he actually got his calls only person who don't need free throws to effect a game in MVP top 5
But they give Embiid and SGA and Giannis those calls. Shits lame af, like the double foul that happened to Jokic should absolutely be called and then I guess you can let the other touch fouls slide.

ZTay! Happy New Year! You are always DA Man! Love watching your reactions!
You do the best reactions on RUclips! Keep up the good work!
Jokic was complaining to the ref he was getting hacked all game. Refs were straight up cheating in the first half
Always lookin forward to your Breakdowns! Lfg Ztay 💪
9:00 Jokic was definitely looking for the extra pass. And people will accuse him of stat padding
We call Wemby an alien bc of how he looks, but Joker is an alien for how he plays and his insane stats.
Took you long enough! Been waiting all morning for this! J/k love your breakdowns man, thanks for what you do!
Rusel was going wild jumping for every ball this game like a man on fire. Idk how one of our oldeat players has the most energy
always been that way lol
@PaleRider0 it is but you would expect our young ass team to have more energy than 35 rus. No disrespect tho i rly love how he plays and im vary happy hes in a team that actually knows what to do wigh him
Ztay you analyze games like a veteran, old dude. Keep up the good work!
Always appreciate the Denver love Z. 🤙🤙
Happy New year,ZTay,all the best to you!
Watched the game they were fouling the shit outta joker with no calls at that point
Love you channel bro!!👍👍
Happy new year ZTAY 🔥

As always, u the bestest at the breakdowns!
Our defence is really bad at the moment, well the whole dam season tbh. If we cant get better there were in trouble
love the drawing on screen, very helpful
That no call around 7:20 is ridiculous..
W. No Trades. Joker threatened to cut their paychecks...
I know we won, but wow the officiating was absolutely terrible, especially against Jokic i swear they have something against him. 💯

Happy new year brotha hopefully your lakers take care of business tonight
Had the night of my dreams on Fanduel and Nuggets got the W 🙌🏼
I don't want the Nuggets to trade MPJ, he's elite catch and shoot from 3. He should be taking 5 3's a quarter tbh.
Brody said, " You had me twice just to trade me."
"cookies" cracks me up
Man noticed that murray was the only on the negative box +/-

Idk about George, but Juzang and Collier look like they could be something
You should watch thunder twolves. Really entertaining game
I don't think they need a trade. Just more minutes when they can for the bench and to be healthy
The pass at :54. We gotta fight. And I an a Nuggets fan.
Denver shood buy Aleksa Avramović.He is creazyest. Energetic more than Murey and Russ

Cant trade Murray or Gordon
Only option is to trade Jokic and get your franchise Back

Let's go nuggets 🎉
Da BEARS!
U still didnt react on "are we witnesing greatest peak..."
