@@ayo5257 I like watching interesting basketball. I have no team allegiance. It isn't interesting watching someone throw the ball into the air stopping the game for 5 minutes at a time because the person throwing air balls jumped into the defender. but for some people it is interesting, and probably why less people watch basketball.
@@ayo5257 what Giannis does is put pressure on the refs because he is the one creating most of the contact. If they want they can call an offensive foul on him almost every time too
Jokic defense is his ability to read set plays before it happens and some sneaky steals. He ain't shot blocker but it's fine because his offense is just amazing this season
Saying his percentages have fallen off a cliff only applies if you are comparing him to himself, because even with these numbers they are Elite. Saying that this is why the Nuggets record isnt better is simply irresponsible and ignorant to say. Murray has been shitty over all since he got the bag ( a bag he didnt deserve by the way) with the exception of the last 2 games. Not to mention that both Gordon and Murray were out in the early part of this season. MPJ has been good but some of his shot decisions are ridiculous. Braun, is decent but is still developing. Thats why they are not better. If it weren't for Jokic, they would be much much worse, and I think you know that.
@@bballbreakdownit is in no way, zero percent, due to Jokic. It is 100% due to their non existent depth and every other starter playing like absolute shit. This might be the worst video you've ever made.

@@deandrepage1048 agreed. I don't like how the new stricter and stricter salary cap won't let valubale players like KCP who doesn't need the ball or to score to add to winning get frozen out of staying with the same team year after year. He always is clutch and defends well
Jokic is taking a career high 21 field goal attempts per game this season, SEVEN higher than his career average. I would be shocked if he was still shooting 70% in the paint with this team
Thank you for your breakdowns. As someone who last played competitive basketball when Ronald Reagan was president, I find your videos to be invaluable in understanding modern offense.
To say- Alphren Shengun will end with a better Career then Nikola Jokic because he can dunk don't mean propaganda like this hides like lipstick on a Pig in a sea of Pigs. And people ask why the NBA is in trouble lol
Jokic doesn't contest layups so that he can grab the rebound if it is a miss. When you contest layups, you are not in a position to grab the rebound. In other words, he plays bad defense that pad his rebound stats. That's why stats can be misleading
@@svengaliUGNo, he does it so he won't be in foul trouble (which is basically a death sentence for the Nuggets offense). Jokic doesn't have the athleticism for high flying blocks. He's much more suited to relying on his bb IQ to contest the passing lanes and breaking down the play.
@@zettour.You don't have to block a shot to contest... Joker is huge and has quick feet... He can get in the way and make a layup harder instead of just letting them thru
@@geechiedan68 He does. That's why he's average on defense. Problem is, there's really nothing Jokic can do once the guy gets up to lay it in. He won't meet them at the rim so he'll just wait for the rebound instead.
@@zettour. I disagree. Jokic does not contest layups so that he can be well positioned to grab the rebound. It is plain stat hunting. If you contest the shot, you are rarely in position to grab the rebound. And this is one way that stats sell a false story. By not performing his paint defense role, Jokic inflates his rebounds stats and everyone goes wow!
The worst part of Jokic's game is his will (lack of) to challenge guards on the cuts and layups. Even not being a good shot blocker (which is expected with his lack of verticality) doesn't mean he shouldn't try to challenge shots. That's the only thing I hate about his game, he sometimes doesn't even bother to try to challenge. Other than that he is a full package. His defensive awareness, quick hands and strength make up for lack of verticality, but he must challenge shots more. On the offensive side, there is no need to even comment, he is a genius, one of a kind.
So you want him to risk getting into foul trouble and forcing his team to play more minutes without him? Did you hear how horrendous the nuggets are when Jokic is not playing?
@TheBestMovieAlive Man, no reason to defend Jokic from me, he is my countryman. If anyone likes him and cheers for him, it's us, Serbs. It doesn't mean we cannot point out the only flaw he has in his game. Challenging Anfernee Simons vs Trailblazers wouldn't put him in foul trouble, it was the last possession and the game was on the line.
The turnovers are definitely a legitimate concern but honestly for a player with this level of vision and volume of high leverage passes made/attempted I don’t think it’s out of the norm for that archetype.
Awesome. Can you do a breakdown of Victor Wembanyama’s offence compared to players like KD, AD and Jokic snd what you think his optimal usage would look like as he develops please.
The Nuggets are fine, the only way you beat Denver is if you attack Joker and there are no centers who can do that. His offensive efficiency is his defense. With that said, for the team to have an easier run to the finals, Joker has to do less. He is not playing with a bunch of tin cans, those are professionals, and they played basketball very well to get to the NBA. One can blame Murray all day long but when you do not consider that you are asking Murray to adapt his play to Jokers', how would you think it would work out vice versa and how long will it take to implement a Murray led offense? It is the same thing that happens to every out of world performing player How would a guy like KD fit on a team with Joker? Would you ask KD to adapt his game to Jokers'? MPJ has been suffering through it for a long time The reason the offense drops off a cliff and so many good players leave is because there are no offensive packages for them.
Weird video, valid criticisms but the focus should have been around the line ups and lack of effort on defense. Sad to see such a masterful season, completely die on the other side of the ball. Been a Jokic defense is above average guy for a long time but he’s saving energy on that end
Jamal murray their starting PG on a max contract isn’t mentioned for their suboptimal record but their backup PG making 3 mill a year is. Can you hear me shaking my head? The funny part too is that Jamal and Russ have similar shooting splits too.
This is what the Lakers Centers could not provide Russell Westbrook, Top of Key 3-pointers by the “Trailing Big” to make off Westbrook’s Penetrate & Kick.
What a wonderful and honest analysis and I completely agree with your conclusion that what Jokic is doing is outrageous. Those clips about Denvers offense halfway in the video are a thing of beauty and to all the haters, and jealous former stars that try to stay relevant by shitting on todays game (looking at you Shaq and Chuck), please watch more Jokic/Denver. There is history being made in front of your eyes but these insecure narcissists are too dense to recognize it..
They are definitely allowing more contact on Jokic then others. Sabonis gets the same treatment in some games. Just check how many less free throws jokic gets comparing to embiid and davis and he has way more presence inside the paint than those two. They shoot around two times more free throws per game on average just looking at this season. I know this has been the case in previous years too. Sabonis gets treated like this sometimes too. Defenders put their hands on jokic and push him more since he plays more with his back turned to the basket. Embiid and Davis face up and swipe through those hands and often flop to get to the line.if his inside shooting is down, its because of fauls he does not get in most cases
I wish Russ wouldn’t shoot as much. At 36 he no longer has the same rocket ship speed to would bail out his subpar shooting He’s still quick and fast, but he used to be an absolute freak. He should be a pass first point guard and still good defender at this point
Also Michael Porter is the most underrated player in the league :) he allows aaron gordan to slide around on the defensive end and he's one of their better shooters! :) Happy Holidays !
Murray is a way bigger problem than any if Jokic's perceived 'weaknesses' which are really only skills that are slightly not as elite when compared to himself.
@ggrlyggrly4476 yeah but he's usually focused on pushing the ball to open runners rather than running the court himself. Jokic would get to his spot to shoot rebound or pass rather than run the floor for other playmakers.
Such a hater to Westbrook. He's been having a phenomenal season as a role player this year. Jokic is also arguably the statistical MVP right now even with the "fall off" in post up efficiency.
Not even a single brief bucks' anaysis, this guy really hates the bucks, specially Giannis for some reason. I am not sure if he even deleted my comment on one of his video pointing out the fact that he only post Bucks or Giannis when he wants to criticize something as part of his content. This might be the worst "coach" I've known so far in YT because of how bias he can be. I'm pretty sure he'll say he's only covering those people or teams that benefits him with more views but come to think of it, if he really want views, Giannis alone can bring them up. Visit his profile and you'll see a FEW videos about Bucks or Giannis, and majority of those are pointing out how BAD they are, or Giannis being "dirty" all the time as he scares other players. Like bro, you glaze every superstars you feature but how come when it's Giannis, you always do this thing where you compliment him for one part of his game but there is always a "BUT".
I was the first channel to spotlight how great Giannis is, so I'm not sure where all this is coming from. This isn't a highlights channel, it's in depth analysis of what is really going on, backed up with video evidence. I love Giannis and he's probably the best teammate in the league, any coach would want him on their team. If I see something about a player's game than can be improved, then I'll break that down, too. I'm also trying to cover as many subjects as I can across the NBA, so it's hard to do too many videos on one player or team. Hope this makes sense
underutilization of Aaron Gordon is a tragedy. He could be feasting on the actions Denver runs, but they settle for some trash jump shot from some no name.
I think theres some value in Jokic not challenging shots amazingly enough. With his lack of athleticism he will pick up more fouls. If hes in foul trouble the Nuggets are cooked.
Lmao you can’t be serious. Dude is having to carry the team every single game so of course he’s playing different. If he doesn’t put up a 30+ point triple double then they lose.
Lmfao. Nuggets have terrible spacing this season and he's now taking a bit more 3pt shots That's the reason for the drop in FG%. Murray has been terrible in shooting the ball, teams leave Braun and AG open. And Russ also started a decent amount of games this season who is also a non shooter.
The NBA became so weak. That's why Jokic is great now, but I think if the Joker was playing in the old NBA like 90's or 2000 he would be a role player not a Superstar.
It's not clickbait when the quality of content is high and is related to what the title is, which this video does so I don't see it as clickbait. Did u watch the video?
Bro is saying they are allowing more physicality under the basket and literally showing how they are hacking Jokic at the same time lol And minus 6% isn't falling off a cliff. Yes is not as good as before but not even close to bad. Also they have less pacing and he is taking more of those shots so ofc it's going to go down somewhat plus that gap will close as the season goes on
Russ is super athletic and his super fast pace tiring up Jokic and esp. Porter who is super slow. Russ is ok for his years but he is terrible fit for Denver Jokic with Russ-- cant control the game as usual with his slow methodical half court offense because Russ has more and more ball in his hands and Malone is delusional to doing that Denver plays different this season.

Freaking Jordan is our back up center 🙄 Jokic with almost 38 per game is bad for the Denver.

His post up numbers down while turnovers his turnovers are up because he is gassed. Because the Nuggets are playing at a faster pace and getting out in transition - this will mean he is having to move his fat ass more and more up and down the court. It takes it's toll!!!

This isn't a highlights channel, it's in depth analysis of what is really going on, backed up with video evidence. I love Giannis and he's probably the best teammate in the league, any coach would want him on their team. If I see something about a player's game than can be improved, then I'll break that down, too. I'm also trying to cover as many subjects as I can across the NBA, so it's hard to do too many videos on one player or team. Hope this makes sense
westbrook erasure 🥲
The defense in the NBA is weak until the playoffs then they try to step it up. Nuggets need to get Zion for the bench.
Jokic needs help, but every game, not every 3 or 4 games...shame, he is giving himself 100 percent every game.
underutilization of Aaron Gordon is a tragedy. He could be feasting on the actions Denver runs, but they settle for some trash jump shot from some no name.
I think theres some value in Jokic not challenging shots amazingly enough. With his lack of athleticism he will pick up more fouls. If hes in foul trouble the Nuggets are cooked.
Love the Joker 🃏
He is better than Magic Johnson.
Is 70 to 64 really falling off a cliff?
mpg is the secret
and were is Joel ''I am the real MVP" Embiid now?
Have to win are stats are hollow. Love Jokic but you have to win.
lol blaming Russ for jokic being bad , hilarious
lol man to nitpick at that is crazy his defense is the problem along with the rest of the team. That and lack of shooting
His defense is not that good judging by eyetest
What compared to God?!
Okay now do the same for Lebron and educate his fans why he actually sucks despite the stats, coach.
Yall braindead jokic glazers is why no one likes him
8:59 foul
Terrible (Barkley voice)
Turribl
Happy for Russell Westbrook though.
Lmao you can’t be serious. Dude is having to carry the team every single game so of course he’s playing different. If he doesn’t put up a 30+ point triple double then they lose.
So what is not serious about the analysis?
no defense is helping him
Did he really blame Russ for the lack of success for the 2nd unite? what a clown
Biggest russ and jokic hate
Giannas MVP
Jokic has been a mess. But has the highest box +- comparing on/off court of all time by nearly double. 😂
Go compare it to unanimous mvp curry.
Haters gonna hate
10/10 ragebait
Shush casual
the secret is, rest of his teams dogshit and hes the only one who can do stuff.
exaggerating, but u get the point
Lmfao. Nuggets have terrible spacing this season and he's now taking a bit more 3pt shots That's the reason for the drop in FG%.
Murray has been terrible in shooting the ball, teams leave Braun and AG open. And Russ also started a decent amount of games this season who is also a non shooter.
Cop
Jokic glazers in shambles after watching this video😭😭😭
The NBA became so weak. That's why Jokic is great now, but I think if the Joker was playing in the old NBA like 90's or 2000 he would be a role player not a Superstar.
"He would be a role player." 😂🤡
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Giannis is the MVP
No he really isn't. Jokic is even a better scorer than him in addition to all the other things he's much better than him at
Not a single passive aggressive comment and sugar coating his weakness, I see a pattern here, or not
Hes a jokic lover and a giannis hater
6/10 ragebait
Love the clickbait slop
So whats the secret?
Apparently Malone hasnt seen any of the games Westbrook played in the past 5 years.
Yes
crazy that you are normally this not clickbaiti, just disappointed
It's not clickbait when the quality of content is high and is related to what the title is, which this video does so I don't see it as clickbait. Did u watch the video?
waiting for the Steph Curry and Warriors blowout highlights. Waiting for someone to say Russ is done and cant get a ring.
Bro is saying they are allowing more physicality under the basket and literally showing how they are hacking Jokic at the same time lol
And minus 6% isn't falling off a cliff. Yes is not as good as before but not even close to bad. Also they have less pacing and he is taking more of those shots so ofc it's going to go down somewhat plus that gap will close as the season goes on
Cope
Russ is super athletic and his super fast pace tiring up Jokic and esp. Porter who is super slow.
Russ is ok for his years but he is terrible fit for Denver
Jokic with Russ-- cant control the game as usual with his slow methodical half court offense because Russ has more and more ball in his hands and Malone is delusional to doing that
Denver plays different this season. Jokic played 10 years non stop without load management. He played also in Olimpic game. He is simply tired. Freaking Jordan is our back up center 🙄
Jokic with almost 38 per game is bad for the Denver. He cant play his famouse point center controled game with his own pace with Russ who is like on amphetamin always chasing up and down😬
Westbrook having the second highest usage on the team, is wild stuff.
His post up numbers down while turnovers his turnovers are up because he is gassed. Because the Nuggets are playing at a faster pace and getting out in transition - this will mean he is having to move his fat ass more and more up and down the court. It takes it's toll!!!
The point about pace u made is a good one
Russ is super athletic and his super fast pace tiring up Jokic and esp. Porter who is super slow.
