i been telling yall for years. if u play the nuggets and get by your defender its a layup. jokic is one the worst rim defenders in the league as a center. its actually a big deal no one talks about, considering rim defense is the most important part of defense
yeah I hate how people try to say Jokic is an elite defender because he’s good at getting in the passing lane. If you can’t protect the rim as a Center, you can’t be a good defender
@@henry7486 i never seen anyone say he's an elite defender but hes pretty good on 1on1 post defense cuz his big body. his positioning is pretty good too but his lack of athleticism to block shots is a problem
@@henry7486 elite defender? definitely not, but he has above average defensive impact as a high iq team defender, but yes rim protection is indeed very important for big men so by default he really cant be an elite defender with that weakness
This was the nuggets defense all game, jokic my fave player but he gave like 40 points on defense, one of those games that makes you think in vegas, awful, nuggets body language was like they didn't care even in this bucket
Fitting that the Nuggets lose on a game winner cuz Jokic once again doesn't bother protecting the Rim. He gave up so many points this game cuz of that. Same case against the Kings but they squeaked by them
Jokic is GREAT on defense, leads all bigs in deflections and steals, rebounds, run the most miles per game out of any center...Denver is ALWAYS top 5-10 in defense with him on the floor(with imperfect personel) and much worse with him off...Lead the number 1 defense with him on the floor in the 2023 playoffs when they won a ring...should I countiniue? What does Giannis does? Rests and than gets 2 blocks? Thats not defense dummy...
Not sure why Russ didn't force Simons left, he had Murray in a better help position than allowing him to go right with the whole lane open. Pretty poor help effort from Jokic as well
Nah the nuggets players weren’t trying until last quarter and it’s fucking ridiculous they gotta take every game seriously the energy and passion they had a few seasons ago was off the charts for every game regardless of how good or bad the other team was.
Nah. Your interpretation is wrong. Losing KCP has messed up the balance of this roster big time. Players are playing with full might, it’s just that spacing has shrunk as kcp was certified sniper and clutch shooter. You can see jokic’s minutes were only 33 when they won a championship and now this season he has to play 38 minutes with all force. KCP was not just a player, he was also their best perimeter defender, shooter and high iq transition player with top level athleticism. Just how lakers made one mistake after another, denver is following same by losin, brown, green, reggie and now kcp
I watched the game, they didn't care, they were down 17 last quarter and the bench made 10 points to comeback and starting 5 finished it but never care for defense
Because you don't foul with the clock expiring and it would have been a foul. They were calling fouls on Jokic for the blazers flopping their head into his side while Jokic was just trying to stay outta the way. 3 fouls in the final 7 minutes and 2 were ridiculous.
I feel like this is the triple Spiderman meme but it's a triangle of Russ/Jokic/AG just fcking it up and not realizing they need to do everything to stop Anfernee.
a guy like giannis wouldve had his team down by 30 and not in position to make a game saving play... giannis +3 per 100 possessions this season on/off, jokic +29

@@fabriciocostaa but think about it , jokic helping westbrook is the best choice especially when you less than 3s to play , contesting could make simons uncomfortable and make him blow the shot or pass it to his center but the clock would run out before he shoots his layup. I know this is a lot to think about but i believe the coaching staff thought about that and even with i jokic IQ he should have thought about that too.
Right past Jokic. Defense matters, and he's a liability on that end of the floor. One of the worst rim protectors in the league. No way Anfernee scores if that's Giannis. Ol' Greek freak is just by far the best player in the world.
@TurtlEfrmdaManor Not interested until May. Players don't care about the regular season, so why should I. We'll see who's who in May and June. I'm afraid Bucks may only play a few in May
I thought Westbrook call himself a candidate for all defensive team. But he just got blown by Anfernee Simons, who’s not even a top 30 offensive player on the league. With zero contributions on the offensive end, one would wonder why he can be on the closing line up for a so called “contender”.
Like barely contested too. . .that was odd. Why didnt westbrook jump or foul? Gonna have to make 2 free throws to win vs me. . .but an open layup is crazy brody!
Jokic had no chance to block the shot from where he was and if he moved in more, it would have been an easy lob to a cutter. Do any of you know basketball, or do you just know agendas?
@@Sectrix2pp for that one play? possibly, but if youre talking the whole game then they wouldve already been out of it... giannis has his team at +3 on/off points per 100 possessions this season, jokic has his team at +29 per 100.... an average giannis game here wouldve had the nuggets down by 26 before this play even occurred, so they wouldve been running the clock out
