  1. Jokic should leave the Nuggets. They're all mediocre at best except AG and Brown. Murray ain't no superstar like Booker, even Jalen Bronson is better than him. What a waste of talent.

  6. Clear travel on that first basket. This guy gets away with so many non calls. Travels, carries the ball. Pushes off. He should literally foul out every game.

  8. Whenever Jokic scores a ton, it means the rest of the team was struggling so he has to take matter into his own hands. More often than not it means a L for the team. Not really a good thing

  10. Jokic was asked, what was the reason for the defeat against Miami? He said I don't know.. He knows what everyone saw. Teammates have to play, move, and use assists. They hit the shots.. Watch the clip. Jokic gets the ball and scores. Jokic assists, teammate misses?? That's the reason for the defeat.. Jokic 41 points. Teammates??

  13. It's not about what Jokic does or Miami . This game was all what coach Malone DIDN"T DO . He did NOT challenge obvious goal tending on Murray's shot , he did NOT take TO 14 sec. to the end . I never see so much confusion in any team before how much we so last night from Denver . Denver needs better coach then this . What's going on with MPJ ??? I can score 3 times from 20 attempts .

  15. when you see the center from opposing team running coast to coast, then score on your team out numbered 1v4, you know you are in deep trouble. MIA may have won game 2 battle, but the war was already over before it even begun.
