Nikola Jokic: “We just lost in the first round. I think we are far away.”
Changes needed?
“That’s not my decision. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all be fired.”
Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic had their EIGHT playoff game with each recording 25 PTS, 5 REB and 5 AST 🔥

Jokic this season:
— 1st in double-doubles
— 1st in triple-doubles
— 1st in RPG
— 1st in APG
— 4th in TS%
— 6th in +/-
— 7th in PPG

Averaging 28/13/11 on 57/38/83% shooting.
Jokic still the best player in the world. Anyone that says otherwise is cooked. No one consistently impacts a game on his level. And he LOVES big games.
Jokic this year:
More assists per game than Steve Nash’s 2006 MVP.
More rebounds per game than Giannis’ 2019 MVP.
More points per game than Steph’s 2015 MVP.
More steals per game than five of last seven MVP winners.
Nobody else alive can do that. Nobody.
Spurs get a stop, two free throws from techs and a transition take foul from Wemby hitting Jokic in the face.
Nuggets get their star player sidelined with a bloody nose.
