The Jokic Floater!
^^ This shot separates this duo from every other two-man game.
Jokic and Murray are the best two-man game in the world. They have a massive Rolodex of solutions and always see the game through the same lens.
They do a phenomenal job of working through their process in the two-man game:
1. Recognize the coverage
2. Set up the action
3. Take what the defense gives them
Jokic and Murray's approach is a masterclass in efficiency. They rarely, if ever, attempt to force a play. Instead, they adapt to the defense and accept the outcomes, a strategy that consistently pays off in the long run.
This edit dives into how 10 Jokic & Murray two-man game actions from Games 3 & 4 in Minnesota and how they could pick apart every coverage thrown at them by playing with the process.
Teaching point for players watching: Do NOT try to fit a square peg into a round hole. Every defense has a solution. What makes Jokic and Murray special is that they both read and accept what the coverage is giving up.
This leads to great rhythm and on-balance shots (even if they aren't for them).

Thank you for this video
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel, and I hope you keep coming back for more breakdowns!
Good breakdown
Thanks! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!
Game 7 should be an awesome test for both teams!
Im going to laugh my ass off when the T wolves win game 7
How is your ass
Please dont put Jok and Jamal in the same sentence, Jamal is just another Gary Harris, solid G-League player. Imagine if Jordan instead of Pippen had Jamal who shoots 3 of 18 every other game (besides not playing any defence and having IQ75), he could just dream of 6 titles.
Thanks for checking out the edit, George!
Jamal is a great player, and everyone is subject to bad games occasionally. I would expect a significant response from Jamal in Game 7.
Bad game or not, he's still Jokic's two-man game partner, and they're the best in the league (primarily because of Jokic).
Murray is trash 90% of the time.
He might be just a little better than that.
He is definitely less consistent than Jokic, but he can hit some high points when he gets going.
There might be other guys in the league who could play the same role as Murray, but none of them have the chemistry or collective thinking power Murray has with Jokic.
