The Jokic to Gordon lobs are always so satisfying
Yeah i agree when dennver is talked about its all about the Jokic - Murry Duo, but damn when Jokic lays up Gordan i swear half of the time i don`t understand how did the Joker even know Gordon will be there. And also half of those layups are easy buckets for the Joker anyway, like this exact shot against the warriors for the Joker thats an 80% anyway. And if thats the case there are only two reason i can think of why he makes it an assist anyway.
A) He really actually just wants his team to get some - which sounds like him.
B) He gives it to Gordon just to mess with the defence even more. I mean the Joker is still the actuall Problem wheter he makes the bucket himself or lays it up, but i imagine its harder for the defence to focus on him if they have a picture of gordon dunking a layup in the back of their mind.
Aaron Gordon is always overlooked. I never understand why. This dude single-handedly busted out the entire Heat's defense line last year.
@@scootyang2311 I agree with the both of you. Murray is also underrated but then that only takes more attention away from Gordon. Also Gordon was shirtless walking around in Denver after they won then later went to watch Jokic's horses race in Sombor. He's a legend in my book 😂
I remember when this channel was bashing Jokic saying Nuggets will never win with Jokic. Ah, good times. :D
Lol the whole video is still under a year's old "attack Jokic, weak defender" Yada Yada when he finished the night with 4 steals and a block and disrupted a wild amount of GS's offense. While also being the best offensive weapon since MJ on the other end. Jokic and KCP were the most impactful defenders in either team last night
@@daddyfuse505 deflections as well! Dude is upping his defensive game
When defending in the paint, Jokic is biased towards stealing the ball, rather than towards defending at the rim.
As he collapses in the paint while covering his man, he remains semi-bent forward, his hands constantly swiping & probing for a steal or deflection.
But, this leaves him out of position to block at the rim. This is why we don't see many attempts to block at the rim.
The defender has to make the decision on whether to focus on attempting to block at the rim or attempt to steal/deflect? Usually cannot do both at the same time!
I wonder though how different may his defensive prowess be if he re-focused on defending the rim, rather than stealing the ball... @@daddyfuse50
@@daddyfuse50yall get butt hurt over weird stuff.
To be fair, I remember when this channel was predicting a very bright future for Denver after they drafted an injuried MPJ
Gordon is so important to their game. Dude has one of the best off ball movements in the entire league. The fact that hes huge and athletic and can guard wings and bigs gives them so much freedom in their approach. Sure murray and jokic are the stars, but he is the x-factor
Yep. Big, strong, very mobile and athletic, Gordon can legit guard 1-5. And it is difficult for other teams to match up with him when he is on offense.
Bis biggest flaw is his shooting..
@@unknownname6519 yeah if he was good shooter he would be superstar, maybe having his own team. But he can have good shooting nights, where he scores 20+ points and that is great thing about him, when he is like that you can easily steal games on the side.
Jokic finally getting is props in this channel. Long overdue but better late than never.
Yeah some props, but you can hear in the way he is talking and words he is using, he really don't like it... Hahaha, to bad Jokic best player in the league!
probably the trade of the decade getting Gordon
I'm rooting for the Nuggets to repeat. They're just playing beautiful basketball which is a real marvel to watch.
They dont have bench bruce brown haunted them
Jokic’s deflections are so impactful when he’s defending. It completely stops the opponent’s offense.
We're in the Jokic era
Warriors aren't the dynasty anymore.
It's the Nuggets
Always were.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC GOAT NIKOLA JOKIC GOAT I ALMOST TYPE NIKOLA TESLA LOL
@@user-fz7tg9nikola Jokic isn’t goat of basketball like Djokovic is for tennis there’s no way
@@dewman7477 not yet at least
The most satisfying scene of NBA 2024: watch green, a muscle kung-fu player who has strong confidence in himself, get schooled by joker and gordon.
Green said he had a nightmare night against Jokic and he had absolutely no chance vs Jokic this game. I like his honesty.
Finally a Jokic video.. I thought this channel was Jokic blind..
KCP is such a good player. Was great in LA and Detroit too. Especially in playoffs!!!
He is having somewhat off season this year. I hope he will return to his old form, they will need him if they want to repeat.
Those jersey grabs warriors are doing to Jokic are criminal
You’re only seeing what you wanna see
They can’t win without illegal screens and cheating
@@nickjones5495 Green straight up was grabbing crotch on Jokic drives
@@frontrangejrsJust sounds like your subconscious gay dreams.
Curry gets grabbed a lot too
No team can beat them in a best of 7. Period.
This is so true. Thunder and timberwolves better start preparing cuz a playoff series is a diff ball game altogether.
Boston.
@@chiggsytube the concept with KP and Jrue is great. but not this year. next year maybe...
Jokic is the best player in the league by far. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot
@Suborneer best player in the league is Kevin Durant ok ya jokic cheerleaders

@@darnellwilliams8783lol kd?? 😂
By far?? Cmon bruh who are these people ???

“When you chicken out and throw this dying quail” 😂 😂
You should do a video on the Miami Heat. There’s some really interesting stuff about how they are one of the only teams who can successfully run zone defense (one of the better defenses in the NBA). Also cool storylines on how Duncan Robinson is a more complete player after falling out of the rotation, Bam’s defensive skills, and how one of the best coaches in the league can get the most out of players who otherwise wouldn’t be playing.
Yeah I will
Thanks for educating me in one sentence
@@Jtlovesfoodthe attention span of people today is complete shit
They run gimmick schemes*
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK COACH NICK💪
Funny all Jokic mistake on defense were made on the 1st Q and never again closing out on switch shooters
This team is so well constructed and with more chemestry that any other team. Is really hard to imagine them losing in the playoffs.
Excellent breakdown, coach!
Thx!!
Nobody is talking about a Denver dynasty up ahead. 3 peat on the way
Lmao 🤣 no way now
Don't put the cart before the horse and jinx them, they gotta repeat first...
@@dewman7477. Don’t laugh it off . . . It will come in handy for sitting on
@@nenevz2948 that’s assuming no other team exists lol 😂 stop it now
How is that not a moving screen on Draymond at 1:19? I ask because there are some NBA rules that I don’t understand.
The GS classic...
There was no contact between Draymond and KCP, therefore, technically no screen was set and considered to be play in motion.
It would be a moving screen, if KCP ran into Draymond, and then he started moving while withholding KCP.
IMO Jokic looks like prime Tim Duncan especially in this game
They do kind of move the same way
Duncan never had the outside game Jokic has..and Jokic is a far better passer and playmaker..the only thing they compare is the post game that's it..
@@elmehdinafia1237Duncan is WAY better on defence though despite lesser passing and 3 point shooting. Duncan did rebound and score and hit midrange bank shots at a high rate though.
Jokic has much better shooting from ALL POSITION
3-10 feet is 58 %Jokic vs 47% Duncan.
3 pts Jokic in playoff insane 41.2%. Last playoff he had 46% lmfao.
Jokic is so much good that he is much better than even Duncan's shooting who had great post up and midrange.
@@milosjovicevic6083 spacing is different today, duncan would shoot much better in today's game
😮 great breakdown
2:07 that Wiggins play happened before the Draymond turnover lol
Not a single video on the Thunder this season is a crime 😞
Working on one right now!!!
Give JOKIC the MVP already, last year was highway robbery
Well Jokic might win mvp unless luka gets his team to 4th seed or higher. Lucky Embiid is injured and 65 game rule helped too he was runaway favourite before that
Jokic 3rd MVP, 2nd NBA Title, 2nd FMVP. Already a Legend
Nuggets are playing simple but highly effective basketball, that makes it harder to compete.
That last play with Gordon is just an example of each individual players knowing their role and executing at a high level. 😊
Good start of the video. How will NBA champs handle 10th team in the west? 😂
He’s such a good player. By far my favorite the past 2 years
Why do you need to see the Joker trash a garbage 10 seed team, before admitting he is currently the best player by a mile?
Btw reffs allowed tough game..so atleast one foul by jokić is not called and several by Green..but was equalish whistle..so you can have tough game and balanced whistle..and people pay for that kind of games
New/old MVP....-Nikola Jokić!
More Nuggets video coach!
You really need to worry about Aaron Gordon when playing against the Nuggets. This dude is full of talent. Apart from his insane athleticism, he's actually a lot smarter than he looks. During the finals last year, Aaron Gordon is the guy who busted out the entire Heat's defense line. I think Spoelstra overlooked this guy and realized it when it was too late. With so many small guys on the court there is no anwser for Murray Joker and Gordon at the same time.
The 2022 season they are injured now they are healthy i knew the nuggets are coming in the 2019 playoffs when they face the spurs and blazers
Would 2022 GSW or current 2023-present nuggets win? Not sure. But for sure 2016-2019 (73-9 GSW and KD GSW before injury in 2019 finals) is unbeatable when healthy they were not healthy in 2019 finals or 2016 finals too
@@dewman7477 Nuggets we actually close in some of those Ls against the Warriors, now imagine that 2023 squad - "Playoffs Murray", Gordon, MPJ, KCP, Bruce Brown,... no shot they'd let Poole (who had a great season and a post season) cook them like he cooked Morris, Campazzo, Hyland, Forbes and Barton lol
Jokic shows that the Centres of yesteryear are the real deal
Draymond Green, who is an amazing player, was shown as not enough against Nikola's scoring.
Let alone Jokic's passing
Ewing, DRob, let alone Hakeem and Shaq, would be making buckets
And let's not forget the extra tall scoring maestros in Yao Ming, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain
😳
Wilt could drop 100 in todays game. He was playing 48.5 minutes per game in the fastest paced era wearing Chuck Taylor’s, out-lifts Shaq, and his vertical jump and speed is uncanny for a 7-footer. He’d probably learn how to shoot threes if he played with a three point line, he’d be great at catching alley-oops, and he’d lead the league in rebounds and blocks
@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen320oh yeah look at how James Harden has improved the offensive contribution from Clint Capella and Ivica Zubać
Wilt would be out of control with today's PNR Offense 😳
These guys will always be in vogue. Analytics and small ball tried it's best to devalue the position
@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen320get Wilt with Bill and u got yourself a legacy-threatening P&R duo. Force them to adapt so they shoot 3s and it's over. Get Ralph Sampson with Hakeem and people will lose their minds. I've always dreamt of seeing Triple Towers, a true Big 3 that can win at least 6 rings just to make these tall dudes look useful enough. Kevin Durant with Hakeem and Sampson or Domantas with prime Duncan and KG is a heluva fantasy combo lol
@@miguelladinodevera614 My dream team would be Magic, MJ, Bird, Kareem, and Wilt. The spacing wouldn’t be great, but Magic would be able to find the open man. Magic would bully the smaller point guards, MJ could score from anywhere, same with Bird, Kareem would be the bail-out option with his skyhook, and Wilt would grab a bunch of offensive rebounds and be an insane lob threat. Wilt even had an efficient mid-range fadeaway
Denver is stacked with good role players ❤️
the nuggets actually have one of the shorter rotations in the league
2:38 dying quail 😂😂
The Nuggets are the new age Spurs and today's fan are gonna have to deal with it. If Jokic wins one more MVP, ring and FMVP he's in my Top 10 All-Time list without a doubt.
(This kept getting deleted so I'll just post it here)
-Magic heavily benefited from playing with Kareem and James Worthy in all the times he's won a championship. Curry proved he can win with significantly less help in 2022 against Boston who were heavily favoured to win.
-Even before that Curry looks like an absolute outlier in 3-year Offensive RAPM ranking first in his 2016-18 stretch. He's also ranked 2nd (15'-17') and 3rd (17'-19').
-In the Playoffs between 2016-19 the Warriors outscored opponents by 10pts per 48mins with Curry on the floor. That impact metric beats out O'Neal in 1999-02, LeBron in 2014-17, Duncan in 01-04, and Garnett in 08-12. He looks like a complete outlier.
-Both Magic and Curry are one way players, so I don't even have to mention their defense since both aren't very impactful yet not negatives. Magic would guard unskilled forwards and would be constantly beat by quick guards. Curry was an average defender but due to lack of size could be considered a weakness.
-Magic needed to be the engine of their offense which prompted great results, leading teams to great ORTG relative to league average at the time, but Curry could also replicate the same offensive impact without needing the ball. Probably the greatest off-ball scorer ever, GOAT level off-ball gravity and spacing which can warp defenses and create open shots for teammates without needing the ball.
-Head to head: Curry ranks in the 96th percentile in scoring rate vs Magic's 62nd percentile. Curry ranks in the 95th percentile in efficiency/TS% vs Magic's 88th. Curry ranks in the 99th percentile in Spacing vs Magic's 51st. Magic ranks in 99th percentile more specifically 1st all time in Passer Rating vs Curry's 73rd.
-And no, Kobe is not above Curry. Kobe was incredibly inefficient compared to Curry, never lead his team to the same heights offensively as Curry, was significantly less skilled in playmaking, Kobe was incredibly ball dominant while Curry was more versatile.
-Kobe's best PPG in his championship runs was in 2003 where he scored 32.1PPG in the entirety of the Playoffs at a horrendous 53.2TS%. Kobe's most efficient championship run was in 2001 at 29.4PPG and 55.6TS%. This season's league average TS% by a SG is 57.5%. Curry's best PPG in his championship runs was in 2019 at 28.2PPG at 63.1TS%. Curry's most efficient championship run was in 2017 scoring 28.1PPG on a staggering 67.2TS%, basically doesn't miss at all. Curry had very similar results in PPG Kobe has while being a significantly more efficient player. Yes, you can argue Kobe was a significantly better defender, but Curry is also a significantly better offensive player, absolutely outweighing Kobe's two way impact. Way more efficient while scoring the same output, the better playmaker, didn't need to be ball dominant, the better off-ball player, and provided better spacing.
(This whole thread is just for Curry. I'll respond in different threads for the other players).
Who’s he taking out? Definitely not curry or Hakeem

@@krisskrosssss your top 10 is in wrong order
@@dewman7477yes, because there totally is an objective top 10. I have my reasons why its ordered this way and you have yours.
you're once again facing the question, who in the NBA can actually win 3 out of 5 against this nuggets team? it's really no wonder they don't give a shit about seeding
I say Kings,Timberwolves,76ers. A team needs to have an All-NBA level Center to beat Denver 4 times.
(beating the 10th seed warriors = seeing where the nuggets are at) losing to the 5th seeded kings = crickets.
Well, they won one now, right? Kings are good regular seasom team. Denver are champions.
@predragnikolic5807 not to mention that Denver recently beat the Kings
We shall see
Hello, can you do an analysis on Lakers' offense and Darvin Ham coaching? Seems like the Lakers should be a better team than what their record shows. So I'm wondering, is it coaching? Players? Or both?
32-16-16 is nice..but add 4stl and 5 deflections..then you have very nice picture..
Jokic is from another planet, Go Nuggets
Jokara MVP
back 2 back!
Idk if they'll need to worry about the Warriors tbh. A breakdown of Nuggets vs Celtics?
The shitting jokic gave draymond was legendary
If OKC does not stop Denver, no one will this year. But it will be a really exciting playoffs in the West anyways, lots of close long series. More teams that feel they are contenders than playoff slots...and one could readily imagine Dallas or the Warriors or the Suns putting together a run somehow.
Suns..
OKC?
@@oliviercolletaz5841 Why don't people think OKC, at the top of the West and 3-0.against Denver so far this season, can beat Denver in the playoffs?
I remember before the season some guy was super sure OKC was not a top contender this year and demanded to know why I said they were...and I told him Chet was the real deal and SGA was a year older, and because I am not a casual.
@@tribalypredisposedplayoffs and regular season is different my guy in a 7 game series okc will lose
As a huge Nuggets fan OKC is the last team I want the Nuggets see in the playoffs. It’s another small market team getting totally overlooked.
agreed
there is no stopping them yet
I've been a Celtics fan for many years. My problem is that Jokic looks too much like Bird with how he plays the game. I would really like to see him get another ring, just not against the Celtics.
Slavic Greg Ostertag will not be denied!
Gordon is in a perfect spot. Doesn't have to be the go-to-guy, doesn't have to be a creater or scorer, but can use his strength, hops and defensive. Perfect addition Murray and Jokic.
Gordon had some outstanding scoring games vs the Heat last year in the Finals but also in the games prior, for example vs the Suns or Lakers was really dominant. You can kind of hold down Jokic and/or Murray, but when Gordon gets 15+ points, just from sprinting down court and backing down a player, or with lobs on a short PnR, or offensive rebounds, you can't win from the Nuggets.
They're cruising through the regular season now, but I'm sure they'll be really hard to beat in the PO's again this year.
Probably
Excellent job but if you stop 9:08 with the awareness of Jokic, he can clearly see No.50 charging into air.
Thx for watching… and …. Um, that’s not clear at all.to me... to the point where I’d say it didn’t happen 🤷🏻♂️
Draymond is the official all time leader in uncalled moving screens
Agree
Тешко бураз добра анализа мислим да ће и ове сезоне да му сисају патике много је јак човек који има много решења поготово у нападу,,а мора се рећи и то да га саиграчи прате и очигледно да је хемија на нивоу и ако сви буду здрави не видим како их победити 4 пута у серији
Just need to pass the wolves and we good
So basically the Warriors are living by the 3 and dying by the 3..what a supprise
Why not a Nuggets vs Thunder, Twolves, or Clippers breakdown?
Cause they lost
wheres the video of the bucks abusing jokic in pnr
The only way to beat this Nuggets team is to outscore them from 3 point land as well as in general. But I don't see any teams doing this consistently. The Suns did it twice last postseason, but Booker had to shoot at ridiculous efficiency just to barely win games 3 and 4 vs Denver. Unless Steph or Booker get scorching hot vs Denver they will win the championship.
Celtics have a real good chance, they have the defense and offense to match up against the nuggets.
@@chrisjohn8135 Nah, Tatum and Brown don't how to play together. Plus, Celtics are ok with other stars going off against them, just like they let James Harden, Steph Curry, Trae Young, and Jimmy Butler destroy their defense. Murray and Jokic will do whatever they want.
The suns are so much better this year its wild, they have legit depth now
@@awesomeninja234 they improved their roster significantly though, they now have Jrue and Porzingis.
Jokic inspired me to touch basketball again
just admit it. gsw small ball style wont work anymore.
Wiggins on Gordon?
why change title?
Jokic doesn't need to look for AG, he just needs to know where his man is. Once he felt AGs man switching onto him, the rest was automatic.
March 7th☘️😉
Green and Kuminga made at least 5 fouls on Jokic, no calls!
What series between those two teams? Warriors are in 10th spot.
Warriors can make the playoffs in that position now
that draymond corner 2 miss is the worse miss I've ever seen 😂
Clips, Wolves, & Mavs might pull it off. Dubs small ball defense is half baked.
It's funny that this guy a year ago made a whole video to say it was impossible for a Jokic team to win a championship
Can u show me where I said that? Because I remember being the only guy saying they were going to win starting in March… u sure you’re not confusing me with someone else?
next 10 years, Jokic will prove hes goat
lol 😂 no he won’t
Warriors will be your 2024 champs🔥🤞🏾💯💨
Well I think the Celtics have something to say about your prediction
Whoever takes em down.. It won’t be the Celtics
Watch them get the double over the celtics in a few days. They play at Denver
@@brookyohannes109nothing to do with playoffs
While I won't argue that the nuggets have what it takes to get another ring. They are not proving shot with a win against the now mid at best warriors.
So the take home message is no one can beat the nuggets 4 times in a span of 10 or so days.
Thought Nuggets defence will decline after Bruce Brown leaves but seems no
Shame no videos about the C's
Can they beat the Celtics?
Still waiting for Celtics Videos......please based gods, it's been so long, surley we are up soon :D
He hates the Celtics just like the national media does!
Nick you’re tripping. The way Dubs attacked Jokic is effective, they were making bad decisions and didn’t attack him enough. Having Jokic in the paint on a smaller player won’t work if the Dubs pull that player to set screens or do handoffs with Steph and Klay.
Regular season means nothing
Only team that has a legit shot at beating the Nuggets is the Clippers. They have two way players like George and Leonard that will hound Jamal Murray. Even though Jokic is too big for Zubac, the adjustment might be to play PJ Tucker, who will make work hard in order to score. In fact, the x factor for the Clippers would be PJ Tucker in this series. Also, Westbrook has to play defense like he did in last year playoffs against Jamal Murray. However, if George and Harden choke the Nuggets will win anyway.
Zubac is 7'1'' 240 pounds but he is no match for joker
@@elijahhardaway2756but harden and Kawhi and pg13 will make up for that over Murray and Gordon and MPJ. Westbrook off the bench will be monstrous too over Murray unless Murray outplays Westbrook and bench. I got clippers in revenge series due to more talent and Kawhi

Lmfao. Obsessed with trying to tear down Jok like you sly. Another triple double. Another W. 4 steals 1 block. Swallow it up.
This video is showing how good Jokic is… did u watch someone else’s video and come to comment here by mistake?
Who want Phil vs nuggets in finals?
The question is... Why does Jokic need to defend the outside?.. lol
lol uhhhhhhh how did jokic-7 foot dude posting a big stat against a very small and struggling warriors team prove anything at all? 😂😂
beating 1/9 steph gsw has nothing with winning the title tho
Because they beat the Warriors when the starter were all bad in just 1 game?
The Joker is already a pain in the a$$ and now AA has become a nuisance in the court with his size and strength. Only the Wolves have a chance with them for a 7 game series.
