[Durando] Nikola Jokic has four consecutive triple-doubles, and if I’m not mistaken, he has done it by the end of the third quarter in all four games.
He’s gotten a triple double in more than half the games he’s played this season, 19 triple doubles in 37 games
On pace to break Russ’s record..
That’ll be damn cute watching those two work towards it
I imagine Russ slagging off the media for acting like it’s a big deal and tipping easy rebounds to the joker in spite
Imagine Russ hits a three for jokic 43rd from the same corner in Denver that Semaj Christon hit the three to give Russ number 42
It is wild to me Semaj is an actual name. The Norbel Semaj-meme is more realistic than I thought
It’s just James backwards, isn’t that the whole thing?
Yeah
Why though?
Works with Anna as well.
Westbrook basically won MVP because of his game vs us and capped his season off with a 50 point triple double and a game winner. Would be absolute cinema for Russ to go on to help Jokic to break that record. Full circle moment
Not quite. Most games Jokic can play is 76.
And a shitload of Sombor doubles on top of it.
He would’ve had more of he stat pad a little bit. I mean lebron stayed in tonight in a blow out against the wiz to grab that last rebound
Weird for Bron to be chasing stats considering he’s had so many sombor doubles during his youth.
Lebrons career is past ring chasing and he’s basically legacy chasing right now. That’s why he was forcing playing with Bronny so hard. Anything to solidify his legacy is getting chased
Yeah but in retrospect he had no idea he’d still be good, decent at worst, at this age. So he should’ve chased those triple doubles every chance he gets.
He was also off by 1 reb/ast on 5 other games..
Denver offence is rolling right now, watch out NBA
Yes, but this 76ers defensive effort is atrocious. Possibly the worst by any team all year lol.
We’ve been on a easy stretch in the games Jokic has played, but kings wolves and Knicks incoming, those are some decent teams to measure yourself against.
Someone waking up from a coma would be very confused by this comment.
Or released from thai prison…
Considering we lost to some bad teams earlier in the year, this has been refreshing. Jokic is actually playing a lot less and less hard now than he was at the beginning of the year.
For the first time in a long time we’re handling teams we should handle rather play down to them or start the game totally lackadaisically, then have to come back. That’s been one of the biggest differences
AG is back and Murray is doing better, that’s what makes the largest difference compared to most of those games.
Yeah what was up with that loss to the wizards?
Jokic only had 56/16/8.
But actually Nuggets shot 5⁄22 from 3 when Jokic shot 3⁄5 from 3. The Wizards made 16 3s meaning Denver lost the 3 point math equation by 33 points. Both Murray and Gordon didn’t play (injuries). The Defensive effort was also terrible.
It hasn’t been great.
I’m hopeful but not fully on the hype train until murray gets his shit together consistently. Him putting up 20 like he used to per game would have improved the nuggets record significantly lol. AG staying healthy is also a question mark
This comment is like two months too late, what are you talking about haha. In December he averaged 22 and 7 on 47/42/91 splits, in January so far he is averaging 21 ppg on 49/42/93 splits. He is averaging a tic over 20 on the year, “like he used to” is kinda silly – this is who is has always been
He had a triple single tonight. Murray notoriously goes off vs shit defenders and gets absolutely owner by solid to elite defenders. It’s not even inconsistency as much as he cheats everyone into thinking he’s some sort of elite guard.
They didn’t need him though. Pretty much everyone else was playing really well (Julian, CB, MPJ and AG all had 19+) so he took a backseat. He only shot 7 times. I know it’s the overall narrative for the year but he’s played better last month and a half.
He was +18 lmao
People just make shit up because it sounds good for their particular narrative.
Murray has been statpadding a lot. He’s been better in the last few games and put up numbers but you could literally see him do this tonight staying on during garbage time to get those numbers up.
That’s the coach’s decision. I don’t think Jamal should be playing 32 minutes in a game like this but he’s in the unit that leads off the fourth quarter, not the group that finishes the third and doesn’t come back unless the game is close.
He was never consistent
Fair if one swallow doesn’t make for summer it should work both ways. Lets see some consistent good performance.
He’s never ever done that.
That could be problem in the playoff. Russ has so much ball in his hands. I prefer Murray to have 30 than Russ some 12/5/6 with 3-4 turnovers. Russ is solid but his ballhandling could affect Murray in the playoff.
Offense
Jokic : I don’t do 4 quarter.
What’s the difference between Jokic and a dollar?
One quarter a lot of horses
“I asked Jokic for change for a dollar but he only gave me 3 quarters… because he had no 4th quarter!!” image of minion laughing
Those 2010 LeBron memes were something else
Called Melo but he didn’t pick up. Probably because there was no ring!
What’s his triple double per 36?
I respect what Shai has been doing this season, but Jokic is the MVP
They both rock
Ok, but only one gets the MVP. This isn’t everybody gets a trophy competition.
Shai can rock from 2nd place.
Both are absolutely deserving, but Shai will get it because of record + voter fatigue
It’s a win/win this year no matter who gets it
Nah if Jokic wins then it’s racism.
Especially if Boston wins it all again
Nasty nasty man
Thunder are 8.5 game up rn with significantly more injuries than the Nuggets btw
btw doing a lot of work there
You guys are almost fully healthy now and we’re the worst (injury wise) we’ve been all year
If there’s any time to make up ground it’s now
Make up ground with team record? 🤔 team wins? But you were talking about MVP, an individual award.
You been hating on Shai all year bruh stop just trying to get upvotes it’s embarrassing
Me being objective of Shai has led to many downvotes and i would say this in the Thunder sub. Shai is the new shiny toy in this sub and if you really want upvotes, say a noncontroversial take praising Shai in a postgame thread. This isnt hate. Im giving Jokic his flowers. Shai has been good this year and would probably win MVP in many other years but if he wants to beat tjis Jokic, hes gotta be even better wjich he is 100% capable of being
We Stan a self hating commenter who fits our narrative
unless you objective on Jamal then you not welcome here …
You been hating on New_Essay_4869 all year bruh stop just trying to get downvotes it’s embarrassing
How you know, you stalking the guy? Or are you so emotionally involved in Shai’s MVP that you put all the doubters on some list to make comments like these? :D
Nah that account is a weird one, he posts anti SGA stuff even outside the MVP discussion. He was calling Tatum the best player in the world earlier this year when SGA and Tatum fans were going at it. Just downplays him constantly.
Very strange poster, it’s not just that guy that’s noticed it, others think he’s an alt
The guy just want to spend the fourth quarter on the bench thinking about horses.
Ethical load management 😮💨
This stretch has done wonders in getting his average minutes now. Still got a bit of a way to go but it’s a nice start to try and get his average to like 34-35
Is it way too high?
It’s not crazy but he was leading the league in minutes the last few seasons in think and I was showing in the playoffs
He’s up there for stars in MPG this season with the likes of Booker and Tatum and he was too 10 in total minutes played last season but he’s never been the leader in MPG or minutes played I believe.
Big Honey coming for another MVP
It’s def going to Shai. I think it’d be legit if it goes either way this year. He’s been balling and OKC is on a tear.
As the guy that endlessly comments it’s dumb to call an award one way or another halfway through the season:
It’s dumb to call an award one way or another halfway through the season
No we need to call it now so by Playoff time we can start the race war again.
If Shai gets it, he will only get it because Jokic got 3 in the last 4.
Jokic is clearly far better than anyone else in the league right now. Lebron in 2012 vibes.
Nah Shai fully deserving. Stats wise Jokic is better I agree, but being by far and away the first seed without your second best player is incredible. They have a great team, but this is still extremely impressive.
It’s called most valuable player not most valuable team, the fact record has anything to do with it is kinda dumb
Shai and Jokic combined have played 2 of their last 8 4th quarters
In case anyone was wondering if they affect winning
Lmao that’s wild
Imagine the best player in the world by far being robbed twice in five years. Shame on anyone who supports it.
“def going to shai” I see you trying your jinx powers nugs fan
He’d rather have the championship
30/13/10 with 56/47/81 with 1.9 steals , 50% midrange, 33.3 PER, 14.2 BPM and 133-109 off-deff rating on 100 possesion is literally best stats ever
and he just looks the same every fucking time, like he wasn’t trying lol
By a considerable margin
Wilt did 42 pts, 30 rebounds, 10 assists, 18⁄18 from the field, and probably 5+ blocks. Don’t get me wrong, joker is playing amazing but ther has been some amazing games out there by other players.
Those jokic stats are for the season my friend
You are comparing one game to average of this season.
My king
My axe
My goat
my handsome man
My many men
My humps
my lovely lady humps
Check it out!
He’s gonna have a legitimately persuasive Annoying Analytics Guy case for best individual player ever by the time he retires.
Wait till you hear from the BPM guys 👀
… he sort of already is.
Doesn’t he know he can pad his stats so much more if he plays the fourth??? Is he stupid?
The best player in the world.
I selfishly hope Jokic gets MVP again just to spite Shaq’s dumb ass
He’s such a hater. So damn arrogant.
Don’t forget Perks
That is why Javale McGee needs another ring.
He needs these kind of games to remain fresh. Still top 10 in minutes per game this season
Horse man go neigh
Like how the God sit and relaxed on the 7th day of the creation, Jokic sits and relaxes in 4th quarters.
Best part as always, Joker cares not at all about stats or MVPs, only Ws.
Should be the 2 seed in a couple weeks 👀
Jokic probably happy when he gets benched
He may not be the MVP this year but he is the best player in the world.
My favorite part of this is that like, he didn’t even bother fact-checking it
Any other player, we’d be like, “holy shit, did he really do that? Let me go back through the game logs to make sure. That’s insane”
We hear about some statistical ridiculousness from Jokic and our reaction is like, “yeah, that sounds right”
Still second place on the NBA MVP ladder. Mofos wanna see anyone else win but him, even though he’s clearly the best and most valuable player in the league right now. The Nuggets absolutely sink without him.
Source: Strong feeling
All I’m saying is if your definition of MVP is simply the best player OR best individual season I think it’s Jokic again pretty easily. Now maybe that isn’t your criteria and team success or something else is factoring in, but if it’s just “how good has this guy been” it feels to me like his numbers are just too absurd rn.
Has anyone ever done this before?
guy playing 2k irl 😭
I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my MVP…
