Game of 2 halves for Jokic: 2-13 FG in the 1st, 11-13 in the 2nd. 13-26 FG overall, and a 40/9/8 for the game!

Unusual stat of the night however, Jokic was a -15 for the game and his team won by 1. Without checking I’d guess this can be mostly explained by 3PT variance, which was wild the entire game - Hawks started the game shooting ⁷⁄₈ from 3, and Denver had a 20-0 run to start the 4th without Jokic and made all 7 of their first 3s - but it is definitely a rare sight still

By the time he got back to 50% shooting they got confused and tried to pull out old reliable by talking about his defense despite his defense being great down the stretch

And some people have the audacity to say he flops too much. If he was flopping that much, he would average more than 4.5 free throws a game. The man is getting mauled out there every night

Think he was ok in 2Q but that 1Q performance was all time bad, think it was ¹⁄₉ FG at 0/6 from 3 at one point.

I saw so many comments about how he’s been “terrible recently” when he’s averaging like 30/12/10 on 70% TS over the last couple of weeks lol

His defensive falloff can’t be excused but the second he isn’t ¹²⁄₁₀ from the field with 20 assists offensively suddenly no one knows how he keeps a spot in the league

Dependent-Effect6077 | Nuggets

Yup he legitimately hasn’t been great on defense but people overexaggerate so much

The other team will make two contested threes and then you reload the game thread and all the comments are JOKIC IS A CONE LMAO

It’s not that he’s secretly an elite defender or anything but more that it’s literally not possible to be so bad as to be the reason for every single allowed basket and that’s how some people describe him

Honestly tho, that was one of the worst first quarters I’ve ever seen of him. I definitely wrote this one off as a blowout loss with how the Hawks were shooting and how Jokic was playing.
