Playing Jokic 44 minutes, on a back to back, when he just came back from long injury was certainly a choice.

Despite the triple double is wild lmao

¹⁄₁₃ is Alex Sarr pre-season numbers

Pre-bubble levels of fat behavior today

No reason he had to end up playing 40+ minutes in a game that started with a fall that looked like his season was over

3 point shooting so bad that even when he got fouled shooting one he missed two of the three free throws.

40 minutes on a 20 minutes restriction

Nikola Jokic was feeling DANGEROUS tonight 🤫 😈

🥶 ¹⁰⁄₂₇ from the field

🧱 ¹⁄₁₃ from 3

👀 stat padded for a triple double

🤝 carried by his all star teammate

📉 statline looked like a typo

MVP-level vibes, preseason execution 🔥

Happens to the best of ’em 🃏💀

Why tf did adelman play him that much?

0 turnovers is cool but he really just kept missing damn

throwing absolute piss missles at the rim

_okic struggled with his shot

Did tie Oscar in career triple doubles

Jokic’s 3P% on the season went from 44.5% to 41.8% tonight.

I was still worried about every shot that went up.

He shot them of the game. Looks like it’s gonna be a while till he’s back in form.

Realistically, this is like the beginning of the year when AG had 50 and jokic sold the game going ²⁄₁₃ from 3, but damn was it not fun to watch tonight.

Do you want your franchise player to be injured after coming back from an injury? Because this is how you injure your star player

Is Jokic a Nugget merchant?

Nuggets 1-3 since Jokic returned 📝

Edit: Forgot about the dog water Clippers

He should’ve rested until disqualification, at least people will consider SGA’s 2nd MVP a “what if”

An ugly game all around. 100 three point attempts combined for both teams.

Shot my birthday lmao

This dude fuckin sucked tonight. If he’s tired as hell and can’t get in the post then close with someone else

37/8/75 shooting and still having a 30 point triple double is insane.

Should’ve just kept him out until after All-star break

Running Jamal Jokic 2 man game for 15mins straight, when both are gassed as fuck, Adelman needs to be investigated.

1-3 since jokic game back, do the nuggets have a jokic problem?

This motherfucker will stand at the top of the key wide open for a three surveying the court before deciding not to take the open three and instead make a pass or drive and then in this game was throwing up contested threes like they were going out of style.

+3 in a 7 pt loss and had no turnovers and a 30 pt triple double…

It was actually a pretty good game except he couldn’t hit from 3 and took a bunch—and while it did cost them (he hits a few of those they win) idk if that’s worth calling it a “stinker”.

⁹⁄₁₄ on 2PA’s

Bro shot opening night from the field

Mitchell Robinson had him locked up on several possessions late. I know Jokic is injured, but Mitch deserves huge props. Played Jokic as well as anyone I’ve seen in the league.

Adelman has no choice.

Damn

smells like shit

Hope they stop talking about the minutes restriction since it doesn’t exist.

Kinda funny how the moment jokic comes back, the role players start playing like gleague players. The entire ot and 2ot was just murray and jokic putting up shots and hoping they would go in.

Get Nico to Trade him!

“Yay stats!!!” - Nuggets fans

that 3 is worth more points than a normal 3 though cause its Serbian

Fix post title to The New York Knicks Defeat the Denver nuggets.

Faded

The only right choice for Giannis

sheesh he is clearly not 100% yet

If you ever need to prove to somebody that triple doubles are overrated. Show them this game.

Jalen Brunson post New Year is always scorching. Seen it too many times lol

“Stinker”

Mitchell Robinson would be an all star in this league if he could shot 65% from the line instead of like 48%. Not many guys id rather have on earth try and guard Jokic, Embid, or Wemby. Shit he gave Tatum a head ache in the playoffs last year

Was at the game. Certainly a few ill advised shots but we were encouraging them

at least hes ok, and all that playing time will get him back to game shape quicker, he needed the cardio

Who else had Jokic for +1.5 Threes and watched in horror as he went 1-13 from 3?

jokic is just diabolical, despite going 1-13 from the 3pt, still got a triple double!! 💀

Jokic saw people just prioritizing PRA and said FUCK efficiency

hope he gets his footing back coz his Nuggets need him

Still won his minutes like always 😂

Shit tier shooting though

When do we start comparing him to Cade?

Ngl that first game against the clippers is looking like a fluke.

He’s too fat, they should trade him

Call Washington

Lmao lost 10 to 500 bc of this denver stupid loss In fact jb is on sum shiet, ballin like kobe fck

We live in a world where that’s a poor performance from Jokic

3 straight losses since Chokeic came back and now as a 7 footer a game where he shot 37% from the field

He really makes that team worse
