Possibly came back too early to hit the 65 game req but he just looks off. Buckets that were automatic are now bricks and he’s foul baiting a lot more than normal instead of trying to make the shot.

I dont think hes really playing for the stats. He is also playing himself back in shape. The team will be better in March if he plays through this.

The only thing to do is to hope that he comes back into form. Literally everything about his offensive game is off

I don’t think he forgot how to play basketball, Jokic will be just fine, like any player coming back from a long injury, he just needs to get the rhythm back. We always do this with injured players, and 99% of the time, its just haters using this as an opportunity to shit on players, only for the player to get back to his usual self, sometimes in 1 week, sometimes in 2 months, but still

People who watch Jokic more than I do: is he clearly hobbled? He doesn’t look injured but the way he moves on the court, like with Luka, is such that it’s impossible to ever tell when he’s actually hobbled and when he’s just ambling around like usual lol

He looks like he gets tired fast. His touch gets better towards the end of the game like he finally gets used to the pain and looks normal. It’s why I’m still optimistic that he’ll look better when it matters

Id say 24/13/9 is a horrible statline, especially after a big injury /s

I guess people really expect a lot from Sabonis.

What drives me nuts is his foul baiting this year.

yourhomeland

-5 | 7 hours ago

a few people got mad at me for saying this but he looks like he doesn’t know how to fit into the offense that the team developed in his absence. before the team was methodical and efficient, and then they turned into a team that was fast and still efficient. and he’s not fast enough to fit into the run and gun.

schoolhater12 | Raptors

the Nuggets team were bottom 10 in offense in the games he missed. They barely beat teams in the easiest stretch of their schedule

they went 10-6 without jokic and had a completely different look. don’t try to act like they lost 14 games or something disingenuous

schoolhater12 | Raptors

i never said they were awful. They barely beat teams and were a bottom 10 offense without him. Not the methodical and efficient offense you claim

Brownie1119 | Bulls

1 | 6 hours ago

He said they played methodically and efficiently prior to Jokic being injured and while he was still in the lineups. While he was gone they changed up to play to their strengths without him and became more fast paced, which he hasn’t been able to mesh with well since returning. He may still have a lingering injury and his cardio may still be recovering but he and the team also aren’t playing the exact same as they were before.

yourhomeland

-3 | 6 hours ago

lordy you guys will argue anything. they won games and they’ve had their highest non-jokic TS% since he joined the team in 2016

kritikal_thought | Raptors

A near triple double on above average efficiency is considered a drop off for Jokic and there are people on this sub that deny that he’s the greatest offensive player in league history lmao

Majestic-Net-7799 | Timberwolves

His efficiency is below avg for his Position! You cant compare efficiency without taking Position into account.

The avg TS% for a Center is 63%. Jokic is way below that the last few Games.

And no, he isnt anywhere close to the greatest offensive player ever! Only nephews with little to non understanding of stats think that!

schoolhater12 | Raptors

2 | 7 hours ago

tbf, he has been awful to watch. His mid to sub par defense is acceptable because he is a one man offense. His efficiency as a scorer and his awful live ball turnovers means he has been a net negative

Jokic is averaging 24/13/9 on 59.9% TS and 4.6 turnovers in 8 games since coming back, compared to his 30/12/11 on 70% TS averages before getting injured
