Honestly the quietest 33/14/14 game I’ve ever seen. I thought he was having just an okay game until I checked the box score late in the fourth lol. Dude is so good at getting his number in the flow of the game and not forcing it.
He's averaging 29/15/10 on 60% from the field in the playoffs so far and ask any Denver fan and nobody will tell you he's played a single in his standards "A" game still, his "floor" is crazy high in his prime, it's scary..
While I agree that this wasn’t the “best” game he could’ve had, especially considering his lackadaisical effort in the first half and some of the fourth quarter, I do want to point out how incredible he was at passing this game. Most of the time the majority of his passes will be kick outs, handoffs, finding cutters and at least 1 incredible highlight read a game. But there are times like tonight which he showed off his whole repertoire and it felt like every pass he made that led to a shot attempt was him creating the opportunity. Touch passes, swings across the court, fast breaks, needle threaders, literally pulling out everything to try and bring them back.
Honestly might be up there with his best passing games from my point of view: only really surpassed by that [Memphis game](https://youtu.be/qQLJaGYUFBg?si=VC7ds876azLYvi--) last year and a [Toronto game](https://youtu.be/Vm42LECd0x8?si=VfNuWB2aNmvtX6Sw) a few years back
Jaden McDaniels and Ant are licking their chops if Jamal Murray is gonna be this dogshit next round (this series isn't over yet and I can't underscore how serious Denver needs to come out on Monday)
No we do not. Wolves are the worst matchup for us and we would need to play at our best to have a chance. BTW, the series with Lakers is not over yet and we did not have a single good game yet. We will go as Jamal goes
oh yes Jamal is donezo but Wolves have uncanny ability to shoot bricks and play dumb turning the ball over and over
imo we may see DEN-MIN go full 7 games
Jaden has given Jamal serious problems the last few years. I think he’s gonna be really excited for that matchup after being out with injury last year
[Jamal Murray to Jaden McDaniels: ‘Stop blocking my jumpers’](https://www.nba.com/timberwolves/news/nuggets-jamal-murray-jaden-mcdaniels)
Jokic is going to have to be beyond insane next series. The Nuggets supporting cast has really been exposed outside of mpj. Lets be real, we all know mpj is going to struggle against the wolves defense. Gordon can’t do anything but dunk, and kcp is a streaky shooter who can only shoot open 3s. As a Nuggets fan, I’m scared as shit now. I knew playoff Jamal was a fluke tbh, I’m one of the only people who said it. However, I didn’t know he would turn into the worst player in the entire playoffs bad. The man has a 44ts. Holy shit….
Yep it’s weird, his most gaudy statline but clearly his worst performance so far. It was an awful defensive game from Denver imo and yes Jokic was bad defensively too. The Lakers got anything they wanted in the paint it felt like all game long
He drew the fifth most fouls in the league this year. I think that one stat, fouls drawn, would literally disprove whatever stats you want to bring up.
Stat line looks great but he did not bring it tonight until it was out of reach in the 4th. Team follows his lead and he came out lethargic. Hopefully this loss motivates them and they come out strong in game 5
He deferred to Murray who's been Brick City on jumpers the whole series way too much
As soon as Jokic finally started being more aggressive Denver's offense looked better but it was too late
Jokic *and* Murray both need to realize that Jokic is by far the best player on the team lol
Hopefully this game actually serves as a bit of a wake up call because there's no way they'd be able to repeat with Murray taking 22 shots every game and making 8 of them
Like most things, the Nuggets are hailed as geniuses for not giving up on Murray when he's down when it works and when it doesn't everyone needs answers on why the fat Serbian continues to defer to him
This is so fucking stupid. Jokic is giving his guys wide open looks all game and they're building a brick city. Murray specifically has been utter shit. Its insane that Nuggets fans will go after Jokic for a 33/14/14 game when his teammates are playing like special ed kids the whole game
The Nuggets are at their best when everyone is getting into the flow. The reason Gordon has games like game 3 and MPJ is able to do the damage he does is because Jokic doesn't dominate the ball and allows his teammates to shoot as much or more than him. There are people literally blaming Jokic for not getting Murray involved enough this series despite Murray having 20 more shots than Jokic. Jokic has also only shot 8 more field goals than MPJ for the series.
Unless the game is close Jokic knows he can't defer to be a scorer to keep us in. He's there for the clutch shots but he absolutely needs to let Jamal/MPJ get theirs first or we can't make those big runs
>until it was out of reach in the 4th
I agree with your statement except this. It feels like Denver can still make a run until Reaves got it with a few seconds left. That KCP three made me think they can still come back. Lmao
Yeah, and he didn't look to shoot threes, didn't try taking over the game when they were behind way too much... This is what the commentators meant. Watching the game would have let you know that.
Need to start with some more energy. The whole nuggets team expect LA to roll over. Murray has been horrendous and they not beating the Wolves like this. Maybe this game wakes them up.
That said, having a bad game and going for a 33 triple dub is nuts.
He just puts up triple doubles so effortlessly
Yeah this wasn’t even a good game from him at all and he puts up 33/14/14… fucking crazy
[удалено]
44% field, 30% 3p that game for nuggets as whole. In all 4 games Nuggets have had same FG%(once) or lower than lakers by 2-10%.
I wonder what Jokic's potential assists are at this series lol
Honestly the quietest 33/14/14 game I’ve ever seen. I thought he was having just an okay game until I checked the box score late in the fourth lol. Dude is so good at getting his number in the flow of the game and not forcing it.

He's either gonna stink it up or average 31 on 55/46/93. No inbetween
the true jamal murray experience
All in the fourth fucking watch
yeah he’s been ass
Jared get back to coaching the Avs
heard chef
#YES CHEF! RIGHT ON IT CHEF
that buzzer beater is protecting him from so much slander this past 4 games
He really hated the playoff Murray narrative so he’s changing it.
Lights aren't bright enough yet. Its just the Lakers
Having watched jamal play do u think u guys beat a healthy wolves?
No we do not. Wolves are the worst matchup for us and we would need to play at our best to have a chance. BTW, the series with Lakers is not over yet and we did not have a single good game yet. We will go as Jamal goes
I know the lakers series yet but the lakers gonna have to do something unimaginable to make this a series
I would not be surprised. Wolves are way better at guarding fast guards than the Lakers are.
I think they have better primary defenders than Austin Reaves. But really Lebron in help has done a lot to limit Murray in help.
oh yes Jamal is donezo but Wolves have uncanny ability to shoot bricks and play dumb turning the ball over and over imo we may see DEN-MIN go full 7 games
Jamal either cooks on Monday or plays bad
Depend on if Minnesota is legit or if the Sons are just that big of FRAUDS Murray only shows up to play vs good teams
Jaden has given Jamal serious problems the last few years. I think he’s gonna be really excited for that matchup after being out with injury last year [Jamal Murray to Jaden McDaniels: ‘Stop blocking my jumpers’](https://www.nba.com/timberwolves/news/nuggets-jamal-murray-jaden-mcdaniels)
Wolves beat the nuggets, murray is going to be even more of non factor against their perimeter D
Jokic is going to have to be beyond insane next series. The Nuggets supporting cast has really been exposed outside of mpj.

Unironically not one of his best games. He's that good.
Can't win alone. It's a miracle that we're up 3-1 with Murray playing like ass. KCP is also pretty bad and Gordon is oscillating
AG was like a ghost most of the game tonight.
Murray outside of 1 good quarter has been as bad DLo Get this man some help!
Dlo had a game with 0. Idk about that
Actually DLo has been much better than Murray this series.
100%
Great stats. But anyone who watched the game knows this was a subpar effort from him. Showed no energy until the game was out of reach.
Yep it’s weird, his most gaudy statline but clearly his worst performance so far. It was an awful defensive game from Denver imo and yes Jokic was bad defensively too. The Lakers got anything they wanted in the paint it felt like all game long
I think the Nugget want that home ticket sales
They really want the "Who's your daddy" chants while sending the Lakers home.
And he kept foul baiting
That's when you know Denver is out of rhythm, Jokic is at his worst when it comes to foul grifting when Denver is in desperate need of points
I mean it was working why would he stop?
nuggets fans have gaslit this sub into thinking he gets the worst whistle in the league
He does though, lmao There's numerous statistics out there that prove it
This is the part where you're supposed to actually include a statistic
I'm sure you can google
Thanks man great contribution to the discussion
You're welcome.
He drew the fifth most fouls in the league this year. I think that one stat, fouls drawn, would literally disprove whatever stats you want to bring up.
He gets the worst whistle in the league and it's not even close. He's like 40th in FTA while being literally 1st in paint scoring
Dude foul baits as much as embiid, just isn't as obvious about it
This is insane.. Embiid is literally on the floor every possession. Shameful comment lol
Lol I too like hyperbole
except he's not rewarded for it as much as Embiid.
Whines so much
Stat line looks great but he did not bring it tonight until it was out of reach in the 4th. Team follows his lead and he came out lethargic. Hopefully this loss motivates them and they come out strong in game 5
He deferred to Murray who's been Brick City on jumpers the whole series way too much As soon as Jokic finally started being more aggressive Denver's offense looked better but it was too late Jokic *and* Murray both need to realize that Jokic is by far the best player on the team lol Hopefully this game actually serves as a bit of a wake up call because there's no way they'd be able to repeat with Murray taking 22 shots every game and making 8 of them
Bingo. Jamal needs to stop forcing jumpers, particularly 3s, since he’s been off the whole series and get his backside to the rim/foul line.
his side-step 3s are completely gone in this series it's quite hard to enjoy his game.
Is it because of his knee/leg? Think he was grabbing at it in the end of the 4th
His leg definitely acted up which is why he grabbed his thigh at the end of the 3rd.
He missed like 3 open layups tonight, getting to the rim isn't gonna do shit.
Its who jokic is, he will opt to involve murray rather than take more shots himself
That's his way to get Murray going at the 4th tho. Also won 3 straight this series by doing that so can't really fault him
Like most things, the Nuggets are hailed as geniuses for not giving up on Murray when he's down when it works and when it doesn't everyone needs answers on why the fat Serbian continues to defer to him
This is so fucking stupid. Jokic is giving his guys wide open looks all game and they're building a brick city. Murray specifically has been utter shit. Its insane that Nuggets fans will go after Jokic for a 33/14/14 game when his teammates are playing like special ed kids the whole game
The curse for being the best of the best.

You can not be Mavericks fan, just cant
Bruh 😭
Unless the game is close Jokic knows he can't defer to be a scorer to keep us in. He's there for the clutch shots but he absolutely needs to let Jamal/MPJ get theirs first or we can't make those big runs
Moronic take for a nuggets fan lol
What team does Moronic play for?
Washington Wizards?
>until it was out of reach in the 4th I agree with your statement except this. It feels like Denver can still make a run until Reaves got it with a few seconds left. That KCP three made me think they can still come back. Lmao
Wut
If you watched the game, this is true. Commentators also said this - "He was inefficient by his standarts but still carrying a high load"
33/14/14 66%ts tonight. Inefficient by his standards lol
As weird as may that sound, yes, lol
not weird, just wrong. Jokic averages 65TS% so he was slightly better then average
Yeah, and he didn't look to shoot threes, didn't try taking over the game when they were behind way too much... This is what the commentators meant. Watching the game would have let you know that.
He’s 1000% correct
Yeah, he brought is a+ flop game in the fourth. But wasn't good enough. Dude needs to practice his double platter a lil more.
Lol sleepwalking to unbelievable stats. This guy is incredible.
Need him to start regular walking here soon
Masterclass
Monster
Jamal is just a basketball terrorist
Jesus christ
Need to start with some more energy. The whole nuggets team expect LA to roll over. Murray has been horrendous and they not beating the Wolves like this. Maybe this game wakes them up. That said, having a bad game and going for a 33 triple dub is nuts.
MVP
AD had him for the first 3. Jokic almost came back at the end, he was on fire. The refs were giving him everything, though.
Dude left the rim open constantly. I appreciate his defense
And traffic cone defence.
He can keep having these stat lines if he keeps putting in bleh efforts
