Jokic is phenomenal. That's why the Nuggets are in the second round. He earned the MVP.
Look at their roster.

He's overrated. It's why I was never a fan of the Suns trying to get him. Maybe Dback Jon can find some old posts to try to embarrass me with.

Undoubtedly he does.
Which they just said in the post game, each of those stats are higher than the rest of the starters combined. He's the only Nugget that showed up.

no chance. It will be another blow out. Nuggets have mailed it in.

I never said he wasn't good or did not earn the MVP. He got his but I don't believe his teammates better.

I agree, but "too long" was like 2 1/2 minutes. Dude still sucks, and hasn't gotten any of the memos about the team's commitment to defense.

Not from my viewpoint. He got his but did not make his teammates better. IMO.

Chris Paul (8 assists) and Devin Booker (4 assists) with 27 and 28 points respectively.
Paul also had 3 steals and Booker with 1.
They had 6 rebounds each.

I think Jokic was complaining that Johnson knocked it out of his hands, not that it was a foul.

There was almost no drama in this game. You really had to gin up worry as Suns fans. The Suns were not seriously threatened the entire game. Even when the lead was down to 4 or 6 there was no feeling Denver was going to roll.

I don’t think the folks saying that have seen him play beyond this series.

Suns have won 6 in a row in the playoffs. 3 against the defending champs and 3 agains the 3rd seed. Not too bad.

ALL THE SUNS STARTERS WERE IN DOUBLE FIGURE SCORING.
you talking about the center who just got 10 assist?
that’s the definition of making your teammates better

He's a good player. But trying to put him up there with Olajuwan, Shaq, Malone..
NO. Those guys would have wiped the floor with him. IMHO

you talking about the MVP center whose team lost by 19,25 and 14?
Sweet MVP trophy though

I'm not sure what more Jokic can do. He is the only star on the team with Jamal Murray out.
The Nuggets eliminated a good Portland team in the first round.

I have. He is a top player in 2021 NBA. No doubt about it. But all time great center? Not yet, IMO.
And, if I had a team and could take anyone at center I would take Embiid.
