I missed 95% of the game due to a flight but it’s a sort of line Ive seen plenty of times from jokic (ok, the perfect shooting triple double is only something he’s done once). it’s a thing he does when he doesn’t respect the opponent in my viewing experience
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 10 January 2023 06:27 (one year ago) link
also does anyone know if anyone keeps stats on opening tips? jokic has to be bottom 10% at that, seems like I never see him win one lol

alright maybe I’m way off base because according to “degendata.com” the nuggets win 70% of their tips?

lowe:
With the Orlando Magic, Gordon was miscast as a wing. Orlando was overstocked with bigs. Gordon had ambitions of LeBron James-style ball dominance. Over several roster mutations, none of it worked. Across the league -- even within Orlando -- insiders wondered: Why couldn't Gordon access his inner Draymond Green? He could be the superstar role player every good team needs!How wonderful when experience and luck put someone in the right place to fulfill their destiny at the moment they are ready to accept it. Gordon is the perfect support player for Nikola Jokic, and he's enjoying a career season: 16.5 points, 7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 59% shooting -- 37.6% on 3s, and 65% on 2s.As a leaper with size and anticipation, Gordon is an ideal target for Jokic -- on cuts, and leaking out in transition. But Gordon is doing so much more than dining on Jokic's passing genius.He's been vicious as a post-up scorer, and defenses are starting to send help -- even when Gordon doesn't have a size mismatch. Denver's trusting Gordon to make the right plays:He still gets to run some pick-and-roll, and has great chemistry with Jokic. The Nuggets have averaged 1.33 points when Gordon shoots out of the pick-and-roll or dishes to a teammate who fires -- No. 1 (!) among almost 200 ball handlers who have run at least 75 such plays, per Second Spectrum.Gordon's supplementary passing has been a big boost. He's heaving accurate outlets, leading fast breaks, and pinging smart extra passes around the perimeter. The Nuggets have sets for Gordon to facilitate from the elbows. What are you supposed to do here -- with Gordon holding the ball at the right elbow, Jokic setting a down screen for Bruce Brown at the left elbow, and ace shooters in each corner?On defense, Gordon can guard all five positions. His pinpoint rotations and shot-blocking are essential in Denver's demanding scheme.Gordon has a real All-Star case.

I mean, there is Braun, too, but the whole team just looked exhausted and out of sync last night. They had, what, a dozen turnovers? I guess if there is an upside it's that the remaining games of the season are relatively easy.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 30 March 2024 16:48 (two months ago) link
braun has no meaningful off the dribble creation skills. he will make a play here and there but he’s not someone you can have fill in as a creator. to his credit he’s a very smart player who knows his skill set and wojt try to color outside the lines much. he’s a very good defender of course

So, what did Gordon do to deserve an exile from off-nights of camaraderie and fine dining with his basketball brothers? He was the only player who didn’t make it to the dinner in Minneapolis on Thursday night when the Nuggets’ title defense was on the brink after those disastrous first two games against Minnesota. The gathering was just what they all needed to brighten the darkest of moods.You know what happened next. The Nuggets started playing like the Nuggets again — chief among them (now) three-time MVP Nikola Jokić — and took Game 3 in dominant fashion. As such, with the basketball gods having deemed this dinner the secret to all that ailed them, the decision was made that Gordon would not be allowed to attend until their good fortunes came to an end.So they wined and dined without him at the same restaurant again on Saturday night, then tied the series 2-2 the following evening at Target Center. Gordon, in turn, will now find himself flying solo in Minneapolis yet again. And truth be told, he couldn’t be happier about it.

re: a post I made after the nuggets fell behind 0-2:
3) this is something that merits a longer and more careful excavation, but malone and calvin booth don’t seem to have the same vision for this team. the nuggets drafted three guys this offseason, only one of whom (strawther) probably had any chance of getting real playoff minutes, but for some reason signed all three to full deals rather than two-ways. despite that, malone never really seriously gave strawther a chance to crack the rotation at the end of the season, so we’re stuck with reggie playing important minutes when it could not be more clear that a) he’s not good enough and b) he does not fit their system. and signing the other guys to full deals instead of two-ways when they weren’t going to be playoff rotation players seems to have been a big mistake when the team obviously needed to shore up their bench somehow
KOC takes a similar angle:
