And I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t lose much defense with any of them and they’d get your more than 6 ppg

They'd all get cooked by Jokic was the point of the initial post and my response

And I’m adding to it. It ain’t just about the defense

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Find someone who supports, and is loyal to you the way osh kosh bosh is for Rudy Gobert.

I really don't, I'm just reasonable about him,

he's a good player but very flawed. great defensively. horrible offensively.


people saying he needs to be benched for Naz reid, when the non jokic bench units are roasting the no Gobert line ups

that's just crazy.

Ant lacks that killer mentality

Bet, Add on fam. Wasn't defending any of that side lol

the famously horrible non jokic bench units are roasting the non gobert units

we don't have to imagine, we literally just saw it,

they are losing tons of defense without gobert.

Gobert offense is a problem. Not the only problem. But a big problem

Like it was in utah

Looks like a football player attempting to play basketball on that end.

Uh, did we literally see game 2

He just needs to be passed to moar11!1111

Day 22 of the playoffs is a wrap!!

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This man was a menace on and off the court

 

[lawdog1]

Joker passing skills

I’ve seen all of prime Magic, Kidd, Nash, and LeBron. I rank Joker up there with all of them as a passer. One of the best passers in NBA history. Period.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Uh, game 2

If Mark Davis refs every game moving forward, I would take game 2 more seriously.

but again in the last two games. no gobert units getting killed.

seems clear game 2 is the outlier.

 

[pdino]

sorry are you saying bench Kat or bench Gobert?

Bench Gobert. Naz Reid picks up Jokic.
-Naz picks him up full court
-gets good looks at 3s
-has played good D on Jokic
Not saying Naz Reid > Gobert, but in this matchup vs Jokic, I’ve liked Naz Reid defensive pressure and physicality vs Jokic specifically. G2 was the most physically tired I’ve seen Jokic in the playoff’s, and some great defense from Naz

BBQ chicken.

pressuring Jokic works when you have Gobert shutting down the rim.

 

[aepps20]

Just glad that the Nuggets showed heart and fight.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Benching Gobert probably isn’t the answer but minutes need to be redistributed.

Gordon 8-11 from 3 as of late

 

[moe200069]

DPOY needing help. Jokic is a wizard though. But walked down

putting english on a pass fading away from a double team is absurd. thank goodness nuggets players are finishing these dimes

 

[pmatic]

I'd probably wouldn't do anything drastic if I were Minnesota. Denver is a bad three point shooting and bench performance away from being down 3-2 coming back to Minnesota.

Don't think Naz and NAW will be that bad like tonight.

 

[elpablo21]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Of course you can’t bench gobert. After everything you gonna ride this out

But did naz even play in the 4th? I legit don’t remember noticing him

malone made the adjustment
they got counters for all that
naz gonna get cooked like tonight when he was guarding jok
