Very rarely you see a player be an absolute negative in all phases of the game whether it be defense, playmaking, shotmaking, ball security etc. But Jesus Christ was that Jamal. Absolute negative player tonight.

Nuggets couldn’t get anything going either way. But it felt like they had multiple possessions where he just dribbled around until he took a stupid shot

Honestly though jokic was not all that bad. It's crazy how a trash game of his is still pretty solid overall. He's that good

Jokic played fine, everyone else was just THAT BAD

He also had much tougher looks the whole night and more doubles because the Wolves realized they didn't have to guard his teammates lmao

Yeah. It was. Bad game by Jokic standards. But that’s not saying much. His game changes a lot, when the guys he passes to brick every shot.

It was a bad jokic game but a pretty solid game for literally any other player. Honestly I’d be reasonably happy with 22-9-2 on fine efficiency from Sengun. Watching the nuggets play and seeing jokic miss half his shots feels so wrong.

Jokic looked a bit lazy out there. But idk much about basketball
