Hold on, did you catch that? How in the world did Jokic see that Reeves is sneaking from behind?
Look at the impeccable timing by Nikola fooling Reeves and turning right to Porter all in one motion.
This was not by accident. He knew exactly what was going on the entire time.
This is one of the wildest things that I’ve seen Jokic do on the court, and last night against Lebron and the Lakers he did a lot more.
Look at the genius of Jokic giving the slightest head nod signaling to Holiday to cut.
This was just enough for only his teammate to notice it and nobody else, allowing for this spectacular assist. Amazing.
And if that wasn’t impressive enough, watch what happens here.
Good pick and roll execution, gets an inside position and stop it right there.
As he goes up for the shot, Nikola somehow processes in a split second that Davis stayed down low with him and Porter is open in the corner, so as we let it roll this is a one handed no look pass midway through his shot. Of course the pass is right on target and Porter splashes the 3.
And watch what happens in the clutch. On the drive by Murray, Lebron stunts at him leaving his man open. A mistake by James that Jokic notices. So now when he gets the ball, watch how Nikola looks behind trying to see if Lebron will go for it again.
And as he does it, Jokic just flips it to the cutting Watson for some easy 2 points at a time when it should be the most difficult for a team to score.
In fact, I’m impressed how Denver always seems to generate good looks in crunch time.
While teams struggle with their late game execution, things almost look easy for the Nuggets, and that was the case in this game as well.
With 24 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists Jokic was everywhere on the court. And watch him fight off 4 Lakers guys here to secure the rebound and get 2 free throws in the 4th quarter.
Admittedly it wasn’t just him, as Denver had 3 guys scoring more than 20 points, which of course was too much for the Lakers to handle in this matchup.
Another frustrating game for LA fans who are now even more bitter that Rob Pelinka did absolutely nothing at the trade deadline.
Speaking of that, last night we got some moves that could shift the balance of power in the NBA, and I broke down all the significant trades right here in this video so you gotta check it out. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
