Not UConn related but since we don't have an NBA thread Jokic had 31 pts, 22 assists, and 21 rebounds last night.

Just another day at the office for him, the dude ain’t human.

What a ridiculous player. I hope everyone appreciates what we’re watching. This is absurd.

I read that with Jokic on the floor this season the Nuggets have the best offensive rating in NBA history. With Jokic on the bench this season the Nuggets have the worst offensive rating of the last decade.

To that degree it’s incredible, but it’s honestly not that shocking there’s an insane difference. They are so dependent on him, more dependent on one player than I’ve ever seen a team be.

An absolutely insane accomplishment.

What stands out most to me (spoke about it with my son this morning) is the 22 assists. I'll wager that there have been more 60+ point games in NBA history than there have been 20+ assist games.

That's the thing, the Nuggets are too dependent on him. I just fear that they will waste his prime. Those bench pieces they lost were crucial (i.e. Bruce Brown, from right here in Dorchester, MA).

Sounds like the definition of MVP

Steph is playing so well. I honestly wonder if his minutes were down post-ASB just to give him rest after a full weekend for him.

I don’t think the mindset of those guys are comparable to someone like Andre. When people talk about those guys they can score but people expect them to be All-Star players.

I get what you’re trying to say but Andre wishes he had the ability to score 20 points in any game ever. He doesn’t have one skill or ability he’s confident in to score a basket. Those guys just don’t have the will to be “the guy”. Which is something I think Andre actually has mentality wise. Just none of the actual skills to confidently apply it.

It’s bizarre none of his coaches thought it would be important to teach him that seeing how talented he is doing everything else.

He’s always been a great athlete, not a bucket getter. Bottom line. That’s a natural thing. The skills and scoring package comes naturally off of that. He’s not that guy.

NBA MVP discourse needs to be wrapped up, it's SGA's award

I don't have a problem with that. The real shame is that Embiid got the award over Jokic. Some voters led by Perkins were on a crusade not let Jokic get it again that year.

Simply being comfortable going to the basket and finishing would’ve been great.

With good NIL money case could be made 4 staying for any player not in lottery but needs more time b4 prime time.

Eh Embiid had a great season in ‘23. He was deserving as well

What settled it was Embiid dominating Jokic at home and then setting out in Denver. Lol

looked like Durant put his foot under him when he came down on the three (judging by the replay which i've now watched 8 times because Cam is a total psycho and I love this shit). Grizz fans are loving it too. they want him in the lineup more now.
 
I saw an interview somewhere where Isaiah Thomas was saying that Larry Bird would be great in today’s game. He says Bird was just like Jokic. I never really thought about it but then when I started paying attention, the similarity was there.
 
I love Cam. Had played a total of 6 and a half minutes total since early January.

Comes in for 19 minutes, scores 16 points, talks trash to one of the best players in the history of the NBA, hits 2 clutch FTs to help his team win the game

Not 1 bit of that is surprising at all

Nice day yesterday

Tyrese - 14 points on 4-8 three point shooting (but 5-14 overall)

Cam - 16 points in 19 minutes, 5-9 shooting and 4-7 from three

Castle - 14 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, but 4-12 shooting

Clingan - 15 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks on 6-9
 
Clingan got extended run in the second half too. Sat final 5 minutes of the third and then played the whole fourth effectively (minus the last 40 seconds). Maybe he’s in a little better game shape after his two stints on injured reserve.

Castle also only 4-8 from the FT line. He's been having some issues at the charity stripe lately for whatever reason.
