Nikola Jokic calls out the Nuggets’ defense: “We cannot defend.” (Via @TalkBasket )

Went from Reaves and Luka to Maxey and JB

“Let Luka play defense”

Embarrassing franchise

The difference between being a casual and someone who understands basketball is asking them their opinion on Luka Luka will always get to his 32/8/8. But does that make him the best in the league? There’s a difference between getting your stats and playing winning basketball. Luka is an overall winning player, but has losing tendencies. Does he grab a lot of rebounds? Yes. Are they almost never offensive/contested rebounds? Yes. Does he end up with great efficiency? Yes. Is a lot of it from shots that he can’t consistently rely on like 3 balls and foul baited free throws? Yes. And when you actually break down his playmaking, it’s not as good as it seems. He is easily a top 2-3 passer in the league with Jokic and Hali, but he has a tendency to play every possession the way he always has rather than do what’s best in that specific situation. He loves icing out his teammates in the first, he loves throwing lobs rather than prioritizing early shot clock ball movement. He’s also been consistently surrounded by elite offensive talent, similar to Jokic, which helps his assist numbers. Shai doesn’t have that. He’s also just an extremely turnover prone player. He’s often throwing risky passes or getting picked because of lazy plays. He’s tired because he’s targeted so much on defense and running so many offensive plays that it’s hard to not be lazy.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
